Welcome to thedoubletakegirls – our style and beauty adventure as 29-year- old identical twin sisters.  As past fashion and beauty associates and now seasoned shoppers, we always get questions from friends and family about our outfits and favorite beauty products and tips! We love to mix and match pieces from our everyday work attire, to use for other business and social events, and then for weekend fun. We are on the continual beauty hunt for the best new products to streamline our routine for our style doubletake. As twins, we embrace both our similarities and slight differences in opinion. (It does happen!) We are excited for you to join us for our “double take” on fashion, styling, and beauty to help you feel and look your best on any budget. We invite you to follow us daily with our doubletake style and makeup diary blog!

Hey four eyed friends! This post is for you!

Here's the deal, I have worn glasses for quite some time. Like since 10th grade long time. That is until I dicovered contacts and broke my glasses a few time. This equaled me wearing my contacts for waaaayyy too long and never taking them out. Yikes. 

You think I would learn after conrinuted deteriorating eye sight and eye irritiation, but NOOOO, I'll just keep the same pair of contacts in for an eternity. 

Bad idea. I recently decided to actually care about my eyes and get glasses again! Wow, did you know glasses are expensive? Not only do I need glasses to wear when I'm not wearing contacts, but I need glasses to wear OVER my contacts when I'm at the computer. Double expensive. 

That's where GlassesUSA.comcomes in. They offer a HUGE selection of affordable eyeglasses! You can even "try on a pair" with their virtural mirror, which makes buying glasses online a breeze! Better yet. they have offer a 110% lowest price guarantee and a 100% satisfaction guarantee along with a generous refer-a-friend program.

There are several eyeglasses frames that are at least HALF the cost of the two I have. I am really looking forward to buying a new pair at a much cheaper price! Take advantage of these offers!

Cherry Cream Cheese Hand Pies

Mmmmm. Pie. 

Not just any pie, tiny cherry pies. Small the pie, smaller the calorie count. This means you can eat as many as you want. 

No, not really. I practice and promote portion control. You would never know it, huh? 

These pies are extremely quick to whip up. If you don't want to make your own cherry pie filling, use store bought. I promise, no one will judge. Especially when I you eat it from the can.

Cowboy Beef and BBQ Bean Sandwiches

Are you sick of crock pot recipes yet? Yeah, I didn't think so. 

If you are, and you discredit my blog because I use it so much...that's ok. I probably would too. But hey, I never claimed to want, need, or attempt to slave in my kitchen for 10 hours while preparing a recipe that you would probably never make. 

Just being real, folks. 

These, on the other hand (you know that one that isn't changing a diaper/running after a child/pulling weeds/trying to find something to wear/feed the dogs/and  never make it to work on time), can be thrown into the beloved crock pot in minutes. Win. 

These made me feel like I was eating a sophisticated Sloppy Joe. I topped mine with some cole slaw mix (you know, the one I made from the vegetables I have time to grow in the back yard, right next to all my dying flowers) from a pre-made bag.

These were quite flavorful and my husband even went back for a second sandwich. That, my friends is the unspoken good job I find worth more than gold, a Louis Vuitton bag, my car tag...

Enjoy. 

Reina Perfume {Sponsor Spotlight}

Meet one of my fabulous July Sponsors, Reina Perfume!

It is true we all like to see and smell like beautiful things. This is one of the reasons why Reina Perfume was created. It is a natural perfume that comes in two distinct Royal scents:  Sapphire and Pearl.  Hazael, the creator of Reina Perfume, has a deeper vision for this fragrance collection. Women who wear Reina are real women with real lives.  They are moms, wives, sisters, friends, students, entrepreneurs.  They are resilient and strong.  

 A true Queen discovers that there is beauty and potential inside her. One of the ways in which Hazael inspires women to reach and discover their potential is by sponsoring events entitled: The Queen in You. At these events she and her team teach the principles of the kingdom of God by helping the women realize how beautiful and strong they really are.
