After a wedding or major event in your life you don’t realize how much your skin can take a beating. Pre-event you are primping and prepping (I spent upwards of $170 every month for a certain type of facial before the wedding! what?!?! redic!) but after you let it fall by the waste-side. My poor skin was in desperate need of a pick-me-up and fast. It was perfect timing when Casey Poe, of Esthetics 2 go, e-mailed me. Casey is a certified esthetician who comes to your house or office to perform your monthly skin peel. Let me say that one more time. She comes to your house or office!!!! Hello, convenience! 

One of my favorite parts was a) I didn’t have to leave my house and b) I didn’t have to get out of my pajamas all day (I was in my lounge clothes, feeling totally lazy when she arrived). Once she got inside she showed me all of the products and how they would work. She decided to use a Sensi Peel on me since it was my first treatment. It would create a baseline for future peels and would improve the texture and strength of my skin. She also used a pigment gel (which I bought and is amazing) for this lovely annoying issue I have developed.  

When she finished I was beyond ecstatic to receive a bag of products that I would use to continue the effects of the peel. I was so impressed with Casey and her knowledge of skin care that I asked how many times she could come back? Poor Brice! If you are in Dallas I highly recommend contacting Casey! Her peels are unreal, she is as sweet as they come, and she comes TO YOUR HOUSE! What more could you want?!

Last note: Brice was wowed by how great my skin looked the next few days! He couldn’t believe something so fast had such an effect. Had to tell you how well this works for a guy to notice! 🙂

I am obsessed with the Galisfly ring collection. They put the “knu” in knuckle rings. I have long been a fan of Glam Rock rings (you see them on the blog all the time) but after seeing the selection at Galisfly, I might be rocking a few new rings soon. I LOVE the shape of them and how they add an instant “coolness” to your look. 

Galisfly also offers a box set (seen above) that covers your every need (dainty, midi, and large). It is an answer to my ring prayers as I have been searching for the perfect set of everyday rings for what seems like forever. merci, merci, merci Galisfly.  

I must explain my lack of attention to the blog over the last few days. The most amazing and wonderful gift has been delivered to my family. My beautiful little nieces were born on June 25th, and are healthy, happy, and already the love of my life.  These two little girls have been long awaited so when I got the call from my sister-in-law that today was, “the day,” I first screamed, almost fainted, jumped up and down, teared up, and then realized I needed to go. After I hung up the phone I ran around the house trying to find everything I would need; camera, charger, cell phone, contacts, make-up, ect. Needless to say I left the house with work-out clothes, a pair of high heels, and two pairs of jeans. Typical.  

When I finally arrived from Dallas to Houston I was met at the elevator by my mom and brother, who was still wearing his scrubs with their foot prints stamped on it. I immeditely lost it. Something about seeing your big brother, the one who protected you your entire life, wearing two sets of little footprints and knowing that he will now be protecting his daughters, was a moment I can’t explain. I am not sure I have ever seen him look this kind of happy. It is a moment I will never forget. 

Since my sister-in-law was recovering we first went to see the little girls. To this day, as I write this, I am tearing up. Seeing something you have been waiting so long for in person and knjowing they are healthy, with five fingers and five toes, and they are safe, is overwhelming. My mom and I stood there and just stared without saying a word.  I was in love. It is crazy how much you can care for someone with one look but as I stared at them I felt both insanely protective and excited. I can’t wait to watch these girls grow, be there for monumental life experience, and teach them what I can. 

I am back at the hospital today, holding and loving my two little nuggets. All I can say is, my heart is full. So so full!
