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

Do In Dallas | Warby Parker Bus
Back in 8th grade I tricked my parents into thinking I needed glasses. After many days of convincing, we went to the eye doctor. As you could probably guess, I didn't do to well on my eye exam and ended up "needing" glasses. I was so pumped and thought I looked so cool...until I got massive headaches and my eyes hurt. Bummer!
Well, with all that said you could only imagine how excited I was to find out that Warby Parker was coming to Dallas. If you don't know, Warby Parker is an eyewear company that makes both prescription and non prescription glasses for only $95. They also have an amazing selection of sunglasses too! When you make a purchase they will donate a pair of glasses to someone in need. Awesome! Warby Parker is based in NYC but they are currently touring select cities in their decked out "school bus". I was so excited to hear Dallas was on their list of stops. If you live in the area...go check it out! They leave Dallas tomorrow, Sunday, Jan. 27th. In the mean time, I will be sporting my new specs headache free. ...

5 Shoe Styles We Are Seeing Everywhere (and will continue to wear in 2024)
It's definitely been the year of flats, and I have zero complaints. We've seen ballet flats to retro sneakers become quite popular again in 2023. Some would argue that they've always been popular, but as of late, it seems these styles are in demand more than most.
I've curated a selection that I believe will remain well-liked in 2024. And even if you're typically a devoted fan of heels, the picks below may just inspire a change of heart. Surprisingly, the variety of stylish flat shoe options is more extensive than one might expect. ...
