Think certain outdoor shopping areas are mostly all chain stores lately?!
Yeah me too! Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.
Want more of a unique shopping experience? Want to discover one-of-a-kind buys? Most of us have our usual shopping spots, so why not break the routine and experience some of Tulsa’s quaint and historic gems?! I personally love uncovering hidden treasures and I love the seeing more and more of the local movement!
Read MoreI just wanted to feel confident with or without makeup and not look so darn tired and old.
After determining there was no magical concealer, cream, or over-the-counter treatment to address my under eye problems, I decided to start researching fillers and reached out to Fig Medical Spa here in Tulsa to learn more about the entire process. I had always seen amazing under eye filler before and afters, and I was really curious to see if I could get good results!
After chatting with Fig Medical Spa, they set up an appointment for me with Cristie Lehr-Hawkins, M.D. She is a certified Radiologist with special interest and additional training in aesthetics, regenerative medicine, and Phlebology.

Read MoreFor those of you who follow me you know that I am learning French!
And a huge part of mastering the language is really immersing yourself in the language as much as possible. Practice does indeed make perfect!

Read MoreMusui "Waterless" Cooking is Vermicular’s fundamental cooking technique. Instead of using excess water, seasoning or sauces, let ingredients do the work. The Musui condenses and intensifies their inherent deliciousness to create exquisite flavors, naturally. I raved all about the Musui from Vermicular in this post!
Vermicular has some wonderful recipes and I made two this week actually-the first being the Minestrone soup!!! It’s such a cold weather favorite on our home!!!! Find that recipe here. And I also made this incredible Chile Con Carne recipe which is just perfection on a cold night like tonight!!!

Read MoreI have been cooking up a storm all week, partially because the new season has me craving all of my favorite fall dishes but also because I received the most beautiful Musui from Vermicular. I am 100 percent in love with this Japanese cookware. And the two recipes I have made so far with their recipe book have been spot on!! They were so easy to create and so so delicious!!!
Read MoreIt’s no secret that everyone wants to dress like a French girl - at least to try it out. Now, there is something of a misconception that you have to be French to really nail the look. But nothing could be further from the truth! Just look at model Alexa Chung. She embodies perhaps the epitome of French-girl style, but was born and raised in the UK. Some people also assume the best place to wear your sleek and sophisticated French-girl clothing is in Paris. While the City of Lights is certainly one of the fashion capitals of the world though, and the most logical place to flaunt French-inspired style, there are plenty of places around the world where your chic sense of style will work beautifully for you.
Here are four stylish cities where you can flaunt your French-girl style.
I have a serious case of wanderlust right now as this time last year I was traveling Maine’s Coast! And just a few years prior at this time I was traveling The Pacific Northwest! I am absolutely craving the beautiful smell of the forest right now as I am here at home in Oklahoma nowhere near a magical forest.
Studio Stockhome’s Cedar Candle is literally a vacation in a pinstripe jar!!!
Read MoreIn the market for a gorgeous reusable net bag that you will just cherish for years and years to come?!
I was!
Insert the beautiful Net Bag from Mia Mélange in royal blue. Mia Mélange bags are made from 100% cotton rope which they carefully sew together in a coiling technique. The cotton is grown locally in South Africa by farmers who are members of the Better Cotton Initiate (BCI). I love this net bag because it’s very durable and expands as more goods are placed in the bag. It’s strong enough to support my books too! And a change of shoes as the weather is changing, I prefer to walk downtown and have a nice pair of heels with me to slip into for dinner!
Read MoreI’m sure you are all well aware that I love me some deviled eggs. For the past several years, I’ve served traditional deviled eggs for Thanksgiving, but this year, I’m switching things up and adding some heat!!! (all though I am making traditional too for those in the family that just would not have it otherwise) Deviled eggs are named such because the mix-ins are often spicy or hot, so these Sriracha deviled eggs are orange-hued beauties spiked with Sriracha sauce.
And may I suggest the adorable Egguins from Peleg Design?!
Boil, serve and store eggs in the coolest way!
This small colony of penguins will hold up to 6 eggs together in the Arctic winter of your fridge or in the hot springs of your pot. The handle will always stay cool for pulling out safely from the boiling water and comfortable carrying to the table or fridge.
Seriously the cutest!!!! Totally gifting these for holiday presents!
Read MoreHappy November friends!
I cannot believe we are just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving!
