Austin, TX: A One Day Getaway to SXSW

by adminupdated on July 17, 2018March 17, 2017

Returning home usually means I’m in recovery mode. And when I mean recovery mode, I….would be wiped out from all the adventures outside the parameters of my country, needless to say. I’ll be a complete hermit, going home straight from work as I stay in, watch Netflix with a mud mask, and scope out the …

Tips on Performance Outfits + Super Bowl LI Recap

by adminupdated on June 28, 2018March 7, 2017

Early this year, I was able to experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sing for the Houston Live Exhibition for the Super Bowl Festival, a 10-day downtown fest that leads up to Super Bowl Sunday. Although I mostly share my travel and fashion endeavors on this blog, what most people may not know is that I …

Five years in this city, and it still surprises me Five years in this city, and it still surprises me every day. 🌆 

New York took a girl from Houston, Texas and gave her a whole new life - friends who became family, sidewalks that became memories, a skyline I never get tired of looking up at. 

Here’s to the version of me who took the leap, and everything this city taught her along the way.

Full reflection is up on the blog now at www.reesarei.com, link in bio! 📖✨

In honor of the Knicks parade happening today 🧡💙 In honor of the Knicks parade happening today 🧡💙 

I had to share this special moment✨This city has a way of making you feel like you belong, and watching the Knicks win felt like one of those full-circle New York moments. I came here a Texas girl who didn’t know a single thing about basketball, and somehow this team converted me into a fan for life 🏀 @nyknicks

Summer is HERE and I cannot believe how fast this Summer is HERE and I cannot believe how fast this season is flying 🌸 My girls and I kicked off the season with a whimsical-themed picnic: macarons, a dreamy pink cake, fruit salad, all the snacks, and my favorite people by my side. Honestly, the universe really said this is how summer begins and I am not complaining one bit 🧺🌷 

There may or may not be a life update coming soon but for now just know that this day was everything and more ✨ Here’s to long sunny days, good food, and even better company ☀️ 

Shoutout to @lydi.lsn @nunuhomestudio @progress07 @carissacristobal @kpamulya @thealiceli @anniehua for making this pretty picnic party come to light ☀️

I’ve been wearing @fankaofficial compression set on my runs lately as I prep for my next race event, and honestly…it’s a game changer. The body sculpting and compression tech actually makes you feel supported and held in all the right places while you’re moving. 

Running to Roosevelt Island in this all-pink set felt like a whole vibe. If you’re looking for activewear that works as hard as you do, Fanka is it!
