Auricle Cartilage Piercing | My Experience
In February of this year our company had a big company party that just so happened to be down the street from a tattoo parlor – Taboo Tattoo – and I had been wanting a new piercing for a few…
My Favorite Dallas Trails
As a result of COVID19, my team at work has been reduced to 32 hours a week. Instead of (more accurately, in addition to) being sad about the reduction of income and things to do, I’ve decided to start trying…

David Sedaris Reading & Signing at SMU

When Glossier Comes to Dallas | First Impressions
