New Fragrances to Add to Your Christmas List #NMBeauty

Giving the women in your life (or yourself) the gift of beautiful fragrances will never go out of style.  My love for perfumes grows with every new fragrance that hits the market.  Here are a few fragrances available at Neiman Marcus that you should add to your Christmas list.

5 Minute Facelift

I'm all about taking preventative measures when it comes to skincare.  Why wait till something falls apart before you try to do something about it.  I'll be on the high end of 30 this year.  I don't know about you, but I love getting those, "You don't even look 30!" comments.  Technology is so far advanced that we can age gracefully without going under the knife.  I've been giving myself a 5 min facelift using the NuFace Mini facial toning device.  

Estee Lauder Tote & Beauty Gift + Giveaway

Estee Lauder is offering a this gorgeous tote filled with goodies when you purchase $75 in product at Neiman Marcus!  The Estee Lauder beauty event is in stores and online until August 13.

Summer Beauty Routine

We are half-way through summer!  It has went by so fast! During the summer, we are kicking it outdoors in the hot sun so we have to take extra care of our skin.  I made a few changes from my old routine and trying out some new products for the summer. 

Father's Day Finds at Neimans

I still don't believe it's June already and Father's Day is next week!  Father's Day has crept up on me.  Why is it so tough to shop for men?  I really feel they don't care what you get them as long as you let them play golf that day.  Any who... I found a few things that Mister may be excited about from Neiman Marcus for well under $200!

At Home Pedi 101 #NMBeauty

A few months ago I was watching a 20/20 (or Dateline) special and they were talking about how bad nail salons were.  It totally grossed me out.  As if I wasn't already freaked out, they interviewed a lady that had to some of her leg removed because of an infection at a nail salon.  Yeah, it feels good to have your feet rubbed but it's not worth me losing a leg.  With the proper tools, you can achieve summer ready feet.

YSL Kiss + Blush #NMBeauty

Even though I have big cabbage patch like cheeks, I love blush.  I feel like I look weird without it.  Lipstick is another item that I can't go without.  Mega brand, Yves Saint Laurent recently released Baby Doll Kiss & Blush.  Kiss & Blush is a two-in-one lip and cheek color with a matte finish.

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: All White

Happy Memorial Day weekend!  I'm excited to spending time with family during this long weekend.  When I think of Memorial Day, I think of all white parties.  For this Mamanista Friday, Aracely and I could not be more opposites.  While Aracely slayed in her all white, I took a more casual approach.  

Mother's Day Gift Idea: Lipstick with a Message

I recently received the most awesome gift ever from Neiman Marcus that I can't stop talking about.  I received the Guerlain Le Rouge Lipstick.  I know your wondering what's the big deal about a lipstick.  Not only is my Guerlain lipstick in a bright deep berry color (Garconne), it has my name on it! A shed a tear when I saw it was made special for me.  

Tory Burch Fragrance has Arrived

Most of you already own one of Tory Burch's beautiful tunics or must have flats.  Now you can add Tory Burch Beauty to the list.  Tory Burch's first fragrance has landed at Neiman Marcus.

Glamglow Eye + Hydrating Treatment: Before/After

The winter has taken a toll on my skin.  I can’t recall my face ever being this dry.  I look like a shedding snake.  Even my regular moisturizer that I swore by isn't doing the trick.  Of course I need to drink more water but nothing has changed with my water intake.   What’s a lady to do?  Well, Glamglow saves the day! 

DVF Wrap Dress Turns 40

It's hard to believe that Diane Von Furstenberg's iconic wrap dress is 40 years old!  Talk about classic style!  Every woman should own at least one DVF wrap dress in their life!

Pout-O-Matic by Bliss

I've shared my trials and tribulation with you guys about with my dry and peeling lips.  I must not be the only one because Bliss recently introduced the Fabulips Pout-O-Matic device and sugar lips scrub.

Mama Must Have: Clarisonic Pedi #NMBeauty

Spring is coming and my inbox is full of emails about new sandal arrivals.  Eeek!  My feet have been hibernating in Uggs all winter.  Luckily I've been using the new Clarisonic Pedi. The leader in sonic technology skincare, Clarisonic, recently introduced Pedi.  The Clarisonic Pedi transforms rough, dry feet and toes better than manual buffing.  Thanks to the Pedi, I won't have to contemplate getting a foot transplant before sandal season. 

Mamanista Fridays: Winter Plaid

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Plaid is one of my favorite trends from fall.  I'm pretty sure it will stick around for the Spring and beyond.  I've dabbled with plaid here and here, but today I am going full on with some plaid pants for Mamanista Fridays!

Free Polish & New Perfume by Balenciaga

Balenciaga introduces it's second scent from their enchanted garden, Rosabotanica.  Every four or five years a fragrance comes along and that makes you throw your hands up and say "Yaaas!"  The Balenciaga Rosabotanica is it for me!  Please excuse Peyton's photo bombing doll, she really wanted her in the pictures. 

Doll not included

Tom Ford Grooming + Skincare for Men

Tom Ford believes that every well dressed man should have great skincare.  I feel you Tom!  Exclusive for Neiman Marcus, Tom Ford introduces his eight-piece skincare collection for men.  Ford says “One of the simplest things a man can do to improve his looks is to combat dry lips and improve their smoothness and texture.” 

Neiman Marcus Gifts Under $100

We all have the task of finding that perfect gift for family and friends.  I'm so over breaking the bank on Christmas gifts so I put together some of my fabulous finds under $100 from Neiman Marcus.

My Comfy Thanksgiving Outfit

Since Thanksgiving is all about eating (and giving thanks), I like to wear something with a lot of room and that stretches.  Lawd knows I wanted to wear leggings and a t-shirt but since we had dinner at my Aunt-in-law's home, I figured I should wear some real clothes.
