First Thanksgiving school lunch...

Finally!!! The day I've been waiting for arrived. I've been drooling for this day since my son started school. Yes... Thanksgiving lunch at school! I absolutely love the unhealthy cafeteria food that is fed in the US public schools. (Maybe not every item) But for the most part, I truly enjoy eating the junk food! 😂  I graduated 11 years ago from high school. & I haven't had these lunches since then. My favorite school lunch was definitely the Thanksgiving lunch. The tray with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, jellied cranberry, dinner roll & pumpkin pie. (I mean, I can't be the only one drooling right now?!?!)

Extra slice of pie that made it's way home. 

Growing up my mother worked hard to provide for us. I grew up in a lower class household, and while we always had dinner on the table. I was never sent to school with lunch. The schools I attended provided breakfast and lunch. Thankfully I didn't have any food allergies, and I became fond of the cafeteria food.
Now that my son started school. Which by the way, is the same Elementary school I attended. ( I love this school and staff!) We get to enjoy this day along with him. We made the arrangements possible to be there with him. (You know the usual, requesting for the  day off and I left class early.) I am excited to start making all these memories and start traditions in our little family.




Clearly the pumpkin pie was delicious. 


In honor of this holiday,
I am thankful that I was never left hungry growing up.
I am thankful that my son is getting an education.
I am thankful that I am continuing my education.
I am thankful to be able to make these memories.

What are you thankful for today?

Thank you so much for reading my thoughts and please share your experiences with school lunches from when you were in school. Or your kids favorite lunch! I'd love to hear (read)  all about them in the comments.
Xoxo,
Carla

Getting comfortable in my own skin...

This year I will be turning 30!!! Where and how that happened? I have no idea,,, What I do know, is that it has taken me a very long time to accept myself.  As a matter of fact, I'm currently still working on it.  Through the years I have struggled with learning to love myself.  Never completely content with my appearance.  Whether it was my teeth, face, features, body.  You name it!  In the past I have even contemplated getting surgery. What stopped me? The money of course! As well as the scary stories told by friends.  Which often times they hear from others.  Postpartum, I suffered from weight gain.  It took me years to loose the weight.  Even then, my body is not perfect.  Does that define me? Do my looks define me? Of course NOT! I know that; However that doesn't change the fact that I obsess over my weight, and constantly weigh myself. My point with all this rambling is, that it's never too late to learn to LOVE ...

Play! By Sephora September box...

This is a really late post/review for my Play! By Sephora box. I apologize but I have been swamped. School & life have been getting in the way. Adulting... amirite?(insert side eye) My first box arrived September 16. The second box arrived October 17. (I will be uploading the October box in a separate post) September box review: I was excited to open it, even though it's not an actual mystery box. (I also saw many posts spoiling the box contents) My favorite product is the perfume sample (of course, since I'm currently obsessed with perfume samples) check my searching for the perfect scent post here . The Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumnizing Fiber Gel is also something fun for me to try. Since my eyebrows are light & thin. This is definitely a product I could be interested on in the future. All in all, I was content with the box. Although I'm starting to think that I may only keep the subscription for 2 more months. I'm not entirely sure yet. We shal...

Florals for spring, groundbreaking!

Spring break means spring has arrived. (& that my son got a week off from school) <help!> T o celebrate and to get some much needed adult time, I went out for dinner with friends.  I also wanted to secretly take my new purse "out to town".  I mean, what better way to complete an outfit, than with a "spring-y" bag.   I paired this beautiful  top with jeans and nude ankle strap low block heels. (Also, I previously wore this top for my son's 5th birthday party ). The top can be worn off the shoulders or as a loser relaxed shoulder style. (As previously worn) It features bell sleeves and is a perfect transitional top. These shoes are slowly becoming one of my fave pair. I'm a big fan of the ankle strap heel look, and the fact that these have a low block heel make me very happy!  I also love that the heel features a cork look. Yellow is such a fun color for spring.  It will brighten up your look and day.  My top is a ...
