It's no secret that I love the fair. Not just any fair, but the Texas State Fair. Nothing is quite like it. It's a great time of year for many reasons... 1. Fall is quickly approaching 2. Cooler weather is on the way (hopefully!) and 3. It takes me back to sweet memories with my husband. We go to the fair every year and always partake in one crazy food item and one Fletcher's Corn Dog. This year I didn't get to crazy and just went straight for the fried oreo. So good! If you are coming to the fair I recommend this site to help guide you. It gives you a detailed schedule of all the events and fills you in on all the delicious food options. My top picks- Fletcher's Corn Dogs (a must), fried oreos, bacon cinnamon rolls, fried nutella (didn't try it but everyone who did raved about it), and salt water taffy. All good for the diet of course! Happy fair days my friends!

Card Swag
Business cards? What are those? That's how I felt when people asked me for one and I looked like a deer in the headlights since 1. I didn't have any because 2. who the heck would want my business card. To my surprise, opportunities came to to where I needed some card swag and was empty handed. Like, I'm writing down my info on a Post-It. In Neiman Marcus. That's professional.
With that being said, I was convinced to get on this. I really wanted letterpress, but thought for the first time maybe not. Let's just see how this round goes and maybe I'll make the investment next time around. I wanted a design that was simple and clean but also incorporated my brand. I love how they turned out. I can't take credit for these though, my husband actually designed these. He is pretty stinkin' good in my opinion. I printed them from moo.com and couldn't be happier. I went with their luxe paper, sounds fancy right? It is. They are like letterpress just a little more affordable. They turned out awesome. Black outer lining and super thick. These bad boys should do the trick for now! ...

Too bad it's only Monday..got a little while to wait. Anyways, today I am wearing one of my favorite jackets. This blush color is seriously a favorite of mine and I love wearing it all year long. ...
Beauty Talk | Styling Essentials
For 8 years I worked in a salon. Not as a hairstylist, but a Beauty Advisor, if you will. Sadly, I don't get to help out any more during summers or holiday breaks, but I still enjoy staying up-to-date on the latest hair fads and product favorites. I have always been one to try and "recreate" the At Home Blowout but let's be honest, it's hard! I would much rather invest my time sipping some champagne at The Dry Bar any day, but that just isn't practical for my daily routine. I found some products that do an awesome job at making your hair look and feel like it's just received the royal treatment. Enjoy!! ...
