Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ozarka® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water. The opinions are all mine.
The Great state of Texas is known for how BIG it is and for how BRIGHT the stars are at night! There are endless amounts of activities to do in Texas. Texans are also known for their Southern hospitality and love of sweet tea and football!
When I think of Texas I think of:
The Houston Texans
The Houston Astros
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
Six Flags over Texas
NASA
BBQ
Sweet Tea
and….. Ozarka water ! This natural Spring Water comes from Springs located in TEXAS!
Some things I love about Texas would have to be:
- Sports! We have some great teams!
- Thrift and Antique Stores!! Plus there are some great local Markets to buy handmade goods and fresh food!
- Living in a city where it takes maybe an hour to get to really cool venues.
- Living near a Beach and some great lakes!
- There are great schools!
- The Southern hospitality!
I feel very privileged to teach my 1st graders about Texas History at my school! One of the three Springs Ozarka Water comes from is located in the PINEY WOODS! That is a major region I teach my students about. Now I can tell them that Ozarka Water comes from that part of Texas!
My kids and I decided to have an indoor picnic with the items that came in our custom curated Ozarka branded box! We could’ve taken these goodies outside but it was like 100 degrees in Houston that day!
I love how food and drinks can bring people together!! I absolutely love getting together with those I love while sharing a meal and talking!
I was SO excited when I opened the box full of goodies from brands made in TEXAS!!!!
The Jelly Queens is an award- winning , DALLAS and AUSTIN- based artisan company that makes gourmet jellies, spices, sauces, and more!
They use organic and, whenever possible, locally grown Texas ingredients!! How amazing!
This YellowBird Sauce is totally natural and made in Austin, Texas! This stuff goes great on just about anything from your tacos to your pasta!
These Paqui chips are “better for you” tortilla chips and have a great taste to them! They are made with untreated flour!
Snows BBQ was named BEST IN TEXAS by Texas Monthly magazine! If that doesn’t tell you something about this sauce then I don’t know what will! I am obsessed with BBQ sauce and require it on my BBQ and sausage! This particular brand is really tasty!
Taste Elevated mustard seeds adds a little something to your hot dogs or bbq sandwiches!
Queso is something I could eat daily!! That wouldn’t be the best idea though. If you are in need of it Cookwell & Company is your brand! This brand is located in Austin, Texas!
I love living in a state where I can buy and eat locally! Thank you Ozarka water for introducing these amazing products and local brands to me!
If you live in Texas I want to know why you love living here!

The beautiful blanket we had our picnic on is from Humble Weave
I love Ozarka water, too! I am from Arkansas, but literally cross into Texas almost daily! I am not sure if I could ever become a Texan, but I have enjoyed my fair share of traveling though it [including Houston]! Also, these products sound yummy that they sent you!

I’ve been to Austin twice and loved it. On my list of cities I would move to. 🙂
Oh we live in Texas and love it except for the terrible seasonal allergies! My little guy can only use California Baby products because of his eczema. The shampoo, the lotion, the sunscreen, we Love it all and cant use anything else because he will get a terrible rash or swelling allergic reaction. We are so grateful for California Baby products!
I would love to visit Texas. We like to travel so I’m sure we will one day.
I recently made the switch from Diet Coke to sparkling water and Ozarka is one of my faves. I didn’t even realize some of it comes from Piney Woods. That’s awesome 🙂
What a great post!! I LOVE Texas too! 🙂
I love this post! Being a Texan is pretty awesome and I’ll say I do love Ozarka!
I love everything about being a Texan as well! Even though I’m not from here originally, I got here as soon as I could! Cute post!
