MOMMY AND ME DAY DATE IDEAS 10/05/2015

صورة
I cannot believe my little Jadyn will be three in just a few months. My little blue-eyed baby is not a baby anymore! The weather here in Houston has been AMAZING the last few days and with lots of cooler weather ahead it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the weather. Jadyn loves being outside and as the boys get older and life gets busier it’s important to me to spend time with them. Here are my top 5 mommy and me day dates (because night dates are for mommy and daddy) Go Apple Picking or visit a Pumpkin Patch. Enjoy the sun, the breeze, and exploring. Most farms also have hay rides, don’t forget to go on the hayride Play a game of flag football. Get the whole family in on this and the team who loses has to do the house chores for a week Enjoy the outdoors and the turning of the leaves by having a picnic. (Don’t forget the hot cocoa and marshmallows! Have a campfire! Bring out the s’mores and the blankets. I would say don’t forget the guitar to sing songs with but,...

ZARA PLEATED BLOUSE + MY LIFE HISTORY

صورة
almost feels bittersweet sharing one of my last looks/shoot from Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara is I place I want to go back and visit soon. I was captivated by the beach and surrounding mountains. Santa Barbara is  BEAUTIFUL . I brought this Zara pleated blouse with me and wore to the work conference I was at while in Santa Barbara. I love anything from  Zara , but this top… it’s all the feels! I only wish I didn’t have to keep tugging on it for my bra not to show (it’s a bit low cut), but the pleated sleeves and hem got me. It also comes in black and burgundy (totally grabbing the burgundy one for the holidays)! I paired this Zara pleated blouse with leggings, and although the pants I am wearing  are  leggings, they don’t  look  like leggings! You can get away with wearing leggings like this to the office with a pleated blouse like this and nobody will ever know! Moving on… I noticed I never really shared my life history, many of you may not c...

This post is in collaboration with Collective Bias. But as always, everything is 100% my own thoughts and opinions.   I had the opportunity to work with L’Oreal Paris along with Collective Bias, Inc. to bring you 3 different makeup looks. Let’s dive right in with the first look for when you’re on the go and don’t have much time to go all out with your makeup! 5 MINUTE MAKEUP:   products:   Voluminous  Mascara  / True Match  Foundation  /  EyeShadow 1. Start with foundation. I’m really loving the True Match Foundation because I get all day coverage and I like how it doesn’t feel or look cakey. 2. If you are short on time then you need products that can be used for multiple things, I used this eyeshadow to line my brows. Just promise me you won’t ever skip your brows, even if you’re short on time! 3. After my brows I used this same eyeshadow for my lids and eye crease. (I used lighter color for all over my lids,...

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. Mornings always end up feeling rushed. From showering to making breakfast to getting yourself ready for the day, it always seems like there’s not enough time. Many women spend upwards of half an hour on their makeup alone, which makes time fly by that much faster. But what if I told you you can have beauty without makeup? Makeup is helpful when you want to hide imperfections, but it’s good to let your skin go au naturel from time to time. Some people can’t wear makeup due to allergies and sensitivities, while others just don’t have the time.
