Favorite Finds Part 1

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas is here- ahhhhh! I’m filled with excitement and then dread. Every year I want to give the perfect gift, and every year I run out of time and end up just getting something that’s available. Then there’s the dreaded question, at least for me, what do I want for Christmas. I love lots of things, but in that very instant I am asked I can’t remember anything I want. For this reason, I thought it would be fun to take little snapshots around town while I’m out shopping and share them. Because, I know not everyone has the time or desire to shop to the extent that I do- ha!

I’m nuts over these Twisted Gold Tumblers. Just imagine how fun it would be to have friends over for cocktails or dinner and use these glasses. They’re so luxurious (as Martin Bullard says) and regal looking! Heck, I’d even drink my coke out of these. Who says it has to be saved for a cocktail?

What can I say, I love necklaces. I want this necklace really bad!

Look how great it looks with a t-shirt.

These straws are the perfect hostess gift! Please have me over to your party, so I can give them to you!The only catch is that I might make you give me one to drink from all night.

Ok, I might be giving these to everyone for any celebration! This is how much I love them.

This is the ultimate girly gift. If you are like me, you have a bar of soap in your lingerie drawer that has completely lost it’s fragrance leaving your bras smelling like the Mexican food restaurant you ate at last night. These wax tablets(bhldn-in store) are AMAZING. They are so fragrant, way more fragrant than any bar of soap, and not to mention pretty. I think I’ve just convinced myself to buy one right now- ha!

A mug for your besties, who need coffee as much as you do in the morning.

These hairbands won’t kink your hair. I borrowed one from my sister-in-law to test it out (thanks Mallory). Consider it tested. I want a pack or two. The perfect gift, because who wants to pay $12 for a hair band?

The perfect gift for the newly engaged or bride to be. Engraved forks on the cake table at the wedding- what a cute photo op. I love gifts that celebrate such a fun time in life!

Where were these shoes when I got married?!?!

If this dress was on sale and if I had somewhere to wear it, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I guess this isn’t technically a gift, but I had to include it in case any of you have an occasion for this dress. Buy it and send me a picture of you wearing it- I would love it! It would make my year!

I’m a very happily married women. I just love this dress and I just had to show it to you all. I don’t think I’m the only one who says to herself, if I could go back and do it again, I’d wear THIS dress.

    First off, I’m thinking you should renew your vows just so you can wear that dress. Secondly, you NEED that Anthrolpologie necklace.

My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House (@kbshowhouse ) did not disappoint! Wow! Wow! Wow! There are so many talented artists/designers in this world, and to be able to experience and be fully immersed in so many of their creations in one place was a really neat experience!! I highly recommend, if you have not been. Their show in Dallas is open through November 13th.

Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I ha Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I have a trick, and no, it’s not an expensive hair growth serum! It’s Castor Oil, so it’s all natural and inexpensive. Apparently, it’s been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt. Ok, and I use it on my eyelashes, too, but I’m doing that at my own risk. I don’t want to recommend this practice, since I don’t really know what it’s going to do to my eyesight. I know, call me crazy- it’s fine. 

Thanks to my friend, Michelle for telling me about this little trick! 

Comment “oil” for  links to both the Castor Oil and the wands I use. #beautytips #beauty #eyebrows #beautyproducts
I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of mental illness. If my friend is strong enough to stand at the podium and talk about her husband and the hope her family has in the midst of their darkest days, then I want to honor both of them by telling you about my struggle with mental illness. My friend mentioned that many of her husband’s closest friends had no idea that he’d been struggling with mental illness for 3 years, and I realized that many of you, and probably some of my closest friends don’t know how long and hard my struggle has been with mental illness. For me my mental illness wasn’t the kind where I couldn’t get out of bed or out of the house, which would make it hard to tell I was struggling. For me it looked more like battling through the day and struggling with my own self condemning thoughts and emotions - shaming myself for being happy one minute and sad the next, or for not being happy all the time, looking around at all my blessings and not feeling gratitude, which made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was hard to get excited. On some days I walked around feeling like a scared puppy in a big bad world with my emotions right at the surface. For me, my faith is very important to me, and I knew this was not the life God had for me, so I started to pray for help and deliverance. God started to lead me to help in a whole bunch of different forms, counselors, health practitioners, friends, medicine, trauma therapy, EMDR, books, excercise, the support of family, and most importantly, Christ and His word. 
For me, it was over a 10 year battle probably because I was overcoming a lot of trauma being raised by an alcoholic mom. But for you it may be longer or shorter or this isn’t something you struggle with at all (hallelujah!). If you do, your emotions and your struggle may be different. But I’m here to say, you’re loved. You are loved by God and by so many of the people around you. Don’t give up. Dig in and fight the battle that’s happening in your mind. Fight it like you would if you had cancer. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters
I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by swapping out my denim skirt for my leather skirt!! I’m also totally digging socks with loafers. Takes me right back to my middle school days, and I’m not sad about it! And yes, that’s what my closet looked like after trying to figure those outfits out, but it was fun! 🤷🏼‍♀️

How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a new pair of jeans! You don’t need to buy a new pair of jeans to get the cuffed denim look! Just grab a pair of straight leg jeans from your closet, cuff them to be about an inch or 2 above the top of your ankle bone and use the nifty little gadget from this tutorial. Viola! Plus, the cuffed denim length makes it a heck of a lot easier to wear most of the shoes in your closet! #winning
