I love Instagram! They say “a picture says a thousand words” and this is true when it comes to Instagram. I love scrolling through photo after photo, discovering new people, new companies, and new destinations. In fact, I have found some really fabulous bloggers through Instagram. They embody the style and grace that I hope I display to my followers. Here are the “Top 5 Blogs” I’m enjoying right now: KERRently by Courtney Kerr You may recognize this lovely lady from Bravo’s docudrama “Most Eligible Dallas”, which lead to a spinoff, “Courtney Loves Dallas”.

Wish List Wednesday: Zara

On a couple of occasions, her birthday was actually on Mother’s Day (talk about special)! Since Mother’s Day is this coming weekend (May 8th), you better shake a leg and buy or make a […]
How to Use Oils in Your Beauty Routine
I’ve been using coconut oil, argon oil, and grapeseed oil in my beauty routine for years, but these oils have been used in beauty routines for centuries. My husband just recently joined Pinterest and one of the first things he discovered on Pinterest was how oils could help moisturize his itchy beard. He had me run to the store and to Sally’s Beauty Supply to pick up a combination of grapeseed, jojoba, and almond oils. I already had coconut oil (because I cook with it) and Josie Maran’s argon oil (which I picked up on sale from QVC). You can mix […]
