It’s March — which is basically nearing Houston’s summer. Even though we’re back to cool days, we have sweaty ones just ahead. We’re thinking about pool and beach time and immediately heading for the gym, snacking on protein bars and low-cal chips or doing juice cleanses. While the rodeo has left town, we’re just gonna fill … Continue reading
So end of year bonuses are happening and in addition to treating myself to a fancypants dinner in Houston, I think a bit of a refresher for my winter wardrobe is in store. Wondering what’s on my holiday wish list? *cough* mom *cough* Check out the 10 items below that I’m super into! I dig anything that has the potential for … Continue reading
I’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it! It wasn’t love at first sight, but I got there. Honestly, I felt like I didn’t need it. I have an excess of jewelry. I know my style. I don’t need anything (or so I tell myself to protect my bank account), … Continue reading
Who doesn’t love a chance to dress up pretty, drink beautifully crafted cocktails, and strut around on a Wednesday night?! Last week, my friend Annie and I got to do just that – we ditched our boring mid-week routine and dressed to the nines for the Kit and Ace store launch party at Rice Village. … Continue reading
Do salons incite drama and gossip? Or are drama and gossip attracted to salons? I can’t decide what leads to what. My college water polo coach once pointed out that after every breakup the girl does something radical to her hair like cut it all off (guilty) or dye it (guilty). What a wise statement from … Continue reading
I did the most adulting thing of my young adult life: I bought a car. No seriously, I spent money on a new car which I now own instead of my old car. Currently in my parking space outside my apartment is a brand new car, which, if you forgot, I OWN. This might be … Continue reading
I actually love this way of Birchbox/Ipsy reviews—pinning them against each other. I get them at the same time and I’m like, “oooohhh Ipsy is going to beat the ish out of Birch… oh wait, is that cucumber?!?” I’ve been beaching it up, y’all. Proof: Specifically, I’ve been traveling the world (ahem, east coast—from New York … Continue reading
OK, so as I did last time, rather than writing about my Birchbox and Ipsy separately, I’m going to do what everyone should do to two things they like a lot and are competing for your business: pin them against each other. Number one Birch: Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream Ipsy: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on … Continue reading
Ah summer is here. And while you waste away in your over air-conditioned office, counting down the minutes until the clock hits 5 pm (or well at least until the boss leaves) so you can whisk yourself away to happy hours, poolside grilling and laying out, here’s some things to day dream about and distract you with. Kate Spade … Continue reading
I’ve got the duo of subscription boxes: BirchBox and Ipsy. And usually they come a week or so apart and I’ll make a blog about my little Ipsy bag and then boast of the Birch. But this month, annoyingly, I got them at the same time. This is not because one or the other hates … Continue reading
