Our mission to support and advocate for local businesses hasn't changed and we are committed to continue everyday! This months 7 loves includes ways in which you can give back to your community through the fingertips of your own home, try new recipes, and even a new podcast or two.

We want to thank all of the men and women who put themselves at risk every single day during this pandemic.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."  --Melody Beattie

Crisp morning breezes and cozier evenings are hopefully here to stay, but in the meantime, we’ve put together our #scouted October Loves to help inspire and invigorate your ideal autumn.  There’s already plenty taking place this museum month, but the crown jewel of the city’s celebrations will undoubtedly be the opening of San Antonio’s newest contemporary art center, Ruby City. Designed by world-renowned architect Sir David Adjaye OBE, this space will house the phenomenal collection of the late collector, philanthropist, and artist, Linda Pace. Don’t miss the Ribbon Cutting & Grand Opening happening Sunday, October 13th from 11AM - 6PM! 
October also means it’s National Emotional Wellness Month, so we figured what better way to practice some self-care than to treat yourself to a visit to Twirl Salon for an extra-long facial? And pick up a porcelain diffuser from Frosted Home to bring that sense (scent?) of serenity back home with you! Then snuggle up with your latest read in style and comfort in a chair all your own from Joyeux Home Decor.
