This was my birthday week! My birthday on Wednesday (blue dress from Target- $8)

Thrifty thursday: Birthday Dress
Good Eats: Taste of Texas
Birthday dinner with my family (2 members missing)
I’m rocking my clutch from Spoiled Diva!
I ordered a 16 oz steak:
YUM! I got a little too full off the bread to fully enjoy it, so I took it home!
At the end of the meal, our waitress brought out the desert cart. They gave me a complimentary desert with sparkler candles (it’s crazy that I’d been wanting sparklers this whole time!). They also took a picture of me and brought it to us inside a birthday card as we were leaving.
So many to choose from!!
I liked the ambiance of the restaurant was nice and the birthday perks were excellent. However, when we walked into the restaurant, they predicted an hour-long wait! Thankfully, it wasn’t nearly that long. It’s clearly a popular place, but it was calm and cozy on the inside. We were a tad overdressed. Most people wore nice jeans and shirts.
It’s a Texas-style restaurant, with Texas-style potions, and a Texas-style price tag. The food was on the expensive side. On the plu-side, the unlimited salad bar was great and had a lot to choose from.
Bottom line: I will probably not have the luxury of visiting this restaurant again, unless there is a very very very special occasion. This place definitely qualifies as “Good Eats” material, as long as you can foot the bill.

Birthday Week: NHH’s Natural You Mixer
Today was Day One of my birthday week. I was invited to this event by my friend Lorraine owner of TatusWelle, West African-inspired apparel and accessories. She was a vendor at the event. She makes the cutest earrings.
I enjoyed the event and experience a serious bout of hair envy. Overall, it was great!
I treated myself to some birthday earrings. I love them! They’re chic and modern.
There were a lot of designs to choose from. If you’re lucky, you may catch her at another event in Houston!
