Keeping the Wrinkles Away with Olay Retinol24
*sponsored post in partnership with Olay Hello friends, happy Wellness Wednesday! So, last month Olay sent me their new Olay Retinol 24 line and I added to my to my nightly skincare routine! I know, you see the word retinol and it probably scares you away. Well, I am happy to help you put those myths about retinol to rest. Did you know that retinol is the #1 most searched skincare ingredient on Google and the #1 most dermatologist recommended ingredient? Many discontinue retinol use in less than a month because they experience irritation, it’s too expensive or they do not see results. This is why Olay created the Retinol24…

RAQUEL MCCOMB Blog Turns ONE!
Happy Blogiversary to me me! You guys, my blog turns ONE today! Wow, one year ago today I decided to launch my blog and hit publish on my first post! I had been thinking about starting a blog for a while but it was a little scary thinking about putting yourself out there so publicly. I remember being so nervous and wondering if anyone would even read but I am so glad that I decided to finally go through with it! I remember trying to decide how long I should purchase my hosting services for and deciding on one year “just in case”. But woah, this year has gone by…

It’s my birthday month! Yes, month, because we all know it’s not just a day celebration but a month long celebration! I celebrated my birthday with my closest friends with a Sunday brunch that turned into Sunday Funday! We brunched at Emmaline and it was delicious as usual-everyone enjoyed their food and morning cocktails. If you still have not been you need to add to your list! It is such a cute place and the food is good. This shirred wrap dress was such a hit! LOVE this dress…I received so many compliments! Hugs just the right places and would look great on most body types. The top may need…

#brunchsohard: Holman Draft Hall
Today is Friday which only means tomorrow is brunch day! Anyone else thinking brunch and rose this weekend? A couple of weeks ago we met our friends for Sunday brunch at a new spot in Houston called Holman Draft Hall. It’s such a cool spot! We arrived pretty early, probably some of the first people there–hey, you never know with brunching, sometimes you gotta get there early so you don’t have to wait! We definitely did not have that issue there, we had plenty of seating to choose from. They have the “indoor” area which pretty much opens up to the covered outdoor area. They have plenty of seating and…

Pretty In Pastels
If you know me or scroll through my Instagram feed, you will probably see most of what I wear is neutral. From navy, black, olive, white, burgundy, blush…you get the point! I just love the basics! I do add a pop of color every now and then but I want to add more colorful colors to what I wear. This year I am trying to make it a point to get out of the same basic colors and explore a little more and try adding more color into my wardrobe whether it be by clothing, accessories or shoes. The possibilities are endless but seems like pastels is a perfect way to…

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…
