It’s 10:57 a.m. here in Houston, and I already need a cupcake. 🥴

I wish I could close my eyes and be back in Austin ordering A DOZEN chocolate cupcakes! 😩

If you haven’t tried cupcakes from @heycupcakeatx , you’re truly missing OUT!

p.s. This is coming from someone who doesn’t eat 2 cupcakes in a year! I’m not really a sweets person, but when you have a QUALITY CUPCAKE, it’s so hard to resist.

I had so much fun last night for #NationalAirMaxDay at @FomoFactory!

📍FOMO Factory, Houston Galleria Mall

The Air Max line from @nike has literally been a revolutionary staple for sneaker heads since 1987!

Did you know the original Nike Air Max was designed by Tinker Hatfield who began his illustrious career at Nike as an ARCHITECT! 🥰❤️

Check out my story for the REAL FUN!

Thank you @hergrails for this bomb event!!

SWIPE!

📍The Franklin Drive Thru Safari 🦒🦓

I think I had more fun than Riley.🥴🤣

4. This week will be full of opportunities.

Transformation Time!! 🦷 🪥

Alright, so I received my aligners from @byteofficial in the mail recently ,and I’m so excited! I’m really surprised it’s only going to take 15 weeks to fix my grill! 😁

I’m on day 5 (of week 1 🥴), and honestly I can feel my teeth moving all day long! I thought it would be irritating while I’m sleep, but it’s not bad at all!

I love that @byteofficial ‘a system is very user friendly (to avoid operator errors 🤣) and it’s super easy to communicate with your dentist + orthodontist if you have any questions!

Wanna know my favorite part?

THE HYPERBYTE!

This little device was specifically designed to safely straighten your teeth in up to half the time by using High Frequency Vibration! Just use it for 5 minutes a day and you’re good to go!

You better watch those people that bounce back from everything meant to destroy them. Those are God’s people, and they are not to be played with.

Meet Riley Jo’s new sister, Indy Jo! 🐶🐩

Here are a few things you should know about her:

🐶She’s literally a baby. She’s only 9 weeks, and she cries when she needs to use the restroom and when she can’t see you. We are currently potty training her and she’s doing a great job!
🐶She truly doesn’t shed; that’s why we’ve been on a waiting list for 6+ months for a Golden Doodle. I’ve always hated seeing a bunch of hair on someone.🥴
🐶 She’s so sweet and playful!
🐶 She’s already spoiled and loves dressing up...we think 🤣🥰
🐶 She’s a standard F1B, so she’s small now, but she will get big and more beautiful in about a year!
🐶 She pretty much goes everywhere with us! So, if I can’t bring Indy Jo and Riley Jo, I can’t come...🤣

This body of work is unmatched. It’s a “clean the house with wine in hand and Ari on the record player” kind of night. ❤️🥰

Drop your favorite line below!! Mine is:

A Dollar Tree wine glass is in the air
André will get me there
No longer afraid of the dark
'Cause that light bill changed my heart
Made a nigga act smart

Meet Kiki!

My “driver” while I was in a Dubai desert.

While it’s really fun riding a camel 🐫, it’s also a bumpy ride! They way they walk on the sand is so scary, and best believe I holding on for dear life!!

Have you rode a camel before?! Comment below!!

📍Beaumont, Texas

World’s Largest Fire Hydrant 💦

Riley and I went exploring and found this awesome 24’ Dalmatian-spotted fire hydrant! This fire hydrant was actually donated to the City of Beaumont by the Walt Disney Company on March 9, 1999 for the re-release of one of our favorite animated movies “101 Dalmatians.” Beaumont was chosen from over 300 museums across the country as the final site.

Like Nike said...just do it.

Yes, it’s scary.
Yes, it’s nerve racking.
Yes, you may fail; but what do you do when you get back up? Brush your shoulders off and get back to work!!

TAKE THE BIG LEAP!
