Shopping Hack for Ray-Ban Sunglasses

January 17, 2016

Recently, I went to Sunglass Hut to debate if I should drop $200 on new frames after my cheap sunnies from Target broke. When I was about to talk myself into buying my second pair of aviators, I wondered if I could just replace the lenses in the Ray-Ban frames I already have. To my surprise, I could!

You can order lenses from a Ray-Ban distributor for very cheap by calling Luxottica at 1-800-343-5594. All you need is the size, color code and frame type to order new authentic lenses for less than $25 a lens.

Enchanted Rock: Hill Country Adventure

January 7, 2016

My family and I spent New Years together exploring Texas. We started in Dallas, went to Fort Worth, drove through Waco, stopped in Georgetown, visited Austin and ended up in the hill country. It was a week packed with adventure! One of my favorite stops was our spontaneous trip to Enchanted Rock in Fredericksburg. The famous granite dome sits half-buried in the Texas Hill Country.

Holiday Champagne Cocktails

If you think about it, everyone contributes something special to the holiday - Grandma cooks Christmas dinner, cousin Jen who puts extra thought into each gift, Aunt Lucy takes all the pictures and a crazy uncle Bob makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

Easy Holiday Guac!

December 7, 2015

Speaking of holiday parties... who is freaking out about bringing a dish to your next get-together? For someone who doesn't entertain often or cooks for only one person at a time, bringing a dish can be nerve-racking!

Luckily, my holiday guac is a party-pleaser. It's light, delicious and most importantly it is EASY to make. I serve the guac room temperature with tortilla chips or as a salad.
