We at Tim the Girl are always thrilled to see the eclectic, colorful arrangements created by Madly & Love owner and lead floral designer, Hannah Flores. A childhood growing up on a country farm gave her a love of wild flowers, and after a courtship of learning to arrange blooms her than-boyfriend Justin brought her, she DIYed the florals at her own wedding and hasn't quit since.

When the weather gets dreary and unpredictable like this, my mind goes back to Italy. A few summers ago, my friend Bianca (of Italian Fix) and I took a blissful two weeks wandering through Sardinia. I had been once before for a short trip and fell in love with the relaxed style. If you avoid the resort areas, it’s like going back in time.

TRA welcomes new member Tim the Girl - a multi-disciplinary company changing the face of the culinary scene in San Antonio. Founded in 2011 by owner Tim McDiarmid, she and her team source the best produce, meats and artisanal foods that San Antonio has to offer, translating them into dishes that are not only delicious, but aesthetically stunning.

If you’re a Central Texas foodie, then odds are good you’ve heard of Chef Tim McDiarmid (a.k.a. “Tim the Girl”). She’s known for serving up delicious, healthy food with flair.

Tim McDiarmid’s culinary business is a multifaceted, expansive enterprise that takes on the audacious challenge of getting her clientele to rethink everything they think they know about food and food culture. This audacious concept of thinking about food as a relational, interactive, performative and aesthetic experience is the brainchild of a bright, introspective woman who has never, ever been content to lead the cookie-cutter sort of life.

Vegetables take on a sultry, irresistible look when in the hands of our next two subjects and it's easy to see why. Whether they're expounding the virtues of clean, vegan eating or rethinking the way veggies are presented in meat-loving South Texas, Tim "the Girl" McDiarmid and Rebecca Marie "Rebel Mariposa" Lopez are slowly, but surely elevating local produce by the caseload.
