Color Factory is adding rainbows and sunshine to Houston. The 14-room exhibit that originated in San Francisco has brought a world of color to Texas in its third showroom. I had an opportunity to take a tour of the space before opening day and was able to get the inside scoop on some of the biggest highlights at Color Factory.

Did you make the world a better place in 2019? I ask myself this question at the end of every year as I review all of my resolutions and the progress I’ve made. Each year, one of my main goals is to practice generosity toward others in my daily life. My vision board is filled with photos that evoke health, financial stability, and business growth but on top of all of those things, kindness is my ultimate goal. I believe optimism trickles down into every other area of our lives, helping us to unlock ambition and achieve our goals. This year, I’m thrilled to “Frost It Forward” with Frost Bank to help spread kindness in my community and inspire others to do the same.
There’s a multitude of things to love about Houston. There’s a reason it’s the epicenter of Southern culture. From the museum district to the symphony, Houston is brimming with life and vibrancy. Of all the things I love about Houston, there’s always one thing that tops the list: the food scene. If you’re a foodie, Houston is THE city to be in. Outside of the expected barbecue, we have critically-acclaimed restaurants and world-class chefs who bring flavor into the loop. If your mouth is watering in agreeance, I bet you’d love the Truffle Masters happening Jan. 27 at the C. Baldwin Hotel.Â

Did you know that brushing your teeth only reaches 25% of your mouth? In fact, brushing can miss a billion germs. If using mouthwash isn’t part of your daily routine, it’s time to rethink your dental habits. While fresh-smelling breath is one of the perks, mouthwash is actually a crucial step in keeping your mouth clean and fighting bacteria. If you don’t use mouthwash regularly, now is the perfect time to get your swish on. LISTERINE® mouthwash, available at CVS, is launching a 21 Day Challenge (sponsored by the LISTERINE® brand) to help you form the habit.
“When women succeed in the workplace, the world becomes a better place.” This motto from CEO Sarah LaFleur rings powerful and true. As the founder of M.M. LaFleur, Sarah has built a company based on women’s empowerment by giving the gift of confidence through clothing. An inspired wardrobe can go a long way. I had a chance to do an M.M. LaFleur try-on session and tap into the mindset of the popular women’s store. Which leaves me with a question for you: are you dressing the way you want to feel?
