Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Matthew Bennett, a 25-year-old mining equipment brokerage representative in Austin. We were able to afford a luxury trip for our 2nd anniversaryWe've been contemplating moving to California in the future, so I planned a trip to Los Angeles to celebrate our two-year wedding anniversary. It was our first luxury trip as a married couple, and we stayed in four-star hotels, rented a luxury car to drive, and enjoyed fine dining at upscale restaurants. Although we're paying significantly more in rent, it's worth every penny for the experiences we've had so far in Austin. AdvertisementWe have one other goal before we have kids: To open a coffee shop.

Sometimes events are simply fantasy themed, without reference to specific books or fantasy worlds. Dreams shattered.”She attributes the growing demand for fantasy events to the commercial success of fantasy romance books, especially among Millennial women. The past year has also seen a spike in the popularity of “romantasy,” or romance fantasy books. “You know, work dredges on for a lot of people,” said Brittany Proctor, a Michigan-based entrepreneur who’s been hosting fantasy balls in the Midwest since 2022. In fact, Proctor is considering scaling back some of her events due to the sheer number of these fantasy balls that have been cropping up in recent years.

I remember attending a Miss Del Rio pageant when I was young, but the first pageant I registered for was the Miss San Antonio Teen USA pageant in 2018. I knew I wanted to be Miss San Antonio USA one day, too. Later that year I competed again and ended up as a semifinalist in the Miss Texas Teen USA pageant.

☆ 'Million Dollar Listing' brokers say now is the time for luxury homebuyers to scoop up a deal. Here’s their advice for buyers and sellers.

The real-estate agents Tracy Tutor and Josh Flagg said now is the time for luxury homebuyers to act. Sellers must price their homes realistically, even if they are worth less than they were last year. Here's their advice for buyers and sellers in the luxury market. The Redfin study backs this up: New listings of luxury homes fell by 6.6% year over year. Price reductions aren't a bad thing in themselves, but Flagg said it's still typically a major turn off for luxury homebuyers — "even if it's a steal."
☆ I quit my job as a Southwest customer-service rep because I couldn't handle the holidays for another year. It's hell for everyone involved.

In a statement to Insider, Southwest said its full-time employee count surpassed prepandemic totals. Ironically, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day were among the most peaceful shifts I had as a Southwest customer-service representative. I've worked nearly 10 holiday seasons at SouthwestI quit several weeks before the start of the 2022 holiday season. The thing people forget is that customer-service employees have families, too. In fact, Southwest reached an industry-first milestone over the summer when our total, active, full-time equivalent Employee count surpassed the number of Southwest Employees from pre-pandemic 2019 totals.
☆ I tried Elon Musk's favorite Mexican restaurant in Austin to see what the big deal was. I left impressed and feeling like an A-lister.

Another dish Musk ordered was the chile en nogada, which currently isn't available on the menu. According to the restaurant's Instagram page, the dish is one of the most important meals in Mexico, as it contains the colors of the Mexican flag and is traditionally eaten on September 16 — Mexican Independence Day.

Dru Davis is an executive producer for "Monica," which aired at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. He got his start acting on kids shows and networked with casting directors to change roles. I was born and raised in Santa Monica, and my parents inspired me with their work on the executive and creative sides of Hollywood. From there, I went on to cast talent on shows like "The 100" on The CW, "UnREAL" on Lifetime, and "Altered Carbon" on Netflix. I established myself as a reliable executive producer on multiple projects, including "The Trial of the Chicago 7."

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Amanda Nelson, a 32-year-old influencer in Austin, Texas, about her job. However, there was that part of me that was yearning to travel, and I saw an opportunity to monetize travel-related content. I made a TikTok account and posted my first video in July 2020I was surprised by the lack of Texas travel content when I jumped from Instagram into the world of TikTok. There was a deeper issue there than simply wanting to get paid to travel to a glamorous destination. In August 2022, I made $9,500 on Amazon and nearly $1,000 on Shopify, which made it a $10,500 month.
☆ I do customer service at Southwest. I just want to help, but sometimes people get so mad police have to step in.

I would lose the seniority I'd earned working at the San Antonio call center, but to me, it was the right choice. The thing about Southwest Airline employees, or at least the ones I work with, is their dedication. If you ever fly into the San Antonio International Airport, the employees you interact with have likely been there for years. My go-to suggestion for customers at the San Antonio Airport is to utilize the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. It's only about an hour-and-15-minute drive from the San Antonio Airport.
