Its crazy to think I posted my first YouTube video almost two years ago, and started my blog way back in 2012? I always had this urge to connect with people, and interact with individuals. Probably why I work retail. What I always wanted out of my blogs and videos was to talk, and discusse what I'm passionate about, and what others are passionate about. I was infatuated with Youtube videos, "What theres other girl who are just as obsessed with make-up as I am". It was a whole new world opening up when I connected with Youtube and subscribing to channels. I knew I always had something to say, and something to give but have always felt one step behind the game... Like, why would anyone care what I had to say? Theres 200 million different girls out there saying the same thing, with better camera, background, and music. But one day I just decided to put all those fears aside and just do what I loved. I love talking about designer bags, clothes, and all things make-up.
The other day while I was trying to fall asleep, I kept tossing and turning with this overwhelming urge to film a video, and I hadn't filmed since February. I didn't know where the energy and passion to start filming came from but I didn't ignore it. I woke the next morning and filmed my June Favorites and decided to film my first Vlog.
I have this fire under my ass to do what I love, and make it happen. I have an overwhelming positive energy while filming and creating content and I hope this energy stays with me!
Until next time, if you haven't watched my June Favorites please do! There is one thing you don't want to miss!
When I was invited to the Prashe fashion show, all I could think was "hair and make up, hair and make up, I can't wait to see all the hair and make up!". Let me tell you, the Prashe Fashion Show did not disappoint! From the gowns to the glowing skin, I was in LOVE.
I love to attend events and scout out new looks and inspirations. Or lets be real, people watch! I get some of my biggest inspirations from people watching! Why is people watching so negative? Off topic. The one thing I could not take my eyes off of was the amazing glow, and highlight all the models had on. I mean I was creeping hard trying to figure out how I could get my highlight that poppin'! All the girls had a clean fresh wing cat eye paired with the dewy, glowing skin.
I've never been one of those girls to pull off a slick back hair, I just don't have the face shape. But let me tell you, after this fashion show I was walking out thinking "I could totally rock this look". All the girls looked so beautiful with there hair all slick back, outta the face and totally refreshed!
So, when summer rolls around all I think about are dresses, dresses, and more dresses. Here in Texas we die of the heat, I mean BAM that heat hits us and its killer just leaving the house. So when I see those sure signs of summer I'm on the hunt for dresses on top of dresses. I can't be bothered with layering and pairing tops with short, skirts, or whatever. I want a one and done piece. Don't even have to think about it!
When this serape number strolled my way I think I literally did a happy day. Bright, check. Light weight, check. Good fit, check. I LOVE the fact that is bright and I don't have to pair 12 million different jewelry pieces to spruce it up. Its a one and done piece. Easy for travel, easy to dress up and down. You can best believe I will be repeating this beautiful number many times this summer.
So basically that brings me to my three items I can't live without for summer. Obviously dresses, and bomb arm candy combo, and a good chunky heel!
Y'all The Farmers Daughter Boutique literally has it all! Give them a follow on Instagram. The post some killer outfit inspiration!
When summer rolls around the first thing I think of is "what is gonna be my perfect summer cross body?". You can literally turn any drab outfit to next level with a killer purse. In the summer I just can't be bothered by a cumbersome bag that is heavy, and overbearing. When I was scouring the internet, it finally clicked! Double J Saddlery has some of the most killer bag! Color, patterns, leathers, and the best thing....FRINGE!

I wouldn't say I suffer from acne, or oily skin. I would say I am pretty lucky in that department, but lets be real. We all struggle with our skin at one point in our lives. That time for me, is now.
My skin tone tends to lean more dry, with a little hormonal break out every once in a while. Well, recently I have been struggling with the texture of my skin, just little bumps in patches. Some here, some there. So, when I found out about Clearista Retexturing Gel I thought what does it hurt?
I started using the Clearista Retexturing Gel as recommended, 2-3 times week. The retexturing gel has a great consistence, that is great for sensitive drying skin types. I always worry with exfoliators that they will be to ruff and drying. When I first tried Clearista I as so happy to see it was a gel texture opposed to clay, or straight exfoliator. Clearista actually increases your hydration by clearing pores, for them to breath.
I usually try to use a products consistently but I suck at it. I suck at using products consistently, and thats why I never see results. And never like skin care items. But YALL, I stuck to Clearists and gave it a good go and saw results. Real results. It literally head retexture my outer surface of my skin. No more patches of random texture throughout my face. Bonus, this has no smell or oder to deter you from using it.
I sometimes wonder how time creeps up on us like this? Like is it really already wedding season? I know I'm so busy between working, cleaning, and cooking to be that type of person to shop ahead of time for a wedding gift. Or any gift for that matter. And by the time I realize I need a gift, all the good items are taken off the registry. So then your left with that random pair of place settings to gift. Totally not noticeable that you waited to the last minute.
One of my favorite gifts to give is a framed picture. Nothings is more personal, and classic than gifting a picture. Plus, it makes you look like you took the time and effort for the perfect gift!
Framebridge has a team of experts that design and articulate a custom built frame for any occasion. What makes Framebridge so great is the personal touches you can make.

Framebridge is completely user friendly in all aspects. It literally take 3 minutes to get the frames ordered from start to finish. My favorite size they offer is the Instagram Prints 5x5 that retail for $39 each. When choosing a picture I would select a high resolutions photo or the highest quality photo available from upload. When choosing a frame, you have all styles possible. 38 different frames to be exact. Ranging from classic, clean, and eclectic. On top of choosing a custom frame you have the choice of mat color. After picking out the photo, frame, and mat color Framebridge creates the frame precisely measuring, cutting, and building the perfect wedding gift.

There is literally no other time in your life you can openly, randomly, let everyone know your engaged. You are someones soon to be wife! Seriously, what is more exciting than that! To me, absolutely nothing! So, yes. I am that girl that loves anything that says wife, wifey, bride, or soon to be bride.
This tee I found from Peter Piper Paper Co. is the perfect fit for that girl who is just as excited as I am. Do you have good friend who's just engaged? Are you attending an engagement party? Or a friend who is engaged and just need a gift for? This is the perfect gift! When else in your life do you get to wear stuff revolving around your wedding? So you might as well live it up. Wear that shit everyday if it makes you happy. It sure makes me happy!
I linked the tee below along with some extremely cute journals that would help any wifey to be!
