How To Wear Animal Print
Hello loves! It's been a while since you've heard from me over here, as I've been busy hustling over at Honestly Margo, and it's a wonderful thing, but I've missed you!

I'm excited to show you how to wear animal print. Why am I saying this is so easy to … [Read more...]
The Only Shoe You’ll Need For All Seasons
Nude baby. Be nude. Ok not really nude. But nude. There's this simplicity, flawlessness, effortlessness that comes with a nude shoe. It's not busy or loud, it just blends and is minimal. It takes the focus off of that particular thing and onto the "big picture" of the beauty of the look. And it's one of my wardrobe essentials. This shoe goes with everything. This is the only shoe you'll need. Is the nude shoe THE hottest trend of the … [Read more...]

Bubbly, Treats and a Mother Daughter Pop Up Shop at Swoozies Dallas

Eat This: Taquito Pockets
These pockets of goodness, morsels of warm delight, oh my goodness is all I can say! Sometimes the best recipes and creations come by happenstance. Such is the case with these. So I did what I normally do on taco nights. I buy my ground meat and make a big batch of taco meat to have for everyone to eat as they please. I get crunchy shells, corn tortillas, flour tortillas, provolone cheese to make THESE No Carb Taco Shells, and of course … [Read more...]
Decor: California Dreaming
I recently came across the lovely home of TV producer and writer Michelle Nader, designed by well-known architect Barbara Bestor, in Domino and it made me think so much about what is going on in my world with my house. I'm redoing all the floors of the first floor of my home because I had some water issues that ruined my wood floors. (Posts to come on this crazy situation of mine soon!) And upon my search for looks similar to what I'm trying … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Kinky Pink Spring Spritzer
Oh happy Friyay! It's #FuzzyFriday time! Momma's ready for a cocktail and I'm ready for the weekend! I created this concoction because I wanted something different, fresh and something to give me all the spring feels. This did that for me. This drink is SO SO yummy and refreshing and almost tastes like the ICE Sparkling Water drinks. The refreshing combination of blood orange, mango and passionfruit infusion with the pineapple juice and … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Bloodhound
Happy Friday! Serving up this old fashioned drink today, loving the fusion of all of these flavors combined. It feels warm going down yet sweet and fresh with strawberries. It's perfect I think for this time of year because it's not quite hot yet, our cold days aren't over, yet the strawberries make me think spring. The Bloodhound ¾ oz. Dry Vermouth ¾ oz. Sweet Vermouth 1 ½ oz. … [Read more...]
Decor Items You Need From Target All Under $75
You guys know how much I love Target and all their style, not only in fashion but with their home decor. This weekend, Target launched a new home line called Opalhouse.

I pulled some really cool items that you can use in SO many ways. Velvet pillows in all shapes and … [Read more...]
3 Reasons Why You Need To Get To The Beach
It's no secret I love the beach. If you've followed me for any amount of time, you'll know from my Instagram and previous blog posts that I LOVE the beach and go every summer. I literally immerse myself in all the feels of what the beach is. I plop my rear on the sand, let the water wash over me, and I don't care who walks by if I'm in their way. They can walk around me. For me, it's one of the most exhilarating experiences. Now … [Read more...]
My Skin Care Regimen Revealed
When I turned 30, I was very On Purpose with a huge personal goal for myself. I know that I wanted to take good care of myself so that when I turned 40 I didn't look 40. And continue that on so that when I turn 50, I didn't look 50. I always was into my skin care, but from then on, I really made it a focus. I think it has somewhat paid off! So far I think my skin looks pretty good for my age because people comment on it all the time. So … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Pencil Pants and Stripes
Jeans, jeans, jeans. White jeans. White jeans. More white jeans. I love them both, but I wanted a few other pants alternatives in my closet. This is one of them. These coral pencil pants fit like a glove, and this top I'm wearing doesn't look like anything special, but touch it, and you'll know. It, too, fits like a glove, with just the right about of lycra to hug your curves. That's the only way to pull off stripes without them … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Boozy Bunnies
When I come up with themed cocktails, like I've done for #NationalDonutDay or St. Patrick's Day, I love to make them fun, festive and I try to bring out the kid in us. That's what I did when I created the Boozy Bunnies for Easter. Let's talk about Peeps for a second. I think people either love em or hate em. Me? I kinda like them! It's not necessarily a Peeps drink, but I used them to garnish the cocktail. The drink tastes like a creamy … [Read more...]

Beauty Review: VIIcode Eye Cream
Most of you who know me by now know that one of the things I love is beauty. Anti-aging has been long on my radar since I turned 30, and I've always had the mentality of taking a proactive approach to the aging process since then. I thought to myself, when I turn 40, I don't want to look 40. When I turn 50, I don't want to look 50. So I'm always open to exploring new products to be ahead of the game and age as gracefully as I can. One of … [Read more...]
