Whole Foods

Austinites seem to be obsessed with all-natural organic everything and who can blame them?  Just the thought of putting anything fake or artificial into my body makes me sick!  Well, I have to admit I can think of one obvious exception to the rule. 

FAKE AND ARTIFICIAL?

You’re probably wondering “Why is she recommending a grocery store, when there’s so much more to do in Austin?”  The downtown Whole Foods location is the flagship for the entire country, and just like me, it truly is a sight to behold.  The staff is friendly, the store is beautiful and the products are top notch.  One of my favorite parts is the buffet and food stands.  Grab yourself a container and pick out your favorites to either take home or you can enjoy them in the dining areas.  This flagship store offers cooking classes and even catering!   And never you worry your pretty little head about chemicals and artificial products, everything is all natural and many of the products come from the surrounding area.

City Wide Garage Sale

One man’s trash is another man’s…well trash I guess.  For all of you who love to go garage sale hunting, you are in luck.  Every month, the convention center is filled with rows upon rows of stalls showcasing and hocking their goodies.  NOT THOSE KINDS OF GOODIES, get your mind out of the gutter.  Anyway, this is a great alternative to driving around Austin and standing in the heat picking through your neighbors’ old possessions.  You never know what you might find along the way.

Austin Fitness Martial Arts

You know I have to admit, looking as great as I do really comes with a lot of baggage.  It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to maintain my pristine image, not to mention men are always falling over themselves to get their hands on me.  I guess it just goes with the territory of being a fabulous celebrity movie hostess.  What can I say?  Well let me tell you, Austin Fitness Martial Arts is a great place to get in shape or stay fit.  Not to mention learn how to kick some ass!  You never know when some vampire or deranged psychopath is going to get a little too fresh and you are going to need to set him straight.  They offer tons of classes so you should be able to find something that works for you.
