Gift Idea For Those You Are Pinterested In!

So many times I will pin a fabulous cocktail, chic outfit inspiration or a great quote to remember for the day. After I pin it, it goes into my little board never to be seen or heard from again. Occasionally, I'll go back and look at that pin again, but usually it just gets lost in the shuffle.

I generally find that if I have a problem, friends will have a similar problem. Everyone is always going to be proud of their pinterest boards, so why not show it off for them. Make your friends a book filled with all of their pinterest pins this Christmas! Clever, I know, you're welcome.

I would separate the book out by chapters, each chapter being their new board. If it is a cocktail you are placing in the book, be sure to include the recipe for them!

I will probably make one for myself first, ya know, just to test out the system and know that it will be cute! Here are the sites I recommend to use for photo books.

blurb.com

shutterfly.com

mixbook.com

picaboo.com

I would personally recommend blurb.com because you can download a copy of your book for the ipad for just $1.99 on blurb! Have fun!

Weekend in the Rearview

I had a fabulous weekend with my partner in crime Magen! She came to Dallas for the first time to visit me. We had a fabulous (and by fabulous I mean uber-fabulous) brunch on Saturday at Bistro 31 in Highland Park with champagne and bloody mary's! The night before we pampered ourselves to blowouts at dry bar in Plano followed by dinner at Taco Diner, a Dallas staple. Then Saturday night we painted the town red in Uptown with dinner at Cru and drinks afterwards.

It was a fabulous weekend and much needed. I found some cute Christmas cards at Northpark mall, and you can see all of our purchases stacked up on my Kitchen Island. Successful is an understatement!

I also used Magen's visit as an excuse to finally properly stock my bar cart! Loving having this addition to my cozy little apartment!

So this happened...

So I have two jobs technically. One is the 8-5 position, the other is freelance for my favorite group of people at Fusion Tanning Studios. I just love everything about the beauty industry and thoroughly enjoy doing marketing and graphic design geared toward women, so it really doesn't feel like work (even though I have been averaging 30+ hours a week!). #overloaded

In Nashville this weekend was the Smart Tan Tanning Convention. This is when the entire industry basically just gets together and celebrates with cocktails and new product launches. Incidentally  I forgot to spray tan before I went, so I stuck out like a sore thumb... ah well!

Well, I am a DIE HARD Dallas Cowboys fan, mostly because they always seem to produce the cutest payers (Tony Romo, Jason Witten... look em up). Well, in Nashville THIS happened....

How pretty are they! I thought about checking this off as "Meeting a celebrity" on my 30 by 30 list, but seeing as  I couldn't tell you their names I've decided to just enjoy the experience!

Fun right? Go COWBOYS!!
