Trash the Dress

Most women want to preserve their wedding dress to pass down to their daughter or just as a keepsake.  However, I believe my daughter will probably want to wear her own wedding dress, so I decided to "trash" my dress.  I don't know if you...

Rebecca Minkoff

I have been searching diligently for a bold, red bag.  Well, after much searching, I found one.  It's the Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo bag and I love it.  It is so roomy and has lots of interior pockets.  This is a much needed feature with a little...

Windy Afternoon

This has been the best winter I have ever had in my life!  Arizona's winters truly are the best.  The temperature has averaged between 65-70 degrees with very little to no humidity and it has been awesome.  Even when the temperature dipped earlier this...

Love Those Lashes

I recently attended a fun makeup party at a friend's house.  We had a blast, and the thing I loved most was that the makeup artist (Tonya Strozier) allowed us to put on our own makeup.  She didn't just apply the makeup for us, but allowed us to create our...

Pink Door

I love pink.  I saw this pink door, and I had to stop to take some pics.   The monsoon season is here, so we had to to hurry because a storm was moving in.  It was still beautiful and pleasant outdoors. Blazer (Trina Turk), Minnie pant (J.Crew), sunglasses (Prada),...

Christmas Is Near

I love Christmas --- the smell of fresh cut Christmas trees, Christmas carols, dinner parties, and most important is the celebration of my Savior Jesus Christ's birth.  However, I hate getting involved in the hustle and bustle of shopping.  Long lines and...

She's beautiful, elegant, exudes confidence, and is a force to be reckoned with.  Did I mention she's only 16 years old?  Meet Nyasha Matonhodze whose flourishing modeling career began when she was only 14.  She is gracing the catwalks of all things couture.  You can...

Bayou Classic XXXVIII – New Orleans

Attending the Bayou Classic is a tradition for my husband's family.  All of us are Southern University graduates, so we share the same love for our alma mater.  This year, we attended the Bayou Classic in New Orleans at the Superdome together.  Although...

80 Degrees

It's pleasant outside right now, but the high today is supposed to reach 80 degrees!  The winters here are always predictable --- by noon, a high of 70-75 is expected and sunshine for weeks at a time is normal.    I thought we were done with the...

Lovely Day

I woke up this morning with the song, "Lovely Day," in my head.  The weather was beautiful and I was feeling great. I actually found a pair of pre-pregnancy minnie pants in my closet that I can still wear!  I could not believe it.  Now that I am buying...
