cute & little | dallas mom lifestyle blogger | sistema review | lunchbox ideas
Less than 3 weeks to go until school starts!  It seems like our schedule this summer has gotten more lax than others, so I've been getting myself prepared to get back into the the busy-ness of tight morning routines!  One of my biggest struggles when my kids first started going to school was figuring out what to pack them for lunch -- I don't know about you but it can be hard packing a lunch that is both nutritious and one that my kids will look forward to eating.  But, now that I have a few years of experience under my belt (and have learned how to balance multiple kids' tastes!), I'm sharing some tips on what and how I pack lunches!

I've been wanting to drop a few pounds for forever and after seeing one of my mom friends have huge success with intermittent fasting and a Ketogenic diet, I decided to start with intermittent fasting myself and see how that worked with my body. It's been a big mindset shift for me and I've seen a surprising difference in how it's actually helped me shed a few pounds and tone up! Sharing some weekly progress photos as well as details on intermittent fasting and how I incorporated it into my lifestyle!

It's August and it's official, I'm embracing back-to-school season!  I know even for me, transitioning from vacation mode back into work mode can be tough (anyone else get post-vacation blues or even Sunday scaries?).  Now that back-to-school season is upon us, having a few rituals that make this time fun can give my kids something to look forward to and make the switch to school mode easier!

cute & little | dallas beauty blog | summer lipsticks to try 2018 | #krogerbeautyevent | maybelline color sensational compulsion spicy mauve
Summer is all about bright colors and punchy prints, and it seems like every year I get the itch to change up my look with some new lip colors!  I stopped by Kroger last weekend as I was picking up groceries and noticed they were having a Beauty Event (save $5 when you spend $15 instantly at checkout!  Promotion ends August 7), so I took advantage of the sale and picked up some new lippie colors to try!  While actually I picked up 8 different shades, I absolutely fell in love with 4 of them!  My choices span a good range of formulas from matte to gloss as well as colors ranging from peach to pink, but you'll be glad to hear that they're all at drugstore prices!
