By Dedrion Weweh Blog Content Contributor When I moved from Austin to San Marcos two years ago, I was very apprehensive about transitioning from a city that holds the title of “Live Music Capital of the World”, to somewhere I knew almost nothing about. Being someone who is completely music-oriented and would die for the arts, I could not help but wonder what the local music scene in San Marcos […]
By Dedrion Weweh Blog Content Contributor Who knew the outdoors could be the elixir of life? I lose myself whenever I am cast into a bund of forest area. Yet I find myself again, but much more gathered and with a deeper sense of mental clarity.

From freeform/neglect to backcombing and twisting, dreads can be produced and maintained via various different methods.

By Dedrion Weweh Blog Content Contributor When I received my first pet, I was 18 years old with a minimal interactive upbringing involving animals. Little did I know, they also become members of the family. College facilitates pet-ownership and San Marcos is a conducive area for animal enthusiasts with a deeply embedded community.
