Ok so I know peeps on Facebook are doing the "one thing you're thankful for every day of November" which I think is wonderful but that's just too much work because let's be honest it's hard to come up with 30 things, so I decided to just do a post on the top 5 things I am always thankful for.
1. God.
The big man upstairs has been so good to us and has blessed us with so much. Everyone in my family is healthy, my family in Monterrey has been kept safe from the violence around them, we have a roof over our heads, food on the table, lots of love, and our career paths are looking bright and are headed in the right direction. Thanks sweet 8lb baby Jesus. (Talladega Nights anybody?)
2. My husband and family.
Lucas is my biggest fan and my one and only. He cheers me up when I'm down, brings me back down to earth when my head is in the clouds, and best of all makes me laugh...a lot. I feel so thankful that I get to experience life with my best friend and soul mate by my side. I'm one lucky gal.
My parents are the bomb. I don't know what I would do without their love, encouragement, support, and words of wisdom. Things from Big Martha like "prissy I weighted (Mexican accent) 5 lbs. less than you no puede ser" I could probably do without but I love them and am thankful for them no matter what they say.
Danny. I talk to my minion probably like 4-5 times a day. She is my one and only favorite sissy and we get silly together. I love my Danny poo soooo much and I'm thankful I get to have her as a sister.
3. Lilly.
I love Bo too but Lilly is my baby. She is spoiled rotten and it's my fault but I wouldn't have it any other way. She wakes up when I do, stays up until I do, sleeps with me, sits on the couch with me and she does it all to keep me company. She has nothing to give but love and whole lot of it. Nothing cheers me up more when I'm down than her cute little face and some Lilly licks. Im slightly obsessed...I think I realized it has reached an all time high in Wills and Estates the other day when I was taking serious notes on how to leave a trust for the care of your pet in your will. Call me crazy but I'm thankful that I get to be her mommy.
4. My friends.
What would I do without my party girls?! We are a mish mash of different personalities that have a great time together and are there for each other when it matters most. From Mystic, to Sharyland, to Baylor, I am thankful for the friends that I've made along the way and that uI am privileged to still call my friends today.
5. This last one is really cheesy and kind of annoying but I've got to just put it out there: our wedding.
Feeling thankful for our wedding has been on my mind a lot lately because I've been contacted about it a lot lately...it's probably just because it's fall and everyone is in the middle of planning their spring and summer weddings but I've definitely gotten an influx of questions recently. I can't believe it's been a year and a half since we got married and to this day I get calls, texts, emails, and LOTS of facebook messages from girls planning their own weddings wanting to know where I got something or to simply compliment us on something. I feel so flattered and honored that both guests and other people loved something about our wedding enough to contact me about it a year and a half later...it makes me feel like we did a good job! From the band, to food, to flowers, to pictures, wedding planner, bridal tennis shoes, makeup, honeymoon, etc. Ive gotten the question. So for that I'm thankful. (Told ya kinda annoying but I was/still am obsessed with our wedding as every girl should be so sorry I'm not sorry).
This is prob my last post until after law finals this semester so happy holidays! Xoxoo

10 Go To Beauty Products
My name is Priscilla and I'm beauty product junkie. I blame Big Martha for my problem but in a good way. Big Martha was a nazi when it came to beauty and taking care of your face ever since Dan and I were Tweens. When I started wearing makeup, if I fell asleep with it on my mom would literally come wake me up no matter what time it was and would make me take it off, which is why I never to this day will go to sleep with makeup on...even if I've had one too many glasses of bubbly. (minus my 21st and 24th bdays...we will let twice in over a decade slide).
I got my first facial at age 12 and went once a month from then on until I graduated from high school. Waco was a little shady so I would only get a facial when I went home to McAllen and now I'm a married law student on a budget so needless to say my once a month track record no longer stands, but that doesn't mean I am any less of a beauty product addict.
Every girl has there go to products and I have 10 products that I absolutely could not live without:
1. Clinique Dramatically Moisturizing face cream. This is my absolute #1 go to product. I'm so loyal to this face cream I'll never ever switch. I put it on after I wash my face in the morning, before I put my makeup on, and when I'm getting ready for bed. Sometimes I'll even put it on over my makeup in the middle of the day to freshen up. Moisturizing your face 4 times a day excessive? Not in my book.
2. Biore Deep Cleansing nose strips.
Oh em gee. There is nothing more rewarding than pulling one of these off of your nose and looking at all the blackheads it got. Kinda gross but nice to know it works. Doing this once a week does the trick for me.
3. MAC makeup remover wipes.
Perfect if you're lazy like me and literally just want to wipe off your makeup. Takes 2 seconds...done and done.
4. Kate Somerville Eradikate.
Thank you Paige Hardison for introducing me to this product 4 years ago. Literally will make any little blemish disappear over night. It's pink and you might end up looking like you have chicken pox once you're done spotting your face with it but it works like magic.
5. La Prairie revitalizing eye gel.
It's never too early to start wearing eye gel/cream. I love how I'm being proactive about preventing wrinkles and how it brightens up the area around the eyes by diminishing those pesky under eye bags. A little bit of this goes a long way.
6. Vaseline.
There is nothing worst than dry and chapped lips...especially during this time of the year. 3 times a day keeps my pout looking fabulously moisturized.
7. Keihls Creme de Corps.
If you haven't noticed I'm obsessed with moisturizing. I hate seeing people in public with ashy knees and elbows and crackly heels of the feet. Vom. Put some lotion on and get a pedicure dry people of the world! This is the best cream ever...lasts all day and isn't greasy. Love to put it on after showering to keep my gams looking silky smooth.
8. Kate Somerville 360 Tanning Towelettes.
Love love love. Who doesn't look better with a tan?! It makes you look thinner (at least thats what i say to myself. Bah.) and like you just came back from an exotic vacay. Its so easy and affordable! My only tip is if you have a big event coming up do it 2 days before your event so that you can let it sit over night, then shower the next day, and retouch any areas if needed. You'll be looking like a sexy sun goddess in no time!
9. MAC Studio Finish Concealer.
My first makeup item came from MAC and I've always been a fan. This concealer rocks and definitely covers up those dark circles under my eyes whether it be from late night studying or a night out with my hubby and friends.
10. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick.
Bronzer, blush, highlighter all in one. Comes in a series of colors for all different skin tones. My morning routine is basically concealer, shimmer brick, Vaseline and go!
