Unpopular opinion: Galveston is underrated! Yup, I said it. I think us Houstonians take it for granted but I mean look at this view! I loved grabbing some coffee and then heading over to this spot and catching up on social media & some emails.

I got invited to attend Sesanood’s launch the other week and y’all they were SO good! First of all they are vegan friendly, you can order online, they are a female owned company, AND they have a mouthwatering flavor only found in authentic traditional recipes from Taiwan, (inspired by their Grandma).
And P.S. It is Taiwanese husband approved! My husband had some for dinner from my swag bag and he absolutely loved them! #bestwifeaward
Sesanood is the higher quality instant noodles mixed with premium sesame for a nutritious blast of positive energy and essential vitamins. Enjoy thick, tender, sun dried noodles with a rich taste that never disappoints.

🤠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!

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?

Texas + Beyond

10 Murals in Waco

August 14, 2021      Leave a Comment

I LOVE going mural hunting, and I couldn’t believe there were over 10+ murals in Waco! Not only is mural hunting free,  but you get to explore the city you are visiting AND get some photos for the gram! Sounds like a win win to me!

I’ll be highlighting some of my favorite murals but if you are looking for more murals, including a map, click here to see the ones Waco Chamber has highlighted.

1) City with a Soul

Waco Texas Mural City with a Soul

Artist: Kalyn Dunks

Location: The Findery/501 S 8th St

Tips: First up is definitely a classic and located steps from Magnolia Market. The mural highlights some iconic spots in Waco! You can find plenty of parking at The Findery, then take your picture and head inside the boutique for some shopping.

2) Starry Night

Starry Night Waco Mural

Artist: Jenny Jameson

Location: 1000 Colombus Ave.

Tips: This beautiful mural is located on the side of the building with plenty of parking. It’s modeled after Van Gogh’s Starry Night and I think it looks absolutely amazing!

3) You look nice today Wacotown

You look nice today wacotown mural

Artist: Binty Bint

Location: 115 N. 7th St

Tips: I thought this mural was super cute and fun! It is located behind the building in the parking lot. Just note that there are parking spots right in front of it but we stopped by on a Saturday morning and had no issues.

4) Bold Waco

Bold Waco Mural

Artist: Nick Frigo

Location: Barnetts Pub/420 Franklin Ave

Tips: I have to say this mural was a hard one! First of all it is a huge mural! Second, we passed by so many times and there were tents set up right in front. Finally, we found it empty one afternoon and got the shot!

5) Dichotomy Rooftop

Dichotomy rooftop Waco mural

Artist: Mike Trozzo

Location: Rooftop of Dichotomy/508 Austin Ave

Tips: This Waco mural is a hidden little gem! Grab a drink from downstairs, and take it up to the rooftop! Then, you will find this hidden mural spelling out Waco and an amazing view of downtown.

 

6) Sweet Trip

Sweet Trip Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: The Sweet Station/425 S 8th St

Tips: Another mural that is also walking distance to Magnolia Market. It’s located at the cutest gas station turned into a candy store! This mural is perfect for ending your SWEET trip to Waco!

7) Dr Pepper Mural

Dr Pepper Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: Dr Pepper Museum/300 5th S St.

Tips: The Dr Pepper mural is located inside the courtyard of the Dr Pepper Museum. If you have time I highly recommend planning a visit to the museum and learning more about their history. Bonus, you get a free drink at the end!

8) Greetings from Waco

Greetings from Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: Colombus Ave at 8th St.

Tips: This was definitely the hardest mural to photograph that I didn’t even get a chance to! Every single time we drove by there were cars parked in front. Look up their business hours and try to visit at an off time! Photo by Waco Chamber.

9) Magnolia

Magnolia Silos Baking Co Waco Texas

Artist: Unknown

Location: Silos Baking Co at Magnolia Market

Tips: If you are planning on getting cupcakes, I highly recommend getting there 30 minutes to an hour before closing. The line will be much much shorter! After you get your goodies walk over to this mural! For more tips on visiting Magnolia click here. 

10) Lamp of the body

Eye Mural Waco

Artist: Joe Rooster

Location: 214 N 11 St

Tips: This colorful mural definitely caught our eye! Get it? It is located behind the building with plenty of parking nearby.

BONUS: Summer of downtown Chalk Murals

Waco Bingo Mural
Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: 101 S 7th Street

Tips: These murals are located in Downtown Waco and are part of the summer of downtown project. They had several murals but these two caught my eye the most. See if you can check off the Waco Bingo Card! Snap your picture then head over to the speakeasy next door called Undercroft!

Happy Mural Hunting!
