TNL Reviews: Hot Luck 2018
Hot Luck is a match made in heaven for me. It includes my two loves of food and music. Hot Luck Festival is a food and music festival from Aaron Franklin, James Moody, and Mike Thelin. Hot Luck is what happens at the fire—in the flames. It’s where the inspiration turns into food. And that food feeds the people, and the music, and the next round of crazy ideas that flicker to life.
TNL Travels: New Orleans, Louisiana
When the bride invited me to New Orleans for her bachelorette, I was a little nervous. Girls’ Trips, in general, make me nervous after a bad experience I had. I was excited to go back to NOLA, though, since the last time I was there it was for my brawda’s big 2-1. Although I didn’t hit up NOLA for my bachelorette, it’s the PERFECT place for a bachelorette. There is SO MUCH to do! And the food is AMAZING!
TNL Travels: Getting Ready for NOLA and Packing List
I am officially 1 day away from my trip to NOLA for a friend’s bachelorette party weekend. I haven’t been to New Orleans since 5 years ago for my baby brawda’s big 2-1. I love the spirit and the culture of The Big Easy. I am SO EXCITED to finally be back. I love traveling and it is definitely something I want to do more. I especially love the planning process leading up to a trip. I always do the same 3 things before visiting somewhere new or even somewhere I have gone to before.

MALUMA BABY! TNL at Maluma F.A.M.E. World Tour
I had the opportunity to attend his concert, FINALLY, after months of trying to make plans with these girls. It was crazy, though, because I had reached out as press to see if I could get a chance to get closer to the action and really have the opportunity to review Maluma and his tour. And they ended up saying YES and hooking me up with two tickets and a press pass.
A Little Piece of Mi Mexico at Taste of Mexico 2018
Every now and then I get really homesick. When I first moved to Austin from Del Rio, TX I would go home several times a month. It was hard for me to let go and to move on. That and I missed the food terribly. I was so used to having Mexico right across the border that I really did take it for granted. When I found out there was an event called “Taste of Mexico” happening in Austin, I could not contain my excitement!! FINALLY!!!
