Wanderlust Wednesday: Scotland

October 11, 2017 No Comments

My friend, Marcy, has raved about the beauty and history of Scotland. In fact, she took her niece to Scotland a couple of years ago and returned with her nephew just this past summer. She fell in love with this country when she was in college, which may be one reason why her love of Scotland runs deep. Scotland is the U.K.’s northernmost country, and is the land of mountain wildernesses {think of the Highlands in the Starz series, Outlander, with the sexy Scotsman Sam Heughan}, interspersed with glacial glens {valleys} and lochs {lakes}.

“The stars at night are big and bright… deep in the heart of Texas!” As an early anniversary gift to my husband, I bought two tickets to see Aaron Watson at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. The show was called “A Night of Texas at the Ryman.” The all of the acts are all from the great state of Texas, and it was great to see these Texans perform at the Mother Church. Deep in my heart I’m a Texas girl, even though I’ve lived in East Tennessee longer than I lived in Texas. I grew up outside of […]

She is so classically cool that it would be easy to steal her style. “I share the same advise that my mom gave me – stay hydrated and sleep well. And that being a beautiful person on the inside is what matters.” This mother of two, soon to be three, is not only an actress, but she is a successful businesswoman, having co-founded The Honest Company […]

‘Tis the season for everything “pumpkin spiced”! Even my husband jumped on the pumpkin spice bandwagon and made some pumpkin butter, which is similar to apple butter, but tastes way better, especially during the Fall. As promised in yesterday’s blog post, I’m sharing five pumpkin spice recipes that will taste delicious any time of day, and one recipe for a pumpkin spice sugar scrub that will leave you smelling delicious!

What’s in My Bag, ft. Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis

October 7, 2017 No Comments

If you’ve ever read US Weekly, then you’ve seen their monthly feature called “What’s in My Bag”. I find it so fascinating to see what other people carry around with them. I actually shared the contents of my bag in a blog post back in 2012 when I carried my beloved Louis Vuitton Estrela. So in putting together today’s Blogtober “Day 7” post, I thought I’d give an update and share what’s in my bag. I currently carry the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis. It has three compartments and a zippered pocket on back. You can sling it over your shoulder, carry it by […]
