Meet July’s Woman of the Month, Lynsie Blau. Fro

Meet July’s Woman of the Month, Lynsie Blau. From rustic to glam, she uses the lessons of her past to run a beautiful event venue here in town. Both @brikvenue and @the_ostreum are often populated with glowing married couples as well as the hustle and bustle of big events.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This gorgeously tall boss lady could talk all things ‘venue” all day long. Outside of basketball, one of her first jobs after college was as an assistant wedding planner. “I remember going to all of these amazing venues and instinctively noting the features I liked and didn’t like,” Lynsie recalls.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much that goes into running a successful venue - it is not just fancy chandeliers and plenty of parking. This owner works hard to make every day perfect for her couples’ "big day”. From brides to local vendors here in Fort Worth, it is very well known that Lynsie is not only one of the best, but one of the most reliable when it comes to the perfect event in her space. When you work with Lynsie you are not part of the masses – she knows your name, sees your vision, genuinely wants your day to be exactly what you’ve always dreamed of, and uses her space to make it happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BRIK hosts about 120 wedding and corporate events each year. “Opening BRIK helped me find my entrepreneurial spirit and since then I have opened another venue, The Ostreum, and have two other start-ups in the works,” Lynsie said.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lynsie’s favorite thing about Fort Worth is the big city yet small town feel. “When I moved to Fort Worth, I knew this was where I wanted to be. I believe it is one of the main reasons I went forward with establishing a business here.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Original is the word Lynsie uses to describe her impact on Fort Worth. When Lynsie opened BRIK, it was one of the first few businesses located off South Main in the Near Southside. “We have been credited as one of the businesses that saw the potential of the area before it formed."

The sun is shining extra bright on @shopbirdiefw’s biggest sale of the year!

Y’all I got here right as they opened and there was already a group here...grab your mask and come snag some (socially distanced) deals! They’re open until 6pm and the sale runs until July 11th!

The pandemic has hit a whole new level and has brought some pretty creative new ways of life...

When we first bought our house my anxiety about the new pool shot through the roof!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With summer comes the need for water safety and @the_emergency_center has spent their day today showcasing a few reminders that I took to heart. USCG-approved life jackets, appropriate supervision, and knowing the symptoms of dangerous water-related health conditions can truly save lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many of y'all have messaged me in times of crisis asking "what's that emergency doctor office nearby that you always talk about?!" Open 24/7, TEC has safely served many of you and will continue to do so in the future, no matter the crisis. So for now, I'll breathe easy, follow their guidelines, and let the girl do her cannonballs - especially before more rain arrives. 😃

This man never ceases to amaze me.

He’s reading a book my Grandpa gifted him a decade ago...and he uses my Grandma and Grandpa’s card, in pristine condition, as his book mark - just like they would have.

I am so grateful for a man who has made such a difference in my family and who has been adored for who he is. (And it’s ten times better that he appreciates it back...even in his own quiet way.🥰)

Happy Fourth of July you guys!!! From our family

Happy Fourth of July you guys!!!

From our family to yours I hope your day is full of family time, water fun, fried chicken, fireworks, and sno-cones because ours is and we’re LOVING IT!

Red, white, and @bluequailclothingco!

Every time I put these two babes in (locally designed) Blue Quail clothing I rest easy know that they’re comfortable, protected from the sun (UPF50 projection), and they can make a mess because their newest line comes out of the dryer just. like. this.

Being out and about sure feels different these days but I'm all about only wearing eye makeup because my @alanakayart mask covers the rest! 💁🏼‍♀️

Also - this mask is genuinely my favorite because it’s breathable, easy to wash, and has an adjustable bridge at the nose (which if you know me...you know I NEED that. I have a thing about my nose being touched.)

Thank heavens @meyerandsage took care of dinner for me this evening because I feel like we are now on Level 6 of Jumanji 2020.

There's not even rules any more.

Bitty wears a beanie despite the fact that it feels like a sweaty armpit outside.
Murder hornets.
I didn't even try to hide my bluetooth camera remote in this picture.
African Dust.
My tiny guy “took a nap" upstairs while also simultaneously singing Baby Shark at the top of his lungs.

But hey.
Dinner is organic, fresh, homemade, and delicious.
And I didn't have to make it.
I call that a win.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also want to include because I always get messages about this - we are trying @meyerandsage’s French Bistro Spinach Salad, Cheddar & Chive Mashed Potatoes, and PRIME Bistro Steak with Bleu Cheese Butter + Tomatoes Bruschetta.
