Girl dinner = best birthday dinner
This week is my birthday, and fellow Christmas babies will understand—it can be a little tricky to carve out space to celebrate when the season is already so full. I managed to gather a few girlfriends for dinner at one of my favorite spots, Squable, and by pure luck it was oyster night (another favorite).
What meant the most wasn’t the dinner itself, but having everyone together—even the friends who could only pop in for a few minutes made the effort to show up. It was a sweet reminder that presence matters, and that showing up with whatever time or energy you have really does mean the world to your community.
This week’s feature reflects that same spirit—a mom and friend who took her passion for keeping her people healthy and built a thoughtful business that now supports the wellness of Houstonians (and families far beyond). I hope you enjoy getting to know her story as much as I did.

The Season’s Secret to Radiant Skin is 20% Off!
As the holidays approach and the year winds down, I’ve been craving simplicity—rituals that keep me grounded, radiant, and nourished from within. Cold weather and full schedules can leave skin dull or dehydrated, but this season my glow has stayed strong thanks to Pique’s Radiant Skin Duo. It’s an effortless inside-out ritual that supports skin, energy, and overall wellbeing.
Sun Goddess Matcha is my calming morning start—ceremonial-grade, rich in EGCG, and incredible for firming, brightening, and supporting gut balance.
B·T Fountain, my afternoon reset, is a clean beauty electrolyte powered by clinically proven ceramides that hydrate at a cellular level, reduce redness, and visibly plump skin—without sugar or fillers.
Together, they strengthen the skin barrier, support collagen, and deliver deep hydration for a glow that lasts. Clean, pure, and travel-friendly, it’s the easiest ritual to bring into the new year feeling luminous and renewed.
