My friend Alex's Birthday is today and we decided to celebrate this past weekend since I'm out of town right now for a wedding. We decided to meet in San Marcos since it's the halfway point for us. Morgan is further south in Buda so it wasn't too far for her. I randomly went to yelp and searched for "Brunch in San Marcos, TX." Industry Restaurant was ranked #1! It had great reviews plus some awesome pictures of food and drinks. We decided to meet at Industry, and I'm so g

Who is ready for FIESTA?! I've actually never been to Fiesta in San Antonio. Some coworkers were chatting about it today at work and I felt so out of the loop. lol. I want to check out fiesta mainly for the food! I wonder if they'll be serving tacos this size?! It's Taco Tuesday so I need to get my fix.

Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! Why does it feel like the weekends just fly by? This past weekend was really fun though. I went to New Braunfels to visit 2 of my friends from Austin. It's the halfway point for all of us so it worked out perfect. Our plans were to meet for lunch and then attend a painting class from 3pm - 6pm at the Rustic Brush. The original plan was to meet for lunch in Gruene, TX but it was way too packed! We were nervous we were going to be pressed for t

Hi Friends! Welcome back to my blog. If you're new here, welcome and thanks for joining. Today I would like to open up more. One area I continue to struggle with is to be open and vulnerable, but I know it's the only way to make real connections and to be my most authentic self. A few years back (mostly college) I had a bad habit of thinking negatively. I'm constantly reminded by my timehop app which shows past facebook statuses/posts. Back then, I always seem to be compl

Hi All, Welcome back to the blog again! I haven't written anything since September of 2018, so Happy New Year! Hopefully your 2019 is off to a great start. Mine has been great so far. We've started on some house projects and I can't wait to see the changes take place! Who knows, maybe I'll feature some updates here on the blog?! Also, as of today I'm DEBT FREE so that's an awesome feeling! Now I can work on investing my money. Working towards being debt free was one of my

Hi Everyone! Hope your week is going well so far. Today on the blog I'm featuring this red off the shoulder dress with floral embroidery from XLR8. If you're familiar with the Austin, TX area then you've probably heard of Burnet, TX and Marble Falls, TX. They're both small towns just north west of Austin. XLR8 is a small boutique located in both of these towns. XLR8 now offers shopping online, so it's a great opportunity for all of you who are out of town to purchase some

Y'all, this extra pasty skin of mine needs some vitamin D stat! lol. Luckily the weather has been amazing here in Texas! It's been sunny with the highs in the 70's/80's, and a light breeze. I feel like being outside all day long! I'll have to try and catch some rays after work. ;-) Last weekend I worked a prom, (makeup and hair) and it was so much fun! This weekend I'm working another prom and I can't wait. I honestly think prom makeup is my favorite season/event to work.

Happy Spring Friends! This Texas weather has thrown me for a loop lately. It was 88 degrees Saturday and now it's back to cooler temps this week. (in the 60's) Also, are you struggling with the new time change?? I know I am! It usually takes me a couple of days to adjust. I put together the below dressy/casual outfit that's perfect for spring and the cooler temps. All of the links are at the bottom of this post! This mustard yellow top from Shein has become one of my new

I've been wanting to write this post for a long time now. The timing never felt right until recently. You hear the word "Divorce" and your mind immediately goes to the worst. (at least mine did a few years ago) However, I invite you to set aside any judgments, beliefs, or ideas you may have about the topic that might get in the way of what you will receive from this today. In the last month I've witnessed two people on Facebook post about relationships. Both of these people

Texas weather is fun to dress for. It's 55/60 degrees in the morning and by noon it's 80 degrees and you're sweating in your sweater. However, the high today is 63 degrees so I'm doing a happy dance over here! This sweater is soooo soft and comfy! I seriously want to take the material and make a blanket and pillows out of it. I purchased this from Red Dress Boutique and the link is below. Today I'm working on some Halloween makeup looks for the blog, and my costume for a pa

Hi Everyone! I hope your week is going well. My week has been going smooth so far. I'm actually headed to a blogger event tonight hosted by my friend Jesse Coulter. Jesse and I grew up together, and now we're actually coworkers! Amazing how life works out that way. Jesse is a lifestyle blogger, so definitely check out her blog for Mommy tips, DIY projects, fashion tips, and more. She also has a YouTube channel which you can find here. She's one of the funniest people I kn

Well hello there. Thanks for stopping by! Today is beautiful, sunny, and 71 degrees in Austin. I really wish we had more weather like this. Praying that it stays like this for a while. My coworker + friend and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather by going to lunch at the Oasis. This restaurant is located off of Lake Travis, and has one of the best views in Austin. We also took advantage of the backgrounds to snag a few outfit pictures. ;) This hot pink wa
