Soo & the City Blog

Things have changed, and so have I. After a break since 2022, I’m starting fresh in Ann Arbor, Michigan—a charming college town known for its small-town vibe, big nature scene, and four seasons (including snow!). What I love most about Ann Arbor is that it’s everything Houston is not—focused on non-materialistic values, outdoor living, and a slower pace. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family, which is why so many people move here for exactly that reason. From outdoor adventures to charming spots, I’m exploring it all and rediscovering myself along the way.

That said, Houston will always be home. It’s where my friends, family, and real estate business are, and I visit often. I’m excited to share the best of both worlds with you!

My first mobile starbucks order, didn't even have to wait in that long line, and it even has my name on it! Love it!

drybar (Uptown Park)

This one is supposed to be nicer than the Blow Drybar, so they say. I had someone treat me to a blow out, my first time. It's super fun, I think it's $40...and yes, they wash and massage your scalp. I walked in here with super straight, flat hair and walked out feeling very glamorous! Great place to go if you have a special event and need a hair fix. Fun!

My Bark Box Has Arrived!

February 19, 2014 in Random, Services, Shops, Soo Out of the City

As you can see the pups love it! Especially the chews! What is it? It's a box full of treats, chews, new products and toys that comes once a month. I figured it would be something fun for the dogs, so I went ahead and ordered it as soon as I heard about it. My box is only $19/month and I figured if it comes to be too much, I could always give it as a gift to my followers. If you have a pet and would like to sample or see what one of these boxes are like, post here and the next one that comes in is yours! This service is not in Houston, but from Brooklyn, NY and you know...not matter where the location, I always support great, fun ideas!
