Minnesota Eats & Deets | Fall 2018

Listen to me, you’re going to get used to seeing Minnesota more often because I’m planning on visiting… a lot.  Not only is it where I grew up, my family is there, it’s beautiful, has all the seasons, BUT the airline expense has significantly dropped, and I’m talking non-stop flights.  IF that doesn’t get you excited, you clearly have some exciting things going on & I can’t hate you for that.

Happy Halloween | 2018

I’ve been wanting to do a fun Halloween look but had no where to wear it, so decided to go for it myself & try taking fun pictures afterwards – which is what we did!  I consider this look the biker skeleton

BASICS: Wild Rice Melody Recipe

Back to Basics with one of my favorite things – WILD RICE!  If you haven’t introduced wild rice into your diet, it’s time.  Wild Rice has a slightly nuttier flavor than traditional white or brown rice.  I realize white & brown rice gets all the attention in the rice category but take a gander to the wild side of the grocery store next time you’re there.  If you want the real deal, look for wild rice from Minnesota or Canada.

3 Times To Apply Rose Water

We’re already feeling the fresh air & cool breeze that naturally comes with the new season – even in Texas.  There’s nothing better than walking outside to a big welcoming breathe of fresh, cool air.  You know, I’ve had a long term crush on one very important thing that makes your face feel as good as that breathe of cool fresh air?  That crush is ROSE WATER.

Austin City Limits Music Festival | 2018

Living in Austin, it’s really hard to ignore the Austin City Limits Music Festival.  The city is consumed with people, music & one big party.  Admittedly I’m not a big music festival person – traveling to different cities to knock out big festivals.  I’m too tired.  But I join in Austin’s because I can participate at my own pace & go to my own home afterwards.  And I can’t say I don’t like dressing in the festival gear, minus glitter because that’ll follow you around all year.

Thoughtful Act Challenge: Social Media

To me, being thoughtful means slowing down & thinking about whatever situation you’re in.   I don’t typically say be positive or be kind because I don’t necessarily think that’s always the best advice.  I actually wish that wasn’t the advice I heard when I was younger.  I’ve learned there are specific scenarios where we shouldn’t be kind, that’s my opinion.  Especially as women, there are times I wish someone told me to be bossy, stand up for myself, don’t be pushed over or passive.  Of course those instances are rare but they do happen – therefore I encourage being thoughtful, which coincidentally often means being kind.

Today I’m following up on SOCIAL MEDIA.
