Our Favorite Red Carpet Looks From The Queens Of The 2022 Oscars.

We might as well start with Jada Smith’s outfit by Jean-Paul Gaultier and his protégée Glenn Martens. Honestly, I love the look on her, she looks domineering in the long sleeve zipper bodice and feminine in the sea of green ruffles. The emerald tones of the dress also really complement her skin tone.

Spring Cleaning With Undiagnosed ADHD

Spring Cleaning With Undiagnosed ADHD

To start take out a piece of paper and a pen and physically write down all of the things that you want to clean. Physically writing things down helps to commit them to memory and gives you something visual to come back to if and when you forget what’s next. With everything listed out give yourself a time frame to complete the list. You can get as detailed as to how long you want to spend on each task or as vague as giving yourself two weeks complete the entire list. As long as you have a deadline to work towards everything will work out fine. To finish off your to-do list write down a reward that you’ll gift yourself once all the tasks are complete.

How I Ball On A Budget

How I Ball On A Budget

First, we have to talk about the dollar tree, now yes I know they raised their prices and I was mad too, but hear me out. We all can agree that $0.25 was not the issue it was the principal, but have you been inside lately because they're using that extra coin to upgrade their selection. I have an entire list of DIY dollar tree projects that I’m going to be doing this spring. It’s giving affordable luxury for me and I’m obsessed.

Fashion Faux Pas You Should Try Anyways

Fashion Faux Pas You Should Try Anyways

This next don’t I actually remember hearing all of the time and I don’t know who started it, but the saying goings never mix your metals and less is more, meaning don’t wear silver and gold together and keep it simple. Here’s the thing with this, you definitely should not wear silver earrings with a gold necklace and silver bracelets. However, with the layering trend, it’s completely ok for you to wear your silver and gold necklaces by mixing different sizes and styles of chains. This will give you some freedom with your choice of earrings and allow you to do some mixing with your bracelets and rings as well. When it comes to keeping your accessories simple while simple jewelry works well for minimalists, I personally am a maximalist and I only want to use simple jewelry when I’m wearing a bold outfit. When I wear a simple outfit my accessories are stacked and bold, but it’s personal preference above all else.

Spring 2022

Spring 2022

We have to start by talking about the spring 2022 color pallet. Think bright and bold, that’s the best way to describe the color pallets for the upcoming season. We’ve got beautiful jewel tones and rich pastels paired with rich neutrals continuing that 70s & Disco vibe we predicted would be trending this year. 

My Love Story pt 1

My Love Story pt 1

To start the story I have to take you back to 2011 when my husband and I were both in our jr year of high school. I was that girl that was always in a relationship or talking to a few dudes of interest lol. I find that when I look back the majority of them I dated solely out of boredom, but this isn’t a therapy session so I’m not going into detail about that. Anyway, at this time I was talking to 4 dudes because it was not like I was dating them. Guy number 1, we’ll call him Jessie, I met while working at the mall, guy number 2, let’s go with Dawn, I’d met in elementary school and he’d been in love with me ever since, and the other 2, we’ll call them Jeremy and Emmett, went to school with me.

Ideas For Celebrating The Season Of Love

Ideas For Celebrating The Season Of Love

Hopefully, you were able to stay warm and cozy through last week’s winter weather. I know my driveway is still slightly frozen, but as long as it’s not preventing me from leaving the house I know it will melt eventually. Enough about the weather, by now you’ve probably got your Valentine’s Day outfit on lock (if not you should definitely check out our valentine’s day collection), and if your partner is like mine they’ve waited until this week to start looking into what to do for Valentine’s Day. If that’s you forward this week’s blog post to them because we’re dropping some romantic Valentine’s Date Ideas for you and your boo (or for you to take yourself we love a good self date experience too.) Of course, the specific locations will feature DFW locations, but you’ll get a good idea of what to keep an eye out for when you’re looking for something to do.

Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Ok, so we’re going to start with classy Valentine’s Day outfit ideas. So when I think of class v-day outfits my mind goes straight to Gabrielle Union’s character Mary Jane and her collection of sheath dresses. We love a cute fitted sheath dress because it screams classy boss lady no matter what your actual position is lol. If you’re planning on going on an elegant date night after work then this is the perfect transition look as well. The fit of the sheath dress will give your body a nice shape and typically these dresses are knee-length so you’ll be able to show off some leg, modestly. Pair with simple accessories and shoes to keep the luxury vibe. If you’re thinking of wearing black try adding a pop of color with your shoes and bag. Check out our Classy Valentine's day looks here.

Morning vs Night Time Skincare Routine

Morning vs Night Time Skincare Routine

When we talk about skincare we have to start with our morning routine. To start my skincare routine I pull my hair back with a headband so that I have full access to my face. With a warm towel, I wet my face with warm water because I don’t like to apply my cleanser on dry skin (but I’m sure it doesn’t matter). After rinsing my face I use a damp warm towel to pat my skin semi-dry. With a cotton pad, I tone my skin with my favorite toner. Next, I typically use a water-based serum to hydrate my skin because my skin gets oily throughout the day, however, during the winter I will sub the water-based serum for an oil-based serum because the winter air makes my skin dry. The last few steps are to add my moisturizer and sunscreen to prevent sun damage.

All About This Seasons Grooviest Trends

All About This Seasons Grooviest Trends

Now we couldn’t talk about the 70s without mentioning the disco era. Disco took over fashion for everyone in the mid-late ’70s. Disco styles for women included jersey wrap dresses, tube tops, sequined shirts, spandex shorts, and high slit skirts with boots or chunky heels. Honestly we can see all of these looks in any trendy boutique today. While I don’t see myself rocking a pair of chunky, white, patent leather, boots, I can see myself in literally every outfit from the disco era lol.

National Cinnamon Day

National Cinnamon Day

To start off we have to talk about where cinnamon comes from. I actually learned this while writing this blog, but cinnamon comes from the bark of a cinnamon tree. I mean it definitely looks like overgrown pencil shaving but who knew it actually came from a tree too.
