Rodeo Roundup: 7 Things to Do at Rodeo Houston
Howdy! Rodeo Houston is coming to a close but you still have 5 days left to make it out this season! That’s more than enough time to go out there and have a great time with friends or family. This year was my third year as a Rodeo Houston volunteer and I finally made it out there Sunday as a guest. I had only been out there for my shifts this season–I didn’t realize there was only a week left of rodeo! I was given suite tickets for Sunday so my hubby, friends and I made a day of it. There is so much to do, a little bit of…

Emmaline: Must Try Houston Brunch Spot
Who doesn’t love a good Sunday brunch?! My good friend and I made plans to have brunch and decided to try this Instagram worthy place and we were not disappointed! Y’all, let me start by saying: ALL. THE. HEART. EYES. for Emmaline! This new Houston restaurant is such a beautiful brunch spot! Emmaline is described as an American Restaurant with Europen influences. We did not have reservations (I don’t think they take Sunday reservations) so we decided to arrive around opening time. The exterior of the restaurant is painted in all white brick with black window, fence and stair case accents. The beautiful name Emmaline just pops from the white…

GNO: Chapman & Kirby
TGIF! Who’s ready for happy hour on this beautiful Friday?! (raising my hand). A couple of Fridays ago our dear friend, Mariam (fellow newbie blogger), was in town visiting from London so our group of friends planned a much needed GNO to catch up! Our friend suggested the new restaurant Chapman & Kirby Bar + Kitchen located in EADO (or now known as East Village), which opened Summer 2017. This place is huge! There’s an area set up with booths and tables, another lounge area with couches, a large bar, an area with more casual bar tables AND an outdoor patio area! When I arrived there was plenty of street parking…

Dip Powder Nail: Tried It and Loving It!
This past Thursday was mani/pedi time so I finally decided to see what all the rage was about and tried the Dip Powder Nail! Lately it seemed like every time I went to get my mani/pedi someone next to me was getting the Dip Powder Nail and I was curious. So the last time I was there I asked what it was and decided I would try it on my next mani. I usually do walk-in at Venetian Nail Spa in Vintage Park and have not been dissapointed–everyone I’ve had has done a good job. This time Tee at Venetian Nail Spa is who did my dip powder nail mani…
