Birthday brunch | Mother turns 50!

Last Sunday my family celebrated my mother's 50th birthday by having brunch at the Double Eagle in Mesilla, NM. The Double Eagle is a hotel converted into a restaurant, rumoured to be haunted. As one who is easily terrified, I would normally stay away from this restaurant, however the food is sooOoo good and it's a really fun place to visit with family or friends.

Review | NUXE Rêve De Miel


If you've done your rounds within the beauty blogosphere (oh, technical terms), you will know the popularity of the NUXE Rêve de Miel lip balm. After doing research and hearing EssieButton (shock horror) sing its praises for well over a year now, I decided to splurge and give it a go. I bought my Rêve de Miel from Birchbox about two months ago when I redeemed my points for the Balm's How 'Bout Them Apples Lip and Cheek Creme. Obviously I had high expectations and even higher hopes as my lips have been suffering from severe dehydration. Initially, saying I was disappointed is an understatement as I wore the lip balm week after week every night before bed, expecting to wake up with the perfect pout when I just woke up with what appeared to be the same lip situation as before. Not one to let a $20 lip balm go to waste, I continued to use it with the intention of finishing the tub of product.
