After I posted a few photos with milkmaid braids, I had a bunch of people ask how I did them. Y'all, it is the easiest hairstyle ever! It is perfect for days when my hair is dirty and the ends are all crazy (because God knows what I do to my hair while I sleep). I just spray a little (or a lot) of my favorite dry shampoo, do some quick braids, and I am ready in no time! Sometimes I like to use my wand and add a little curl to the hairs in the front to fancy it up a bit. I hop

^^Completely clueless ^^Before the ring! ^^ After the ring!! ^^ I couldn't stop dancing around! haha ^^With our pilot I'M ENGAGED!!! The weekend was SO perfect and I have loved all of the sweet words and "congratulations!" Everyone has tons of questions, so I thought I would give y'all some answers ;-) How long have you been together? A long time! We got engaged just 2 weeks shy of our 13th anniversary. We met my freshman year of high school right after I moved to Louisiana.

Name La Vieille Ferme Vin Rouge Varietal Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah Country France Price $21.99 Let's talk about one of my favorite things: boxed wine.

And while I suppose you can "slap the bag" with any level of boxed wine, that isn't what this post is about. Don't be quick to judge a wine from a box, there are some really delicious options out there. We almost always h

I have received a bunch of questions asking about my skin. I have always struggled with combination skin and large pores. You would think by now I would have figured out on my own how to be blackhead free with porcelain skin? haha Nope, I still call my mom for help. I will admit, I do have the advantage of having an esthetician for a mother :-) Of course, I do still have breakouts and bad skin days, but sticking to a routine and using quality products has definitely helped my

Let me tell you something about probiotics. We were best friends in biology lab. I know, right? It’s so embarrassing. I don’t even...Whatever. So then in college, I started crushing on all things junk food, it was totally delicious, and my probiotics were like, weirdly jealous. Like, if I would blow them off and binge eat tacos, my body would be like, “why didn’t you take your probiotics?” And I’d be like, “Why are you so out of whack?” So then, I started feeling sluggish and

I have been on the hunt for the perfect wool coat for what seems like forever! Living in Oklahoma, I didn't need anything too heavy, but it still needed to keep me warm. After much searching, ordering, and returning, I think I have found 'the one'. The best part, it is under $150! This ASOS wool trench kept me cozy all winter (we had a very mild winter this year) and is light enough to carry me into spring. I love the detail of the funnel neck and belt. Another look I am lovi
