Alright y’all, March is here. Really, today is the last day in February. Can you believe it?! I know I can’t! Spring is SUCH a busy time for me, with weddings, trips, Lipstick and Linebackers, March Madness, and just everyday life; so it’s important for me to stay organized. I have always been a neat freak, and I like everything planned down to the last detail. Some would call this anal (Marshall), others would call it a great way to live (me)! Hahaha!!! One way I always keep myself on track is by using a planner. (more…)

Hey y’all! You might love or hate it, but Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! When I was single, Valentine’s Day was just another day in February for me, except my first valentine (Kevvy) would get me a cute card and candy (side note Paigey would also get me candy and a card)! When I got to college, my dad would also send me money (A+ valentine! I know he’s the best!). No matter what, I always knew I was getting something from him (and I still do).

So when Marshall and I started dating, I was SO excited to celebrate a real Valentine’s Day with someone. Let me give you a run down of the Valentine’s days throughout our relationship, and how wonderfully they turned out (hahaha NOT). (more…)

Alright y’all its January 11th, and this month has already been crazy; I have been from Fort Worth to Houston three times, my sweet Paigey and Rachi Rose had birthdays, I started a diet (aka no birthday cake), and I’ve watched a lot of basketball. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, because honestly I haven’t had a second to sit down and write. I wrote a post that I had fully intended on posting last week, but after re-reading it I was straight up hangry, and I promise you no one wants a hangry post.

So if y’all are wondering if this new diet is my New Year resolution, the answer is no. This year instead of setting a resolution that is damn near impossible for me to obtain, I am going to make a promise to myself to be the best person I can be on the inside and out. I am on this diet, not because society tells me I need to be skinny, but because I want to be healthier.

LUGGAGE TAG||

Christmas is over, the New Year is quickly approaching, and during the next few days there will be lots of football games being played. This frog fan is packing up and headed to the Alamo Bowl, but as I am leaving my house I am torn on how I feel about these special Holiday games, especially after watching several these last few days. I use to be very pro- bowl games, and extremely pro-playing your very best players in these last games. In the past few years though we have seen players who are trying to make it into the NFL sit out of their games (unless they were in the playoffs), in order to prepare for the NFL, and not to risk any injuries. Last year while being an intern for the Senior Bowl I watched players up to the night before the game back out of playing so the didn’t “risk” any injuries. On the other hand, I have seen players who choose to risk it all in their bowls and the Senior Bowl, go onto the NFL and do wonderful things (hello Dak Prescott).

So here is what I would tell these young men: “This is your last EVER college game to showcase your talents. If you think that scouts don’t watch these games, you are wrong. This game could be make-it-or-break-it when deciding whether or not to give you an invitation to the NFL draft. Go run out of that tunnel one more time with your team and show everyone what YOU are made of!!”

Ultimately it’s the players’ decision on whether they want to play or sit out. At the end of the day, the players will make the choice that is best for them, and their future. I wish all of these young men the best of luck in all of their endeavors.

I want to leave you guys with this question: Should we even have all these bowl games, or just eliminate them as a whole and only have the playoffs? What do y’all think? Let me know in the comments section below!

Hey y’all!! So I first want to apologize and let y’all know why I have been MIA these last 2 weeks. Well first things first, I was in a wedding in Louisiana for my bestie since 1st grade, and then my other bestie graduated from college!! WAHOO! So many milestones (and that lasted from Thursday-Sunday of last week), but on top of all of those fabulous things, … I got sick. Not like a cold sick, but like a sinus infection and strep throat sick.

 

I am finally feeling better and have gotten to go out and do a little last minute Christmas shopping! While out, I was hesitant to say Merry Christmas to people. That is not like me at all. I always want to spread the Christmas cheer, but this year with everything going on in our world, I have resorted to saying “Happy Holidays” instead. I always want to be politically correct, and I understand that everyone has different views, but at the same time, I want everyone who does have the same views as me to get that Christmas cheer. After thinking about it for a while, I decided that it was silly for me not to say Merry Christmas. I want to ask y’all, which do you do? Do you say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or simply nothing at all??

 

PS: One of my purchases from my little shopping spree was this CUTE #elfie shirt and ball earrings! Oh and my shoes on are sale and under $60!!! Just click on the links above to take you straight to the sites!

Okay y’all, so I am the world’s WORST about eating healthy over the Holidays, but this year I’ve been trying really hard to eat right. Normally, I would be shelling these pecans for my mom so she can make chocolate covered pecans (seriously, they are SOOOO good), but today I am going to make the smart decision to resist these lovely snacks. So today’s post is about eating this and not that over the holidays!

 

Eat This Not That

Breakfast:

EAT a breakfast taco NOT breakfast casserole

EAT oatmeal and brown sugar NOT donuts

 

Main Dish:

EAT turkey NOT prime rib

EAT cauliflower pizza NOT late night Dominos

EAT zucchini pasta with pesto NOT pasta and red sauce

 

Sides/Appetizers:

EAT cauliflower mash NOT mashed potatoes

EAT shrimp cocktail NOT shrimp dip

EAT veggies and hummus NOT veggies and ranch dip

 

Desserts:

EAT candied pecans NOT chocolate covered pecans

EAT oatmeal raisin cookies NOT chocolate chip cookies

EAT coconut cream pie NOT key lime pie (this one shocked me!)

Now I know it’s not easy to eat healthy all the time, and we will all deserve to splurge every now and then; so if you want the chocolate chip cookie, eat the cookie!! The most important part of the Holidays is being with friends and family, not what you’re doing or what you are eating. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

 

PS: If y’all have any other “eat this not that” tips feel free to message me, or leave me a comment!

If y’all know me, you know I LOVE Christmas Movies. My TV has been glued on the Hallmark Channel since way before Thanksgiving. I know, I know, some people think the Hallmark channels are lame; but there is no shame in my game. I watch Hallmark year round, but especially during the Holidays. No joke, my DaDi (mom’s dad) has seen every single Hallmark movie there is. We seriously can’t watch re-runs with him anymore, because he has seen them all. Did y’all know a HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MUSEUM is opening in NYC (my favorite city)?? I was so excited when I heard about it! Hallmark definitely has the market when it comes to Christmas movies. They have a new Christmas movie every night, and also play the old movies all day everyday.
