It has been a really long (and exciting) week for me which is why I haven't been blogging lately. Between my husband being out of town last week and a lot of work commitments, I was hardly ever home. A few updates: The firm I work for won an award for my work on an exciting PR campaign! I am just so honored and amazed that we won and I got to bring ...
Eyeliner Rave: L’Oreal for the Waterline, HIP Jelly Gloss & Some OOTDs
A week or so ago, I told you lovely ladies about my trip to Walgreens which resulted in the purchase of L'Oreals Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner and L'Oreal's HIP Jelly Balm in "plush." Well ladies, I am here to report that both products are absolutely wonderful, with the eyeliner being a standout product. I've been using the eyeliner on ...
A Year Later: Wedding Flowers Feature (Thank Goodness for Peonies!)
My wedding florist Lisa from Petals By Design contacted me the other day to let me know that Brides Houston featured our wedding flowers in their spring/summer issue!Gosh I love peonies. That's why when a makeup product is called "peony" I feel a burning desire to buy it. Thank goodness it worked out with Bobbi Brown's blush because I would ...
Miss USA 2010: Photo Controversy (Pageant Airs Tonight at 7PM!)
As I mentioned in a previous post, I love watching pageants like Miss USA each year. I just think it's fun and I like to make my picks and predictions for who will make the top 10 (I also love to rant and rave about the girl's gown choices!) The MISS USA pageant airs tonight on NBC at 7 p.m. EST. The reason I wanted to write about ...
Not So Good Day Ulta & VS Swim Rave!
Today I dragged my sick little self out of the house because I wanted to go to Ulta to redeem my $5 off coupons that I got several weeks ago. When I got those coupons I was so excited because the girl at the cash register told me I can use all $20 worth of them in one purchase! I was like YESSS!!! $20 worth of stuff for free! You know how ...
Looks I’m Loving Now- Celebrity Hair, Fashion & Makeup
Once in awhile I like to do a little celebrity fashion and beauty inspiration post. Like I said in my last post of that nature, I tend to save photos of celebrity outfits, hair or makeup I love and wait until I have enough to do a fun entry like this. I'll start with the lovely Kate Beckinsale. She seriously can do no wrong fashion and beauty wise. ...
The Cost of Style: Can Inexpensive Items Be Just as Stylish? or Are You a Brand Devotee?
I love reading a lot of other blogs because I get inspired by certain trends, the styling of an outfit or an awesome product review. I enjoy supporting others in the blogging community and learning about their perspective and sense of style. The blogs I read vary from bloggers who tend to wear more high-end pieces to ones who wear ...
An Outfit of the Day Post…Times Five
I have missed a few days of blogging because I've had post-work events to go to and because I'm like death warmed over right now. I'm coming down with something and combined with back-to-back evening events, I haven't had much time or energy to write a post. I have taken pictures of my OOTD's though, so I'm going to share those here:Sweater- White ...
Health Warning: Truvia & Other Artificial Sweeteners
You ladies know I don't like to venture off topic too often, but I felt compelled to write this entry based on my recent experiences with Truvia. Truvia is marketed as a more natural calorie-free sweetener because it is derived from the stevia plant. After years of using Splenda and other sweeteners in my tea, I decided that switching to something ...
