🍜Higher quality instant noodles with @sesanood 🍜Higher quality instant noodles with @sesanood #sesanood #sponsored 
I got invited to attend Sesanood’s launch the other week and y’all they were SO good! First of all they are vegan friendly, you can order online, they are a female owned company, AND they have a mouthwatering flavor only found in authentic traditional recipes from Taiwan, (inspired by their Grandma).
And P.S. It is Taiwanese husband approved! My husband had some for dinner from my swag bag and he absolutely loved them! #bestwifeaward
Sesanood is the higher quality instant noodles mixed with premium sesame for a nutritious blast of positive energy and essential vitamins. Enjoy thick, tender, sun dried noodles with a rich taste that never disappoints.

🤠This ain’t my first rodeo! 👵🏼The ear 🤠This ain’t my first rodeo! 
👵🏼The earliest memory I have of the rodeo is watching Selena in concert! So trust me when I say I’ve been going for years or should I say only a couple....
🗣Here are a couple of tips for surviving your FIRST rodeo! 
⏰GO EARLY! Doors open at 8am! Carnival opens at 4 but most of the food vendors were open throughout the day.
🚊PARKING I’ve been parking in the Yellow lot for $20 & there’s a tram that will drop you off at the entrance or it’s just a short walk away. You can also take the metro or rideshare.
🎟CONCERT TICKETS get you into the rodeo. If you're just visiting the carnival/fairgrounds you will need NRG Park Admission!
🐎ARRIVE AT THE CONCERT EARLY (6:45pm on the weekdays and 3:45pm on weekends) to watch the rodeo! You can't miss the Calf Scramble & Mutton Bustin'!
🍷BUY A BOTTLE OF WINE at the Champion Wine Garden (opens at 4)! It’s so much cheaper than buying individual drinks. 
🍕THE PIZZA AT THE WINE GARDEN is freaking amazing! The stall is called TCG Food Service and they are to the left of the entrance to the wine garden. It's something about the bread that’s just so good & after that bottle of wine, it’s 👌🏼
👢BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES. No matter how you get here, you will definitely be doing a lot of walking! 
👇🏼Comment below any tips you have!

🏙When working from home means working from coff 🏙When working from home means working from coffee shops with skyline views. #ad 
I don’t think I will ever go back to corporate as I love being able to work from anywhere as long as I have wifi or signal. Working in Social Media, a lot of my work can be done straight from my phone. I know I can trust @metrobytmobile to keep me connected wherever I choose to work from home. 
With the power of T-Mobile’s 5G network, you’ll have more 5G coverage. 
How do you #ruleyourday? Do you also work from home or do you have to go into the office?

Top things to do in Galveston besides the beach

In need of a beach vacation? I know Covid has changed all of our travel plans this year but if you are considering a trip to Galveston I have found you some of the most colorful and Instagrammable spots! I know the water isn’t the greatest but there are other things to do than just the beach. Read along for some of the top things to do in Galveston!

Things to do in the Galveston Seawall Area

Murdoch's Seawall Galveston

Stop at Murdoch's Pier to watch the sunset

Location: 2215 Seawall

Tips: This was my absolute favorite find that I will continue to return to! Murdoch’s pier has sets of porch chairs set up six feet apart. They even sell drinks which is all I was missing in my picture! Park along the seawall and walk over.

Pleasure Pier Galveston

Get on some rides at Pleasure Pier

Location: 2501 Seawall

Tips: If you are up for some fun rides and games head to Pleasure Pier! Park along the seawall or on their paid parking lot across the pier. You do have to pay to even walk on the Pier but you are able to take these two pictures for free.

Colorful Condos in Galveston

Stop at Four Seasons on the Gulf for a picture

Location: 4000 Seawall

Tips: I love finding the most colorful spots and I think this one wins as the most colorful! Did you know you could rent these condos? Or if you just want to take a quick picture park along the seawall then walk over. Also, note there are people staying here so please be respectful!

1892 Bishop's Palace

Sacred Heart Church Galveston

Abandoned House in Galveston

Abandoned House

Admire the Architecture

Location: East End Historic District

Facts: These are only a few of the beautiful buildings in Galveston. 1892 Bishop’s Palace is cited by the American Institute of Architects as one of the 100 most important buildings in America. You are able to visit inside and take a tour. At one point Sacred Heart Church was the largest church in Texas in 1892, you are welcome to visit inside.

We also happened to drive by this beautiful abandoned house. It definitely looks creepy but the architecture is amazing. Oh the stories it must have! Do you think it’s haunted?

Others to visit nearby 1895 Moody Mansion and 1859 Ashton Villa.

Take a picture at the Pride rainbow crosswalk
