ABOUT ME
Hi there, friends! I’m Teresa Batey Allen. Welcome to my blog.
Southern Charm by TB is my passion project. It is an opportunity to try new things and to be creative every single day.
It began with my love of blogging and writing about saving money many years ago, which was one of my very first blogs,. I have always had a passion about supporting my local area, spotlighting local businesses and events for my community. This is where I decided to change what I write about and make it all about East Texas and beyond. I want to write about the people and places that make local communities unique.
On this blog you will find hidden gems from all over the East Texas area. That includes upcoming events, restaurant recommendations, places to shop small, and traveling tips from other places I may visit here in East Texas.
My goal is to support the local businesses and events that are the lifeblood of our culture in East Texas, and to visit new places around Texas and experience the local life wherever I go. I am so happy you found this blog, and I hope it helps you take the first few steps into your own new local adventure.
To stay up-to-date on my latest posts, follow Southern Charm by Teresa Batey on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
If you have recommendations for new places I should visit or you are interested in collaborating with me, email me at teresa@teresabatey.com
