Dinner in Dallas

Ate at Taco Diner with my good friend K.Pra!! We had a great meal... My chicken and pineapple tacos were awesome, but her avocado salad was amazing!!!! She also introduced me to a white wine spritzer... My new fave!! Note to self: order the soda water separate, and you get more drink for less bucks!! ;)
It was a blast and can't wait to do it again! Ohhh and we saw some dude from the Bachlorette!! She was very excited... I had no clue who he was...

Vegan

So I'm thinking about going back to my vegan eating habits... I figured since I can't work out as hard till after my surgery, then I may as well eat healthier! Let's hope I can stick to it, so I can look good in a bikini!! ;)

Austin Weekend

So besides my MRI... I had a fabulous weekend in Austin!! I had a great time shopping at the Domain with Phillip's sister on Friday and got the cutest shorts at Lily Pulitzer!! It was so much fun that we had to go back with Marissa on Saturday and do a little more shopping!! We had a fabulous lunch at North and had on the cutest Goose outfits with our LF hats! ;)
We then had the best time dancing at Steve & Brooklie's wedding!! Ohh and my Yoana dress was a hit!

My hips don't lie...

So I finally got an MRI on my hip and found that I do in fact have a labral tear caused by my pistol grip deformity... Which requires surgery! They said I need to take a week off of work!! What am I to do for a week?? I'm not sure if I can handle that much time off of work!!!

Birthday Dinner

Well since I didn't go home for my birthday, Phillip made it up to me by taking me to an amazing dinner!! We had the best escargot, tuna tartare, steak, wine, and a very delicious Creme brûlée!! I couldn't stop smiling! He should take me on a date more often!

Birthday Gift

My newest Tory Burch from the greatest bosses ever!!

New Blender

Yaaay! I just got the Ninja professional blender 1200!! And it's amazing! I can't wait to make snow cones with it... Oh yeah it makes snow cones!

Wedding

Ahhh I'm so excited to go see all my sisters!!!! I can't believe it's already here! Christina is going to make a beautiful bride!!!

Tucker

I fostered a puppy last night named Tucker... And wow!! That was an experience! He only wanted to be held and woke up just about every hour!! The last dog I fostered, Forest, was a bit easier. Definitely not ready for a baby!

YSL Mascara

So I've heard that the YSL mascara that Rachel Zoe uses is the best... Well some may still be looking! It is a bit clumpy, so you must use the trick my sister told me about after you put it on. You simply bat your eyes against the mascara tube to even out the clumps. After that, it looks amazing!! So if you don't mind doing that every time, then it is great! (I do still love my Diorshow for everyday use!!)

Ann Taylor Loft

It may sound weird to some, but I just walked into The Loft and found the cutest stuff!! I am always searching for the perfect shorts and I think I just found them!! And even better... They had them in fun colors and prints... Bonus!!

What are you giving up for Lent

Well, I actually hadn't thought about what to give up for lent until Meebs came in and told me what her good friend James Ragan was giving up. (James is my new friend I told you about who has been battling bone cancer since he was 13.) There are actually a lot of things I could give up, but I decided to join him in giving up "cancer"! He has asked anyone to join him in giving up not the physical cancer, but the need to have what others have. There is no need to want the life that others have, or the want to be able to do what others do. Let's be happy with the way our lives are and accept the cards we have been dealt. Let's live our lives and be happy with who WE are! Let's not waste our time and energy on putting down others or being jealous. Let's all give up "cancer" and live OUR lives!!

Wedding Slideshow

Well I finally figured out how to make a slideshow all on my own!!! Now let's see if I can pull this off... Or else Christina will have my head! Haha jk! I think it's going to turn out great!!

Tory Burch

In case you were wondering... I decided to go with the double zip bag instead!! Thanks to Kelley's Chanel bag on eBay, I was able to buy this beauty... And I got 30% off!!!

Last Minute Wedding

I had a blast with Tiff at the wedding! I finally got to meet James Reagan who has been battling cancer, yet has the most amazing personality and positive outlook on life! He has been raising money for cancer and going to college! Just such an amazing story! Anyways, the food was delicious, especially the pasta bar. It was funny when I looked over at James' full pasta plate, and then Tiff and I had the tiniest portion of pasta... And mine was soaked in oil! It was still good though ;)

Starbucks

So I told myself I would go back to my less caloric double short Americano... But I couldn't resist that peppermint mocha!! I just love when you take that hot sip and then get that cool surprise of the whip cream... It's just pure yumminess!!! And then to top it off, Tiff decided to pick up bagels for the store... Now I really can't resist a sesame bagel!! Ahhh again, how am I supposed to stick to my diet with all that and the temptations of all the good food at this wedding tonight!! Ohh yeah, I'm Tiff's last minute date to a wedding that she has to go to tonight. At least I can get some good ideas for my future wedding... And maybe a little dancing! ;)

Diet Pop

So I just decided that Pepsi makes the best diet soda! ( It only took me a few years to decide that!) It's an exciting life I lead... ;)

Yoana Baraschi

How amazing is this dress!!! I just love all of her stuff!!!!!

Tory Burch

So... I think I may need this...

Ohh Whitt

How am I supposed to stay on my diet when Whitt brings in these delicious cookies that look just like the yummy puffy ones at the grocery store!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

Starting my day with a wonderful Starbucks espresso!! Off to work, where I hope lots of last minute husbands stop by for some V-day gifts!! And hopefully Phillip will surprise me with some romantic dinner... We'll keep our fingers crossed!! 😘

Spotty Dishes

I have tried everything, and this is the only thing that will keep my dishes from getting that white, spotty stuff in the dishwasher!! I have to use the Lemi- Shine in the main compartment and my normal powder soap in the pre- wash part.

Dinner & Wine

Enjoying a new wine and new meal!! I decided to finally open the red 2008 Stags Leap that Phillip's uncle gave me... And it is delicious! I know it doesn't really go with my meal, but that's ok ;) I decided to make a healthy almond crusted chicken, sautéed okra, and sautéed sun dried tomato polenta!! For the chicken I used whole wheat flour, almonds, egg whites, and various Italian seasonings! Let's hope dinner turns out well!

LF Store

HUGE sale at LF Stores!!! My twin manages LF Store Dallas and their entire store is 60% OFF!!! They have tons of super cute stuff!! Everyone should go check out their local LF Store!! Happy Shopping!!!! :)

Ohh Trina

How amazing would this Trina Turk outfit be for my sister's bridal luncheon at Neiman's!!! Ohh how I love her prints and colors!!!

Dinner

Another successful made-up dinner! Phillip convinced me to make mac&cheese... And there was nothing healthy about it, well I guess the whole wheat pasta. I was inspired by my leftovers... My creamy creation consisted of heavy cream, yogurt butter, Italian blend cheese, Parmesan, fresh sage, crushed pecans, Italian seasonings, fresh garlic, and a little bit of truffle oil! It was delicious... And I definitely regret NOT going to the gym!!! I will for sure go in the morning!!!

Dinner

I made up a recipe for a cream sauce and it was delicious!! I used evaporated milk, fresh sage, asparagus, a little bit of Parmesan cheese, diced organic tomatoes, fresh garlic, a little bit of crushed pecans... And all sorts of dried Italian seasonings! Ohhh it was delicious!!

Starbucks

It's amazing how wonderful and happy a peppermint mocha can make you feel.... :)

Parking

Please respect that there are other people who park in this lot... Which means not to take up two spots under the car port... That PT Cruiser will be just fine next to another car! Besides, that was my spot for the last two years before you showed up lady!!

Ahhh my first blog!
