🤠This ain’t my first rodeo! 👵🏼The ear 🤠This ain’t my first rodeo! 
👵🏼The earliest memory I have of the rodeo is watching Selena in concert! So trust me when I say I’ve been going for years or should I say only a couple....
🗣Here are a couple of tips for surviving your FIRST rodeo! 
⏰GO EARLY! Doors open at 8am! Carnival opens at 4 but most of the food vendors were open throughout the day.
🚊PARKING I’ve been parking in the Yellow lot for $20 & there’s a tram that will drop you off at the entrance or it’s just a short walk away. You can also take the metro or rideshare.
🎟CONCERT TICKETS get you into the rodeo. If you're just visiting the carnival/fairgrounds you will need NRG Park Admission!
🐎ARRIVE AT THE CONCERT EARLY (6:45pm on the weekdays and 3:45pm on weekends) to watch the rodeo! You can't miss the Calf Scramble & Mutton Bustin'!
🍷BUY A BOTTLE OF WINE at the Champion Wine Garden (opens at 4)! It’s so much cheaper than buying individual drinks. 
🍕THE PIZZA AT THE WINE GARDEN is freaking amazing! The stall is called TCG Food Service and they are to the left of the entrance to the wine garden. It's something about the bread that’s just so good & after that bottle of wine, it’s 👌🏼
👢BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES. No matter how you get here, you will definitely be doing a lot of walking! 
👇🏼Comment below any tips you have!

🏙When working from home means working from coff 🏙When working from home means working from coffee shops with skyline views. #ad 
I don’t think I will ever go back to corporate as I love being able to work from anywhere as long as I have wifi or signal. Working in Social Media, a lot of my work can be done straight from my phone. I know I can trust @metrobytmobile to keep me connected wherever I choose to work from home. 
With the power of T-Mobile’s 5G network, you’ll have more 5G coverage. 
How do you #ruleyourday? Do you also work from home or do you have to go into the office?

🏝South Padre Island Round-Up I can’t believe 🏝South Padre Island Round-Up
I can’t believe it was my first time in South Padre Island. I had a chance to visit during the winter on a dream collab with @visitsouthpadreisland x @texasmonthly and had an incredible time. I left the island understanding why everyone loves South Padre Island, it truly is a gem!

1️⃣ @spiwaterrentals - The most unique experience in South Padre Island, a Duck boat tour! And yes they are electric!

3️⃣ @spibirding - Get in touch with nature with beautiful views from this boardwalk and say Hello to Big Padre, their 12’6” resident alligator!
4️⃣ @seaturtleinctx - Learn about the rehabilitation and conservation of the sea turtles! What they are doing for our marine turtle species is amazing!
5️⃣ @portisabeltexas - Visit the only lighthouse in Texas that you can climb! 
6️⃣ Visit the sandcastle village and be amazed by all the sand sculptures!
🍽WHERE TO EAT 
1️⃣ @cevicheceviche_spi - if you only eat at one place this has to be eat! Build & customize your own ceviche bowl 🤤
2️⃣ @mahinicspi - Mahi-Mahi  tacos, Mahi-Mahi sandwiches, burgers and Texas sized fries with an amazing view!
3️⃣ @thepaintedmarlin - the place to be for sunset! Order the avocado fries! 
4️⃣ Head to the entertainment district and choose from various restaurants with live music and waterfront views!
🏩WHERE TO STAY
There are plenty of options throughout the island, hotels, condos, Airbnbs, at every price range. And because the island is fairly small you can walk to some places, drive, rent a golf cart, or use their free shuttle service!

5 Tips for your next visit to Magnolia Market

Miles to Magnolia Waco Texas

5 Tips for your next visit to Magnolia Market at the Silos

I’ve been wanting to visit Magnolia for years and I finally had a chance to visit Waco for the first time while working with Waco Chamber. I knew I had to add a visit to Magnolia Market to my itinerary.

As you all know Magnolia Market is one of the most visited sites in Waco. So I want to share 5 tips for your next visit to Magnolia Market at the Silos to know before you go! I’ll be sharing tips and tricks I wish I knew before my trip!

If you are looking for more things to do in Waco be sure to check out my blog post here for a 3 day Itinerary.

1) Make a reservation for Magnolia Table

Magnolia Table Waco Texas

Not many people know that you can actually make a reservation for Magnolia Table if you visit Monday-Thursday. I highly recommend to make one as soon as possible, make your reservation here. To be honest I didn’t even know we could make reservations until after our trip!

Be sure to note that bookings can be made for Mondays thru Thursdays up to 30 days in advance and not within 24 hours of the next available reservation date.

Speaking of Magnolia Table, y’all HAVE to get Jo’s Buttermilk Biscuits with the butter flight and the Pancake Breakfast, TRUST ME! Watch the video here to see how amazing it looked!

2) Visit early in the morning

Magnolia Table Waco Texas

This one is obviously a no brainer. Be sure to get there early, because  there aren’t that many people who decide to wake up early on vacation.

If you don’t happen to be visiting Magnolia Table on a Monday- Thursday or didn’t get to make a reservation then I recommend to get there right when they open at 7AM. 

My friend and I couldn’t wake up SO early but we arrived at 7:45AM on a Monday. We put our names down, told them any seating was fine (highly recommend this), and they said the wait time would be 45 minutes. Then, we walked over to the Takeaway + Market area for coffee and pastries. 15 minutes later, we get a text saying our table is ready! 

Although, I do have to note that the bar seating was not too comfortable and faced the takeaway area, so it was awkward BUT we didn’t wait too long!

3) Go during the weekday

Magnolia Press Waco Texas

If you are able to travel during the week I highly recommend doing so. You will have shorter lines, less people, and a much better experience.

Although, I will say Monday and Fridays were still quite busy as I understand people like to do long weekends.

We visited Magnolia Press on a Tuesday morning around 10AM and it was about a 20 minute wait from waiting in line to getting my coffee and food. I tried the Bacon Cheddar Bake Duo which is pretty much egg bites and they were SO good! We also didn’t have any issues with indoor or outdoor seating.

4) Visit the Silos Baking Co right before closing

All day we looked at the line for cupcakes and it was incredibly long! The trick is to line up 30 mins to an hour before closing and the line will be WAY shorter. We lined up at 5:30pm and waited less than 10 minutes to get our cupcakes.

I will say that I absolutely LOVE sweets but yet I thought the cupcakes were SUPER sweet. My favorite one that wasn’t too over powering was the Strawberries ‘N Cream!

5) Plan ahead!

Magnolia Market at the Silos Waco Texas

Knowing that Magnolia draws in about 2M visitors a year to Waco, Texas, there will always be tourists at Magnolia Market. Do not have expectations that no one will be in your picture, that you won’t have to wait in line, or that you will have it all to yourself.

Plan ahead the things that are a MUST on your to do list but also be prepared to switch up your plans if the lines are too long at one spot. For example, plan to roam around the shops, go into the chapel, browse the food trucks and explore the ballpark! Honestly, plan almost a complete day to explore!

But most importantly, have fun! Take a lot of pictures and enjoy all the amazing food and amazing things that Magnolia offers!

I hope you found these 5 tips for your next visit to Magnolia Market helpful in planning your trip!
