I mean don't get me wrong, I still have some gems tucked away in that closet... I just don't get to utilize them as much as I would like! Tonight however, I made an extra effort to be #ThatGirl.  I felt confident, glamourous and for once, I felt like an actual adult doing adult things that didn't consist of paying bills, doing laundry or organizing social activities. I was at an event with heels, a full BEAT face and an outfit that literally stopped people in their tracks!




 This looks is so simple yet eye catching! I paired my favorite maroon dress with nude heels and minimal accessories. I then added drama with a faux fur collar! I kept my hair straight and sleek for a more high fashion look.

COME THROUGH RING LIGHT!

Can I be basic for once and take a bathroom Celfie lol

I can't wait for night two! What did you think of my look? Let me know in the comments below!

Hey y'all

Thai's birthday is 10 days before mine, of course we had to do something SPECIAL!

God gave me a crown, and I am determined to keep it!

Your face when you are about to turn 30!

These next photos were so important to me! Not only was (and is) this my favorite movie, but I always felt like my goals and dreams were bigger than Kansas ( or really the midwest in general). When I moved to Texas in 2006, I remember telling my advisors I was from Kansas.. their reply " Honey, you're not in Kansas anymore!". I felt like I had finally made it over the rainbow and on to see bigger things! Even though I traveled back to KC to be with my step-daughter, my heart always tells me that I am a Texas girl at heart!

Hey y'all!


Man, I really wish Spring would show it's pretty face soon! Here it is, March and it snowed last week! I mean really KC.. REALLY!? I am so over this cold weather!

"I received these products from Esqido complimentary in exchange for a review. All opinions are honest and my own"


But on to a positive note, recently I was contacted from the PR team over at Esqido. If you haven't heard of Esqido, they are a fairly new company specializing in Mink Lashes. Once I was contacted I immediately went to their site and scoured Instagram to see what others were thinking and if they were legit.  I mean we all do this I'm sure lol.

Anyway, one I seen the lashes and read up on them, I knew I just had to try them to fully know for myself. So after spending hours comparing the  different styles and arguing with my husband why I needed which pairs.. I placed my order!

When I got the package (which was fairly quickly), I was shocked to see just how well they were packaged. A lot of lashes you get from the store or online come in a box pressed behind some plastic. Not these! These lashes were in beautiful cases that would keep the lashes protected and forsure reduce any chance of damage.

I received the "Gina" lashes and the "Voila" lashes along with a tube of glue. Y'all, the glue looked just as nice as the package that the lashes came in!

Each lash seemed to just fit perfectly on my eyes and it really didn't take much to adjust them either. The glue was mess free with a brush applicator that allowed me to control where and how much I was using.

Over all these lashes are officially my favorite lashes! I honestly love the fact that I was able to try them out and really see the quality of these mink lashes. If you would like to learn more about the company, products or connect with them, you can visit their website HERE!
