Getting your pre-baby hair back




Every mama I know has gone through it, the dreaded post-baby hair loss😱. Other than just being completely annoying, losing your hair's volume is the last thing you need when you already feel like a sleep deprived zombie.  I decided this time around I was going to try to do something about it, and after some research and recommendations from beauty expert friends, I tried pura d'or Hair Thinning Therapy Energizing Scalp Serum. When I first read serum, I was worried it would be sticky or greasy, but I can easily apply it to my scalp, and then head to work. After using it for about a week, I noticed a significant decrease in the amount of shedding, like WHOAH, the shedding just came to a hault (much to the delight of all whom share a shower with me...which is everyone because I have no privacy). And at first I thought it was my imagination, but I targeted some thinner areas on my scalp, and they looked thicker within a few days. DAYS. It was like a little mini miracle in a bottle. Absolutely loving the volume this product provides after just a couple of weeks of use, and I can't wait to see how my tresses look after a longer period of time. If your locks need a little love, you can give pura d'or a try here.

MINI Motoring Challenge May 29th-31st



The MINI Motoring Challenge is coming to Houston!  

Ever wanted to play speed racer in a MINI?? Yeah, me too. The MINI motoring challenge will allow you to make that tire burning dream come true. To get more specific, it's a test drive event where MINI lets you drive their newest 2 and 4 door Hardtops on closed-course autocross tracks.  This "Ride & Drive" as they call it in the auto industry, is pretty common, but of course MINI takes it up a notch.

First of all, it takes place at night, with local food trucks, a silent disco, The famous Bumbys (just in case you need a fair and honest appraisal of your appearance), and live screen printing where you can make your own custom t-shirts....which could totally be trouble.   


The driving (or motoring, as MINI calls it) is also quite kick ass. The three autocross tracks simulate a getaway drive, a pinball machine, and a famous British racetrack, respectively.  There are no speed limits on a closed course (even more trouble), or so I’m told, and as long as you can safely keep the car between the cones you are free to drive like Ricky Bobby (when he's not on fire). MINI has always been known for its legendary handling, but now the cars boast BMW Group turbo engines that make them faster and meaner than ever.  

The MINI Motoring Challenge is visiting several cities this year, and in Houston it will be at NRG Park on May 29th – 31st.  Check out www.minimotoringchallenge.com to RSVP.  The event is free, but spots are super duper limited.

MINI is also one of the most customizable cars you can buy.  Their website has THE coolest configurator where you can build out your dream car (I'll take the Union Jack mirror caps please), so go make your own little dreamy vehicle. 




This is a sponsored blog; while the views expressed here were 100% genuinely mine, consideration was paid to me by MINI Motoring Challenge to review this product

Date Night giveaway from Alamo Drafthouse!


A few weeks ago, my husband (Houston) and I were lucky enough to have a date night courtesy of our fabulous friends at the Alamo Drafthouse.  It was my first time visiting an Alamo Drafthouse, so I expected our trip to Vintage Park would be similar to all of the other foodie movie taverns I'd visited before. Boy was I wrong. My first clue, the amazing local and craft brews on tap at the bar.  I got our movie time wrong (oops), so we had some time to kill at the bar, and we were quite happy that we did. Houston was like a kid on Christmas morning when he realized they had a large barrel of Sailing Santa (Saint Arnold's), anxiously awaiting his arrival.  If you've never had a Sailing Santa, be sure track it down. Elissa + Christmas Ale = holiday hops happiness. It is released in a very limited supply, so the fact that Alamo Drafthouse had it was très impressive. I had a Bombshell Blonde (Southern Star), my personal favorite, and Houston was also able to squeeze in a Buried Hachet Stout before our showtime.

During the movie, the two of us absolutely destroyed our burgers, but we made sure to leave room for some dessert. We went with the hot out of the oven cookies. Ooooooh the cookies. We ordered two chocolate chip and two oatmeal raisin. I don't think Houston had more than a bite because I inhaled them before he had the chance. They were amazing.  I may or may not have also had a Long Island Iced Tea during the flick, but that's neither here nor there.    

Ready to have your own date night full of craft beers, cocktails,  savory food, and hot out of the oven cookies????

I thought you might:)

To ENTER for TWO movie tickets and a $50 gift card follow the simple instructions below...

1. Leave a comment below OR on our Facebook page. You can tell us why you deserve your own date night, what movie you'd see, or just a random fact about your life. Doesn't really matter, as long as you leave a comment, you're entered.

That's it:) but if you'd like extra entries....

Serente Spa Airbrush Tan


So you may have seen the unbelievable eyelashes I had a couple of weeks ago from when I visited Serente Spa for my first eyelash extensions. A week later (this post is super duper delayed), I went in to experience their Airbrush tan. As somebody who is a bit challenged in the pigment department, there are few services that I need more than this one. Brittney did an amazing job, and took her time making sure the color that she used was customized specifically for my skin. She even stopped spraying to adjust it a couple of times which was amazing. I could tell she really cared about making it the best match for my skin tone, and it was. Not too orange, not too dark. She also did some airbrush sculpting, where she shaded certain areas a bit to make them look more toned and defined. Pretty much making anyone unstoppable in bikini. Want your own? Contact them now to get 20% off your first pampering. Here's what you need to know to prep for your session:  

INFINITY SUN AIRBRUSH TANNING

To reduce skin damage and yet still look golden and
healthy, they offer the Infinity Sun sunless spray.
This all natural, anti aging spray tan is applied by a 
certified airbrush professional by hand, leaving the 
skin looking radiant and healthy with a 
natural-looking golden brown glow.

  • Shower, shave and exfoliate before your  appointment, removing all lotion, moisturizer and makeup from the face and body to ensure a clean 
  • After 8 hours the tan is fully developed and should be rinsed off
  • wear something loose and dark. Loose black maxi dresses work the best and wear flip flops! 
  • You're welcome to wear a swimsuit, just your skivvies, or go totally buff during the tan. It's up to you! 
One Tan 15 min/ $45
Bring a friend, book back to back-  30 min/ $80 total 
Party packages also available
