Vacation in Cabo and Hot Pink Lipstick (Butter London Lip Crayon Giveaway)

My husband and I recently spent 5 amazing days in Cabo at the Esparanza Resort. He 'won' the trip for his performance at work. And wow- what a prize!!

While in Cabo we ate, drank and played. During the day we went on excursions like kayaking two miles out into the open ocean, snorkeling, boating and zip-lining.

The scenery was amazing.

And beyond all the activities, I really loved the chance to get dressed up every night.

In my bag for Cabo, I brought lots of sun dresses, heels and my new favorite lipstick. Can you spy the hot pink shade in all my trip photos? That's because I wore it the entire trip-- snorkeling & zip-lining included :)

It's the Butter London Lip Crayon. It wears like a lipstick, but is soft like a gloss. I felt like it protected my lips from the sun and wind too. The crayon has a built in sharpener. It's an all-in-one, no liner needed. And I just really like the way hot pink lipstick brightens up my face.

So I am bringing a bit of Cabo fun to you-- in the form of some free Butter London Lip Crayons!
Win this bundle of 5 beautiful shades- then put on a sundress, swipe on your lip color and live it up.

Like my new favorite quote says, "Be a beautiful cupcake in a world full of muffins."

(And who doesn't want a lip crayon that makes you feel like a cupcake?! Cupcakes are the best! )

To win, just use the Rafflecopter widget below. The winner will be chosen on July 22nd.

Make a Cute Tank with a Bow on the Back (T-Shirt Hack)

Did you have a great 4th of July? We sure did! With all the festivities, my girls and I need something patriotic to wear. I was at Michael's and found some "Americana" t-shirts. I loved the graphics (how cute are the designs?!), but the shape wasn't great (big and boxy) and they only came in adult sizes. So I bought three of them and decided to try out a new t-shirt hack.

This hack is easy, turn a boxy T-Shirt into a Racer Back Tank with a Bow!

1. Cut off the sleeves. I cut inside the seam. Start with less, you can always cut off more if needed.

2. On the back only, cut in little deeper- so it looks like a racer back tank.

3. Cut the bottom of shirt to the desired length. All three of these shirts are an adult small, but after the hack- one fit my 5 year old and one fit my 9 year old. To get the length 'just right'- use a shirt you already own as a guide. Lay it on top to help you figure out how much to cut off the bottom. I also rounded it instead of cutting straight across. It makes the shirt 'hang' cuter.

4. Use a scrap from the sleeve to gather the back of the tank. Tie the scrap into a knot - which looks like a bow!

We wore the shirts to both the 'Stars and Stripes in Southlake' on July 3rd and our neighborhood 'Bike Parade' on July 4th.

Now that the holiday weekend is over, I am going to try this t-shirt hack with some of my girls' other t-shirts. This would be cute for a camp shirt don't you think?

Cinnamon Shore, Port Aransas

We decided to take our girls on long weekend trip to Port Aransas, Texas. This little beach town is located on Mustang Island, located about 6.5 hours from DFW. Jeff and I had gone multiple times during college and once when Afton was a toddler. But we hadn't been back in a while. Then a friend told me about Cinnamon Shore and I knew I was ready to go again.

Cinnamon Shore is a resort style community. It reminds me of Destin, Florida. Lots of beautiful homes, organized activities for the kiddos, and good food. Their website is gorgeous and worth a look. I used my iphone to photograph our trip. But if you want to see the true beauty of Cinnamon Shore, be sure to find them online here.
