Christmas Lights

The best memories from my childhood are when we went to see my Aunt Katie and Uncle Billie and my cousins for Christmas.  The older I get the more I cherish these memories.  We would pack up the car and be so excited to get there.  My sister and I would ask many times, "When are we going to get there? How much longer?"

The weather in South Texas was usually mild and we could play outside with all our cousins.  Our parents made us go outside to play but we didn't argue because we liked being outside.  Video games didn't exist.  Television was for watching after dark.  While there was sunshine we played outside. 

We had several aunts and uncles who lived nearby and all of them would stop by and visit before or after Christmas.  None of us had a lot of money so we didn't all exchange gifts except with immediate family.  But we did exchange a lot of love and good times together. Some years when money wasn't tight we would give a small gift to everyone.  But the real enjoyment was being all together. 

Christmas Eve was when all the excitement happened.  All the Moms would take all the children off to look at Christmas lights.  This almost always involved a trip to downtown Corpus Christi on beautiful Ocean Drive.  While the children were occupied the Dads would play Santa and put together bikes and other large toys.  They would place them around the tree and when we arrived back from looking at lights....SANTA had come to see us.  The Dads would say we just missed him.  

So when my husband asked what I wanted for my birthday (my birthday falls in December) I asked to be driven around to look at the Christmas Lights.  It was fun!

My Irresistible Me Hair Extensions

Hi Everyone!

I bought some Irresistible Me Hair Extensions during the summer but never wore them because it was too hot.  I low lighted them as soon as I received them following two videos on YouTube. I bought them through Nisha's 10% off discount code on her channel called SugarPuffandFluff.  She also shows how to low light them.  I also watched the channel Hairgirl247.  

I took them out a few days ago and cut them just a little longer than my own bob.  I mainly wanted them to give me volume rather than length.  Here are some pictures after I finished cutting them.

Here you can see how the back of my hair looks.

I am always trying to change up my hair.  These extensions give me an alternative to my shorter, thinner normal hair.

FASHION OVER 50

I just uploaded a video on my YouTube Channel about my Weekly Fab Five Favorites. My YouTube Channel is TexasCajun.

Products Mentioned in the video are:

• Burt’s Bees Cool Collection, Kissable Color
• Suzanne Somers 3 Way Poncho  (in picture above)
• Target Black Boots (in picture above)
• No Nonsense Denim Leggings (in picture above)
• Dooney & Bourke Leather Shelby Shopper

In my weekly video I try to highlight one organic item.  This week I didn't have an organic item but I did have a 100% natural item.  It was Burt's Bees Cool Collection Lip Shimmer.  I like to have chapstick like lippies handy all over the house and in the car and at work.  This is a set of three I bought at Walmart.

I also bought the Suzanne Somers 3 Way Poncho in black.  It is a very comfortable top that looks great with leggings or skinny jeans.  I like how the back flows away from the body.  

I went to Target on Black Friday for the black boots shown above and below.  I actually wanted the ones with fur but they were sold out of my size. 

At Walmart a few weeks ago I purchased Denim Leggings by No Nonsense.  They feel like pajamas.  They are so comfortable.  I highly recommend these because they are knit not woven.

Lastly I purchased the Dooney & Bourke handbag from QVC.  It was a Today's Special Value a couple of weeks ago.  But it is still available.

Below is a small excerpt from my YouTube video.

Thanks for reading!!  

I hope you have fun along your fashion journey!!

Don’t Let Your Job Define Who You Are

Two of my friends on YouTube have led me to post this blog.  Their posts led to introspection which I thought I would share. 

In 1999, my job became obsolete and I really didn't know what I would do next in life.  I didn't
know who I was without my job.  I was in a shaky marriage and I never had children.  It was a scary time for me.  My job had been training and the company decided to go more with computer based training. 

I then became a teacher and loved it.   But I have changed careers often.  One thing that is a common denominator in all my jobs/careers is my desire to help others learn skills that will in turn help them achieve their goals.

When I moved here to Louisiana I became a Realtor but quickly changed over to help my husband with his company.  I could “retire” now, but I really like to work.  I like having some place to go and people to talk to.  

I was so wrapped up in that first job for 18 years that it became WHO I was.  I vowed to never let that happen again.  When God closes one door he opens another. 

If something similar has happened to you and you want to talk about it, please comment below and I will get back with you.

ON THIS ROAD OF LIFE
we will face many challenges.  It is how we deal with them that will build our Character!

THANK YOU

Fashion Over 50, Skinny Jeans, Leopard Cardigan over a Long Lace Tank Top

HI EVERYONE!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

In this picture I am wearing Jordache Skinny Jeans from Walmart and the Leopard Cardigan is also from Walmart.

The long lace tank top came from Cracker Barrel Restaurant (but I have seen them everywhere).  My boots are from Born about three years ago.  They are SO comfortable.  I try to wear them as much as possible.  They were the inspiration for this outfit.

I have to change up my hairstyles or I go crazy so I used my waving iron from Vidal Sassoon.
