With Spring here and summer just around the corner, tassels have become a major trend this season. I love everything tasselled. They are the perfect accessory to complete your boho chic look. Tassels and monograms, two of my favorite things and even better when they’re together. When MarleyLilly sent me this beautiful tassel clutch I was beyond thrilled to pair it up with these fun monogrammed tassel earrings. Continue reading “Trendy Tassel Accessories for the Summer”
This weekend my hubby and I had the privileged to stay the night at the new Westin in the Woodlands. We were so excited to have a little weekend getaway from home and have some much-needed adult time to ourselves. I loved the area, because we were still only an hour away from home and from our little guy. Plus the hotel is brand new and next to all the latest restaurants, bars, and shopping, we could walk anywhere.
Last month I had my very first facial massage at Massage Envy thanks to my wonderful husband. I enjoyed it very much, but it was an eye opener that I needed to take better care of my skin. Since I was in high school I’ve had the same skincare regiment. I’m pretty low maintenance, I wash my face in the morning and before bed and moisturize after washing, and yes with the same products I’ve been using since high school. But thankfully I have realized as I’ve gotten older my skin has changed too, and though I am pretty fortunate to have been blessed with pretty good skin, my worries are no longer about acne and pimples, but about fine lines and wrinkles. Here are some anti-aging tips for younger looking skin:

I know it may sound superficial, but when you are a mom, it is really important to do things for yourself and just for yourself. Blogging has given me a voice and a creative outlet to pursue my passions. It is something I do for me. Continue reading “Spring Forward”
This past week was a challenging time for me and my husband as parents. Our little guy got his first ear infection and gave us a scare when his fever was over 104 degrees! We rushed to the ER only to find out it was a common thing for children his age, and not as life threatening matter as we had feared. Apparently we weren’t giving Jayden the right dosage of Tylenol to break his fever, and were only giving half of the recommended dosage. I think one of the most frustrating things about being a first time parent is learning what and what not to freak out over, and even more stressful when both parents don’t agree.

Woot! Woot! Time to Rodeo! Growing up in Texas, and in the Houston area the Rodeo has always been one of my favorite times of the year. I love the concerts, getting to dress up in my favorite boots, and most importantly the food! Fun fact, ever since I was in elementary school, I would go to the Rodeo because my art work would win best of show in my school. The Rodeo does some amazing scholarships for kids, and I love how they support the arts at such a young age.
