Date Night

Our last date night was so fun, I had to share! We saw Chance The Rapper at Red Rocks and I was blown away. The venue is absolutely stunning and he was so entertaining. I've always appreciated Hip Hop but I can't tell you how amazing it is to see a rapper who is passionate about Jesus Christ and not ashamed of it. The concert was pure entertainment and "the type of praise that'll make Jesus come back a day early"! It was incredible!! Hands lifted in praise and while singing, "when the praises go up the blessings come down". He may be my new favorite rapper. 

Date Night

I've always been big on date nights but after Lois was born, I underestimated the struggle leaving two kids at home.

The cost of a babysitter, not wanting to leave a very small baby and just the sheer effort it took to get ready with a toddler asking every other minute, "where are you and daddy going?" while your infant demands to be held. But Lois has hit an age of predictability and we have been making up for lost time the last two weekends. We've had a few date nights in the last 5 months but we're ready to make it more of a frequent event again.

This weekend Chris Rock was in town and we were really excited to see him live. He was inappropriate, socially relevant, and absolutely hilarious. The great thing about dating in Denver is that most musicians, comics and shows make Denver a tour stop. The date night opportunities are endless. We have plans to see Big Sean and Chance the Rapper this Spring and Summer and we are pumped. I'll be getting back to posting more date night outfits, makeup and ideas! P.S shout out to all of our trust worthy babysitters. None of these dates would be possible without you!

Date Night

I remember judging model Chrissy Teigen (whom I really like) in my head and maybe even out loud when I saw that she and her husband John Legend were out just two weeks after her baby was born. "How could she leave her baby so soon? Celebrities are crazy! Damn she looks good!"

Double Date Nights

Date nights are always fun right? Wrong, sometimes they are a freaking blast!!!! And we had the pleasure of having them back to back. While our besties were in town we painted it red while the kids slept. Well Liam slept, apparently Noelle was making the babysitter work for her money by coming out of our room and chatting her up for another couple hours past her bedtime. But enough about the kids, the adults had a great time. I love that our friends are able to separate from being in mom and dad mode and really have a good time and talk about adult topics. We have so many memories together before our kids and we are so blessed to continue to make memories with and without our children.

The first night was filled with different foods and yummy drinks!

We loved this speak easy so we had to bring De and Somaiya to check it out!

Bomb.com drink called the 'Coco Buttah'!

What you know bout that petty cab life? 

What I wore night #1

This pink knit sweater from H&M is so comfy and a perfect fit with these acid wash jeans, which by the way I hope I look much thicker in than these models! These suede fringe booties have been my favorite this fall. I paired the look with a feathered necklace that I've had for years.

We weren't sure things would go off as smooth the second night, but everyone behaved for the babysitter and it was parents night out again!! 

We heard of this really cool place called Avanti Food and Beverage. There are seven restaurant concepts housed in shipping containers with a full bar in the front. It was the coolest food court I had ever been to. 

 The food was so good! Some of the items included lamb and grits, pork belly tacos and this shrimp and noodle bowl.

We tried to get to a different speak easy but the wait was at least 2 hours, so Green Russel it was!!! #cocobuttahgang

What I wore night #2

I was so geeked to find something for our date night so last minute because it usually NEVER happens that way! I know I'm not the only one that can't find ANYTHING when you're actually looking. I was even more hype when I walked out of Forever 21 paying only $30 for these black skinny jeans, black fedora and keep it simple tee. I paired it with a short black jacket I already had but here's a similar short jacket here. I wore black booties I've had for a long time but I found a great deal for these cute black booties here. For my makeup that night I had a dramatic winged eye, used format blush from MAC and my favorite fall color on my lips! 

Any fun plans for the weekend? Tj and I will be heading to Miami for the COWBOYS vs. dolphins game!! You already know!

Date Night

Hey good people! Sorry I've been ghost lately, just over here doing life. I've got lots new content coming your way for the next couple weeks so hang with me. First up another date night post!! This weekend we made our way out with the couple from our building. They know all the hot spots to eat in town so going out with them is always fun because we get to try something new and learn of more places to hit up in the future. 

Just a peek into what getting ready looks like for me. The bathroom in our apartment has no windows aka torture!! I love windows and I'd have them in every room and bathroom if I could (a must for our next house). Because of the lack of natural light I do my makeup in front of a window in our room and it's a free for all for ol' Nelly here. She gets into everything, pulling out every item and trying her hardest to open it. Usually the next step is to take out every brush and pretend to put on makeup like mommy. 

My look for the night was a really natural eye with a bold lip. I skipped my liquid eyeliner (my ride or die) and went with some natural lashes. I love this liner and lip color combination for the fall, you will probably be seeing a lot of it.   

Our first stop was a lounge at the Hyatt for drinks with a view.

We ate dinner at The Nickel, the food was great!

We ended the night with great conversation and dessert at The Crave. The great part about the night was that everything was downtown and in walking distance from each other. My new bootie's were super comfortable for a cool night on the town.

What I wore!

My long jean shirt, faux fur vest and tights are all from H&M. My suede fringe bootie's are Madden Girl and I got a great deal on them from Famous Footwear. I paired the outfit with a simple necklace from H&M and small stud earrings. 

Hope you all have a happy hump day!!! 

Date Nights

Our last couple of date nights have been really fun! A couple weeks ago we had a double date with another couple that live in our building. They are really friendly and hanging out with them is always a pleasure.
