Rule of a Lady:
This is what got me through work this week.
That, and also the constant reminder that we are put in uncomfortable situations to learn from them and to grow. But most importantly, to conquer.

We ate at some pretty amazing bakeries and cafés:

Craving of the Day: Texas Cookin'
For some odd reason, I have been really craving southern soul food: mashed potatoes, home made gravy, corn on the cobb, sweet tea, etc.
While visiting Texas last month, I was able to drink an ice cold Dr. Pepper made with 100% cane sugar. Sugar Daddy’s aunt has a vintage soda machine in which you have to put a dime in to get your glass bottle:
And while we were in Dallas, the hubby...

Juicy Couture
I like to switch up my fragrances as the seasons change. This summer, I have been loving Couture Couture by Juicy Couture. It contains pink grape, orange flower, mandarin, blushed plum, honeysuckle and bold jasmine. Creamy sandalwood and rich vanilla top it off to give a sweet modern scent that is perfect for summer.

Dipdown
Too scared to wear black eyeliner but still want a defined eye look? Use a dark brown shade instead. I find that wearing brown liner gives a soft definition to the eyes versus a black harsh line. Brown eyeliner also makes blue and green eyes stand out beautifully.
Dipdown Fluidline by Mac is a dark rich brown. It is perfect to softly define eyes in both fair and medium skin complexions.
