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…

Cinco De Mayo: My Three Go-To Margarita Spots
Happy Cinco De Mayo eve! Are you ready to fiesta for Cinco De Drinko?!

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…

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…

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…
