Okay, did we all collectively ask Houston for fall vibes the second September arrived? 🍂 My October 1st birthday countdown officially starts NOW. I may be Mediterranean and deeply devoted to summer, but fall gives me that warm little feeling in my tummy. It's when I want to slow down, reflect, and pour back into myself. Summer is for your outer self. Fall is for your inner self. lol, stay with me…

Now, I won't be revealing my birth year on the internet, but gymclassheroes. and Lupe Fiasco were absolutely PEAK music for us. Both are coming to Smart Financial Centre at Sugar Land on September 30, and we're giving away a pair of tickets. The fact that it's the night before my birthday feels personally targeted.
