Venice Beach

FEATURED ON THIS POST:

Hi friends!

Hope you are doing well! Today I am sharing one of my first looks in L.A. last week when I was in town. Our first stop was Venice Beach and we fell in love with the area. I loved all the street art and street performers, and its overall vibe. I wore this one piece swimsuit that doubled as a bodysuit for more versatility. We went straight to the beach and then lunch right after wearing the same swimsuit. I paired it up with these frayed denim shorts and my go to denim jacket and Fila dad sneakers. Check out my full outfit to Venice Beach below and find out where I am headed to next below!

3 Things I Want to Take Away From The Altitude Summit

FEATURED ON THIS POST:

Hi Friends,

Happy Monday! Today I am writing from Palm Springs! I’m down here for a week for the Altitude Summit and I am so excited to be here. Last year my friend recommended this conference to me, so I booked my ticket because I was excited to attend a conference for creatives which is unlike any other conference I’ve been. What most attracted me to Altitude Summit was that it encompassed boss babes from business owners, to bloggers, book writers, to freelance artist. There were so many types of women that would be attending beyond my scope of blogging, and there would be so many different type of creative classes offered for people like me who were looking to expand their horizons. Plus did I mention, Joanna Gaines was the keynote speaker! And I am one of her biggest fan. I’ve always loved her story and how she came from just a mom design blogger to becoming one of the most successful women in the business, yet staying true to who she was and always putting her faith and family first. Today on the blog I am sharing three things I want to take away from the Altitude Summit and how I hope to grow from it.

5 Things I Learned From Being Body Shamed On Social Media

FEATURED ON THIS POST:

Hi friends,

I am back after a much needed break for Spring Break. Honestly I was so exhausted with my son off school for a week, and my husband gone for work I didn’t have time to work on my blog. But I am back and today I am sharing something personal that happened to me that I hope can shed light on an issue that negatively affect us on social media. A couple weeks ago I posted a workout video that was advertised through Instagram. I had people comment on my post saying things like I looked anorexic, I needed to eat, and I was too thin to workout. Very false assumption that many people have about anorexia and fitness. Body shaming is a prevalent issue on social media, and there are so many misleading misconception about “health” and how “healthy looks”. I sat there thinking what I wanted to reply back to the comment, but then I realized this…

#ad #pantene14daychallenge #greathairday

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! Today I wanted to share my results and review of my 14 Great Hair Day Challenge with Pantene. I love Pantene and have been using their shampoo and conditioner since I was a child. So when they reached out to me to join the challenge, I happily agreed. I wanted to say goodbye to a bad hair day and say hello to a great hair day because we all know how much having a bad hair day can really effect your day. As someone with very thick, coarse and sometimes frizzy hair with this Texas humidity I decided to use the Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner. This hydrating shampoo and conditioner is specifically made to moisturize dry and frizzy hair. Check out my results of my Pantene 14 Day Challenge below!

Hope you are having a great week! Can you believe Valentine’s is tomorrow? I swear this month has flown by. Today I wanted to share with you a fun Galentine’s Sprinkle Brunch we threw for our expecting friend Michelle. If you don’t know what a sprinkle is, it is basically a smaller intimate baby shower for a mom who is expecting her second or third child. Basically an excuse to celebrate such a wonderful blessing in our friend’s life. This Galentine’s sprinkle wouldn’t have been successful without the help from each one of these girls. Everyone contributed their own special touch which made it that much more special. So if you are looking to throw a Galentine’s Sprinkle here are some tips for hosting a Galentine’s Sprinkle Brunch!

5 TIPS FOR PACKING A CARRYON FOR NYFW+ NYFW RECAP

Hi friends,

I am back from NYFW. It was a short three day trip and totally worth it. I was able to visit some of my favorite PR companies and brands and get to see some amazing runway shows. This was my third NYFW and my first going in February. Thankfully we were at the Sheraton Tribeca which was less than a five minute walk to the shows and Soho, so we didn’t have to face the cold winds for too long. Today I am sharing a quick little recap plus sharing what I packed in my carryon to NYFW. Everyone including myself was impressed that I packed five outfits for three days in one carryon. And on top of that I did it literally six hours before my flight. One of the reasons why I wanted to just take a carryon was because I had a meeting I had to be at right after I got off the plane, and I didn’t want to wait for my checked in bag. Plus I saved $60 by just bringing a carryon. So if you want to know my secret, check out my 5 TIPS FOR PACKING A CARRYON FOR NYFW below!
