DIY Nails Event at @LangfordHouston Rice Village #NailedIt

If there is one way to show your style without clothes, it has to be with your nail design! As you know, nail designs are so popular at the moment and everyone wants fabulous one of a kind nails. But who are these creative geniuses who knows how to draw on a curved nail? Well, Vikki Adams from Nail Mogul came to show us how we can do simple designs on our own nails at home. She also gave us tips on how to take care of our nails in between manicures. Guests asked her questions about other nail painting products such Shellac and Gel.

On Sunday May 26, Langford Market in Houston Rice Village location, asked me to host a Do-It-Yourself Nails Event in there store. Guests and shoppers got to learn about what tools to use to create simple designs such a polka dots and lines while adding gems and glitter to add interest. After Vikki's demonstrations, four volunteers were asked to find a summer outfit inside the store. Once they found their favorite dress or shirt, they were asked to create a design. They all did a wonderful job! Each guest received a swag bag filled with the nail essentials such as a nail buffer, a dotting tool, and nail design brush, finger nail polish, nail design jewels, and shopping coupons.

 It was so much fun planning this event and seeing the ladies interact with each other! We had a lot of fun and I want to thank everyone who came and enjoyed themselves! Be on the lookout for more events that I will be hosting in the Houston area!

Special Thanks to Vikki Adams and Langford Market Rice Village!

Walk To The Beat feat. caseable

MacBook Sleeve: c/o caseable | Top: random shop | Disco Pants: American Apparel (here) | Sneaker Wedges: Target (here) | Necklace: Bakers (similar)(similar) | Sunglasses: H&M  | Lips: LA Colors Forever Red Liner and MAC's Russian Red Lipstick

Hope all of you had a wonderful Memorial Day! I spent the day at home, dog-sitting, and watching movies. Anywho, let's get to the fun stuff! As you know, I'm a tech-y type of girl. When I received this MacBook case with my blog name and my picture plastered on the sleeve, I was so shocked and super elated! What a cool laptop sleeve to own instead of the plain jane one colored sleeve. Since carrying my  case to school, meetings, and where ever else, it has definitely been a conversation starter.

But don't worry. There are plenty of tech items you can personalize with caseable. Samsung Galaxy phones, iPhones, iPads, Kindles, etc. Check out caseable's full list options here. You are a cool person right? Well, you should have cool accessories as well!

If you decide to purchase, please let me know which case you decided to get!

Spring eShakti Dress: Blue Riding Hood

Dress: c/o eShakti (similar) | Shoes: Aldo (want!) | Eye glasses: Gucci (love these!)

Some times you have to just enjoy a dress for what it is. Fit, texture, and comfort. I could have made this  dress some elaborate overdone getup, but I decided to let the dress speak for it self. This A-lined flare dress gives me a 1960's vibe which is actually my favorite style era. It's also very flattering for the waist. It helps bring you a natural curve shape without looking so 

I really love the fact that eShakti's dress are perfect the way they are. I'm not trying to be boost your head, but I find their dresses are feminine enough to where there's no need for all the extra dressings. 

any eShakti's dress + fun shoe = feminine perfection.

Check out eShakti's website for more colorful spring and summer looks!

Meet the Author: Christine Avanti of "Skinny Chicks Eat Real Food"

Hello Everyone! Since the new year, I have been trying my best to start becoming knowledgable about what's going into my body. I have been learning in depth about organic and superfoods and how I can continue to incorporate them into my diet. I've also been paying attention to my portion control and even though sometimes I fall short, I try my best to get back on track. I've been researching tips on how to eat better and finding resources to help me continue those life changing tips!

 

 

Christine Avanti, Celebrity Nutritionist, will be hosting a "Sipping Skinny"event, at Haven Outdoor Patio in Houston, TX on May 1, 2013.
She will be at the event sharing her summer slim-down tips, which focus on simple wasys to builder better eating habits and debunking diet myths. She will be showcasing some of her new low-cal recipes along with low-calorie Skinny Vine wine. The guests will have a chance to meet with Christine one-on-one to learn more about how simple swaps can lead to better eating habits, which has helped her celeb clients like Chelsea Handler, Audrina Patridge, and Giuliana Rancic get their binkini bodies.

Christine's philosophy centers on what she calls "real food" which are ingredients that are not artificially created or modified. She's also a firm believer that it's ok to indulge on treats like chocolate or wine. The key is keeping those indulges in moderation.

 

I'm so excited to read her book and can't wait to tell you about the Skinny Vine wine. Of course I'm excited for that. A wine without all the calories? YES PLEASE! :)
