Skin Care, Foodie, & Parktime

December 23, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Sissy came over this morning and we all ordered IHOP takeout for breakfast. Afterward we played with Emmy for a while before Sissy, June and I headed to the new skin care store.

Tony Moly Haul

We thought they were connected since they technically are but you pay separately. Me and June’s haul. The Panda’s Dream from Tony Moly is one of my favourites! It really does make me feel a little more awake.

It's Skin Haul

I bought the two blue products from It’s Skin. The rest are June’s. Pore tightening serum and moisturizing mist. I just used both of these tonight and so far I’m feeling refreshed.

Beard Papa's | Katy, Texas

We stopped by Beard Papa’s, a place we’ve been dying to try. They are adorable but also costly. Each one costs almost $4!

Beard Papa's | Katy, Texas | Christmas Theme

They kept some festivity going with the sprinkles so they get some points there. As for taste, they’re not my favourite. We all agreed it’s not something we would ever crave and to be truthful I felt they tasted pretty much the same. We got vanilla creme in all of them but each shell is a different flavour.

Yan Tea | Katy, Texas

Mum wanted us to take some boba back home to her so I got a Hazelnut Milk Tea from Yan Tea for myself. Verdict? Too sweet and way too much ice. More than half of my drink was ice! I was very disappointed since it’s not cheap at all! Definitely not coming back here especially because they were so disorganized.

2018 | 357/365 | Photoshoot at the Park

[2018] 357/365: Photoshoot at the Park

A quick picture I snapped while the whole family went to the park. It was such a nice afternoon so it was perfect.

Photoshoot in the Park | Side Hustle

Brudda was going all out on his photography skills so I helped by holding a giant flash all around the park. Feeling a little important but mostly ridiculous.

Sleeping Rizzo Cuddles

Rizzo was so happy I was finally home and has not left squished next to me wherever I am. Sleepy baby.

Hallacas

2018 | 356/365 | Hallacas

[2018] 356/365: Hallacas

I finally had time to make my Hallacas! They are SO pretty compared to tamales. When it comes to comparing the taste though, I’m not able to. They are so different in texture and flavour. I was taken aback by the olives but other than that I thought it was delicious! I have my fingers crossed that Salim follows through and save me a few he’s making with his family. If I have those I can make a better judgement.

Designated Gift Wrapper

I’m pretty much the designated gift wrapper in my family. I remember wrapping my own gifts when I was younger so I was never surprised when I opened it. It’s better now. They just throw me everyone else’s gifts instead.

2018 | Christmas Gift from Liliana

Liliana sent me a Christmas present! And I love it!! Thank you so much! Emmy helped me unwrap my presents and she couldn’t stop playing with the cup.

Pedis and Tamales

Wine and Pedis with Mallory

Work was a little whrilwind. Not many people were getting work done since many were on vacation and sat talking, mostly.

After work I met Mallory to get pedis. She then went to pick up JJ and I met her at her house.

2018 | 355/365 | Homemade Tamales and Salsa

[2018] 355/365: Homemade Tamales and Salsa

John came home with two dozen chicken tamales and a dozen dessert tamales as well as salsa made by someone at his work. I was drooling because I’ve been wanting tamales!

They were super delicious with the home made salsa! The dessert tamales were not a bit and I didn’t feel well eating that. More chicken tamales please!

I am really hoping I will learn how to make tamales but lately people have been telling me Hallacas are way better, a Venezuelan tamale. I have one in my fridge not yet eaten but if that’s better then I’ll be aiming to make that instead. Haha

Indianola | Houston, Texas

Downtown Views and Lunch

Today at work, I spilled the beans. I spilled them once everything is finalized though! I went out to lunch with Salim, Fahad, Vicky, and Vicky’s friend. We we’re going to go to Flynn Hall but it was packed so to the Conservatory it was. It was a windy walk but it was nice to get away.

2018 | 354/365 | INDIANOLA

[2018] 354/365: Indianola

After work Sissy, BIL, and I went to Indianola to celebrate some exciting stuff. Apparently they recently opened and are owned by the same people as Coltavarie. I will say that this place is way better than Coltavarie. Everything was so dang delicious. My favourite was definitely their lamb. I would go back just for that!

One more day of work until it’s Christmas break!! Or in my world, a long weekend. Haha

Familiar Places and Faces

2018 | 353/365 | Lunch and Good News

[2018] 353/365: Lunch at a Familiar Place

I have exciting news that cannot be shared yet! But I will once everything is finalized. I also had lunch in a familiar place. 

Other than that work has been very tedious but I’m getting so much done lately since Prisila has been taking care of the kids more, giving me more time to focus on my deadlines.

Couple of days left before it’s Christmas break! Eek! Can’t wait to see Emmy!
