Weekend Recap: Weezy and Sangria!

Happy Monday everyone!! I had one of those super relaxing weekends - so how the hell am I still tired today? I think I need a good old americano from starbucks in my near future! How did I turn into this boring person when one night out burns me out? haha! I went to the Lil Wayne concert on Friday and had a blast! T.I. and 2 chainz were also there - it was so fun and I knew a lot more songs than I thought. The concert was packed with drunk high schoolers, but it was still so much fun! My legs still hurt from dancing so much! 

Outfit: Shirt from Haute & Rebellious, high waisted denim shorts from Nordstrom

Saturday, I did a whole lot of nothing - literally went to lunch, took a nap, and then went to dinner at Luciano's. Drank some of the best sangria on earth!! YUM! :) We were also baby sitting chloe this weekend :) Sunday, I laid out by the pool and took my car to get washed & emptied out. My new car comes TODAY!!! woo hoo! :)

Anyone else been loving the new Selena album? Definitely recommend! 

Hope you all have a great week!

Linking up with Sami!! :)

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday my loves! 

We have made it through another week and can you guys believe it will be AUGUST next week? INSANE. Work has been really crazy and I am just so happy it is Friday. I am going to the Lil Wayne concert tonight! I am excited and scared, I have never been to a rap concert before. I am sure this is making me sound like the whitest Mexican ever LOL! No set plans for tomorrow but I am pretty sure I want to track down the Papi Queso truck in Charlotte! :) Also - I am in the process of getting a new car, so excited!

Some few random pictures from this week...

FLAWLESS seabass with grilled asparagus and grilled artichokes from Luciano's in Charlotte! :) 

Random work outfit! Gap Sweater, Express Jeggings, and Kate Spade purse

Dinner on Wednesday night! It is restaurant week in Charlotte & we went to Del Frisco's in Southpark. It was so horrible! We had the WORST service I have ever experienced and I am appalled at the way that they treat their guests. I have grown up in the restaurant industry and I have been in the best restaurants all over the world. Del Frisco's is not one of them. Definitely will never be going back there. 

love my sister! 

Have a great weekend everyone!! :)

Whole Foods Grocery Haul! (Video)

I filmed this last week, but finally uploaded it earlier today. I love me some Whole Foods - here in Charlotte, it is the only place you can get some decent produce! I also just love the Whole Foods experience - you can get a glass of wine or beer while you shop! = PERFECTION! :) 

Back when I first started making videos - grocery hauls were my favorite kinds of videos - I am slowly going to incorporate more food/diet videos into my channel. I am so behind with my filming, but I plan on getting some videos filmed this week! :)

 yummy colorful food!

Thank you for watching! :)

Weekend Recap: Atlanta and Food

Happy Monday loves! I spent most of last week in Atlanta for work and stayed for the weekend relaxing at my home. We had some great meetings last week - my favorite part of my job is when we travel. It gets really tiring since we are usually out the entire day with meetings and client lunches and dinners, but it is always worth it! I headed to Atlanta on Tuesday and drove back yesterday afternoon. 

Tuesday dinner outfit: My new Kate Spade bag "hancock park-jeanne" (sold out in black but other colors still available), brandy melville top, free people lace shorts, Kate Spade necklace. I had dinner at Pampas three times during my trip - amazing! This is my family's restaurant and rated 29 on Zagat - the highest rated steakhouse in the ENTIRE nation!! Been loving my new accessories: Kate Spade Gramercy Watch, J.Crew Pave Link Bracelet & Tory Burch Logo Flap Clutch. Celebrating great meetings plus my new coworker's first week on the job!

my beautiful coco being her funny self! One of my Pampas dinners - peruvian ceviche, tuna tartare, mixta salad and lobster mac & cheese (HEAVEN!!!) 

 

On Saturday, my sister and I went to go see "The Conjuring" - omg it was sooooo scary! Back to my regular routine this week. I have been HORRIBLE about working out and eating the way I need to be. I need motivation and ASAP because I feel like poo. Have a great week everyone!! :)

HUGE beauty haul from Sephora, Ulta & Nordstrom!

Hey guys! Saying hello from Atlanta this week. I am here for work until Friday and staying until Sunday so I get to see my family & ATL friends as well! :) Unfortunately, I did not have time to film a haul video for all of the goodies I got at Ulta, Sephora and Nordstrom, but I decided to take some pictures to share and share a mini review of the products I have tried already! I definitely indulged in some new products that I am excited to try out!

From Nordstrom & Drugstore

L'Oreal Color Vibrancy Dual Protect Spray: I was looking for a spray to use on my hair when it is still damp to moisturize as well as protect from heat - so far I am liking this a lot, I got it about a week ago- I use this, Moroccan Oil, and the paul mitchell hot off the press daily!

Voluspa Candle Set: I was lucky enough to snag this candle set from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - catch it online before they sell out! An amazing deal at $30 for all three candles!

MAC Cleanse Off Oil: I have been LOVING this product. Ever since I started using Maybelline's the Rocket - I have had a really hard time removing my eye makeup - this literally removes every single trace of makeup. I am usually against spending a lot on makeup remover, but this one is totally worth it. It is a bit pricey at 28 dollars, but remember a little goes a long way with this product. I just apply a pump onto a cotton pad for each eye.

MAC "Ravishing" Lipstick: The perfect lipstick! It is a peachy coral shade & super pretty! My friend Ashely used this on me when she did my makeup a while back ago and I fell in love with it. It is perfect for the day and night.

From Ulta

Benefit's Stay Flawless 15 Hour Primer: If I had a dime for every time I have heard this primer mentioned, I would be swimming in money. This primer has been super hyped up & I guess Benefit's advertising has paid off seeing as I was dying to try it! I used it for the first time today, and my makeup has lasted really well. I am going to use for a few more weeks before forming a real opinion.

Benefit's Erase Paste: I used to use this a long time ago and decided to give it another shot! It covers up dark circles really well, but it is a little hard to work with because it is super thick! (I got the shade light)

NYX Butter Glosses: I have been hearing rave reviews on these glosses for months now - I picked up a couple of shades and they are gorgeous! The consistency is great - not too sticky, but not slippery either. Great pigmentation and lasting power as well. Great deal as I snagged them for buy one, get one 50% off & they are 5 dollars to begin with! :)

From Sephora


Korres Quercetin & Oak Face Serum: Probably one of my favorite skin care items ever. This is my second bottle of this serum and I LOVE it! I have noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my skin ever since using this product. It makes skin radiant, firm and has the added anti-aging elements. Amazing product and definitely recommend to someone around my age who wants to start using some anti-aging skincare items.

DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge Rescue & Protect Eye Balm: I have been LOVING my origins gin-zing eye cream, but I realized that I probably needed one with anti-aging properties for my night time skincare since the gin-zing eye cream is mostly brightening/depuffing (and amazing at it!). I went into Sephora thinking about getting the eye cream that goes along with the korres serum since my skin seems to love that line. However, the skin expert at Sephora convinced me to try this eye cream from DERMA doctor. I have honestly never heard much of the brand before, but he had nothing buy amazing rave reviews for it. It is not a bad price point either - $48 & he said a little goes a long way and he used this himself! :) I have yet to try it, but I will review for sure!

Origins "A Perfect World" Moisturizer: I was interested in purchasing a day cream that wasn't too expensive and had SPF in it. The same skin expert at Sephora recommended me this moisturizer by Origins. This has an SPF of 25 which is awesome and it also has age defense properties. I haven't used this yet either since I am currently still finishing my Dior Hydralife moisturizer (in the mood for a change). At $40 - it is definitely not a bad price for a high end moisturizer! He told us that skincare lines that come from cosmetics companies often use a lot of chemicals and fragrance that tend to irritate skin, so I am glad I am going to be switching over to mostly natural skincare lines. I really enjoyed using the Dior Hydralife skincare line in my late teens and early twenties, but I do think it is time for a change and definitely time to do as much preventative skincare as possible.

Can you tell I don't want any wrinkles? haha! Let me know if you would like individual reviews or a first impressions on any of these items! Hope you all had great Wednesdays! :)
