Sunday Social

Hey guys!! Happy Sunday Funday! Linking up with Neely and Ashley today for Sunday Social. 


Sunday Social


1. What are your favorite things to do on a lazy day?
Stay in pajamas. Cuddle up on the couch with Rico and a cup of tea or coffee watching Breaking Bad, Intervention, or any crime TV show. I love those lazy days!

2. What is your TV guilty pleasure?
Keeping up with the Kardashians. I never understand why people hate them so much. I love them! I think it takes a lot to film almost every aspect of your life and have the whole world watching them. I really enjoy the show and their family dynamics. 

3. What is your favorite road trip music?
Country and Backstreet Boys. It reminds me of road trips I used to take with my family and I enjoy it now as an adult. 

4. What are your favorite magazines or books to read by the pool or laying around?
I enjoy reading autobiographies, memoirs, crime books, and beauty magazines such as Glamour or Lucky. 

5. What is your favorite snack?
Carrots and hummus, bacon wrapped asparagus, candied pecans. I try not to snack much but those are my favorites. 

Have a lovely Sunday, y'all!

Confessions: Shoe Queen?

It's no secret that I love shoes, hence the name of this blog. Like really, really love shoes, heels preferably. They speak so much about a woman. They don't discriminate the way clothes does. They either fit you or they don't. Hell, I'm even trying to open my own shoe store.

some of my babies displayed pretty in my closet

Ever since I went back to school full time last semester, I have not worn a single pair of heels. *GASP*

I have this closet room full of gorgeous heels, some of them brand spanking new that have never been worn. I just found it extremely hard to wear heels during school since I'd be walking all over campus and since I take night classes I didn't want to be running around in heels in the dark. That could be dangerous! (Thinking about it now, I could probably fight off someone with a pair of heels I have)

People at work, friends, etc still refer to me as the "Shoe Queen". I love that name but lately I feel like I'm a fake! I know it sounds so silly but I feel like I'm not living up to that name anymore. I still love my heels. I wish to wear them more often but with this nasty Texas weather I never know whether to wear heels or snow boots and lately it's been boots. Ew.

And the last few months I find myself leaning more towards the flats section of the department store. If you know me or you don't, I don't do flats besides tennis shoes and riding boots. Maybe I'm just learning to love both flats and heels and this is just a phase. Who knows? I can love both, right? 

I'm really gonna work on wearing my heels again. They make me feel confident and sexy. Yikes, what if I end up looking like a newborn baby giraffe trying to find it's balance. 

Aww, I probably wouldn't be that cute though.

Weekend Recap

Bring it on, Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend! 

Here's what happened this weekend, some eventful and some not so much. 

Friday - I was sent home early from work because the weather was getting worse and my boss already knew what happened to me the day before. As soon as I got home I took a nap and it was lovely which reminds me I should take more naps. I woke up when Juan got home from work and we grabbed dinner at my favorite place, Zoe's Kitchen and then rented Prisoners from RedBox. Prisoners stars Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal and it's a very suspenseful film. I had to turn the lights in the middle of the movie because I got scared. LOL I'm not really a thriller movie type of gal! 



Saturday - I went to a nutrition workshop at my gym which was very informative and helpful.

Later on in the afternoon, I went to Bella's Stella & Dot Trunk Show. I had never been to one before and the jewelry is so gorgeous! I bought a few pieces of jewelry and I can't wait to receive them! 

After the trunk show, Bella and I headed to the ShopMieux 1st Birthday Celebration. It was a blast! They offered drinks, cupcakes and had a super cute photo booth. Not to mention the people there were so nice. The store is so cute and they offer so many brands at a great price. 




Sunday - As usual, I got up early for my weekly grocery trip and meal prepped my little heart away. I love meal prepping, it makes me feel like I have my shit together. I also was able to get my new iPhone after my other one to a dump in the toilet. YAY! I finally feel connected! 

So purdy! Love!
