In case y’all didn’t know, we both attend The University of Texas at Austin, HOOK ‘EM! We haven’t really done a post like this before, but wanted to do a quick little roundup for you all for the big TX/OU game this weekend in Dallas! We try to go every year because it’s so much fun and you get to go to the Texas State Fair after the game, which is always fun!;) We don’t eat a lot of the fried stuff that is there, but we do love the turkey legs. I CAN’T WAIT!
If you all went to Texas, or OU, you know that girls don’t typically wear jerseys and big t-shirts, haha. I love pairing a cute, flowy dress with some booties and some cute jewels like this cuff and these earrings!
It kind of killed me to even make a collage for you OU girls, but I was happy to help out;)
I know that the game is just a couple of days away, BUT since everything I picked out has the ability to get free shipping OR pickup at the store nearest you, you can get your items ASAP! Can you all tell I do this way too often?
I have been compensated by Sundown Naturals® and Pollinate Media Group for this post as part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Sundown Naturals® but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #GoodnessGiveaway #sharethegoodness http://my-disclosur.es/OBstVIf there is one thing I am particular about, it is my morning routine. I am a major creature of habit, and hate straying off my routine;) I thought I would share my morning routine with you since I get a ton of questions about what vitamins I take and how I like to start my day. Each one of these “tasks” are something I absolutely must do each morning or I just feel “off”.The first one is hot lemon water. I used to be SO bad about drinking enough water, and I still am pretty bad about it some days when I am busy. Drinking hot water with fresh lemon squeezed in it is great to start off your day and has a ton of health benefits. Also, for some reason, I am able to drink a ton more when it is hot like that in the morning. I also try to drink a ton of water throughout the day and constantly have water with me at all times. I am a major fan of coffee. Not only do I love the smell of it (and the caffeine boost), but I also love the taste of it. I drink mine black with no sugar and no cream, nada. This is an important one, eating breakfast. I think this is definitely something a lot of people tend to skip. I used to skip this all of the time in college, but now, it is something I look forward to each morning. It is a great way to kickstart your day and keep that metabolism going. I always like to eat something with protein, like eggs and fruit and veggies. I am not usually great about this one, but I have been trying to be better about applying sunscreen on my face every morning. Although I am only 25, it is so important to take care of your skin at an early age.
Last, but not least, I take my daily vitamins. I usually take vitamins like Vitamin B and D, as well as Biotin and Calcium. On occasion, I will take Melatonin as well! I recently found these Sundown Naturals® adult gummy vitamins at Walmart, which come in a variety of vitamins, including a Women’s Multivitamin. Walmart is the place to buy vitamins as they have them for the entire family. I love that the Sundown Naturals® gummy vitamins are gluten free and dairy free, and contain no artificial flavors◊. I purchased the Women’s Multivitamin, which includes Biotin to support healthy hair, skin, and nails with added Vitamins C and D to support bone and immune health.

Now that we are in full fall swing, we are all about the chunky knits! We had a few requests to share some sweaters that are affordable, but good quality, so we rounded up a bunch of our favorites all under $100.
We’ve been getting a lot of questions about what our travel must haves are! We wanted to do a quick post for you all to share what we almost always take with us on our trips, whether it is a short, weekend trip or longer trip.
We love a variety of skincare and beauty products, but we also think having certain convenience items like a good water bottle,hair dryer, travel tote, etc. are critical! SHOP our favorites below!
This suitcase is great for a carry on piece and is super durable! I also love this quilted tote for traveling because it is soft, but also hold a ton! How cute is this passport case?! And, this portable charger is so necessary if you are on your phones as much as we are!
We also love Dermalogica products! We have been using their products for years, and our mom actually uses their products and got us hooked on them at an early age! We love their ultra calming cleanser and their sunscreen because it doesn’t clog your pores, and is great for sensitive skin!
We tried this Revision Skincare Intellishade anti-aging tinted moisturizer in the summer, and instantly fell in love! First off, it is great protection from the sun, AND it gives you a light layer of coverage, so it is great to wear under your makeup OR just for putting on when you’re heading out to the gym in the morning or for some quick errands! I love the matte one because I already have shiny skin sometimes!
In addition to some of our favorite skincare products, we are OBSESSED with this toothpaste. We have been using it for several years now, and will not use anything else! It whitens your teeth, and leaves you breath refreshed. We both also use this teeth whitening gel and put it in some trays we had made at our dentist office (in addition to some others we use sometimes!) Speaking of dentists, since we get asked a lot, we go to Dr. Bergdorf in Dallas. He is great, and his staff is SO nice and helpful. I have had my fair share of cavities, and have had nothing but the best experiences each time!
We love using an electric toothbrush, and recently got this Sonicare Diamond one that is super new and charges in a glass cup it comes with. How cool is that?!
Of course, we could go on and on about what we love, but these are most of them! Hope this post was helpful for y’all!
What we love about Barrington Gifts is that their products are made with luxurious materials, but are also sold at a reasonable price. They offer personalization on a variety of their products, including totes, diaper bags, duffel bags, and laptop cases.
There are tons of patterns to choose from such as camo and plaid, with the option to add colored stripes, initials, and a monogram style. They even offer men’s accessories such as wallet clips and duffel bags, which are great gift ideas for your man;)Oh yeah, AND, they offer game day-themed bags, so you can customize a ton of accessories in your school colors! How awesome is that?!
I have been getting a few questions about my macbook skin that is marble, which I LOVE! They have a ton of other patterns, but I love the marble one, and you can customize any tech device!

Even though we are far from wearing any kind of scarf in Dallas right now, we have gotten a few requests for a post on how to style scarfs! We love that scarfs can add a fun pop to any outfit, while also keeping you warm. They also can be worn SO many ways (some I didn’t even know about!)
Blanket scarfs like this one are great for fall because you can throw them on and wrap them around as a shawl.
You can also use a blanket scarf to make a thick, cozy bundle around your neck for the cooler temps!
We love pairing a light, printed scarf with a striped tee and mixing it up with other prints like leopard.
Another way to wear a scarf is to just drape a fun, printed scarf around your neck paired with a leather moto jacket.
As the temperatures get cooler, we like to pair a blanket scarf with some booties and a long-sleeved tee.
I love these tips on how to style a blanket scarf:*image via pinterest
