On the blog today, I’m showing you how to make HORCHATA!!!! If you said it like I know you should we can be friends forever. I know some of you may just be abreast of horchata because of @iamcardib. We need some people to show us the light. Head over to the blog to see how to make it at home by yourself with an authentic recipe from Guadalajara.
I love when people I follow do those #introductionfriday posts, do you? It’s an opportunity to introduce yourself to new followers who may not be abreast of all that you are and do. Here’s a new one for me... Hello, I’m Andrea Fenise, a serial creative entrepreneur. I launched my creative agency, AFLD Creative, last summer. I intentionally emphasized serial creative #entrepreneur because I’ve owned a few businesses. Just call me Jane 💁🏽‍♀️ Over on my blog today, I’m sharing my new business, why I got started and who I hope to serve. Plus there’s a special gift for those who have followed me along the journey since @ilovestylejunkie, styling and sewing, and Brunch and Sew ... see what I’m talking about 😝 📸 @kpfusion
Last week, I had the opportunity to work on a styled shoot with @kpfusion and @ilovememphisblog for a #memphisfashionweek editorial. I was very hesitant to attend due to #thebump . I felt as if no one really wanted to see a bump with a more fashion focused story. I mean, its not like you see many pregnant women in styled editorial stories, think about it. I did it anyway with encouragement from Kim. After the story was released, I was sent the most encouraging words from one of my Instagram friends @nappyrutz that inspired this post, Why Working While Pregnant Is Important to me Head over to the blog to read more. It’s encouraging for other moms and women who aspire to be pregnant one day.
Last week, I had the pleasure of working a half a day and driving down to @visitoxfordms for the opening of Saint Leo Lounge. The opening party celebrated the new concept bar’s artisanal cocktails by mixology master Joe Stinchcomb, a menu of elevated bar bites, and the soon to come event space with disco balls and an illuminated dance floor. Head over to the blog to read more about the sister cocktail bar of the infamous Saint Leo restaurant, become entranced by the food pics (food was amazing) and learn more to inspire you to drive down to Oxford— it’s worth it. #linkinbio
Good Morning You Guys!!!! It’s officially that time of year.... SPRING IN MEMPHIS ☀️, 💐, and 🤧 —- warmer weather, the promise of blooms and pollen. Spring is when I take daily doses of allergy medicine, wear my hair curly more ( yes for air drying in the sun) and wear my glasses because the pollen makes me want to scratch my eyes out. But in life we take the bitter with the sweet, right. #choose901 #ilovememphis
Want to know the biggest lesson I’ve learned on my journey of becoming fluent in Spanish? You have to actually speak!!!! I mean I can’t “SAY” that I speak Spanish when sometimes I fumble with conjugating verbs properly. So, I’ve just had a come to Jesus Cristo moment and said practice, practice, practice as much as you can. Thank God I have an in house tutor that doesn’t want me to sound like a “gringo” and a hard one at that. In my #40before40 series, I’m sharing a new vlog in Speaking Spanish fluently. My husband and I go to our favorite Mexican restaurant and I only speak Spanish. WATCH THE VIDEO— #linkinbio
I remember reading the Beauty at Every Age column of Harper’s Bazaar in my early 20s. Skin and beauty regimens were suggested based on your decade. The 20s were pretty easy. Take care of your skin, wash your face before going to bed, and apply sunscreen. The list started becoming much longer as you entered the following decades. Now that I am in my late 30s, I have my face wash, sunscreen, exfoliator, moisturizer, and now facial serum. I’ve realized the facial serum has become just as important as the other ingredients in my regimen. A facial serum is a dynamic source of nourishment and nutrition for your skin. On the blog this morning, I’m sharing an all natural DIY Rosehip Oil and Rosewater Facial Serum
I’m so happy to see April come for so many reasons. I made this mood board for my agency @afldcreative as a reminder to see the beauty in the details of my client work this month but it still applies personally too. Quarter 2 is here and that means time to do the work to see everything blossom. What motivates you about this quarter? What are hoping to get accomplished?
Kimonos are easily one of the most comfortable choices for maternity clothes. That’s why on the blog today, I’m sharing with you one way I styled my my kimono gifted by @shoppinkblush and a couple easy kimono maternity styling options. 📸 @kpfusion
The balance of work and play is what I love about being a freelance content creator. A work assignment sent me down I-55 from Memphis to Oxford yesterday. As we arrived into the @graduateoxford I was captivated by the beauty of Southern Charm and hospitality. At every corner, there was immense attention to detail carried out through every single decor element. I’ll share my stay and pics soon on the blog. Until then, make your way down to Oxford and enjoy a town with the most charm.
@eat_saint_leo is Emily Blount’s astounding second concept in Oxford. The new cocktail bar offers cocktails by mixology master Joe Stinchcomb, upscale bar cart bottle service and elevated takes on bar food. The Lounge doubles as a large event space, featuring fun elements like an illuminated dance floor with over 15 disco balls. I had the pleasure of driving down for the opening. It’s so chic. The food is amazing and the cocktails are superb. They even made me custom mocktails, how sweet.
I hosted an influencer night out for self care @sundara_wellness a few weeks ago. It was such a beautiful and comforting experience. On the blog this morning, I am sharing our night, what we learned, and how this wellness center’s vision is allowing so many people to flourish from the inside out.
