When a friend of ours invited us to a supper club, we really had no idea what to expect. Do we need some kind of membership card? Is it held in some super secret location? What and when exactly is ‘supper’? And most importantly, will there be wine? The answers to these first-timer questions are […]
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Have you shopped for mom yet? If you’re like me and the thought of another scented candle or flowers just doesn’t show enough appreciation, then this little list is for you. The older I’ve become the more I just want to spend time with my mom. Creating a […]
It has been a WEEK! Every Friday I get out my biggest coffee mug and reward myself for completing another 5 days and still be standing. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but you know the feeling when you get to Friday and you feel like you can breathe in and just sigh a little […]
If April showers bring May flowers then I’m certainly ready for next month with this garden party edit. Unfortunately, I do not have a green thumb and have killed my fair share of plants. But one thing I have no trouble with for some unexplained reason are roses, and right now they are putting out […]
“Wine always tastes best under the sun that ripened the grapes.” No other statement could characterize the vibe better at the Texas Wine Revolution held this past Sunday at Horseshoe Bay Resort. The third annual non-profit festival showcased 49 of Texas’ best rosés and celebrated the beauty of 100% Texas grown wines. I was thrilled […]
One of the big questions I get often is, How do you balance blogging and working a full time a job? Well, I might not always have it together where that’s concerned but one thing that does help is having an organized bag of essentials that help me bounce from office to blog and back […]
My idea of the perfect girls’ weekend involves getting as comfortable as possible, finding a great patio and sipping on my favorite wines while catching up with the ladies I love most. This past weekend I hosted my three closest friends from Houston. Well, technically one lives in New Braunfels now and another might be […]
It feels like I just posted my last Friday favorites list and here we are at Friday again. Happy Friday the 13th! Does that date weird you out? I’ve never really paid much attention to it. The weather this week has been simply amazing. Spring in Texas is my favorite time of year where all […]
If you’ve been living under a social media rock lately, then you’ve missed out on one of the greatest home collections ever to hit shelves at Target. It’s called Opalhouse and trust me when I say that you’ll want ev-er-y-thing! There are three main collections – Indochic, Canyon Sunrise, and Mallorca. Each collection has a […]
Ah, the Texas Tuxedo. Go ahead, Google it. I’ll wait. Now that you’ve had your laughs, there are ways to pull off the denim-on-denim trend without reincarnating that infamous Justin and Britney coordinated look. You know the one. Well fear not, blue jean babes. Thankfully, there are many ways to wear your favorite denim pieces […]
TGIF, everyone! I’m thinking about bringing back my Friday Favorites series starting today. There’s just too much goodness out there not to share with you! I also like sharing my photography, and being that summer feels closer and closer, I’ve been looking at my favorite pics from our trip to the South of France. This […]
Like just about every other woman on the planet, I’ve tried a lot of skincare products. I mean, A…LOT! My routine has morphed from my teenage years of treating breakouts (although let’s not kid ourselves, that’s still an issue sometimes) to maintaining a youthful appearance (*ahem* not that someone who is perpetually 25 needs to […]
It’s a little hard for me to believe that March is basically over. Is it just me, or did it go by even faster than February, a month that is shorter by a whole 3 days? That being said, I’m pretty excited to be going into Easter weekend! We are spending a couple of days […]
So many spring trends, so little time! However, I have no problem jumping onto the jumpsuit trend this year. My style changes almost daily depending on my mood. But I have always appreciated vintage or retro trends that find their way back onto the magazine pages with the same fervor they once did, albeit updated. […]
Throwing birthday parties for your pets might seem strange to those who aren’t pawrents, but for those of us who cherish our little fur babies, celebrating their birthdays is just something we do. Right? Ok, if you’re not doing this already then allow me to explain why you should. This month, our precious Bella turned […]
Hi, friends! Spring break is winding down but spring is definitely here. All of a sudden the grass has become greener and our trees and plants seemingly bloomed overnight. I love seeing things come back to life like that, don’t you? We had a fun weekend with friends attending a local supper club (more on […]
Avocado toast, or avo toast as hip foodies (a.k.a. people cooler than me) refer to it, is nothing new but it’s a staple in my house. I love having it for breakfast at least twice a week. I grew up with an early love of avocados because of my grandparents. I can remember a cup […]
Even though we lose an hour of sleep for one night, I really like having longer days where the sun doesn’t disappear quite so soon. I have really been indulging in the gorgeous spring weather we’ve had lately here in San Antonio. Chilly mornings give way to beautiful blue skied afternoons and comfortable temps (Texas […]
Happy International Women’s Day! I was approached by my friend Aquila Mendez-Valdez, the beautiful brains behind Haute in Texas, to see if I might be interested in sharing my story for International Women’s Day. At first, I wasn’t sure what my story would be. I’m but one of billions of women around the globe and there […]
This winter has been especially hard on my skin and hair. I’m working on a current skincare routine post for you, but today I want to share how I’ve been repairing my winter-damaged hair with Virtue haircare products. I received a set of travel size products from Virtue via my beautiful blogging friend, Summer (definitely […]
