GIVEAWAY!!!

We are mega stoked to team up with Prospect Goods for this Memorial Day weekend Giveaway! We adore her modern twist of the Piñata and know you will too.

We asked Abby how she came about her awesome little business venture///
I made a mini A pinata for my husband's birthday in March. It was so fun and cute! Around that time, a friend told me that when asked by people, "What do you do?" instead of saying what job he has, he says what he likes to do. It totally changed my perspective on things. I started to answer that question by jokingly saying, "I make fancy pinatas!" I loved the reaction I got from people, and more importantly, how much I liked saying what I enjoyed doing instead of my boring job title. So just a few months later, I really do make fancy pinatas, and I love it! 

///WE LOVE IT TOO

OMG I HEART/// Farmhouse Delivery

Being a vegetarian, I'm a huge fan of vegetables. It's pretty much all I've got. ha. A while back Cheryl introduced me to Farmhouse Delivery over lunches at the Stash Factory. Farmhouse is a 'Farm to table' concept that pulls from local growers around Austin and Houston. After Cheryl introduced me to some of the weekly bushels and other products (ie eggs. cheese, Kosmic Kombucha!), I was in. I'm now on my second bushel from Farmhouse and I couldn't be more pleased. Other than making weekly deliveries, they send out emails letting you know what's coming in the delivery, where it's from, cooking tips, and markers to let you know which is organic and/or sustainable. Below is what hit my mailbox the morning of the delivery.

...like I said, I've been a vegetarian for a long time and it's easy to think that because you aren't eating meats, you are avoiding a lot of the issues in 'factory farming', but after a long discussion with Cheryl last night over sustainable farming and what you can feed crops and pass as legal, I am ready to never stray away from organic/sustainable produce. ever. It's a scary world out there when you do your research. 

Whether you just like quality, or you care about what's feeding the things that are feeding you, or supporting local business, OR you just hate going to the grocery store, you should look into what 'farm to table' co-ops your city offers.

PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE /// Big Hair Big Fun

 

Today I brought my pink hair dryer over to the salon because I felt like we needed to feature some of our favorite products. Who doesn't want big hair big fun? If you don't you're probably not from Texas.

I will start by describing my hair:
Silky- you may think this is awesome but I hate it and I put product in it so it's not so slippery.
Fine- but I have a lot of it.
Limp- because all my layers have grown out.

This is how I fix these problems when I want Big Hair Big Fun:
- I wash with Angel Wash Shampoo- It doesn't weigh my hair down.
- After towel drying I spray Anti Gravity or I use the lotion, then I rub body builder all through my roots.
- Most the time my hair air dries but you get better results if you blowdry your hair upside down.
- Once my hair is dry, I wave my hair with the curl stick, dab Powder Puff at the roots and shake it like a polaroid picture!
- And because I love the smell and the texture it gives, I finish off with spraying Hair Resort. It's like the beach in a bottle!

 We are back from our Austin Road trip, it was a quick one but a good one!

Once we got to her house it was back to work! We had our first official Bueno meeting with our newest member.

Oh yeah.... Some of you don't know!
Incase you missed our Instagram Update yesterday @lisenbesquared /// @iheartbueno
Here she is...
 
It's our baby sis!!! She is back from school and ready to join the team!  Her Instagram is @theotherbueno. Amy (Mimi)  is going to be helping us get @thebuenoshop up and running again this summer and we are so pumped!

Other Breaking News ///  Carlos cut out my Costa Rican Dread that was in the back of my head. No one could comb it out on vacation or when I got back to the salon. Surfing wrecked the back of my hair but I don't care, it was worth it. Now I will just have to make a little surfer hair doll out of my dread and display it with the rest of our travel tokens. RIP Dreadhead.

WEEKEND ROAD TRIP/// ATX

We hit the road early yesterday morning to make it to Austin by 1pm for our dear friends, Erica and Patrick's Shower. Fail. We got lost, misplaced the gift in the car, and went to an address on the wrong side of town. ah! We finally made it sometime after one and before two... always something. So far it's been one continuous party, with the exception of a giant sugar crash nap. Sooooo many cakes, pies, cup cakes, oh my....

Today we plan on stopping by Helm, and then soaking up the sun at Barton Springs. Follow up on Instagram to see weekend shenanigans

YOUNG LOVE MAD STYLE /// CARA AND IAN

Ian + Cara

Houston, TX Eastwood neighborhood

// CURRENTLY

He's Coffee Manager at Whole Foods and all around badass and She's an Administrative Assistant and Smilebooth Extraordinaire

//THEIR STORY 

We met in Los Angeles about 2 ½ years ago (I was living there at the time) and Ian was visiting a mutual friend of ours for the weekend. I was invited to go out on the town and we hit it off instantly. He ended up staying for a week! Shortly after that, he quit his job in good ol’ Lincoln, NE and moved to LA. Fast forward to today and we have an awesome “mini-us”, Ainsley, and are living happily in Texas.

Sunday is our family day, so we always go to a coffee shop (our faves are Blacksmith and Catalina) in the morning and walk through Hermann Park with Ainsley and our dog, Penny. We also enjoy going to the museums in Houston and having dinner nights at our house.

//FAVORITE THING ABOUT EACH OTHER

Him: She's my calm positive side, always a glass half full outlook.  I know that I can always count on her perspective, sometimes harsh, but always truthful.  She's also by far one of the most amazing mothers I've ever met. I am so lucky to have her in my life.

Her: He keeps me sane and is the most genuine guy I know. I love watching him with Ainsley -- he's such a wonderful dad.  Also, he is an AMAZING cook and can make sushi like nobody's business. I definitely got a keeper!

//FAVORITE PLACE TO SHOP

Him: GAP, Reserve Supply, eBay

Her: H&M, ModCloth, Forever 21

//JAMMIN

Him: Furry Lewis, John Lee Hooker

Her: Two Door Cinema Club, The Damnwells, Tegan and Sara

// FUN FACT
Cara didn't realize she was preggo until 5 months when she went to the doctor convinced she had a tumor. No mama, you be Preggo!
