WHO would you go with /// Anybody, there is something for everyone, even your friends who don't drink. I would even come alone because the bartenders are awesome and there is always someone sitting at the bar to strike up a conversation with. Lately I have been trying to do things that scare me and going up talking to strangers is one of those things. I challenge you to go somewhere alone and start a conversation with someone. 

WHAT to order /// THE HOLY MOTHER IS MY FAV!!! I'm not a cocktail person but I am obsessed with this drink, its spicy and perfect. I love their coffee drinks for mornings or mid day but this time when I arrived I had already had 4 cups of coffee so we ordered Virgin Bloody Mary's and Topo Chicos. No I am not preggo I just didn't want to day drink. 

WHEN /// You can seriously come here morning, mid day, happy hour, or late night! If you get hungry walk across the street to Tacos a Go Go!

WHERE /// Double Trouble is located Downtown Houston on 3622 Main St. 

WHY /// Sometimes it's hard to get work done when your at home so this is a perfect place to go sit and work on your computer while drinking coffee and creative concoctions virgin or with alcohol. Need to meet up with a friend? First date? Drinks before a show at Continental club? Just come check it out it's awesome. (rooftop photos not at Double Trouble)

HAIR TO /// Braid Cross Tuck

My Co- worker Lindsey and I decided that we needed to do a summer hair tutorial for y'all. This summer is all about getting that hair off your neck and back. I mean we live in Houston and we all know its like walking around in the sauna all day. The last thing we want is to feel sweaty hair on our skin. This Braid Cross Tuck is perfect for everyday hair. I am a fan of doing this when my day is full and I don't have a lot of time to keep up with my hair. So right when I wake up I'll fix my hair and  go to the gym. After when it's all sweaty I just blow it dry or let it air out, spray some dry shampoo, and go to work. When work is over and I'm in a rush to get to happy hour my hair is perfect and doesn't need sprucing up. The messier the better.

2. Pour powder puff to rough up braids

3. Cross braid over to opposite side of part and pin. Do again with other braid.

4. Tuck the ends of hair underneath braids and pin.

5. Rough up braids by pulling them apart gently.
