Happy weekend! Hope you all are staying healthy and safe. Since most people will be staying at home a lot the next few weeks, we thought we would share some air fryer recipes you can try and experiment with.

Before we get into the recipes, we wanted to share this affordable spring look from Walmart that anyone can wear! PS- they offer free shipping on orders over $50!

We were a little unsure about these flare jeans on us, since we are so petite, but we actually ended up loving them.

We are wearing size 00 short in these jeans for reference, and paired it with this ivory knit sweater that is perfect for spring. It is lightweight and only $17. We are wearing size s in it for reference.

For a more casual look, we paired these white sneakers with it, but you could dress up this look with heels.

Now, for the recipes:

If you don’t have an air fryer, we HIGHLY recommend one, and they’re fun to play around with. This one and this one are great options.

Being Honest With Feelings

February 27, 2020

This is definitely more of a personal post, but one that I wanted to share because I think it is important to talk about. As you all know, I am single, and dating. I have been in several longer relationships in the past, and when I was dating in the past, I would not feel the chemistry, or connection, and would either ghost the person, or just make up some excuse.

Yes, we all do it, but, is it the right thing to do? No. While I have been dating this year, I have really made it a point to be honest with my feelings. Honest with my feelings internally, and externally. I go on dates and really try my best to keep an open mind. After the date, or dates, I try to journal about it and really tune in to my feelings.

If I am feeling like the spark or chemistry isn’t there for me, I really have been making it a point to be honest with that person, and myself. It is not fair to the other person to lead them on, and to not express that you’re just not feeling it, or not where you need to be.

I have personally told a few people this I have dated, and let me tell you, it is not easy to do. I am not just texting someone and saying, “Thank you, I am not feeling it,” I am actually meeting up with people in person and expressing my raw feelings. It is hard to tell someone that your spark just isn’t there. Sometimes, I don’t know what or why it is missing, but it just is.

You just have to remind yourself that your gut and intuition always know, and you need to trust it. Trust me, I know it can be hard, but you will feel so much better that you were honest with them and yourself. Ghosting can be the easy thing to do, but this is what makes you the respectful person.

Just my two cents, but one that I have struggled with and have grown a lot from, so I thought I would share!

And now, about this super cute spring transitional look from Walmart. These stretchy, ripped jeans from Sofia Jeans are so comfortable and fit perfectly. I have size 00 on. This tie dye top is also from the same line, Sofia Jeans, and so cute and on trend. I have size s on for reference.

All of these pieces below can be found at your local Walmart now! If you live in Dallas, they can be found at these stores:

Store Number: 1216 Dallas-Ft. Worth TX
Store Number: 2463 Dallas-Ft. Worth TX
Store Number: 2996 Dallas-Ft. Worth TX

I love that all of their pieces are so affordable, and on trend! Also, if you spend $50+, your order ships free. I love that these Sofia Jeans come in shorter lengths for petites, like me!

Tips For Getting Through A Busy Holiday Season

November 20, 2019

It is almost Thanksgiving, which means holiday season is here, and that equals pure craziness and chaos! We don’t know about you, but we have been busy bees, and we would be lying if we told you we haven’t been stressed and had breakdowns every couple of days. I (Alexis) shared a little bit about this in Instagram stories, but my anxiety has been at an all-time high, and I am not proud of it.

It feels like there is not enough time in the day, and I feel like I am just running from thing to thing, and just going through the motions. I know this is just temporary, but I wanted to share some things I have been trying to implement in hopes that it will ease my anxiety a little bit, and may help you all, too!

Take time to meditate + make lists

This is something I have been good with at times, and horrible with at times. Recently, I have made zero effort to meditate, or get my head right, which is not okay. I end up working crazy hours, and then wonder why I feel anxious and stressed, haha. Well, DUH!

In the past few days, I have started to meditate in the mornings by using either an app like Calm, or just finding a short video online. I have only been doing it 2-5 minutes, just because that is all I can do right now, but it is better than nothing, right?

I also love making a list of the things I MUST do, and the things that I WANT to do. Most of the time, I try to do it ALL, and that is just not possible.

Go on walks/ be outside

Going on walks always helps me to clear my head, and really focus on what is around me, like sights and smells, and to let my anxious thoughts pass. Whatever helps you clear your head, whether it is yoga, running, or the gym, is super important to do!

Make time for friends and family

A major one, and obviously not rocket science, but it is often overlooked. When I get busy, I tend to let this fall, and so I have been making an effort to keep my calendar filled with social activities and family. I ALWAYS feel better when I am with family and friends, and I think most people would agree!

About this look: it is SUPER affordable and it is so comfortable, more importantly. This waffle pullover (only $19) is so comfortable (wearing size S) and I love it with these ripped jeans, which are SO stretchy and comfy (wearing size 0), These leopard sneakers (size 7) are such a cute find, and surprisingly comfortable to walk in for long periods of time. I found all of these pieces from Walmart, and I love that everything they have is budget-friendly, and most things ship free over $50, so you can get your items fast and for free!

How To Style A Sweater Dress

November 13, 2019

We found this ADORABLE sweater dress that is only $29 from Walmart. Can you believe this steal? We love how comfy it is, and thought we would share some tips on how to style a sweater dress for fall and winter. It can be tricky to know what looks best with a dress, especially if you’re more petite, like us!

We have been loving all of the cute and affordable things at Walmart. They have so many good pieces for the holidays coming up, and even better, some of their pieces ship free with two-day shipping.

Add a jacket or scarf

We love adding a cozy jacket or plaid scarf to add some color to the dress, and also for warmth! You can also add tights or cute hose underneath.

Pair with different shoe option

For this look, we are wearing some suede boots, but you could also do booties or some sneakers.

Accessorize with belts and bags

We love adding a belt to a dress to create more of a “waist” and hourglass shape. You can also add fun bags or jewelry.

Wear a button down shirt underneath

Sometimes, you will layer a button down shirt underneath your sweaters. Similar to that, you can do the same with this sweater dress, and it actually looks pretty cute!

This is a perfect outfit for Thanksgiving or the holidays coming up, and something you can wear over and over again!

The Importance Of Taking A Social Media Break

August 25, 2019

We just got back from the best trip with our family to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary! We created so many new memories, and had a great time. While we were there, we took a few days off from working so that we could really be present, and not be plugged into social media.

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE our job and getting to connect with you all and interact, but it definitely weighs on us when we are constantly on our phones and checking messages, posts, planning out content, etc. Even if you don’t have a job on social media, you probably feel the pressure and anxiety that can come with it.

For the longest time, we had not take ONE day off of work. We would post every single day, no matter what, but in June, we went on a trip for our birthday, and decided to take two days off. We didn’t check email, get on Instagram, or anything work related.

At first, it was a little anxiety-ridden because we are so accustomed to always being on our phones, but after a few hours, it felt so nice, and by the second day, we felt so much better.

So, on this trip, we decided to take days off again, and it was so needed, and so worth it! Even if it is not social media, it is good to step back from work, whatever that looks like for you. Whether it is going to a desk job, being a mom, volunteering, etc., we all need time away from it to be better at it on a daily basis.

We are thinking of taking at least one day off every 2 weeks, and think it will help us with a better overall mental health!

On a side note, this pink neon cropped sweatshirt is SO cute and comfy! It also comes in other colors, too, like neon green. We have size xs in it, and it would be cute with shorts or leggings, too! We have the smallest size on in these stretchy skinny jeans and love how comfy they are. You can wear them to travel in, without being uncomfortable!

We found these great and affordable pieces at Walmart. We love that we can find really cute pieces for fall for usually under $30! They also offer free two-day delivery on a lot of their pieces, and in-store pickup, which we use all of the time!
