September Rewind & Project One Way Recap

Hello friends!

I’m back from visiting my Grandma Nola and it was so wonderful to get to see her and spend time with her at her home in California.  She’s as wonderful as ever and full of wisdom and advice.  It was so special that she took time out to tell me what a joy I’ve been in her life and I feel the same.  I’m hoping we can go back around the holidays and visit again.

And today’s is my Dad’s birthday, so it’s been quite the emotional week.  I think I might just sleep all weekend!  I always feel exhausted after going out of town!

SEPTEMBER REWIND

As I type up this September rewind, I can’t believe we’re almost to October! Isn’t it wild?? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was blogging about all the New Year stuff and now it’ll be Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas before we know it!  Here’s a roundup of some of my favorite posts on Honey We’re Home in September in case you missed any.  You can always subscribe here so you never miss a post!

PROJECT ONE WAY

I couldn’t wait to share the ‘behind-the-scenes’ at the fashion show I did last week at Sugar Land Town Square!  Last year’s Project One Way fashion show was one of the most challenging and crazy things I’ve done since I started blogging – so of course, I said yes when they asked me back for a second time this year!

Project One Way is a ‘one-woman’ fashion show, where I changed in and out of clothes onstage for about 45-minutes, all the while talking about what I was wearing and how to mix and match the pieces!  It’s like an InstaStory Try-On session on steroids – with a live audience!

Project One Way
This year’s show featured items from Sugar Land Town Square retailers: Altar’d State, Charming Charlie, Eye TrendsLOFT, Mann Eye, Revolution Studios, Luggage & Leather and Radiate.
Before the show, they set me up with Sugar Land Salon & Spa glam squad.  It’s always a treat getting to sit back and relax while the professionals work their magic!
Project One Way
It was a ton of work to rehearse (I wanted to be as prepared as possible since it was in front of a live audience), but I realized that I LOVE to do this kind of thing!  It’s really so much fun and one of the best parts was getting to meet my blog readers after the show!  We got to chat and take pictures and hug in person- it was awesome!

There was a big chance of rain, so we moved the event inside an old shop space. Other than the move, the whole thing went off seamlessly and I have to thank the team I worked with and Sugar Land Town Square for being such gracious hosts. Their whole center is the perfect place to get together with your friends and family and go unwind and eat at one of the nice restaurants and then do some shopping!
