Backyard Cookout Essentials

Good day beauties. Its Monday and we have a whole week ahead of us. Lets look at the positive and be blessed to see another day. I love the spring and summer months. Its just something about the heat, the bright sun, and the green grass. Texas can be sooo beautiful during this time. Over the weekend, I prep my blogpost for the week but as I sat outside, I became inspired to do this post. My family and in laws hold a lot of family cookouts so I thought I would share some of my favorite essentials.

Most of the time I am in flats. I love flats but I still like to have that extra detail or some time of elegance. Sandals are simple but can still be fashionable and elegant.

I can never keep up with my magazine subscriptions so whenever I can relax in the sun, they are not far away.

Along with my magazines is my Kindle Fire. I am currently reading Karrine Steffans "How To Make Love To A Martian" which is about a video girl's 5 year relationship with Lil Wayne....so cliché, I know.........

Sunglasses and a lip product is a must have for the sun. Along with that would be my favorite suntan lotion by Neutrogena's beach defense. I fell in love with this product in San Antonio.

A cold alcoholic beverage (minus too many calories) in my favorite pink cup.......enough said.

A healthy something to snack on to control the guilt is a must have. I got these wasabi crackers at basic foods.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I do like "spur of the moment" posts. We can't plan everything. Sometimes we have to go with how we feel. Have a good week and I will talk to you soon. What are some items you like to have handy at cookouts or when you are just relaxing in your backyard.

Weekend Ramblings 3

Hey beauties! This workweek was longer than normal for me. I had to work Saturday for our quarterly inventory and it sucks! I really wanted to make it to the Farmer's Market and get ready for my next week of juicing/detoxing. Anyway, me working Saturday resulted to posting this rambling a little late. Please forgive me and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

1. I really wish I could hang out with some of the other bloggers I have met in this beauty world. I have some amazing online friendships.

2. I am having mixed emotions about turning 32 next month. I am so happy and blessed in my life.....but WOW I am getting up there in age. At least I still get carded for alcohol sometimes. lol!

3. Working on getting some unique items for my boutique at www.delabellesboutique.com I sell new and used items.

4. Really want to get into renting out properties. That will be one of our upcoming ventures in the next 5 years. Yes beauties, I am into everything!

5. So excited my bestie came home to visit from Delaware where she is stationed at. I love her! I always get so close to other people in the military and we always have to separate. Its so depressing.

6. Proud of my hubby and all of his accomplishments at his job. Now it time to go shopping!!! (Just joking.....no not really)

7. Am I the only one that's not following the basketball games? I'm not a fan of basketball but I secretly want Miami to loose. I always go for the underdogs!

8. I will be putting jellybean in dance soon. I am soooo excited. I want her to be active in many activities but I don't want to end up like the mothers on Toddlers and Tiaras. They go a little too far in my book. I think it should still be fun and not soo serious at such a young tender age.

9. I have been on my twitter a lot lately. Make sure you are following me on there for EVERYDAY randoms. www.twitter.com/dela_beautyblog

10. I want a new front door but not sure on what color. I'm thinking white to brighten up the brown trimming.

My Top Summer Trends 2013 under $50 Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of my "Top Summer '13" trends. I realize the more I blog and follow other bloggers, my willingness to try new things is in the fast lane. I love playing "dress up" literally! I am a very versatile person. I eat all kinds of things and listen to all types of music. I love attending all kind of events and dressing all kinds of ways. I will enjoy a musical just as much as a football game. I just feel like we should never limit ourselves. When I was deployed to Iraq, I realize life is too short. Enough of my preaching, lets jump into Part 2 of my favorite trends of 2013 summer. If you missed part 1, click here. 

Top Summer Trends Pt 2 by delabelle featuring a cross-body



I absolutely love high waist shorts. I don't feel too comfortable wearing them, but they look amazing on everyone else. Black is one of my favorite colors to rock period. I recently got into wear black jewelry as if they were silver or gold. Fringe is also something new that I am dying to get into. I don't have ANYTHING fringe yet. Its on my "want list".

A-Line by delabelle featuring summer skirts

Anything that cinches my waist is my best friends. This summer I am all about big bold bright colors and patterns. I feel so girly and feminine rock A-line skirts and dresses. I even noticed a more sway in my hips making the material move.

Midi Rings by delabelle featuring knuckle rings

Dainty jewelry totally rocks! We tend to wear less clothing in the hot summer. Why not apply the same rule to your jewelry, especially on amazing glowing skin. Check out my post on some awesome bronze shimmery products for your skin that looks amazing in the sun.
