I learned so much about the blogging world and how long filming takes—even just for a 30 sec clip. Most of all, it taught me patience and that things don’t always go as planned. We can create a timeline of our goals, and we have to accept some goals take longer to reach.

My goal is to organize this blog space and add more healthy recipes, instagram worthy food spots and fun events for you to visit in South Florida.

What are some of your goals for 2019?

Future blog posts of Artechouse and The Art Banksy Exhibit coming soon!

Thermic double wall glass travel mug $20.00 (Things Remembered)

Goodfellow & Co watch $24.99

This Goodfellow & Co watch hits our budget of $25! The stainless steel band gives it an expensive feel. Don’t include the extra bands––they just look tacky. You will def wow your bae since it looks like a luxurious Movado.

The post Snowfest 2018 appeared first on SalmasPalette.

I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving already.  This year literally flew in the blink of an eye.  Here are a few things I’m thankful for:

1. My health because without this you literally wouldn’t have anything
2. My big crazy family whom I miss (most of them are in New York)
3. Coffee (I’m serious like how else would I function some days)
4. My girls! Always great to vent to and give great advice.  Most of them live far away but distance doesn’t change our cray relationship
5. My husband.  He’s always pushing me to do my best and he accepts my different personalities.  LMAO

What are you most thankful for?

The post Happy Thanksgiving! appeared first on SalmasPalette.

1. Turkey (duh!)
2. Mashed potatoes (box or actual potatoes) or sweet potatoes
3. Corn on the cob or canned corn
4. Kerry gold butter (Yes, Kerry Gold no other company.  You will thank me later)
5. Gravy and broth (vegetable or meat)
6. Cranberry sauce
7. Turkey prep ingredients and materials (twine, celery, stuffing, onions, thermometer and etc)
8. Garlic or butter rolls (combo of garlic & butter is next level yum)
9. Mac & Cheese
10. Pumpkin, apple or pecan pie (My favorite store pie is Patti LaBelle’s sweet potato pie)
11. Coffee (Does life even start without it?) or soda, sparkling water/cider and etc.
12. Disposable plates, napkins, cutlery, and a carving knife is a must
13. Green beans
14. Herbs like sage, rosemary, basil, parsley, cilantro, chives and etc
15. Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to serve over desserts
16. Ingredients to make your favorite salad
17. Nuts such as pecans, walnuts or almonds to dress up any dish
18. Milk, heavy cream, sour cream or non-diary cream (I like Nutpods—original flavor)
19. Ice (Especially if you live in a warmer climate like Miami)
20. Games! Not a food item but always a fun time playing with family & friends (ahem, catan)

Share this list to help a Thanksgiving shopper out 💁🏽‍♀️

The post Thanksgiving shopping list appeared first on SalmasPalette.

Or do you browse clothing sites to look at cute outfits because it makes you feel happy? Girl, make a wish list and work towards buying.  Below are a list of goodies that I’ll actually purchase or dream about.

Vitamix Blender Professional series 750

First on my list! My friends know how much I love to entertain and have them try my delicious recipes, so this will become a staple item in my kitchen.  The warranty and the quality of this blender is amazing.  Most of Vitamix’s blenders come with a 5-7 year warranty.  The hard part will be deciding on which one to buy, but I have my eye on the Vitamix Professional series 750. Price: $599.95

Rebecca Minkoff quilt small leather bag

I’m in love with salmon pink and this color can go with any season.  This pink and silver can compliment your fall and winter warm and dark colors.  Once spring and summer comes around this bag will pop out all the fun floral prints and pastel colors of your outfits as well.  Price: $195-$102 (price varies on color)

Drunk Elephant virgin marula oil

I got a sample of this oil when I purchased the Protini™  Polypeptide cream, and I really loved how my skin was glowing.  It’s an oil that is high in antioxidants, great for all skin types and it is vegan and gluten free.  You can read more about the benefits on Sephora’s website here. Price $40-$72 (Price varies on bottle size)

Dior backstage glow face palette

When I tested out this highlighter, I was really impressed.  I usually roll my eyes when a company says that it’s a universal shade because most of the time it’s not.  Women of color aren’t able to use the product a  These shades are pigmented so a tiny product goes a long way and you can build on the color as well.  You can check out the swatch on different skin tones here. Price: $45

Dyson Airwrap

You have been seeing it all over if you follow beauty gurus or YouTubers.  My hair is super curly and I always have to first blow out my hair before curling so this product would definitely save me time.  There are a bunch of mixed reviews on this product so I’m super hesitant to purchase this item in particular.  I do have a super quick way to create curls and I’ll be showing you guys soon on the blog so stay tuned.  Price: $549.99

What are some products on your wish list? Share them below 🙂
