    My friend taught me about the gas tank thing. I had no idea haha and my husband doesn’t necessarily know everything, but he’s annoyingly good at everything. It drives me insane.

  • Brooke and I had the best shopping day at @magpies_gifts 💜✨

Y’all… they truly have something for EVERYONE on your list. From the cutest seasonal finds 🇺🇸 to home decor, candles, beauty favorites, jewelry, baby gifts, Jellycats, collegiate + faith-based gifts, and even a section for the guys 🙌🏻

And don’t even get me started on the clothes… both of our dressing rooms were FULL 😂 We found the cutest outfits and both came home with two of them 🤩

They also have the sweetest totes, makeup bags, puzzles, kids gifts & so much more. I came home with a new puzzle too and about 10 more things I wanted to buy 🥰

If you’re in the Houston area, go visit their Sugar Land or Bellaire locations (+ they have a great website for shopping too!) — and definitely give them a follow because you’re going to LOVE them 💜✨
