Ahhmazing! This new restaurant has it's grand opening tomorrow (hours are 7am-5pm), I came for the soft opening and met with the owners. Everyone is incredibly kind. Now, about the place:

Restaurant style- Australian Coffee, Cafe, Healthy options with fresh ingredients.

Coffee- Incredible flavor, texture, and quality. The baristas were super kind when I was indecisive about what I wanted. The staff in general were good about this. I had a classic latte and espresso just for baseline understanding of their coffee. Top notch latte art for the esthetic as well. They make their vanilla with Madagascar vanilla in-house. The espresso had a nice fruited undertone. I drank it cold because I take too long to take photos but it didn't make it any less flavorful. I'll definitely drink it hot next time, I swear. Ha.

The staff- Everyone is so sweet! There are a lot of people working here so there is always someone available to help out. It was pretty busy when I came too just for reference. The general manager was so helpful with the menu and knowledgeable about each item. The wait staff was always willing and ready to help as well.

The backstory- The owners were there and were an absolute joy to be around. The original location opened up in New York and they now have over 50 locations in the US. This is the first location in Houston and they have more on the way within the next year.

The food- Mmm so fresh! They carry some of the best pastries in town as well. The pancakes were not just gorgeous but so flavorful. They have a delightful lemon curd on top with fresh fruit and edible flowers. I also got the Athletes wrap which I had later on. Just perfect, nice and balanced. Just what I needed after a long workout. Everything was so beautifully plated and crafted.

This restaurant is an instant favorite and I look forward to their presence in Houston. I will definitely be back to test out more or their menu and drink options.

Got a photoshoot in with Christian at the Art Alley at the other day. Tomorrow kicks off here in Houston and we are ready for it.

Finally! Someone who can actually cut my hair right!! Judy is the owner of 3930Ego and she is incredible. Not only is she super sweet, bonus points, but she can work a pair of scissors like a magician.

Okay, about the experience: I came for a full wash, cut, and style. I've been growing my hair out super long and especially my bangs so I can change up the straight bang look. The hair wash is traditionally one of my favorite parts because it's just so relaxing. For the cut, I gave her free reigns with the only stipulation being to keep it as long as possible. I knew I needed to lose about 2 to 4 inches of dead-ends and to add layers. I have a ton of hair and it gets extremely heavy so I needed layers. Headaches aren't fun.

About the style: I absolutely love what she did! She gave me a dream cut. I'm low maintenance when it comes to doing my hair so I don't want a style I have to mess with every day. I basically get out of the shower, air dry my hair, and boom 💥 perfect hairstyle! I get so many compliments and I literally do nothing to my hair. I model too so it's nice to just show up on set and have hair ready to go.

3930Ego was chosen as Houston's Best Of The Best as a hair salon this year and it's 100% accurate. Judy got Best Of The Best as a Stylist and it's so deserved. I highly recommend this salon and spa. They just added a massage Therapist as well as a Permanent Makeup and Eyelash specialist so those are next on my list to try. 10 out of 10.

I can now say I've had the pleasure of visiting MASS MoCA , my now new favorite museum to visit! Growing up, I always had a thing for textures. I never understood why but I would have reoccurring dreams of large rocky like textures, much like the 5th picture actually. It was an incredible experience full of multi-level experiences that had you traveling through various tunnels of artwork to get to the next section. I was honestly the first time going to the museum meant getting to have an experience in just walking through the museum itself.
Mass MoCA was once a factory 🏭 "wholesale shoe manufacturers; a brick yard; a saw mill; cabinet-makers; hat manufacturers; machine shops for the construction of mill machines; marble works; wagon- and sleigh-makers; and an ironworks, which later forged armor plates for the Civil War ship, the Monitor," to be exact.
It's like it was converted into something living and breathing the way people flow through It's vessels.
I look forward to my next visit for sure. It's certainly a must see.
