How to Improve Your Mindset + Opt For Optimism Challenge with Frost

How to Improve Your Mindset + Opt For Optimism Challenge with Frost featured by popular Houston lifestyle blogger Breakfast at Lilly's

Over the past year, I have been on a journey to be my best self on all fronts. This includes bettering my physical, financial, and even emotional health. All of these things are connected in some way so it is important to take care of yourself.

How to Improve Your Mindset:

  1. Practice daily gratitude // One thing that I have found most people do not do enough of is practicing gratitude. We seem to only seem to be grateful when everything is going right instead of embracing the little things when it seems like almost everything in life is going wrong. What I like to do is take 5-10 minutes each day to express gratitude for all of the good things that occurred that day.
  2. Go for a walk or get a workout in // I don’t know about you but getting a little bit of activity in each day is so crucial to my mindset. I feel an increase of productivity, energy, and more after taking a little time out of my day to exercise.How to Improve Your Mindset + Opt For Optimism Challenge with Frost featured by popular Houston lifestyle blogger Breakfast at Lilly's
  3. Join the Opt for Optimism Challenge // If you really want to learn how to improve your mindset, then you’ll want to join me for the upcoming 30 day challenge starting on August 6th.I have always enjoyed participating in things that I know will be for the betterment of my health, wealth, knowledge, or the like so that’s why I am inviting you to join me starting August 6th for the 30 day Opt for Optimism Challenge with Frost Bank. 

How to Improve Your Mindset + Opt For Optimism Challenge with Frost featured by popular Houston lifestyle blogger Breakfast at Lilly's

I am excited to implement the daily tasks that the challenge has to offer. This year has been a rough one for me so I am always on the lookout for ways to improve my quality of life and be more optimistic.

Some goals that I want achieve over the next 30 days are getting more organized, going to the gym at least 3x a week, and taking time to be grateful at the end of every day.

Make sure you learn how to improve your mindset and sign up for the challenge and work towards more optimism in all aspects of your life.

Your Turn:

What are some things that you currently do to lead a more positive life? Are you considering signing up for the Opt for Optimism challenge? What are your thoughts on how to improve your mindset? Let me know down in the comments.

July Coffee Chat

July 30, 2018

Hey friends, happy Monday! I’m coming at you with a coffee chat today. It’s been a crazy summer around here and it’s about to potentially get even crazier but I am so ready for it. I definitely don’t want to be vague but at the same time, I don’t want to reveal anything yet either because I don’t want to jinx anything so an update on the thing I am being so vague about will be coming your way as soon as humanly possible.

Reading: I’m currently reading two Books. The first one is Profit First and the second one is called Beware the Past. Profit First is a business read while Beware the Past is more of a mystery thriller.

Listening to: All of my podcasts including the Strategy Hour, Profit Planner, Sword & Scale, and a few new ones including The ActiveCampaign Podcast, Pep Talks for Side Hustlers, and more.

Watching: The Bachelorette, the Bold Type, Younger, So You Think You Can Dance, and America’s Got Talent have been the shows I’ve been gravitating towards recently. I am also happy that Orange is the New Black is back.

3 Ways I Prep my Home for Guests During the Summer

July 25, 2018

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Chesapeake Bay Candle. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting brands who support Breakfast at Lilly’s.

Learn the 3 ways I prep my home for guests on the blog.

 

In my opinion, summer is the perfect time for having friends over. From backyard BBQs to time spent by the pool, the options are endless. One of my favorite ways to entertain company is by having a game night complete with appetizers. Having company over requires a little work up front though. To prepare for company, I always do a few key things to make sure my place is in tip top shape.

 

  1. Clean //

The first thing I do when inviting guests over is clean up the apartment. I definitely don’t want my friends coming over when my house is a mess so I pick up things, mop and vacuum the floors, wipe down the countertops, and more to prepare for guests.

  1. Stock the fridge/bar //
    If your friends are anything like mine, they enjoy a good drink or two so we always make sure to stock our fridge with yummy beverages and eats in addition to stocking up our bar cart with cute bar accessories + of course, a variety of liquors.

  2. Light some candles //
    I don’t know about you but I’m a huge candle person all year round. A lot of people only enjoy candles during the colder months but I have a candle lit pretty much every day of the year. Whenever we have guests, I go from lighting just one candle to having one lit in every room of the apartment from the bathroom to the living room and kitchen.


    My favorite candles lately have been from Chesapeake Bay Candle’s Heritage Collection. The packaging is very clean and modern looking and the candles all smell absolutely amazing.

The 4 candles I’ve been loving lately are as follows – the White Gardenia Large Jar Candle, the Bay Cottage Coffee Table Jar Candle, the Bay Cottage Large Jar Candle, and the Sea Salt Coconut Double Wick Tin Candle.

Each candle has a great scent and I am torn between the Bay Cottage and Sea Salt Coconut as my favorites. I love how Chesapeake Bay Candle offers a variety of sizes and they are reasonably priced for the amount of candle that you get.

Your Turn:

How do you prepare for a summer get together? Have you tried Chesapeake Bay Candle before? Feel free to let me know down in the comments.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home Picks

July 23, 2018

Hey guys! I imagine my inconsistent posting is getting pretty old for you because it’s certainly getting old for me. I’m so sorry about that but I’m hoping to be back in action 100% over the next few months. There are some exciting things in the works keeping me from a consistent schedule but I promise it’s worth it.

I bet you’re probably pretty tired of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but I wanted to share my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale home picks with you guys + an awesome giveaway so scroll down to the bottom if you’re wanting to enter the giveaway.

 

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home Picks featured by popular Houston lifestyle blogger Breakfast at Lilly's

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home Picks:

Cutting Board // This personalized marble cutting board is perfection and you totally need it in your life.

Wine Rack // This gold wine rack is calling my name. I like that it only holds a few bottles of wine because that’s all you need.

Gold Champagne Flutes // These are super cute and I’m pretty much obsessed. They would look super cute on a bar cart.

Wooden Tray // This wooden tray is right up my alley. I love these trays because you can use them for their intended purpose or for decorating.

Decanter + glasses // This decanter + glass set is super chic. Another great bar cart addition.

Marble Coasters // These marble coasters are so cute! I think everyone needs a good set of coasters and these fit the bill.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Purchases 2018

July 19, 2018

I made quite a few Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases this year and I’m not ashamed. The majority of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale orders arrived yesterday so I’m able to share my honest opinions on each piece of clothing.

I'm sharing my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases today on the blog. - Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Purchases 2018 featured by popular Houston style blogger Breakfast at Lilly's

 

Shop These Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Looks:

Striped Sweater // High Waisted Ripped Jeans // Curve Hem Cardigan // Nubby Cardigan // Lace Trim Camisole // Basic Tee // YSL perfume set // Navy Leggings // Leopard Mules 

Striped Sweater – Not sure if I’ll be keeping these as I wasn’t a huge fan of how it looked on me. I have seen it on other bloggers and loved it though.

Ripped Jeans – LOVE these! The perfect pair of distressed denim because they’re not too distressed.

Curve Hem Cardigan – Got this in black and camel and I’m obsessed. Totally a good basic fall staple.

Nubby Cardigan – Another awesome cardigan! It’s so soft and cozy.

Lace Trim Cami – I am on the fence on this cami. Although it is cute, it does wrinkle easily due to the fabric so I’m unsure.

Basic Tee – I’m actually not keeping this in any of the 3 colors that I ordered because I didn’t like how it fit me, to be completely honest.

Perfume Set – Love this perfume. It smells so good.

Navy Leggings – I am just getting back into working out again so what better than a pair of new workout leggings to motivate me. I always love Zella leggings and these are just as amazing as all of my other pairs.

Leopard Mules – These were a little too big on me so I ordered a half size down so we’ll see if I end up keeping them in the 8.5

 

I'm sharing what's still in my cart from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale today on Breakfast at Lilly's. - Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Purchases 2018 featured by popular Houston style blogger Breakfast at Lilly's

Raw Hem Ripped Jeans // Faux Leather Leggings // Ripped Jeans // Black Boots // Brown Booties 

Ripped jeans – Both of these pairs of ripped jeans are so me and I’m so tempted to pull the trigger on both of them.

Faux Leather Leggings – I so need these in my life. I think they would be a nice dressier legging for the fall/winter time and I will probably end up buying these.

Black Boots – We’re headed to NYC this winter so I need a dressier pair of boots for the night time in addition to my riding boots. I really wanted these in the caramel color too but they already sold out.

Brown Booties – These just scream fall to me and I’ll most likely end up snagging them too. I don’t usually go this crazy at the Anniversary sale but fall is my favorite season so I’m wanting to stock up.
