Scarecrow Makeup Tutorial Halloween 2019

Leave a comment

Hello angels how is everyone doing this Sunday? Do you ever make plans and then have to cancel.. due to something that doesn’t even matter. Well I always look at it like it just wasn’t meant to be.

I have yet to take my kids to the Pumpkin Patch this year yet. So if you have any suggestions please defiantly let me know. Well I have another Makeup Tutorial for you. It’s pretty simple like the last one.

Well here in Houston Texas are temps are in the 50’s and loving every second of it.. I’m just praying that it stays. Thats what makes it feel so much like Fall. Its has been the most perfect weekend.

So what are you and or your kids going to be for Halloween? Well we have plenty of costumes laying around the house and we just have to pick one which is going to be the struggle. In this house they are so indecisive its NOT even funny. SERIOUSLY!!

My oldest which is 16, more than likely, no he won’t wear a costume. My 6 year old wants to be “Nacho Libre” so I have to go to academy and pick up some Stretchy Pants. My 4 year old daughter will probably want to be something my 6 year old wants to be, which will escalate to a flat out argument. which I am not ready to handle and my 1 year old will let me put anything I want on her and she will be so happy to be getting candy.

Well I probably have one more makeup tutorial coming out before Halloween. If you have a request defiantly let me know and I will try and get it out for you. Until next time.

Xoxo,

Sweater Weather

Leave a comment

So where I live it’s always so hot. So I woke up this morning and made my coffee and realized that it was cooler in the house than it normally is. So I go in the back to feel the weather and low and behold its 62 degrees out side I am so happy.

So now that its sweater weather but still not cool enough for pants yet. I know that some of you like to start shopping for Fall decor, Well I know that I do. I Normally like to decorate a month out like I do my planning for the month. So I put together my recommended “AUTUMN an FALL DECOR for 2019”

I love to decorate with a french country style. I love creams and whites with a pop of color. What is your style? When the weather gets cooler in Houston it just makes my home feel so cozy. So that is what inspires me to decorate the way that I do. I feel like the “FARMHOUSE ” theme fits my house as well with all the shiplapped walls and the magnolia wreaths around the house.

So I hope that you enjoy my favorite picks for Fall and Autumn for 2019. Also if you have some staples of your own please send them to me, I would love to see what you like. Go check it out below and let me know what you think.

Until next time.

XOXO,

2019 Most Popular Fall Fashion

Leave a comment

So First off I would like to say that I reside in Houston Texas, and where we live it doesn’t really get cold. So I normally don’t have in my clothes collection bulky pieces. Any how in my Amazon affiliate page I have designed a page where there are plenty of options to choose from. I have been loving the check prints, clogs, jumpers, vests, sweaters, scarves, dress, tops, printed tees even some super cute cardigans.

What are your favorite pieces for the Autumn / Fall? What are your go to pieces? Do you layer or just wear jackets?

Before my four beautiful kids. I use to be the fashion queen. Now I would be lucky to brush my hair one a week, no joke. I loved putting outfits together for the different seasons and just getting all dolled up with accessories. Oh and don’t forget the matching purse/clutch.

Anyhow I have three kids in school now and so I have a little more time to get ready and fix myself up. and with my beauty Youtube channel I can actually do two things at once. Which is make a makeup tutorial while dong my actual makeup for the day.

Well I hope that everyone enjoys these Autumn / Fall pieces that I put together. I hope that you like them. If you have any blog request I would love to post what you are interested in. So please let me know.

Until the next Blog..

XOXO,

New Orleans Trip 2018

Leave a comment
Once again New Orleans has never disappointed. This weekend The family and I took a quick trip to Nola for the weekend. we try to make a trip out there at least once a year. Our Condo is located on The French Quarter. So everything is in walking distance. 
JuJuBe
 So let me tell you traveling with three little one all 5 years old and under. Sounds like a difficult thing especially when your destination is about 6 hours away. What we do to make things easier for us is pack tons of snacks an leave during the evening time. Not one time did any of the kids have a melt down or cry. We actually had to make one put stop when we were in Geismar Louisiana for a potty break. (couldn’t forget to take a bathroom selfie)

OH and we did and always do some walking.. for a minute I thought that my Apple watch was going to explode. But with three little ones all under the age of 5 you have to be prepared. So I brought my Solly Baby Wrap that i can’t live without. And I can’t for get my amazing Mamas Papas Stroller travel system. This thing is a life saver. because when one of the kids got tired of walking a marathon I carried the baby in the solly an then either Eli or Emily got in the stroller. It was perfect.

Maybe its the vacation part of it but waking up here just makes me feel so alive. And with these two its for sure a added bonus. 

This is Camila’s first trip and she was a total trooper she stayed up with us most nights that we stayed out late. danced when she heard the Jazz music being played on the streets. She didn’t even fuss the whole trip.Only when here sister wouldn’t give her breathing room!! LOL

This Place is Just so Beautiful. The people are always so amazing and the art an history behind New Orleans is just mind blowing. I love bringing my family here. This is where my husbands mom grew up an he was brought here to visit family growing up. And I am going to keep the tradition going with my little ones. They love all the art an the people here. Also there is ALWAYS so much to do.

St. Louis Cathedral
This Cathedral does tours 
every hour!! Go check out the times.

Perfect place for Photography for sure. The little time that we were there this past weekend there were at least 7 Wedding that we witnessed. They were all so beautiful! The art an the colors an structured houses, condos and building are just gorgeous.

I just want to thank New Orleans again for another perfect weekend that Myself and my family enjoyed. We truly are blessed to live in such an awesome place so that we can travel an see different life styles that people live! the beauty of life itself is amazing. Until next time Nola…..WHODAT!!

DIY~ Burch Log Candles

Leave a comment

Good Morning. Today I have a DIY that I want to share with you. Since fall is FINALLY here. I have been wanting to do plenty of fall Crafts. I had these Led Candles sitting around gathering dust, I was honestly going to trash them.  So I figured, why not go ahead and revamp these babies. So I did!! It was super easy an I honestly had all the materials somewhere in my home so this project did not cost me a dime! These came out super cute. I looked for some like these an I found that retail they ranged from $20-$40. There was no way that I was going to pay that price. They make a room look so cozy. Perfect for fall. Enjoy.

Materials used:

*Waxed Candles
*Stain(Dark Paint)
*White paint
*Gray paint
*Blade (something sharp)
*Gloves
*Napkins

I love turning normal pieces into a rustic Farmhouse look. The french Country vibe gives your home a warm cozy feeling. Well for me it does.

Go check out how I did these Burch Log Candles!!
