How To – For The Love Of She

Madison Reed to the Rescue

I recently was given the opportunity to give a new salon near me a try and I’ll be honest my first thought was, I already have a salon so why would I do that? However, my interest was peeked so I decided to look it up and once I did I realized it was not your average salon. In today’s blog, I will be giving you a look at Madison Reed Color Bar Salon and what they are about.

Madison Reed Color Bar offers multiple color services that are perfect for the woman on the go, that does not have time to sit in a salon for six hours of hair treatment when you need that color boost! They have a specially trained color mixologist on site that will color match your hair to ensure you get the perfect color for all your hair color needs and wants.

Whether you are looking to go back to your natural color, cover grey or add a boost to your highlights, they can handle it all. I chose to do the gloss and blow out services and have shared before and after pictures for you here.

This is the perfect solution for me, being an Instagram influencer, I have photo shoots that pop up and I do not always have time to schedule a six hour highlight appointment. The gloss treatment literally takes thirty minutes and I am in and out looking refreshed and not stressed in time for my shoot! In addition, they offer products for at home use. If you do not have time to go sit in the salon, you can stop in and pick up the products and DIY at home! How awesome is that option for those mom’s that have little to no time for themselves as it is?! I have linked the website and services here for you:

https://www.madison-reed.com

SERVICES

ROOTS ONLY

Permanent, long‑lasting color for roots (single process, no bleach, no highlights)

ROOTS + GLOSS

Permanent color for roots + Refresh color + boost shine

COLOR REVIVING GLOSS

I highly recommend Madison Reed Color Bar and thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. From the no hassle scheduling, to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, to the excellent results! Please feel free to drop me any questions you may have or tell me about your experiences with Madison Reed Color Bar Salon! As always, much love to you all, XOXO – SheShe!

Success, A True Definition

Once upon a time there was a little girl that had big dreams. How many stories start out that way and then for whatever reason fade into the background of just living? I am here to tell you that I am sure there are more than there are not. My question to you in today’s blog, is why?

I believe the number one reason we do not chase our dreams is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of change and the biggest fear of all – the fear of failure. Fear is an emotion and we often are driven or in most cases, held back by our emotions in life. So, now that we have uncovered reason number one, let’s talk about how we over come it. The greatest disservice you can ever do to yourself is to not even try. You will never know, unless you at least give it a shot. What is the worst that can happen? It doesn’t go as planned, or it doesn’t work out at all? Then, you still learned something, right? You gained knowledge of what didn’t work. Success is built on failure. Now, on the other hand, what if it does work out? How amazing would that be? Can you imagine the thrill of achieving your dreams? Overcoming your fears? That is success.

The second biggest reason we give up on our dreams is that we let other people define who we are and what we believe we should be doing. This to me is the saddest reason of all. Everyone has a purpose in this life and it is up to you and only you to serve that purpose. NEVER LET ANYONE DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. You know what your strengths are, what makes you happy, what you truly shine at. Can you honestly say you are doing what you love? What you are passionate about in life? If you aren’t, then you probably are not where you are meant to be and more then likely you aren’t truly happy with what you are doing. The point, or moral behind this is that when you love what you do – when you are passionate about it, you are successful. That is your purpose, your passion, your dream. That is success.

The final reason I believe we give up on our dreams is because we think there is not enough time. We get so consumed in life going and coming, doing and being that we quite literally start believing we are out of time. We tend to forget that it is never too late to start over, to start now, or to achieve our dreams. The present is better then ever to decide to be and do what you were always meant for – to make your dreams come true.

In closing, I want to remind each and everyone of you that you possess qualities that no else has but you. Only you can decide to take the next steps and go for it! Believe you can and you will! That is my true definition of success! I would love to hear about you chasing your dreams! Please feel free to leave comments below! Much love to you all! xoxo – SheShe

Flower Vault Picture Wall Venues

Everyone dreams of having a personal photo shoot background playground at their fingertips and the wait is over! I ran across this amazing spot while scrolling through my Instagram feed and wanted to share it with you in today’s blog post. The venue is called The Flower Vault and it is a pop up venue that allows customers to come and share in the beauty of several different flower walls that are beautifully placed throughout the venue. The Flower Vault is currently located in Houston and San Antonio locations. They offer appointments, as well as walk ins. You are allowed an allotted time (an hour for walk ins) for the price of entry and you can take your own photos or bring a photographer. They also have a restroom available at the venue for wardrobe changes or those last minute make up touch ups! In addition to the actual flower walls located in the venue, there is some very cool lighting fixtures that make for some awesome pictures as well! I am sharing all of the flower walls at the Houston location in today’s post so you will have a great idea of all the choices you have and hopefully some inspiration to go and make a visit and make some awesome memories too!

This is the red and pink rose flower wall. Perfect for literally any occasion, because what is more timeless?!

The next flower wall in the venue is the “yellow room” that includes a massive sunflower on one wall and several tiny sunflowers on the adjacent wall that form hearts! Completely adorable!

Whomever said blue is not your color has definitely not seen you in this flower room! This blue rose flower wall was one of my favorites in the venue! This room would be perfect for so many types of pictures, from engagement to baby announcements!

Probably the most fun room in the venue is this next room, that is floor to ceiling filled with sunflowers! You can not help but smile in this room! I truly enjoyed every second in it (as you can see!)

These are some of the cool lighting fixtures and pictures we took with them….

The next room is a multi floral room with multi colored stones that are strategically placed throughout to be used in any way you wish to take cool photos! (just don’t step off the stones or you will crush the flowers!) This room is amazing, as it is truly covered in flowers!

There is a very cute seating area full of plush pillows, against a pale pink wall, that is included in the venue as well for those that wish to use it. This would make a great setting for group pictures or pictures with your little ones or even your fur babies! I went during the Easter holiday, so I incorporated it in my photos.

I hope you have enjoyed today’s blog post as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you! Please take the time to check out the Flower Vault if you are in the San Antonio or Houston area. You will not be disappointed! Below is a link to their website so you can check out their hours, schedule an appointment, or take a look at the many other gorgeous pictures they have up on the site!

I would love to hear about your experiences if you have been there and what types of pictures you decided to take! As always, much love and many smiles to you all!

The Journey

The New Year is upon us and with that everyone usually feels pressure to put resolutions out into the universe or set some dynamic goals that you must meet by a certain date or you won’t feel accomplished. After having an eye opening year in 2018, I have chosen to take a new path this path this year in 2019. My motto for the new year is “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey!” In this blog I will explain the meaning behind this motto.

Our lives are broken up into a few different primary categories that we try and juggle on a daily basis: Professional, Family, Financial, Personal, Home and Charity. In looking at all of these categories together it does seem stressful and often times to be honest, it is down right overwhelming. Let’s try something new this year and take a look at them on an individual basis and examine them from a personal perspective, instead of from the perspective of what you think the world expects from you or what you think you must achieve to make someone else happy.

PROFESSIONAL – Is your job a career or is it just a paycheck? Does it truly make you happy? Are you utilizing your skills where you are currently? Are you being held back by fear of change? No one can answer these questions, except you. There is meaning behind each and everyone. You see, your professional life should not be a punishment or a mundane task that you just “get through” each day. You owe it to yourself to do something that you love because that is when you will truly be successful! You know what your strengths are, what you excel at and what drives you. Put it to purpose.

FAMILY – Do you spend as much time with your family as you wish you could? Your family is the heartbeat of your world. They are your support system. Your vitality. The reason you do everything you do, right? But, my question to you is, do you recognize they are there? Or like most people, you get into a daily routine of just go, go, go everyday. Deadlines to meet, games to make, practices to get to, the list goes on. Are you keeping up appearances for the sake of appearances? I am here to tell you that you can not get a moment of time back, no, not one. Stop and smell those roses. Listen when your child is telling you that story for the one millionth time and I mean really listen, because that just might be the first time you really hear it! Take more family vacations and live in those moments. Eat breakfast together, take walks after dinner. Value your loved ones while they are here!

FINANCIAL – Are you over extending yourself for the sake of others? Do you have a savings account? Are you comfortable with your financial situation? Do you have financial planning? These are all important questions, well because we all know that it takes money to sustain our daily lives. Your finances should not control your life. They should not be the sole reason you live and breathe. Is it nice to have money and to be financially stable, well of course, but bottom line is that you can not take it with you when you go. Do not let it control your life to the point that it controls your life. Learn to be responsible in small ways, such as a change jar. It may seem insignificant, but by year end – that could be a bill you could eliminate or a mini get away! Or, if saving is just not for you, look into a 401k that can be automatically taken out of your paycheck and you don’t even have to worry about it!

HOME – This is your safe haven, your place of rest, ultimately your happy place. You should treat your home with the same respect it gives you. When you have a clean , nicely decorated space to live in, you will find it it actually good for your soul. Live in a space that makes you happy. Why would you not? You are literally there everyday! If you do not like that couch, change it. Don’t like the color of the walls, paint them! Don’t be afraid of change. You will be surprised at how much fun it is to change up your surroundings on a regular basis, but also how much better it actually makes you feel.

PERSONAL- THIS is probably the most important category of ALL because it is solely about you. How do you feel about yourself, your health? Are you happy? How much time do you spend on yourself each day? Each week? Let’s stop here for a moment. I want you to think about something for the next second.

“You only get this one life, this one moment, live in it.”

Now, I want you to take a deep breathe in, let it out and continue doing that from this day forward. CARPE DIEM!. Seize the day. Each day. That doesn’t mean following a schedule or if that is what makes you happy, then schedule on! Is there a challenge you have been putting off because you were to afraid to try? TRY! A Bucket List destination you have been wanting to visit, but didn’t think you deserved to go. GO! A race you have been wanting to run, but didn’t think you had it in you. RUN!

Make it a priority this year to make you a priority. You were not put on this earth to be unhappy. The world is a big, beautiful place, live in it. The happier you are on a personal level, the more successful you will be in every other category in your life. That is a fact.

CHARITY- This is one of my favorite categories and I hope it becomes one of yours ,if it is not already. Giving back does not always have to be monetary. Giving back can be as simple as kindness. A kind word, a smile, an encouraging note, or just a hug on a bad day. We should all be putting back goodness into the world on a daily basis. There are other levels of charity that are beautiful ways of sharing too, such as volunteering at a hospital or a nursing home or even a homeless shelter. Giving of our time is one of the best gifts we can give to one another. It literally does a heart good. If you are struggling with where to find somewhere to give back, go to a local hospital, church or shelter and they can definitely steer you in the right direction.

If volunteering is not for you, that is ok. The next time you clean out your closet, think about those less fortunate and bag up those items and drop them by a clothing drop off location. Or, next time you are at the grocery store, pick up a few extra items and drop them in the donation barrels at the front of the store. These are just a few other simple ways of putting some goodness back into the world.

The bottom line is you never know just how much your kindness may mean to the person on the receiving end at that exact moment. Be kind.

This is New Year, full of new opportunities in each new day. That in and of itself is an exciting thought! My wish for all of you is that you don’t get weighted down with things that are not truly important to you this year. My wish is that you live the life that you are destined to live this year and that you live it to the fullest! I would love to hear about your new year, so please feel free to leave me comments below! Much love to you all – XOXO – SheShe

Target Holiday Décor Run

With the holidays quickly approaching, the count down is on to get the decorating completed before they arrive. In years past, I have primarily stuck to only decorating the main living spaces of our home, such as the living room, entry way and formal dining areas. This year, I decided I wanted to branch out and decorate some of the other spaces in our home as well. With that in mind, I am sharing some of my holiday décor finds on one of my Target runs on the blog today.

The “Dollar Spot” at Target is one of my absolute favorite places on the planet and I know I am speaking for many of you as well. Target does such an amazing job of stocking cute goods in this section for each season and today was no exception. I was not disappointed with my holiday finds! Not only did I find some holiday décor , but I also found some great little stocking stuffers (not even on my list)!

These bath balms with winter themes were just too adorable to pass up and will make great stocking stuffers! These little cuties are only $2.00 each. They have multiple ones to choose from, so I’m sure you will find something they will love! Another great stocking stuffer that I ran across was these Christmas themed sock sets.

And again, they had these sets in multiple color and design combinations, so you are sure to find the perfect set. You could even open the set and split them up for multiple stockings as well. These sets were only $3.00! What an amazing deal!

There were several items in the Dollar spot to keep your little ones busy during the holidays, so you can get your wrapping done, decorating completed and baking in the oven! One of the fun items I found was these “grow your own marbles”.

There were multiple different items similar to this one, all with Christmas themes. Some were making ornaments, making little Christmas trees, watching reindeer grow, etc. These will definitely catch their attention and have them busy for hours!

One of my favorite finds (and I almost passed right over them) was these adorable gift card holders. They are knit gift card holders with a zipper closure. In looking at them, you would expect for them to be more expensive in nature because they are quite detailed and absolutely festive in every way!

Now, as promised, on to the holiday décor that I mentioned! From signs, plaques, pillows and trees, the dollar spot will satisfy all of those needs! These wooden signs with various Christmas sayings are just too darn cute to pass up and can be used in any room in the house! They are only $3.00 each!

Along with these, you can also find wooden word signs of all different colors in Christmas sayings. I chose the “believe” saying, but they had “joy” , and “merry Christmas” as examples of others available.

Colorful Christmas trees are always a fun and festive way to decorate any space. Target has you covered with these cute little colorful trees I found on my trip today. They come in varying sizes and colors so you can certainly mix an match to your liking! The plaid tray they are sitting is wooden and those come in multiple style and colors. I also picked one up in glitter red! And the bucket of snow balls! Come on, who does not want an indoor snowball fight (especially in South Texas where we don’t get real snow)?!!!

And last on my Target run, but certainly not least, my bedroom décor. I did find some of the items in the Dollar Spot, such as the accent pillows. These pillows are such a great bargain because they are decorated with different designs on both sides. How awesome is that? If you get tired of the design on one side, you can just flip them over the next day to the other side!

So I am already a huge fan of the Threshold Performance Sheets at Target and have been using them for some time. They have the stay in place binding on the side, which I love and also the deep pockets for larger mattresses. I also love that they have the silky, sateen blend! With all of that being said, I chose a solid black set as my base for my holiday décor bedding. I have linked these below for you. The holiday bedding I chose is a red and black Billie plaid, but they also had it in a white a tan pattern as well. It is a sateen and faux mink blend. I chose a large red accent pillow I found on the pillow aisle, where there are a variety of pillows to choose from! The throw is super adorable, a solid black with cute little bubbles at the ends!

https://www.target.com/p/performance-sheet-set-solids-400-thread-count-threshold-153/-/A-51846287?preselect=50068380#lnk=sametab

https://www.target.com/p/3pc-billie-plaid-mink-comforter-set/-/A-53621891?preselect=53620413#lnk=sametab

This was one of my favorite Target runs and also one of favorite decorating sessions! It really puts a festive spirit in the house and I plan on doing even more decorating and holiday activities in the near future. I will be sure and share those with you as well. I would love to see and hear about your holiday decorating, so please feel free to drop me a note in the comments and thanks for the read and follow! Much love and happy decorating! xoxo – SheShe

Versatility in Stripes

Versatility is the biggest bonus you can get when purchasing a piece of clothing. This striped top that I ran across at Diamonds and Rust Boutique in Huntsville, TX , is the perfect example of a versatile WIN!!!! I was super excited to find it in my size as well, being size small. This will be an item that will get multiple uses through out the seasons! In today’s blog, I am demonstrating just a few of the many ways to style a striped top, such as this one. I will also be linking a few similar tops for you!

The first way I styled this striped top is with a pair of white Kancan distressed cut off shorts. I simply tucked in the front and left the tail untucked for a comfy look. I also wore this out today to run errands and threw a plaid shirt around my waist and it was adorable! I’m wearing a pair of red Converse and a red tassle necklace from Kendra Scott to accessorize. Below are links for the shorts and shoes for you.

I accessorized with a plaid blanket scarf also from Diamonds and Rust Boutique and a Captain hat from H&M. The boots I’m wearing are from Target and I have linked those below for you as well.

Because Mom

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and if you are anything like me, your life is one gigantic moment. You literally are in constant motion. Do not fret though, today I am sharing some great last minute gift ideas that are sure to put a smile on every moms face and touch every moms heart!

I’m going to start with my favorite gift that I have come across this Mom’s Day season and I think the reason I like it the most is because it is the most sincere gift of all. One of the retailers I follow is: https://walkinlove.com/ . They actually posted a challenge on their blog, called the “#oneminutemomchallenge”. The purpose of the challenge is for you to record a one minute video to your mom and send it to her and then challenge others to do so as well. We all get so busy in our day to day lives that we lose sight of actually communicating with each other, so I love this idea! The video can be uploaded and saved by moms and replayed nonstop! I can only imagine the amount of tears of joy this challenge will be bringing this Mom’s Day! You can find the challenge through the website: https://walkinlove.com/ , or you can download the walk in love app from the app store on your smart phone, or you can find it on youtube at the link below.

The next best thing to your sweetness, is actual sweet stuff! That’s right, cookies! Mom is always cooking for everyone and never has time to make something sweet just for her. What better way to make her smile, then to send her something sweet! There are some great promotions going on right now at Cookies by Design and they do same day delivery! You can find everything sweet they have to offer on their website:

https://www.cookiesbydesign.com/

Every mom wants to be spoiled at least one day a year and what better way to spoil them then with jewelry?! It’s such a timeless gift that they can wear everyday or just when they want to think of you! One of my favorite places to get and give jewelry from is Kendra Scott. They are still offering shipping by Mom’s day if you order by today! They are also offering a few specials on their site today and have a variety of gift giving options such as this earrings and necklace set picture below! The link for their website is:

http://www.kendrascott.com

Last, but certainly not least, for those of you that have completely run out of time and options, there is the good old fashioned gift cards! I myself, as a Mom, can attest that I LOVE receiving them! There are literally so many options you can choose from nowadays that you practically can’t go wrong with this choice! From your mom’s favorite Boutique, to Spa gifts cards, Visa cards, Starbucks, Craft stores, I mean you name it and there is a gift card for it somewhere!

I hope this helps some of you out with your last minute ideas and took a little stress out of your life, even if for a moment!

Admin Professionals Day: In Appreciation

My dad had many famous sayings growing up, but one that always stuck with me was, “You should always take care of the people that take care of you.” He was a smart man! As an adult, and a Director of Administration, I know now exactly what he meant. On the daily, my day begins before I ever even leave the house. Phone calls, emails, text messages…. and then errands before I even arrive at the office. My life is generally a moving target from one moment to the next! That is at best. I try and organize my days and my week as best as I can, but as you all know, life happens, schedules change, issues arise. With all of this being said, I would NEVER get through one single day without the amazing support staff that I have. They are there each and every day, without fail taking care of details that I could never get to, so that I can manage the tasks at hand. My “tribe”, as I lovingly call them, think of the papers that will sit there for a month because they know I will never have the time to file them myself, the data entry that may seem minimal to them but saves me a million seconds each day, the filtering of phone calls so I am not wasting time on sales calls, the creation of invoices so I can quickly log in on the go and pay them, the purple pens (because they know that’s my favorite color) and of course the countless coffee runs to ensure I keep running! The list is honestly endless and I could not be more grateful and appreciative for them. Thankfully, there is a day that is dedicated JUST to recognize the amazing and awesome peeps these Administrative Professionals are!

In todays blog I am going to list a few ideas to help celebrate Admin Professionals Day! Hopefully this will give those of you that have some of these awesome individuals in your life as well, some great ideas to celebrate them!

Tiff ‘s Treats: Tiff’s Treats does fresh out of the oven cookie delivery! This is a great way to surprise them with something sweet for all the sweet things they do all year for you!

FTD Florists: Flowers are always a beautiful way of showing appreciation and they brighten up the day too! If you know what your Admin’s favorite flowers are, make it even more personal. Try and ensure they get their favs delivered to really give them a surprise! The website is : https://www.ftd.com

Gift Cards: Yes, simple and yet so appreciated. The list of gift cards that staff appreciate and would love to receive is countless. A few favs are Starbucks, Target, Chic Fila, and good old fashion Visa/Mastercards. These can be given in unique and fun ways as well, such as in a Starbucks coffee cup, or with balloons and place one inside one of the balloons! Just a few fun ideas.

Breakfast or Lunch: You can not go wrong by bringing the most important meal of the day, Breakfast! How about bringing some fresh baked muffins from a local bakery and some coffee! Or having a hot lunch delivered from a nice eatery? ! More than that, share some time eating with them and reminding them of your appreciation for them!

Cards Or Letters: This is one of my all time favorites. I love giving cards and writing letters to those in and out of appreciation. This is something they can read, keep and recollect on in the future. Absolutely priceless!

Words: Above all else, make sure you verbalize your appreciation. Words are by far the best form of appreciation you can ever give someone. Let the people who work long hours, late nights, early mornings, weekends, endless calls, meetings, through sickness, day after day, without hesitation, know they are important and valued!

And to all of my loyal tribe and to all of you faithful and hard-working Administrative Professionals doing what you do each and every day, I thank you! Happy Administrative Professionals Day!!! As always, much love and appreciation – XOXO – SheShe
