Celebrated my 32nd birthday yesterday and my 2nd birthday since we embarked on this magical adventure we're calling COVID-19. An incredibly special day thanks to so many but a special shout-out to A. Baker. A Dallas-based cottage bakery (and a good friend), Alex crafted a Chocolate Fudge Cake with Whipped Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Filling, Salted Chocolate Cream Cookie Crumb, ️Brownie Batter Buttercream, Dark Chocolate Ganache, and Mini Peanut Butter Cups. Check out her masterpiece via my Instagram and consider her for your next event or special sweet treat!
Selena Quintanilla was a Texas icon—a beloved, Grammy-winning artist who touched millions in life and continues to inspire people around the world. As her fiftieth birthday approaches, the writers that Texas Monthly gathered to celebrate her are part of a generation of Latinos who came of age after her heyday. I included one of my favorite pieces in this week's "Long Reads" but the entire issue is worth a read.

Her life in South Korea seemed perfect: new friends, a burgeoning career, reality-TV fame. But she was about to become notorious—disappearing without a trace, only to reappear pledging allegiance to North Korea.
In the years since her death, the Queen of Tejano has become a gay icon, especially in Texas.
Added these to the pile...
A hilariously heartfelt novel about living life at full force, and discovering family when you least expect it, influenced in part by the author’s time as Carrie Fisher’s beloved assistant.
One to Watch follows Bea Schumacher, a fashion blogger who winds up the lead on The Main Squeeze. As the first plus-size contestant in the shows history, Bea's journey is full of highs, lows, laughs, and love.
My most clicked link to date, these leggings are selling like crazy! Quite a few subscribers said they feel like butter (hopefully a good thing?) and are indistinguishable from their Lululemon counterpart.
A number of you reached out and let me know that you ordered and are LOVING this swimsuit. It comes in a ton of colors, that middle band is a little sheer, and it's affordable via Amazon Prime. How could you go wrong? I'm also obsessed with this one.
Listen, Walmart continues to step it up. Admittedly, I'm not a frequent in-store shopper (it stresses me out) but I keep stumbling upon such good online finds. Click through for men's, women's, and home gems as well as a STUNNING new appliance collection from Drew Barrymore. (Nothing about that last sentence seems correct.)
Soon, invitations will return, and it might not be so easy to say no.
The duo behind Carlos David bring their youthful energy and fashion know-how to a kid-filled home.

Her feathery mushroom cut both defined and defied ’80s glamour.
It me. I'm Collin. Shockingly, I hate talking about myself but here are the CliffsNotes. 31, Texan turned cruise ship character turned Texan turned Chicagoan turned Texan. Event designer and planner. Interior designer and stylist. Corporate badass. Spotify playlist-makin' fiend. Partner and double dog dad. Cursed with an aggressive gluten intolerance but also a passion for bread and no f*cks to give. Why a newsletter? It gives me a creative outlet with a deadline and my therapist says these things are important. Plus, I love to read, shop, share, and most importantly spend time on the internet. I don't sleep.
