She Did That, Again: Tamar Braxton Launches TamarCollection.com
Monday, November 17, 2014
Tamar Braxton launched her clothing line exclusively online at TamarCollection.com and it is fabulous. But did we really expect anything less from the Diva? To sum it up, her collection is fun, and refreshingly chic at a wonderful price.
We love her collection but here is what she had to say about it:
“Anyone who knows me knows I’m all about looking fabulous without breaking the bank. So when designing this collection, it was important that the line had a wide variety of looks. A little everyday fashion, but also some runway looks at incredible prices. It is important to me that all of my fans feel like there is something for them” says Braxton.
The collection is a perfect mix. It is easy to see how the items would pair together. It is obvious from the welcome page that she wanted to do something that exceeded expectation. I mean, the site is even nice to just look at! And thankfully, the beauty doesn't stop there. The patterns and designs fit seamlessly with today's trends. While a lot of them boast a simplistic design, they send a powerfully confident message.
What makes the clothing line and website more special is the new virtual fitting room. It is insanely accurate! It asks for either all of your measurements, or simply your height and weight to give you a great idea of what the item would look like on you.
"Tamar Collection is the only US-based fashion brand to use a photo-accurate, virtual fitting room solution in its e-commerce store. This technology enables shoppers to check the fit of any garment on a virtual avatar after entering his/her precise body shape and size. This technology will improve customer satisfaction and help eliminate the frustrating problem that e-shoppers experience of having to return items that do not fit."
Here are just a few of our favorites:
This is beautiful and perfect for any holiday outing.
So stylish for a relaxing Saturday outing or Sunday brunch.
These will finish off any outfit.
SHE DID THAT!

Dia De Los Muertos-A Celebration to Remember
Monday, November 3, 2014
Dia De Los Muertas is a hispanic holiday where families gather to remember those who have passed. The traditions include building altars and leaving possessions on the graves of the loved ones.
Elizabeth Gilbert- following our calling
Elizabeth’s story was truly eye opening. She described her
life as “going as planned.” She had done
everything right, everything that was expected. And, she was finally at the
point where she should have been begun a family.
One problem, she -like many others- felt restless. She would
ended up on the floor of her bathroom every night around 3 am, crying. She said
something didn’t feel right. She needed more..
and she was fully aware that what she was doing was easy. And what she
was about to do, terribly difficult.
During the process of her two year divorce, she found herself praying and crying in one of the busiest post offices in New York. During
this session, the universal voice that had been talking to her told her to go
out into New York and find something beautiful.
She thought to herself, “Beautiful? In New York?” But, none
the less, she said felt resilient and determinded. Upon stepping foot out into
the big city to begin her mission, there in the street was a line of elephants
all dressed up and festive.
It would be a year later that she set out on her ultimate
quest. Any hard times she hit through that year were often greeted with
Elephants, on sweaters, necklaces,
newspapaers. Always a friendly reminder that, while her “planned life” was
ending, but her real journey was just beginning.
One of her connecting examples is a story of a mother, 28, 5
kids, married. Again, sounds typical. Until one day, her husbands decides to
never come home. That day, that women did a few things, got a job, and decided
she would see the world by putting a $1 in a coffee can every day. She also
decide that her life wouldn’t stay that way. 20 years later,
empty-nested, she cashed in those coffee cans and bought a freight
ticket to spend a year going around the world.
Now the surprise isn’t in that she did it, she had promised
herself she would.
It is in the fact that her kids were shocked because they
could never have imagined that that would have been one of her dreams. They
hadn’t ever thought that their mother wanted anything more than to provide for
them. (I know I am definitely guilty of
this.)
The lesson in this,
is listen to the universal voice. If something feels wrong, it is because you
are meant to be doing else.
Deepak Chopra: Love and Compassion [Part 2]
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Again thanks to Toyota for allowing me to experience the Oprah Life You Want Weekend in Houston.
It was truly inspirational.
Oprah's first speaker, Deepak Chopra, respected for his holistic views, was a breath of fresh air. He outlined "7 Steps to an Awesome Life" help embrace and love your life. While these are a simple overview, I feel like they are thought provoking enough for you to apply and enjoy.

Standing O-vation for the Zaky
While attending Life You Want Weekend Houston, I was introduced to the most amazing story.
Yamile Jackson, son Zachary Jackson, invertor of the Zaky was presented with a $25,000 grant from Toyota.
The Zaky, available here, started out as a way for Yamile to help comfort her son while she had to leave him in the hospital. She bought garden gloves, filled them with beads to help hold her scent while she slept. She then left them to help comfort Zachary.
The nurses recognized how well Zach slept that night and all the other nights after. When Zachary was better an able to leave the hospital, they called Yamile and asked if she could bring in more gloves. Since then, she has produced some 40,000 Zakys which are in use in over 300 hospitals around the world.
Such an amazing story that was definitely deserving of a Standing O-vation!
Thank you Toyota for allowing me to attend such a wonderful event.

I've been on the road a lot lately and that has me missing home.
So My Favorite Items of the Week are all about Texas and ease of travel.
You can't go wrong with this beautiful Texas shape bracelet. It goes with pretty much any outfit and blends effortlessly with other accessories. It's the perfect balance between State Pride and chic.
You know how your make-up is all over your purse? Well this is the perfect solution. It is neat, compact, and easy to see, and exactly what my purse needs. I saw this on Instagram right before I left the states and can't wait to get my hands on it.
This is a must-have while traveling.
It helps give my phone an extra charge without taking up too much space.
I know I will always be able to capture the moment with this battery handy.
How pretty this looks on my coffee table is ridiculous and it has the most amazing smell.
I have burned mine many times and it looks like its barely been on.
Those rare moments when I get a minute on the couch, this is a friendly reminder that yes, I am home.
Hope you SpoiledOnes love these as much as we do.
I can't wait to be home!
Oprah #LifeYouWantWeekend #Tour was nothing short of life changing [Part 1]
Wednesday, October 22, 2014
This post will start off a 4-part recap of the Life You Want Tour.
I will go over what I took away from each speaker.
I hope that I do a good enough job that you too be able to understand how to have the Life You Want.
To begin with, being in the presence of Oprah for two days in a row was a feat on its OWN. (see what I did there?) But, secondly the way she and her guest speakers spoke life into your soul was honestly a privilege to enjoy.
Oprah opened with a segmented on how our lives are connected by dots.
She explained how our "dots" connect to make our life what it is today. One of her "dots" was when she was about still very little. Her grandmother, who was caring for her, was outside boiling clothes and hanging them. Oprah was standing on the doorway about to churn butter when her grandmother shouted back at her, "You better watch me real good because one day you will have to do the same." At that moment, Oprah thought in her head, "No I am not."She said it was even then that she understood she was going to do something greater. As she got older, she said she would get complimented on how well she spoke publicly or how well she read. All the way until she was 16 years old, getting a spot at a local radio station which eventually lead her way into a news anchor. All of those moments would make up her dots that connected to her where she is today.
Co-creating our lives
This section focused on how our lives are designed by the decisions we make and the way choose to think about those decisions. The way we speak to and about ourselves WILL shape our overall outlook.The whole focus of this part was that "everything you've been through will help you get through." Her whole life had prepared her to use her gifts to share her voice. She goes on to say that God (whomever you choose to say is God) puts certain gifts and situations in front of us to help guide our understandings. But the way we speak to ourselves will also help manifest those thoughts and ideas into life.
Her example here was when she was reading the Color Purple. She loved the book so much she bought copies and handed them out to everyone she knew. She so badly wanted to be in the movie but had lost hope on getting the part. But her attempts to speak it into existences say it manifest.
Her next lesson: Wanting for others
This lesson actually asked the audience to thing about someone they truly love and the clearly envision a life for them. What kind of car would they drive? What kind of house would they have? How many kids? Job? Friends? Where would they be?
In understanding, it was what you would be willing to give that person if we could. What dreams of theirs would you want to see fulfilled and would be able to be truly happy to see them achieve. This is to help us understand the power of giving and also how to want for others. This lesson is powerful, it really tests your willing to give. But also shows how easy it is to want to see someone you love happy.
To piggy back off of her earlier example, she said she finally had to come to terms with the possibility that the other actor was going to get the part and to allow herself to be happy for her and blessings before she was able to find out that she indeed had gotten the part.

SpoiledOnes,
I have been traveling a lot lately, just within in the past month I have been in New York and Los Angeles. And, while I love it while I am there, I can't say that packing is my favorite thing to do (especially since I am usually doing it last minute!) However, this is a list of my must haves while traveling that ensure I am always comfortable while on the road.
While I travel, I love being ready for anything so I can make the most out of my trip! So, my essentials center around comfort and protection allowing me to refresh on-the-go.
