🌵 What’s the story behind your nickname?

They call us Texas Life—because everything we do is rooted in the spirit of the Lone Star State.

It started as a way to capture the feeling of living here: sunny afternoons, porch talks, creative energy, and a whole lot of heart.

It’s not just a name, it’s a lifestyle—laid-back, bold, and full of stories worth sharing.

Because in Texas, life isn’t rushed. It’s lived. 🤠❤️

We love good design, good stories, and good coffee—especially when shared with good people.

If you’re into slow mornings, bold ideas, and finding beauty in your surroundings, you’ll feel right at home here. 🤠☕

🌵 How would you describe yourself to someone?

We’re a little bit southern charm, a little bit modern hustle.

Texas Life is about slow mornings with good coffee, open skies, creative work, and finding joy in the everyday.

We celebrate the unique rhythm of life in Texas—where community, creativity, and a strong sense of place all come together.

Basically? Warm-hearted, hardworking, and always ready to welcome you in. 🤠✨

What do you listen to while you work?

🎧 What do you listen to while you work?

At Texas Life, it depends on the mood and the project!

Some days it’s upbeat indie to keep the energy high, other days it’s Texas country classics for that Southern comfort. And when deep focus is needed—lofi beats or instrumental jazz never fail.

Because in Texas, even your playlist has personality. 🤠🎶

What foods would you like to make?

We’re all about bold flavors and comfort food with a Texan twist! We’d love to make:

🌮 Street-style breakfast tacos with fresh salsa

🥩 Slow-cooked BBQ beef ribs (Texas-style, of course!)

🍞 Jalapeño cornbread fresh from the oven

🍑 Peach cobbler using juicy Texas Hill Country peaches

🌯 And for fun—homemade brisket burritos with smoky chipotle sauce!

Y’all hungry yet? 😋 Let’s get cookin’!

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

At Texas Life, we believe comfort starts with the little things. From keeping our living spaces clutter-free and cozy, to taking breaks outside to enjoy the Texas sun—even for just a few minutes—it all adds up. We also stick to simple routines: morning coffee, staying hydrated, and keeping in touch with family and friends. Whether it’s lighting a favorite candle, playing soft music while working, or planning weekend getaways across the Lone Star State, we prioritize small joys that make everyday life more peaceful.

What makes a teacher great?

A great teacher inspires curiosity, makes learning feel meaningful, and genuinely cares about their students’ growth. They adapt to different learning styles, create a supportive environment, and encourage students to think critically — not just memorize. What truly sets them apart is their ability to connect, listen, and leave a lasting impact beyond the classroom.

How do you express your gratitude?

I try to express my gratitude through small, meaningful actions — a sincere thank you, a thoughtful message, or offering help in return. I believe showing appreciation in everyday moments helps build stronger, more positive connections with others.

What are you most worried about for the future?

I’m most worried about climate change. It’s already affecting the planet in serious ways — rising temperatures, extreme weather, melting ice, and sea level rise are just the beginning. It threatens our food and water security, damages ecosystems, and puts millions at risk of displacement. While there are promising solutions like renewable energy and global cooperation, I’m concerned that action might not come fast enough.

Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

Absolutely—sustainability starts in the small, everyday choices.

Each morning, I open the windows before turning on the AC. I keep a reusable water bottle by my side (decorated with Texas-themed stickers, of course), and I’ve gotten pretty good at saying no to single-use plastics—straws, bags, packaging.

We compost veggie scraps, repurpose jars into organizers, and shop local when we can—farmers’ markets are not just more sustainable, they’re more fun too.

I also make a conscious effort to design and create with less waste: digital first, minimal printing, and always rethinking before reordering.

Raising a little one has made me even more aware—because every small action today adds up to the world she’ll grow up in tomorrow. ♻️🌎
