1. HOUSTON LIVESTOCK SHOW AND RODEO

This past month a friend got tickets to the Rodeo, and invited a bunch of girls to go with her.  Eric Church was the entertainment.

It’s really hard for me to relax and have fun, so I scheduled this night and tried hard to cut loose.  We decided that we would all eat anything and everything we wanted so we all ended up with stomach aches in the middle of the night.  (I guess beer, ice cream and barbeque can do that.) Who knew?  The most fun part was watching these ladies sing old 90’s tunes in the car on the late night drive home. Good times!

2. RODEO WEAR

This is how you do the Rodeo in Houston.  There’s a lot of outdoor walking, so hair tied back, or a hat is good, jeans are a must, and Texasness in glammy mode is needed.  Check the full blog post  here!

3. MARILYN MONROE

I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in a grande opening event at Dress for Less in Houston! The store was also running a charity event in conjunction with Dress for Success Houston.  The charity helps women in transition.  The store had fabulous discounted clothing as well as home decor and I fell in love with these Marilyn Monroe murals for the home!  They also had items such as Jessica Simpson or Steve Madden shoes and more!  If you’re in Houston, check the blog post to learn more!

Have I mentioned that I work in fragrance and cosmetics?  (Among my other few jobs/positions/hobbies.)  I took some shots for a work related event we are having.  I am my happiest when I get to create!

5. DAVE RAMSEY

My Valentine’s Day gift from my husband was a Dave Ramsey event coming to Houston in March.  How romantic.  I already listen to Dave dispense financial advice to morons on the radio every day so I was not totally thrilled to go to this event.  I have literally no credit cards, both our cars are paid off, and we are in lock down mode financially so I didn’t feel I needed to go.

To our surprise, this event was an Entrepreneur Leadership event, which lasted all day, and it was wonderful.  We have a business. So we are Entrepreneurs.  We discuss rather loudly at times, who to hire, who not to hire.  hiring was one of the touchstones of the event.  Dave agreed with everything I say when it comes to hiring and doing business.  My husband left wishing he’d gone to the class years ago.  People can be the downfall of your business, so it’s very important who you chose to allow into your universe.  I wrote an article here before attending the event, so check it out if you do any hiring in your position.

We sat in the third row, and were  excited to spend the day together. the most important thing though, was that Dave validated my business knowledge so it’s helping us to see things the same in respect to our business. I would advise all companies, large and small to seek the Ramsey EntreLeadership class for your hiring managers.

BLACK LEATHER HOUSTON RODEO

     For those of you in Russia or Australia…once a year in Texas we have the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo which is held for a few weeks every year at the beginning of March.

     There is always great musical acts, food, a carnival, petting zoo and late night country western dancing and various shops. It’s basically a huge celebration of our Texas heritage!

     It’s always a blast, and people watching is part of the fun especially since there’s no shortage of executive types from the cube farm dressed in their cowboy attire mixed in with the real deal.

 

     Most people seem to try to go at least one night per year, but I know of many people who go every single night.

My husband had not been to the Rodeo in years and we had never once gone together until he decided to get last minute tickets for the Toby Keith concert.

We checked out the animals and ate way too much before settling in at the concert.

I wasn’t necessarily planning on wearing a hat, but the wind was absolutely insane and hats are fabulous for days when you want low maintenance hair!

    I have quite a few western hats which are mainly used to hide vacation hair!

     The small silver bag has some fun bling and as hard as I tried to force myself into wearing small, reserved earrings…it didn’t happen. The silver dangling door knockers with rhinestones just went better.

     When reaching for a necklace, I actually chose three and wore them all for some drama!

     As for the wonderful black leather jacket? It was purchased with a pair of black leather slacks with the waist embellished with bling but the entire outfit would have been way too perfect, matchy-matchy and cartoon-like, so I opted to dress the jacket down with some loose and comfy jeans.

     My personal Facebook page right now is speckled with photo uploads from friends in their western attire proudly attending Rodeo events, it’s just our culture.

      This was our brief Rodeo excursion and we are hoping to squeeze in one more before it ends!
