Love it or hate it, makeup is a fact of life for most women. Call it a cruel reality of the patriarchy or a fun way to improve your appearance, most of us have to at least apply a little foundation and eyeliner to be taken seriously as grown-ass, adult…
We have a precious few weeks before the craziness of the holiday season really kicks into full gear, which means that you’re going to need to get in as much culture as you can before you’re inundated with reindeer and mediocre holiday music. Now that Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast-approaching,…
Downtown McKinney hasn’t been known as a place for culinary excellence, but that’s about to change. With the arrival of restaurants such as Sugarbacon and the Dallas dining scene’s ever present moves north, soon we will all start hauling up Central Expressway for an interesting dinner. But why wait? Patina…
As music snobs well know, music awards shows generally don’t do the best at showcasing a genre’s most promising talent. If anything, they’re prone to rewarding the same boring, mainstream pap that makes record executives millions of dollars every single year. This year’s CMA Awards, though, looked particularly promising. Among…
Most of the time, we tend to think about the foods that are good for us as things that we “have” to eat. It isn’t often that you get an insatiable craving for a big bundle of kale or some chia seeds, which means that eating healthy sometimes feels like…
In theory, macaroni and cheese is a wonderful dish. The combination of cheese and noodles is pretty much foolproof, or at least that’s what one would think. As a result, this classic Southern favorite that permeated the potlucks and holiday dinners of our youth now exists on most restaurant menus…
More than a week after “Back to the Future Day,” when Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled to October 21, 2015 in Back to the Future Part II, Bob Moseley is still getting calls about his custom-built DeLorean Time Machines. Perhaps you’ve seen them at car shows or on Moseley’s…
The Halloween festivities are over, and Sunday was just not enough time to recover from all that drinking that you’re doing. You’ll probably need the next couple of days to rest up, drink fluids, and repair all the damage you’ve caused to your personal property and relationships during your evening…
Halloween is fast approaching, which means that those of us who majored in procrastination in college are probably seriously freaking out. Even if you’re planning a low-key celebration with friends for this spooky holiday, you’re still going to need a costume. It’s easy enough to strap on some animal ears…
You’ve got to give it up for Aaron Watson. Throughout his long and storied career as a Texas country chart topper, he’s always managed to stay true to himself. Standing in stark contrast to Texas country’s rowdier, more party-driven elements, Watson has carved himself out a unique niche. In the…
Thanks to the switch to standard time, this year Halloween is an hour longer, which means you’ll have a full 60 minutes to pound in extra booze while you’re dressed like a sexy cat or sexy Walter White or whatever sexy costume you’ve chosen. That mean you’re going to need…
Ten years ago, it would have been pretty unthinkable that one of Dallas’ most promising new restaurants would have been in…Flower Mound? The progression of fine dining and upscale casual food has firmly made its way to even the most outer suburbs, but you can still call Ray Skradzinski a…
Every season on The Voice, it always seems like there is plenty of talent from Dallas and the surrounding areas. We’d like to think that’s because people who live here are just better at singing than everyone else, but that’s probably not true. This season, as Guidelive notes, three of…
You’ve been to Super H Mart probably a million times, right? The allure of an exotic Asian market with interesting produce and strange things made out of fish is impossible for the adventurous to pass up. Maybe you’ve also gotten into going to the Korean spa, which inevitably leads one…
It’s been a long time since the Dixie Chicks have made headlines in country music, but maybe that’s because they got tired of all that attention. You might recall a teeny-tiny, pretty minor little incident where Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines criticized then-President George W. Bush while performing in London,…
It’s Halloween week, which means doing a lot of drinking in a skimpy costume. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that – Halloween is a sacred American tradition – but that doesn’t mean that you have to rot your brain along with your teeth. You can watch plenty of scary…
Chris Stapleton With Quaker City Night Hawks Gas Monkey Live, Dallas Thursday, October 22, 2015 Country music is in a strange state of transition. As Luke Bryan sits at the top of the charts, a new crop of refreshing artists are repeating country’s classic sound in a modern way. For…
Right now, there’s really no better place to sit on a patio and drink than Spork, the Sonic Drive-In turned chef-driven casual restaurant. The weather right now is excellent at night, the strings of white lights and Sonic-chic neons add kitsch, and if you go late enough, you can avoid…
Dallas’ pizza scene is light-years ahead of where it was just a few years ago. The addition of Zoli’s, Zalat and Cane Rosso finally means that Dallasites (and transplants from places with actual pizza) can enjoy a decent slice that doesn’t make them want to hop the next plane to…
In the past few years, the Dallas music scene has been fortunate enough to watch some of its brightest stars take their rightful place in the national music conversation. The success of St. Vincent and Leon Bridges has shined a light on a scene that has long been better than…
Ah, Halloween. That time of the year when grown-ass adults lose their natural minds and engage in activities that they would normally eschew, like eating disgusting confections (looking at you, candy corn) and drink fruity, Everclear-spiked punch until they forget their names. Worst of all, though, are the legions of…
It’s pretty clear that the Dallas Cowboys season is going to be a real stinker, but that doesn’t mean most of us won’t keep watching them play. We’re just going to suffer. Luckily, CBD Provisions is providing some pretty swank eating options to help you forget what’s happening on the…
