Happy Tuesday friends! I hope your week is off to a great start....I am back to the ole job his week so I am having major withdrawals of sipping coffee, blog reading, and catching up on KKTM. When I was thinking about what to post this morning, I figured I'd brag about this amazing weather we are having down in Dallas. Side Note: We never get to have California weather so I get to be excited when I can. This past weekend the hubs and I decided to take our afternoon outside and enjoy Klyde Warren Park park in Dallas. It is literally sandwiched between a major freeway and right smack dab in the heart of Dallas. The park has a little bit of everything. A huge playground for the kiddos, a dog park for the frenchies pups, and a long line of food trucks just waiting to feed your appetites (I waiting 45 minutes just for a hot dog...worth it). Word on the street is they are even building an outdoor skating rink...so exciting for us Dallas peeps. It's no Central Park, but it suit us Dallas folk just fine.

Pink and White
During our trip to San Francisco last month I had a chance to visit the Forever 21 boutique located in Union Square. The 3-story store was so much more than I imagined. Forever 21 is my favorite store to buy trendy tops or basics. It's cheap and (hate to say it) usually doesn't last too long, but it's great place to get my trend fix. I saw this pink blouse hanging in the window and knew that it belonged in my closet. It is a favorite of mine and the quality is up to par. The options are endless for this baby. After all, who can resist a bright pink blouse?

Hello Friday!
Happy Friday friends! I am especially excited about today because it is the start of my Spring Break. (Can I get an Amen?) I love being a teacher and I sure do love my kiddos but I love me some spring break. I feel like photo above captures the excitement between my coworkers and I perfectly, so I felt it was only fitting. No big plans yet...maybe a little road trip to Austin or San Antonio. All I know is that I am definelty wanting to reeeelax. As far as the weekend goes, we are a tad busy. A little trip to Ft. Worth is in the works to celebrate my 26th birthday with the hubby. Birthday dinner with family and friends is also on the list. I am looking forward to spending some of that birthday cash on this and that…maybe something from here thanks to some fabulous parents who read my blog and know this teacher likes to shop! ...
Snail Mail
I love sending and receiving mail. While it can be perceived as "old fashioned" there's something about a personal note that makes my heart happy...especially when its on pretty paper. In Hause Press might be my favorite shop on ETSY for paper goods This San Francisco company has a modern edge that I love. Whether you go with stationary, calling cards, or invitations, these letter pressed lovlies will sweep you off your feet.

Neiman Marcus Beauty Event
One of my favorite times at Neiman Marcus is when they host their Spring Beauty Event. I love buying makeup and getting some freebies makes it all the better.
This time, I decided to go with a classic and give Bobbi Brown a try. I have used her Shimmer Gloss and Shimmer Brick for many years but I wanted to give her foundation a try. I was determined to find something that would actually stay on my face and not wear off by 4:00.
The lady at the counter seemed pretty confident she could hook me up with something that would take care of that problem, however I had another issue I needed to deal with. She handed me a magnified mirror with lights and pointed out how dry my skin was. Then proceeded to tell me once you hit 25 you need to start using anti aging skin care and moisturize like it's your job. Cool, I'm turing 26 on Sunday and have yet to get on that. I was pretty embarrassed to admit that I only use moisturizer at night...if that. I just assumed since I was more oily, that I got a free pass on moisturizer. No? She put some of the hydrating face and eye cream on my face and I could tell right away my skin felt different. Maybe I was just "in the moment" but it felt amazing. We tested out a few foundations and I felt that the stick was a good starting point for me. I really like that you can put it on with this
