“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…
I hosted a small birthday party for my sister who turned 30 July 25th. Anyone with a sister probably knows how priceless the bond is. I love her beyond words and it’s been an honor to be given a life-long best friend (thanks Mom). Especially one of her caliber. She’s kind, caring, and patient; truly…
Because I work corporate, I have to use my paid time off wisely. I normally do weekend trips, leaving on a Friday and be back to work on or before Monday. I’m a notorious overpacker, which means even for three days I’m lugging along a suitcase and a duffel bag. I tell myself I need options,…
I’m only seven months in on The B Werd but I get SO many questions about blogging. How did you start? Where do I start? What advice would you give to someone wanting to start a blog? First, let me say that I’m truly flattered you all enjoy The B Werd enough to even consider…
How do you continually find the inspiration to keep topics flowing on your blog? I’ve always been easily inspired. One thought or experience would ignite my thought process and I’d have an engaging conversation ready to go. In all honesty, it’s random – just like life. I don’t plan out what I decide to post,…
My weekend style isn’t always as glamorous as the photos y’all see on here. To be honest, it wasn’t until college when my girly side even began to bloom. I was a tomboy all throughout my childhood and still choose sneakers as my go-to when I’m running around. I normally pack something similar for days…
“I would really like to see a post on your take on “sugar daddies” or just the overall taking money from men. Do you think this is something that should be shunned upon? What’s your view on the quote “you have to pay to play”? I myself am a hardworking female but I don’t mind…
My mother’s mother was a first generation Mexican American, while her father was Caucasian; blonde hair and blue eyes. Her father passed away in a car wreck when she was 12 and she was then raised by his parents, my great grandmother and paw paw. Throughout her adolescence she experienced quite a bit of adversity,…
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to the public which is great news. What’s better news is the fact that most of the items that sold out during the pre-sale have been restocked. I normally use this sale to take advantage of the new winter arrivals (especially jackets) before they return to full price…
I’ve always adored the idea of being a city girl. That probably stemmed from watching too many episodes of Sex And The City, where women daintily walked blocks in high fashion and high heels without breaking a sweat or an ankle. Houston is a huge city, but we don’t operate that way. We drive everywhere,…
I’ve been ready for Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale since it ended last year. It’s my favorite for many reasons, but specifically because I tend to purchase everything I’ll need for the fall. You get the best items at crazy discount prices and with free shipping and returns, I buy everything comfortably knowing that should I not like it for…
I’m not sure if entrepreneurship is inherited, or if it’s something you can create should you want it bad enough, but I do know that it’s possible for everyone. My meemaw owned several of her own businesses, from hair salons to home healthcare businesses, and this was before Google existed. In 2016 we have easy…
My last Boss Ladies post was about the right interview questions to ask in order to land the job you want. But what happens next? You get the job, they make an offer and you accept. Wrong. It’s no secret there’s a wage gap between men and women, but there’s also a large difference in…
Houston has 100+ degree summers so I want to wear as little as possible without being too revealing. What’s more fitting than a bodysuit + denim cutoffs? I added this Revolve blazer only because it’s light enough to still allow me to breathe. It may seem like an oxymoron, but I love the sophistication of…
I don’t know about you, but my week last week was far from ideal. From finalizing every detail of a four-day event I’ll be at this week, to constantly refreshing social media to see what people were talking about; I was all over the place. It was taking me twice as long to do things…
