Lake Travis Local: Meet Karen Killough of Oh Baby! Fitness Austin

Written by Todd Hower | February 5, 2015

Oh Baby! Fitness is a 10 year overnight success that launched with discussions around a dinner table. The company that started back in 2005 decided to break the mold of the traditional brick-and-mortar gym franchise model and go with a training, licensing and Internet support model.

Oh Baby! Fitness has quickly expanded into 15 states — which includes Texas — and has hopes of offering classes in all 50 states by the end of 2015.

Lake Travis Lifestyle had a chance to catch up with Karen Killough, a Lakeway instructor and owner of the Austin branch of Oh Baby! Fitness. We sat down to learn a few things about Karen and how Oh Baby! Fitness got started, what it’s like doing business in a community like Lake Travis, and what advice she has for others who have an idea they want to float into the entrepreneurial waters of our great town.

Cuvée Coffee in Spicewood: Sustainable Coffee Roasted in Our Own Backyard

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 26, 2015

Caffeine addicts consider this: Have you ever tasted coffee roasted so close to you, you can practically smell it from your home?

Coffee drinkers may already appreciate the subtle and rich flavors of Cuvée Black & Blue, the cold coffee drink that is served nitrogenated and straight from the keg. These tempting taps can be found all around Austin and the Lake Travis area. And Cuvée now offers nitrogenated cans for take-home caffeine concoctions worth trying. They make some clean and mean coffee, too, as their East Sixth St. coffee shop can boast.

The whole operation, from roasting to packaging takes place in our own backyard in Lake Travis. Their facility out in Spicewood is where all of the magic happens, and where I got to take a peek into their whole process firsthand.

Lake Travis Local: Meet Interior Designer Jenny Cokins

Written by Cathy Hale | January 14, 2015

We all know interior design is big business, but it’s also an art that requires planning, creativity, an appreciation and understanding for function and space — not to mention lots of fine-tuning.

My first real brush with the world of interior design occurred when our home was featured on an HGTV show in 2011 and our celebrity designer was Tom Filicia. Per usual for a reality show, we weren’t allowed to give our input or see what was actually happening in our house. When the final reveal took place, I could not contain my emotions. The transformation was unbelievable!

If you’re seeking a transformation of your own this year, you’ll be happy to meet a Lake Travis resident who makes that kind of “magic” happen, Jenny Cokins.

Lake Travis Local: Meet Celeb Style Guru Heather Campbell-Green

Written by Cathy Hale | December 16, 2014

Did you know the “original” (as in first-ever!) Celebrity Style Guide was created right here in Lake Travis?

Well, it was. Thanks to Steiner Ranch resident Heather Campbell-Green’s love of the TV show Friends and her friendship with the show’s costume designer, she was inspired to help fashionistas everywhere replicate popular celeb styles. And let’s be honest, didn’t everyone want Rachel’s haircut?

Celebrity Style Guide, an online publication, was founded in 2005 and instantly appeared on the radar for fashion gurus across the globe as the go-to spot for the accurate identification of hottest designer clothes, accessories, trends and beauty products you see on your favorite television shows, movies and celebrities.

Heather’s love of celeb style was contagious and style editors flocked to her website for her fresh content. Heather’s site has been featured as one of the top 10 “must visit” websites by People StyleWatch and she has been mentioned on ABC News and in magazines like US Weekly and InStyle.
