In my world... old school rules <3

Sweet dreams

Saturday night. 10:40pm. Just climbed into my sleep number bed with my vapo rub, nasal strips, tissues & a book. $10 bucks says I fall asleep before reading more than 2 pages...

Sweet dreams fellow aging, late 20-somethings ;-)

A picture says it all

LOL! Just thought I'd share how I'm feeling right now... and that is EXHAUSTED! So until I have the energy to update further... goodnight ;-)

Holiday touches... for all holidays, not just Christmas

Gearing up for Valentine's Day around here! I like to swap out little things like hand towels for holidays and different seasons. I think they are just cute details that people notice. The little things you put into your own home are the touches that make it warm & inviting! But let's be honest, even if no one ever set foot in my home, I'd still do this bc details make me happy :-) What decorating details do you add to your own space?

Love is in the air

What a beautiful day in Fort Worth! Cool temps & sunny skies! I enjoyed a nice walk downtown & a stop into Barnes & Noble. I went with the intent of picking up the Complete Guide to Weddings from The Knot, but I also found a ton of other things, as per usual in a bookstore, right? I picked up a few cute finds from the bargain rack including a novel about a wedding girl (obsessed much? Lol) and an inspirational read on how to be a leader (a girl's still gotta work during this planning!). I skipped my usual Starbucks & opted to walk across the street to the Cupcakery. I dove right into the wedding planning guide, and my chocolate cupcake, and sipped my hot coffee.

Ahhhh! Such girly fun today ;-) Now time to walk home super fast! It's cold & I'm packing an unnecessary cupcake!

Happy 2013!!

Oh my goodness! Can you believe it is already halfway through January?? And it's my first post of 2013?! Haha just like me to already be behind! Sooo... Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a very blessed holiday season! I'm excusing myself from my lack of posts these first 2 weeks of the year, only because life has been crazy busy since I GOT ENGAGED!!!

Everything has been a complete whirlwind! In a good way, of course ;-) Chris and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on New Years Eve, and that is when he popped the question! I'll save the juicy details for my wedding website (coming soon!!), but I will tell you, it was just as I imagined... simple and classic and romantic! Yes, Chris got down on one knee and everything ❤❤❤ And the bling! OMG! I'm so in love with my ring! Pictures online don't even do it justice! It's so sparkly and vintage-looking and even includes two sapphires, which he knows I love. I wanted something original, something I had never seen one of my friends with... I like to be extra sassy and stand out! ;-)

On top of this MAJOR news, I have other major news in my professional life! I have made a decision to move myself up into leadership! I already manage a group of amazing girls, and I'm making the decision to just keep adding more!! I WILL be a sales director in Mary Kay, and I'm SO excited about the opportunities that lay before me! Yes, that's right... that means I am saying there is a free Pink Cadillac in my future!! I have known in my heart for a long time that this is the direction I would be taking, and I am stepping out of any fear and taking on the challenge in this, the 50th anniversary year for Mary Kay! Making this move now will help me to contribute so much to my future husband and future family! Chris and I have big plans and big dreams for the future, and this is going to be amazing in helping us to realize those dreams!

I can't believe how unbelievable lucky I have been so far in the new year! I know 2013 is going to be so great and I'm excited for these new journeys I am beginning! This year will probably be a crazy rollercoaster but I am so ready for it! I am abundantly blessed by my God and it takes my breath away how He is working in my relationship AND in my professional career!! My He also bless you and yours in the new year!

Holiday Sparkle

I always love a little sparkle in my life... especially for holiday parties!! After having the flu for a week, I was excited to go out on the town to our Mary Kay holiday party last night! And true to form in Texas, I didn't so much have to worry about the weather. So here's my fun outfit... totally on a budget!! All that glitters is GLAM! <3
Black sweater: Chaps (Kohls)
Sequin tank top: Apt 9 (Kohls)
Blue skinny jeans: Mossimo (Target)
Peep toe pumps: Moda (DSW)

Outfit obsession

Spotted this morning on a tv special with HGTV's Sabrina Soto & Food Network's Giada de Laurentiis. I'm loving this adorable outfit on Sabrina Soto... the girly hot pink skirt contrasted with the more rugged & laid back denim shirt, and of course some beautiful bling around her neck. Even the hair is amazeballs! Simple & stunning! <3

Friday's Fashion

Today was casual... just needed something simple & comfy to run around town in! I mixed & matched flannel plaid with glitter leggings & my "cowboy" wedges! Now that's Texas SASS <3 Happy Friday! xoxo

Thankful

I LOVE Thanksgiving but it comes and goes so quickly! Just reflecting on our meal, our beautiful table set by my mom, the formal dining room we sat in that is truly "extra" square footage, the friends that joined us for dinner, and the many blessings that so many people in this world don't have. I am truly a lucky lady! God has blessed me greatly <3
