Hi friends! 🫶 Can I just say how cool it was getting to meet some of you this weekend? And to everyone who spent Sunday making rugs with me at Habibi Bazaar... thank you. Watching everyone get so creative was honestly the highlight of my weekend. Now it's officially 713 Day, and we're ending the celebration tonight at Meow Wolf. If you see me wandering around in a Do713 shirt, come say hi!

Now... after a weekend of running around Houston, I think we all deserve a little reset. That's where Black Swan Yoga comes in. We're giving away a free month of classes, and honestly, I don't know who needs this more... you or me.

HAVE AN ADVENTURE AT THESE ADVENTURE PARKS

Some of us relax with a margarita. Others prefer hanging from a zipline 40 feet in the air. If you're in the second group, this guide is for you. We've rounded up Houston-area adventure parks where you can climb, zip, swing, and test your courage. Whether you're planning a date, a family outing, or just need to burn off some energy, these spots are guaranteed to get your heart racing.
