Doc's Motorworks Bar & Grill

Yesterday Maddie and I decided to walk down South Congress again for lunch, but most of the trailors were closed! So we walked back right next to my office to another Austin staple called Doc's Motorworks Bar and Grill, and I'm glad we did because it was 1/2 price burgers! They were delicious, but it was so hot outside (thank goodness for those misting fans!) and I could barely finish my burger OR fries.

When we got home we headed to the gym and did a 30 minute tough interval workout on the elliptical before doing some arm workouts, then got some tanning done before dinner.

I had a really hard time sleeping last night! I don't know why, but I was up until about 1:30am completely zoned out on Pinterest, lol, does that happen to anyone else!? So needless to say I'm draggin' this morning with my big ole cup of coffee, but it's gonna be a great day! Oh and guess what!??

1 follower away from hosting my big giveaway! I'm going to plan on it being the first week of July!! I'm so pumped and so thankful to have met and become close with so many of you! Thank you for your readership & I can't wait to give back! xo

Here are our fabulous pictures from lunch yesterday! If you are an Austinite or visiting Austin soon - definitely check em out, they are great! Oh, and amazing Happy Hour specials too!


My two favorite shirts at this little T-Shirt Boutique! hehe


Thought it was pretty comical to see the sign, "BYOF" (Bring Your Own Furniture) on an apartment building... very clever! Lol!

Today has been hectic so far went to go grab coffee this morning and couldn't find my debit card, so had to rush home and rummage through everything to find it - only to realize it got stuck in my Mary Kay brush kit thing, ughhhh I hate that feeling! Let's hope the rest of the day goes better! Happy Tuesday y'all!

Hopdoddy Burger Bar

Maddie's 2nd Day on South Congress was fun! We didn't do as much shopping because it was sooo hot!! It was fun though, we stopped by a few little shops on the other side of the street, and even visited some cute puppies (They have an Ausin Pet's Alive trailor set up on SoCo with puppies for show for possible adoption). We didn't snap as many pictures as I'd hoped, but OMG if you are in Austin or are ever planning on going to Austin, Hopdoddy is one of the best tasting burger joints I've ever been to... Maddie was in heaven!

Maddie anxiously awaiting her burger and fries!


Holy yum. This was a Classic Cheese Burger with their Sassy Sauce (which is a combination of their homemade horseradish, mustard, and mayo with spices). The fries are seasoned with garlic and herbs which makes them so flavorful, oh and to top it off:
a NUTELLA and Pretzel Milkshake! We obviously didn't even finish it halfway we were so full from the burger but it was the bomb.com.


So YAY for Friday!! This week has flown by for me, maybe it's because my sister has been able to hang out with me at work and we are currently jamming out to Dubstep Radio while drinking coffee. So fun. :-)


Have a great weekend, friends!

South Congress

So if you have been following along with my blog, my little sister, Maddie (14) is in town for 3 weeks, and we are having a blast! Yesterday, she came with me to work, and we listened to Pandora as I worked away & took an extended lunch to do some South Congress Shopping since my office is located very dangerously close conveniently on the shopping strip! Here are some pictures of our day yesterday.

During our walk, we stopped and grabbed a slice of the delicious "Home Slice" Restaurant, then grabbed Fro-Yo as we walked back into the office. It-was-Amazing!

Today is known as "First Thursday" and as the first Thursday of the month there are incredible sales, biker rallies, tons of tourists around so we will check it out & have some lunch on SoCo again today! We'll definitely capture some more photos! :-) Happy Thursday!
