 Hey Royals! Of the many things I have adopted from my mom, I gravitated toward her love of body care! Many Christmases ago, my mom added a goodie bag to my multitude of gifts. In it was a compilation of skin care and body washes she curated while holiday shopping. Body washes, perfumes, face towels, washcloths, makeup wipes, body lotion, and my favorite: luxury soaps! Little known fact about me: I don't use shower gels or sponges. I find some kind of odd pleasure in using a bar of luxury soap & a washcloth. On every trip to Home Goods, I purchase at least 4 bars. I visited a World Market store (I'm slightly obsessed now) I found a whole section dedicated to the wonderful soaps I love! I grabbed these two!  I love to try different scents! And this company: Castelbel makes so many perfectly scented soaps, and the packaging is always exemplary! I fell in love with the crown logo!  This Wild Iris is so smooth... Light floral undertones won't overwhelm you at all! You'll feel like your shower has gifted you with a beautiful bouquet! Which we all need.... daily!  This Sea Minerals scent immediately transports you to a beach!
So soothing and refreshing! It's a mini vacation in the shower! And of course, we all need that daily, too! So, I say! Skip the Dove for a few, and try something like one of these! Make your bathroom into your spa! These luxury soaps also leave a little moisture, so you're not ashy when you dry off! Let me know if you have any questions! I'm here for you! The Squeaky Clean Queen!

 Hello Royals! Glad to have you back! I am constantly improving... Me.. and my home! Well one day, I was looking around my apartment and I found something I didn't like and needed to change it ASAP!  Any guesses?? Weeeeeell! My Chairs!  My chairs are brown leather.. They matched what my home USED to look like. I thought about buying new chairs to go with the new look But then, I was inspired! Just put some chair covers on em!  It was such a quick change! And such an easy change! It fit my budget and helped me with the ever evolving look of my kingdom!  I hope you are inspired!
There are some gems you have at home That don't need to be thrown out! Just get inspired and revamp them! Need any ideas?! Hit me up! I'll help you! Queen Es  Hey Royals!

I am better than what I was. And I am in constant discovery to be Better than who I am! Living My Truth, Queen Es Well Helloooooo there my Royal Family! Can I be honest with you about something? I battled with sharing this part of my trip on the blog But Hey.. It's MY life with MY beau! I can't apologize if you don't like it.  My Beau has a hobby.. A very classy, gentleman-like hobby And I enjoy learning about the art & finesse of cigars from him  Teaching Moment: You don't inhale & swallow the smoke from a cigar. It's about the taste & the smell & most importantly, the moment. 
After visiting several cigar shops I have found my favorite brand & flavor.. But I am enjoying trying different cigars And becoming more knowledgeable! Leaf Type, Gage, Intensity, Flavor, Maker...  The Moral of the Story:
Find a hobby! Live your Life! Do what makes you happy! Love yourself! Love somebody! Smile! Love, Queen  My Royal Family! Houston has so much to offer! I took a day to roam! As if I needed another excuse to fall in love with the city! You may see a look of wonder on my face today, and here's why! LOL This day trip was captured on SnapChat too! Follow me! TheQueenEsmari
