What is Texas without Tex-Mex? This popular fare will soon be found in abundance within the doors of the newest member of our shopping community, Sazon Tex-Mex & More.

Dedicated to Excellence

Sazon Tex-Mex is passionate about using only the most natural ingredients and preparing them fresh, by hand, every day. Quality skirt steak, chicken, pork and certified ground Angus beef are marinated for 24 hours in readiness for your special meal.

Something Extraordinary for Everyone

Whether craving enchiladas or soft tacos, soup or salad, a juicy burger or a little something sweet to finish off your meal, Sazon has you covered!

The Torta Cubana sandwich is a pulled pork lovers dream, finished with smoked ham and monterey jack cheese on a crisp, Cuban bun and served with fries or even a side of fried yucca. The same slow-cooked pork nested into soft flour tortillas is adorned with grilled cheese and savory tomatillo and hot sauces, then sprinkled with cilantro and pickled onions and served with black beans and rice.

Sazon’s must-try Tex-Mex Burger is a winner! A full half-pound of seasoned ground brisket is embellished with sautéed poblano peppers and onions, bacon, cheddar cheese and condiments and sandwiched inside a toasted brioche bun.

Sizzling Fajitas

At Sazon, the Signature Fajitas showcased on their sizzling platters are the stars of the show. Tender, medium grilled, marinated skirt steak or chicken are served over a generous portion of grilled onions and peppers, then paired with lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, refried beans and rice, and warm flour tortillas. Can’t decide? You don’t have to! Request a mixed plate of both chicken and steak.

Hand Crafted Margaritas and More

Sazon is known for their unique margaritas! The sweet and tangy House Margarita is a crowd favorite, but prepare your taste buds for singular, Latin-inspired flavors such as Mango, Guava, Tamarind and Passion Fruit. An extensive selection of imported and domestic bottled beers and non-alcoholic drinks are also available.

As we move into fall, it is time to trade the crop tops and shorts for coats, pants, and cardigans. The arrival of the cold air doesn’t mean you still can’t show off your style though. Here are three of the top fashion trends to look for this fall that will give you flair.

Winter Florals

We have seen a lot of floral in the recent seasons, but is not only exclusive to spring and summer. Look for the floral to be worn year-round with moodier versions found on coats and dresses. You can also find the floral print on a blouse to help give you a retro look that is still fun to wear.

Polka Dots

Polka dots are the timeless trend that is getting an upgrade this fall. The black and white polka dots are making a huge return, and they can be found anywhere from ball gowns to your casual favorites. The newly updated polka dot brings a sophisticated style to your fall wardrobe.

Puffer

The puffer jacket has recently gained popularity, and the demand is still growing. It is one of the hottest outer wear trends to look for this fall. The best thing about the puffer is there is plenty of variety to choose from. You will be able to find short or long puffer jackets with unlimited options of colors.

The colder weather is going to start moving in, and you can start showing off your new fall style soon. Whether you choose to wear floral or polka dots, wear it with confidence and lead the trend.

It’s officially (nearly) sweater weather! Fall is coming and it’s time for warm drinks and a brand new skin care regimen. As the cooler temperatures hit, prepare your skin for fall by following the tips below.

Moisturize

When the air is drier, as it tends to be in colder months, you’ll need a heavier moisturizer (cream rather than lighter, oil-based) to keep your skin from cracking.

Exfoliate

Exfoliation is key in preventing dryness and keeping your skin soft. Use an all-natural scrub without harsh chemicals or plastic beads. Exfoliation can sometimes be harsh on your skin, so try exfoliating your skin once a week during the fall months.

Sunscreen

Just because it isn’t 80 degrees and sunny outside doesn’t mean the sun can’t damage your skin. Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 on all areas of your body that aren’t covered by clothing, and reapply throughout the day as necessary, especially on your face.

Hydrate

It’s easy to remember to guzzle water when the weather is steamy and you’re sweating it all out. But don’t miss out on drinking plenty of fluid all year round. Stay away from too much sugar or caffeine. Plan water is best.

Get some rest

Sleep is still the best medicine for glowing skin, and rest has a whole host of other benefits, so there’s no excuse for skipping out. Make sure you’re getting between 7-9 hours every night to look and feel your best.

Don’t forget

Areas like lips and cuticles get dry too, and can be particularly painful if they crack. Lip balm and cuticle cream are quick additions to your skin care routine, and will save you from painful dry areas.

Most importantly, always pay attention to what your skin is telling you. You may need to switch products as fall approaches. Seasonal changes definitely affect your body in many ways, so if you notice breakouts, flaky skin, or other problems, it’s a sign that whatever you’re doing now needs to be switched up. Be proactive, prepare your skin for fall with Preston Valley.

Noted as one of the best times of year for avid decorators to display their creativity and explore new trends, fall is a great time to bring the crisp and cozy elements of the season into your home. From adding fall scents like pumpkin spice and apple cider, to creating wonderful floral arrangements and natural focal points, there are hundreds of ways to celebrate and enjoy everyone’s favorite harvest months. Let’s explore some perfect fall home decor ideas in this blog:

The weather is getting cooler and soon the trees will begin their transition from a wonderful, lively green to warm and vibrant hues of orange, red, and yellow.

While they’ve provided many fantastic ideas by a wide range of designers, here are a few of our favorites:

Making an Autumn Wreath: Wreaths have long been a favorite Fall décor go-to, and this year is no exception as they remain an ever popular trend in seasonal home style. Look for elements like pine cones, Indian corn, or leaves to dress up the front door of your home or simply to create an interesting addition to any interior wall arrangement. You can purchase one from your favorite store, or get creative and start a simple, fun DIY project.

Incorporating Leaves: One of the simplest and most charming long time trends of fall includes bringing the look and feel of fall inside using nothing more than gorgeous fall foliage. Sprinkling a colorful mix of Autumn leaves on various areas in your home-shelves, tables, etc.-is easy and makes the entire room feel like a walk through a fall wonderland. You can choose to stay natural and grab leaves from your own backyard or purchase faux leaves and reuse them year after year. Leaves are also a great addition to bouquets and centerpieces.

Pumpkins: The reining grand supreme of fall décor for years, pumpkins provide a beautiful range of possibilities for all of your Autumn decorating needs. Whether you paint them, carve them, stack them or hollow them out and use them as planters for your favorite fall flowers, these orange décor classics are the versatile trademark of all things fall. Place a few on your front porch for instant seasonal appeal, or bring them inside and try decoupage for a more modernized, trendy look.

There are many more ways to create a perfect fall theme for your home, but the important thing is that you and your family have fun making the look all your own. From the hundreds of ways to combine natural elements with new trends, it’s no wonder Autumn is everyone’s favorite time to decorate. However you decide to bring the harvest into your house this season, make it unique, make it trendy, make it yours!
