On the hunt for a luxe pool? Try using Resort Pass, a tool where you can find day passes to hotel pools across Fort Worth. We’re eyeing a private cabana at the Omni Hotel.

It looks like Texans believe in the power of chia seeds. That’s the most popular superfood in the state, based on Google search data compiled by Eachnight. If you want to buy some or see what other goodies are growing near Fort Worth, head to a local farmers market.

When I worked in an office, I would run to Kroger on my lunch break every Wednesday for the $6 sushi special (real fans will remember when it was $5). Kroger sushi is actually decent + it cures my frequent craving for sushi without hurting my wallet.
