Written by Tanner Hower | January 13, 2014

Submitted for our Just For Kids section by 7 year old Lake Travis area local, Tanner Hower.

Oh hello, I’m Tanner. Today I’m writing about Lonestar Soccer Club. It’s a great soccer club to go to when you move up from Neighborhood Sports. When your 10 or older you go to Select. Any age younger, you go to Acedamey.

The diffrence between Neighborhood Sports and Lonestar is Lonestar is 7 or older all boys or all girls. Neighborhood is any age all boys or girls. Another diffrence is Neighborhood has 3 players at a time. Lonestar has 6 and 9 players. The third diffrence is Neighborhood is no golies. Lonestar there are golies.

Best Coffee Shops in the Lake Travis Area for Getting Work Done

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 8, 2014

When you need to get some heavy work done but your home office is too distracting, sometimes venturing out into the spaces that others use for productive time is the best answer. It’s a secret I learned in college that stayed with me throughout the years—go to where great minds are brewing and you will be in a better mood to power through your own piles of work.

For some reason, cafes and coffee shops seem to dominate my list of productive meet-up spots. But over the years, I have narrowed down the necessities vital to assisting in an effective work session.

In addition to energizing beverages and light snacks needed for powering brains for several hours, one can never have enough table space or power outlets. Trust me. When your laptop is teetering on the edge of an economics book and your third latte just arrived, you’re going to wish you had snagged that 4 person table.

Atmosphere can make or break a meet-up spot. If the tunes are too caustic, the crowds too loud, you cannot read, let alone work for hours. That’s why it helps if there is some quiet (or at least some decent music) to drown out the sounds of espresso machines and drinks clanking.

So here they are, the best coffee shops in the Lake Travis area for getting productive and getting work done.

Fab’rik: Keeping Lake Travis Fashionistas Stylish

Written by Cathy Hale | January 7, 2014

You could say Fab’rik is a popular national franchise with a huge local presence. From the pages of Austin Monthly to the catwalks at local fashion shows and galas, looks from Fab’rik can be spotted all over Austin including the Lake Travis area. Since the Hill Country Galleria opened its doors, Lake Travis fashionistas have enjoyed shopping at Fab’rik. This boutique offers everything a gal needs from the perfect cocktail dress for a night on the town to cute threads for a laid back weekend.

One of the great things about shopping at Fab’rik is the lack of sticker shock. You may have seen it on the runway, but you won’t be paying runway prices. Part of the concept of Fab’rik is offering stylish clothes under $100, except items in their denim collection. (But hey, any Citizens of Humanity enthusiast understands that, right!?)

If you see the perfect silky blouse in that amazing emerald green color or the to-die-for peplum top you’ve just gotta have, get it while it lasts. Fab’rik offers a great selection of items, but once it’s gone, it’s gone. This is good news for shoppers because chances are you won’t see every gal in Lake Travis wearing the exact same piece. Fab’rik can help you build a wardrobe within your price range and that wardrobe will be unique. If you need a little bit of help finding the right fit or the best way to buy functional pieces, Fab’rik offers stylist services as well.
