euphoria Calvin Klein: A Radiant Gift For Mother’s Day #MC

May 5, 2014

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for euphoria Calvin Klein. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

Mother’s Day is this weekend. We all know how much Mom’s do for us and want to make them feel extra special on Mother’s day. Growing up I didn’t always appreciate my Mom like I do now…but I’m so blessed to have her as my Mom.

My Mom did so much for us. She gave birth to twins (I can’t imagine), cleaned our bottoms, fed us, took us shopping for clothes as teens (the horror!), and so much more I’d have to write a book on everything my Mom has done for us.

Every year I always try to get my Mom flowers or a corsage. Anything to make her feel special on Mother’s day & remind her how much I love her. My hope is every time she looks at it she feels special 🙂

This year Macy’s has a great deal for Mother’s day. If you purchase a euphoria Calvin Klein perfume, you will also receive a beautiful potted Orchid.

You can purchase this deal online or in the store. Your gift will be added automatically at checkout with any qualifying euphoria Calvin Klein item. Available while supplies last. A list of Macy’s stores can be found HERE.
The Orchid is so beautiful! It arrived at my doorstep in perfect condition and I’ve been enjoying it ever since. The perfume is a polished scent with notes of pomegranate, persimmon, lotus blossom, and mahogany. I’ve really enjoyed wearing it. My husband likes it too!

Sometimes as a Mom you don’t always feel “put together”, but spraying on a beautiful scent can automatically make you feel good and change your mood. For some reason when I spray my favorite perfume on in the morning I feel like I’m ready to face the day.

The euphoria Calvin Klein perfume is perfectly paired with the Orchid for a special Mother’s day gift. As a mom I can tell you that I would love to get this on Mother’s day 🙂

Hurry! This deal ends on May 12.
Connor took this picture of me. He always calls me “his princess”. He’s such a sweet boy 🙂 I love being his Mommy and I’m even more excited because we are going to visit MY mommy next week in Arkansas. I haven’t seen my Mom since Christmas, so it’s going to be an extra special time. I can’t wait to tell her how much I love her and how thankful I am for everything she’s ever done for me.

We hope you all have a blessed Mother’s day and don’t forget to tell your Mom how much you love her!

Reebok Skyscape: The Perfect Summer Shoe

April 28, 2014

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I received a Kohl’s gift card to purchase a pair of #Reebok Skyscape shoes in order to facilitate this review and all opinions are my own.”

Have you ever tried on a pair of shoes and you knew immediately that they were “da bomb”? Okay…that’s how I felt about these new Reebok Skyscape shoes.

I headed to Kohl’s to pick some up, unfortunately they weren’t at my store, so I ordered them on the kiosk in the shoe department. It was super easy and if you order them in store you get free shipping! Within a few days they were at my doorstep.

When I first tried on my new Reebok Skyscape shoes the first thing I noticed was how light they were. They are so light it feels as if you are walking in slippers, but you have the support of a tennis shoe all wrapped up in one.

I’ve been looking for a cute pair of tennis shoes that are easy, casual, and cute too! I do a lot of photo shoots on the weekends and these are great for running around and they are SO comfortable. I kid you not. I am super picky when it comes to finding shoes and these are by far my favorite. I’ve worn them all weekend-just ask my hubby.

I feel like I’m walking on air. This is the perfect shoe for traveling, walking around, running errands. It’s a great light and airy shoe for everyday wear.

I may never take these shoes off. They are really some of the best shoes I’ve owned in a long time. I didn’t know a casual (and good looking) tennis shoe could be so comfortable at the same time. They are also machine washable, which I love!

The Reebok Skyscape comes in several fun colors:

These are, in my opinion, the perfect shoe for summer! I can’t wait to wear these all season long.

Sometimes You Need to Slow Down…

October 24, 2013

I’ve got so much going on that I’ve got to slow down a little bit before I run myself ragged. It seems like every weekend something is going on. I’m finally getting my hair done after neglecting it for the past 5 months. I’m really trying to be patient and grow it out….but it’s in such an awkward phase right now.

The one thing I don’t want to do is put my family on the back burner…as soon as mid November hits I’m just going to relax and really start hitting the gym hardcore. I was doing really good at going, then we went out-of-town and this week I’ve had a good life long friend visiting. We had a great time & I’m trying to get her to move here 🙂 *hint* *hint*

I went to my annual lady visit and seriously nearly stroked out when she weighed me. Something had GOTSTA change. I’m just not gonna let this happen dang it!

So I was driving down the street the other day and I passed a farm stand with the most gorgeous mums. I keep telling Terence how much I love mums and wanted to get some. So I peeled into that parking lot like a hot tamale and got me one! Purple, TCU purple ya know…because that’s how we are around these parts. My love bug in the back seat rolling. He loves wearing those sunglasses. My friend Ellen (the one who came to visit this weekend) makes the most GORGEOUS jewels. Go check out her site HERE and show some bling love! My October Birchbox finally arrived. It was a tad late. I like it “okay” I want more MAKEUP!!!! Eyeshadow, lipstick, blush….blah blah blah. MAKEUP. Okay I’m done.
Hope y’all are having a fab Thursday…don’t forget the Mug Swap linkup is tomorrow if you signed up and and haven’t sent yours out or recieved one yet please email me!!!! xo Becky

My First StitchFix

October 2, 2013

I received my first Stitchfix box yesterday after hearing about it in the blog world. I liked a lot of the things that were in the box, but most of it was more than I would spend on clothing. My stylist did do a good job with the fit and function of the items she chose. Overall, I like the idea of Stitchfix, it just needs to be more in my price range. I’m not really label conscious so I don’t care as long as it looks good.The first item was this bohemian style top. I liked the print a lot. For $68 this wasn’t on my “I’ve gotta have it list”. (And sorry for the horrible selfies & dirty mirror photos….every now and then I do clean them 😉 Also, I just got off work and didn’t fix myself up & have had allergy sickies all week so I look like blah…but still wanted to share what I thought.I loved this asymmetrical zipper sweater. This was my 2nd favorite. The style was very flattering and this was the least expensive item at $48. It was kind of itchy, so it probably had some wool in it. I’d have to wear a tank underneath.
This silky gray top was probably my least favorite. It was a bit too low-cut and for $68 nahhhhh.I absolutely LOVED this sweater by Kensie. It is reversable so you can wear it either black or cream side. It’s also SUPER soft! I kept this item.
The other side…And lastly I got a pair of cranberry skinnies. I just don’t think I look good in skinnies. I do own some and I do like them with boots and things. I just don’t think I have anything that goes with this color. They were really soft and comfy though and the fit was spot on!So that is my first Stitchfix experience! I liked that you can fill out a style profile and have a stylist choose things for you. It was really nice because in stores I get overwhelmed. I’m going to wait a bit for my next box. It’s a great idea though and I have to say it was really fun to have all this delivered right to your doorstep! If you want you can check out Stitchfix and fill out your profile too! It’s a lot of fun and you get to have your own little fashion show. Hope y’all are having a great week! Come on cooler temps where are you???

My Favorite Camera Accessory #ModStraps

August 23, 2013

I wanted to share with you all today one of my FAVORITE camera accessories of all time. It’s called the mod. strap. It’s the most comfortable & stylish camera strap I’ve ever owned.

Mod. straps just introduced a new sequined line of camera straps and I’m in love! Of course you know I’m a lover of all things bling bling.

So, without further ado here she is in all her glory:

The sun-kissed bling bling mod. strap
