Thanksgiving Meal Plan

Hey yall happy Monday! I am excited to start another week, especially the week of thanksgiving! I have never been much of a cook but this year moving in with my fiancé, I've been cooking a lot more and have actually started to enjoy it. Especially when I try making something I never have and it comes out tasting amazing. So I thought what a better way to put my "cooking skills" to the test and cook for thanksgiving. Today I am sharing with you my meal plan I have laid out for Thursday. I hope this will give you a little inspiration on what to cook if you're having a hard time trying to figure it out. As far as how it will taste, well I will get back to you after thankgiving. lol CHEERS to cooking all day and stuffing your face with no regrets!!

My granny's famous cheesecake, easy as pie

They're so many things I am thankful for this year and ill start with today. I am thankful for each and everyday that I wake up, the gift of life is what I am most thankful for. God has blessed me tremendously this year and I am forever grateful for his love. I started this thing a couple months ago, each day I wake up and before I start my day I will name off five different things I am thankful for. Whether it be the bed you lay in, the person next to you, being able to see and hear or just simply the breath of life. It has helped me start my day with such a grateful heart and I believe that's how it should be. As Oprah Winfrey would say "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have you will never, ever have enough".

XOXO-

Engagment Story

Calvin and I landed in San Diego, California Wednesday evening and headed straight to our destination in La Jolla, a small tourist town right outside of San Diego. I was so ready to go down to the beach and relax but Calvin insisted that we get ready for dinner and then go to the beach. I asked Calvin what should I wear something casual or dressy he says he’s going to dress casual so I’m thinking dinner is nothing fancy and we are just going to go down to the beach and watch the sunset before dinner. We get down to the “spot” right off the La Jolla cove, this view is amazing!! I see stairs and immediately want to go down but Calvin insisted again that we should go where there is less people, so he starts walking towards people?? Half way to the bridge where he wants to go he then stops and says wait lets go back so there we go turning around going down to the same stairs I had originally said lets go to. Little did I know that he was trying to figure out the spot the p...

Grateful for Twenty-Three

Good Morning Loves! Today's my BIRTHDAY, I am turning 23 years old the oldest I've ever been! Seem like now-a-days the years just keep going by faster, but I am thankful to have lived another one. This morning I am celebrating with my family and three banana pancakes, from the best granny. To continue the celebration Calvin and I are headed to San Antonio this weekend. I am so excited to have a fulfilled weekend with him doing some of my favorite things. Thursday we plan on going out on the town for a little dancing, Friday we are floating the river, and Saturday calls for a relaxing spa day. This shoot has to be one of my favorites, we took these pictures at a local Ice Cream Shop Holly Hops. What's a better way to celebrate your birthday than with some cake batter ice cream?! SOO DELICIOUS! Todays outfit is so fun and bright. Who else loves wearing yellow in the summer? Brings out your tan, even if you don't have one. LOL Hoping to add some color to me t...

Night Time Facial Routine

Holaaa I'm finally back in west texas and although I had a great time in Chicago for the Ace Hardware Convention I am also ready to get back in routine and be sleeping in my own bed. lol Today I am sharing with you my Night Time Facial Routine. Some of these products I have been using for a while but others will change from time to time. I love trying new products but I do have very sensitive skin so i'm always on the look out for something all natural that won't dry out my face. This routine has been working out great for me and leaves my face looking great in the morning without having to apply a lot of face foundation. I first begin with my everyday facial cleaner @puritymadesimple it’s a game changer and takes off my makeup very well. It leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out. Then I'll use my favorite @thayers witch hazel toner. This helps even out my skin tone and leaves my skin sooo soft (works great as a moisture as well)! I try to do a faci...
