Since I've Been Gone...

In one of my last posts I said that I was off to Hollywood. I know that I have not posted for awhile and there could have been a chance that in that time I decided to stay put in the happiest place on earth, or perhaps bought a surf shack and learned the sport in the OC, or even by a more slim possibility that I decided to take up acting and start trying to earn an Oscar. Unfortunately none of those scenarios happened, though they all sound like fun! In reality I am just really late on posting so here is a photo overload:

We had such a blast! From Huntington Beach to Malibu we explored the entire area and enjoyed everything California has to offer. I never get tired of visiting that state and can not wait to get back there! 

Who Says Texas Girls Can't Have Good Hair Days?

Houston is notorious for bad hair days. With humidity levels that are through the roof it is not uncommon to spend up to an hour on your 'do, only to have it fall flat the second you walk out the door. At times falling flat is the least of your worries, because at other times the weather will also leave your hair full of static. I don't know about you, but the I just stuck my finger in a light socket is not the look that I am going for..ever! 

 Always on the lookout for new products to combat the inevitable I was excited to receive the Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream from Glamour to sample. The cream contains encapsulated olive oil spheres which help to renew shine and fight frizz all day. 

Yesterday I first tried it out while getting ready to go to an outdoor concert. I figured if it would hold up to that then it would work in any condition! The results were very good! After seven hours in the blaring heat there was no static to be found and my hair was still shiny! 

Another plus for this product is that you only use a pea size amount each day, so it will last for quite some time. That is something that I always like to factor in when buying salon brands! 

All in all I say the Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream is one to check out..and that even Texas girls can hair good hair days with the right products! 

And I'm Off!!

 

 And upon my return you should expect lots 'o pictures, many may possibly include mouse ears, palm trees and random beaches. Also with any luck you may also get celebrity spotting stories and with a whole lot of luck maybe yours truly will meet Robert Downey Jr. Honestly I am not holding my breath on the last one, but hey what is life without a dream!

On My Radar

This week I am loving chain detailing. So rocker chic! 

Stella McCartney consistently makes swoon worthy bags and the 'Falabella Cracle' is no exception. The spearmint shade is gorgeous! 

The MICHAEL Michael Kors Oversize Chelsea Python-Embossed Clutch is such a great neutral in gunmetal! 

And for the girl who does not want to throw down their mortgage payment for the Stella McCartney, or their car payment for Michael, Express has their Chain Wrapped Envelope Clutch for a steal! I must say that I saw this one in the store and the quality and look were great! 

Happy Monday

Have a great week everyone!!!

Weekend Recap

The weekend was cut short due to overtime, but I still had time to get some necessities done..such as packing for my upcoming trip, and like 1,000,0000,000,000 others out there making up a wish list for what I would do when I hit the lottery. Obviously the lottery list will have to wait, but such is life! 

Studying took up part of my day. My company has enrolled me in Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish. If you have wanted to learn a new language this is really a great way to go about it. I had gone back and forth about purchasing Rosetta Stone in the past, but it is pretty pricey. When I found out my work was going to cover it I felt very fortunate. Once I master Spanish I have plans to purchase the French lesson myself. After working with it I do feel it is well worth the money. 

Fighting with the pharmacy/Aetna trying to get my acid reflux pills took up most of my afternoon. After several hours and $98 I now have 15 pills! According to the insurance website I should have gotten 30 pills for a $50 copay, but they always have a loophole! One month they pay, the next month you have a hassle. It is enough to make you want to pull your teeth out...but don't expect the insurance company to pay for dental work either! 

My lunch date makes any silly worries go out the window though! 

I hope you all are having a fun and eventful weekend!!
