Foodie Friday: My First Real Starbucks Coffee?

Okay so maybe my title is misleading or incorrect but hear me out. I'm not a regular coffee drinker. Not the kind that wakes up needing coffee every single morning. You can say that I'm a seasonal coffee aficionado. I like to drink coffee once the seasons change and the weather is cooler and crisp. I drink it for warmth and comfort. Once the Texas heat is back (which can sometimes be year round) I go back to cooler drinks. And when I do drink coffee, I like it with half and half (not the yucky powder stuff), sugar and it's got to be decaf. Gasp!
Why decaf? Well when I was pregnant with my first child, my doctor said that she would prefer for me to drink decaf on the occasions I did have a cup or two. I did as she asked and guess what? I can't go back to regular coffee because I kinda get the shakes and I don't like it. So decaf it is and it doesn't bother me because I don't need it to wake up. Like I said, I drink it for warmth and comfort. Cof…

Slacker Mom = Tasty Cookie {recipe link}

Huh? Confusing title, I know, but it turned out to be true for me the night before my daughter’s Valentine class party. You see, I totally slacked this year for Valentine’s Day. No home décor, no crafts, no cute and fun treats for my kids to give to their friends or teachers. Nada. So when I realized on Thursday night (February 12th) that I had not done a thing for my daughter to take to school I panicked at the disco, y’all. And when I say it was Thursday night I mean it was like 9:35 p.m. Slacker mom. Especially since I made it a point to watch Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal (no slacking there!). Side note: I get my kids ready for bed on Thursday evenings during commericals. #dontjudge #youdoittoo
So like I said, I was in a panic and quickly decided that I would make sugar cookies and put them in little sandwich baggies with curled red ribbon. Easy enough BUT it was already late and although that is a simple recipe I did not want to take the time to soften the butter and I chan…

Just a Little Cubicle Decor {Fall/Autumn}

Happy Hump Day!! And depending what calendar you look at, it's the third day of Fall or the second day. At least that is what confused me. Anywho, I wanted to share a quick little autumn decor that I put up in my cubical at work. Ain't it pretty??

The owl is from WalMart and the beautiful, golden leaves are from Hobby Lobby as well as the pumpkin pick (40% off). And that's it for this post. Just a short little showing of how I dressed up my little work area. I plan to do more next week for Halloween but now I'm leaving it like this. The owl is too pretty though so I'm going back to get one for my house. And I'm off!

Beauty Talk: NYM Texturing Spray + Swisspers Blotting Paper

Happy Saturday! And happy to be chatting with you all. Finally. Again.

I wanted to talk about a couple of beauty items that I recently bought. One at Ulta and the other at Walmart. First off, Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturing Spray.

OMG I love this stuff and I've had it less than a month. And I only bought it because I had a Ulta coupon for $3.50 off $10. I needed bobby pins and hair spray and then I saw the NYM products. The packaging caught my shopping eye, I decided on two items and off I went. The other NYM product I bought is the Beach Babe conditioner but I have yet to use it. Okay so per the directions on the bottle, you spritz it in your dry or damp hair, style as you wish and you're done. I only used my hands to style it. I worked it in and "crunched" my hair here and there and voila I had a little hotness on my head and I was digging it. My hair naturally has a little oomph to it but this stuff really kicked it up a notch. See?

Don…
