Hotel Review: The Texican Court in Irving, TX

For those of you who don’t know (aka if you don’t follow me on Instagram, but that’s not you, right?!), I recently celebrated my 39th birthday. That’s right, ya girl is almost out of the 30’s era. While some women might freak out about this, or just getting in older in general, I can honestly...

This book, which I was able to read on my Kindle via Netgalley (thank you Berkley, Penguin Random House!) is probably one of the most beautifully written pieces of women’s fiction that I’ve read in a while.

One of the best things about being a parent is that you get to do all of the fun things that you always wished your parents would do for you. Yes, this includes going to Disney World. As a young girl, I was obsessed with going to Magic Kingdom and, because my parents were nowhere...

  If there’s one thing that you should know about me it’s this: I love hotels. I became enamored with them as a small child because I loved the idea of a “home away from home.” One of the ways I love treating myself is through staying at a top-notch hotel that features a great...

Fun fact: I love a good eyeshadow palette! I first developed a love for eyeshadow after becoming a full-time Beauty Editor working at a magazine. The beauty product mailings would come in droves and I would hoard the eyeshadow palettes to bring home for testing. I’d spend the weekend creating different looks with them. Of...
