Starting The B Werd has revealed many layers of myself that I was unaware of. It’s been challenging, invigorating, and eye opening to say the least. Luckily for me, most of my friends are walking a similar path in their own lives so I have a circle of support. They’re hard workers with big dreams,…
I’m finally getting around to being able to wear some of the items I purchased during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale a month ago. Ironically, this Topshop romper was the one item I bought that wasn’t on sale. I love olive tones while I have a tan. I love rompers because they require little to no effort…
I’m not a beauty blogger nor can I film a makeup tutorial worth watching, but beauty products are a part of my everyday life and consume a large portion of my bathroom counter…. and drawers. I buy products because I actually use them, not because they’re popular or I want to test them. If I’m…
I’ve followed you on social media for quite a while so I know before your big chop you had super long hair. How did you get it to grow so quickly?! Every time you chop a few inches, it’s right back down your back. #QuestionsThatNeedAnswers My hair has always grown really quickly so other than…
Whether you’re starting a blog or a business, it gets very pricey building a brand. What I don’t want is for any of you to wait to begin your business venture because you think you’re not financially capable of getting it off the ground. Yes, you will need money for a lot of things, but…
If energy is contagious and we are continuously giving and receiving it, what would you be OK catching? I was once involved with someone that I adored for the wrong reasons. I desired to have him in my life, yet our interaction made me constantly question why. He meant no intentional harm, but there was…
Last week we had a girls night that started with dinner at Steak 48 in the new River Oaks District and ended with me coming home at 3 am. After a few drinks I was down to go wherever we would have a good time, and that we did. Although I wasn’t expecting anything other than dinner,…
I spend a lot of time trying to continuously find ways to keep my creative process going. I’m always searching for things that spark inspiration while continuing to learn along the way. I typically listen to music from the time I wake up until I take a bath at night but when a friend suggested…
Fall is my favorite season for obvious reasons; lighter temperatures, warm coffee, fall leaves and finally getting to dress with a jacket. Houston still has quite a while before we’ll be able to enjoy fall temperatures but there’s no better time to prepare for fall than now. I buy a few of the following six…
I’ve always imagined myself excelling in Corporate America. Something about being the only woman at a round table meeting with all men thrills me. I love the politics of it and being only 26, it’s allowed me to meet and work closely with a lot of Houston’s development movers and shakers. There’s an obvious stigma…
I’ve been loving leather bucket bags, especially for travel. This cognac colored one is so cute and under $30. This backless white lace dress looks pricey and is only $30, which makes it my kind of dress. Perfect for a bridal shower, birthday or all white party. You need a camo cargo jacket before Fall….
I tried looking for you on YouTube, but couldn’t find you. Do you have plans to start a channel at all? I think your segments like Coffee Talk would be great for YouTube. I literally just had this conversation with my friend Angela. She insists that I need to be using Snapchat and tells me…
Houston is a huge city, but our downtown area only employs a small percentage of our residents. Anytime I get to spend a day down there for work, I feel like I’m in an entirely different town. It’s unfamiliar to me, so it always feels fresh when I’m walking between big buildings and passing new…
I’ve mentioned it before and you’ll read me mention it again, when I first graduated and landed the job where I’d begin my career, I had taken a major pay cut. It wasn’t ideal. It was especially hard to imagine because most college students don’t make much money and automatically assume a college degree will upgrade…
“When you feel the pain go all the way through…” This video, this lesson is one of great value. It’s the perfect analogy of the trials you’ll fight throughout your lifetime. Had we all learned this as children, we would’ve been better off. But instead, even as adults, we are hesitant to keep pressing when…
