tweet tweet!

I don't twitter, but I just got back from tanning and whitening my teeth at the same time. I am so seriously excited about this teeth whitening business while you tan! It might be my subconscious but I totally notice a difference! end tweet.

The Bachelorette

Oh please help me! I love, love, LOVE Jillian Harris' hair from her final appearance on The Bachelor. I am thinking it is in the running for perfect wedding day hair! Help me find a better picture....a bigger picture....any OTHER picture!? Eternally grateful.

makeup adventure

I went to Sephora tonight and got the skinny on some makeup items and recommendations on some basics.

-waterproof liquid eyeliner
-waterproof mascara
-weightless foundation
-primer
-bronzer
-blush
-eye brightener

So lets start with my inspiration wedding day makeup.

{Sara Gabriel Veiling and Headpieces}

Love the drama of the eyes and the lips. I do not plan to do a red lip cause that is just not me, but definitely will do a bolder than my Viva Glam MAC lipglass.

So...will there be tears? I really do not know, but I want to be prepared. So, after suggestions from my Sephora expert, I selected.....

{Makeup forever waterproof eyeliner}

{DiorShow Blackout Waterproof Mascara}

I could not wait to get home and play with my new makeup. I even got a sample of a new primer (Sephora Mattifying Primer). It was fun trying out some stuff. However, I knew that the liner would be difficult as I am very partial to my felt tip of Lancome's Artliner. So after playing with my makeup, I decided it was time to wash my face....hmmmm, now where is that makeup remover? I am sure I have a sample from Lancome somewhere? Or was that the sample that leaked and I threw away. I wonder if I can get this off. Well, 2o minutes later and I still have racoon eyes. I feel very confident that these items will deliver fabulous results on the day of the wedding! I will definitely get some makeup remover for future uses though! ;0)

DIY wedding makeup...oh yeah!

I love makeup! Going to MAC or Sephora is like going to a candy store! There are so many things that I am wanting to try so many beautiful colors. Ah heaven. I have recently become aware of of some products that I have never even heard of let alone even tried. I asked around and was not able to find out anything. Hmmm.

Primer-what is it?! Why do I need it? I do not know the exact answers to these questions, but I can tell you that I was able to get a few samples of some primers from Sephora. I tried the Sephora brand primer and I liked it...not sure what I am looking for, so I plan to try a few more. Another sample I have is by Smashbox. I plan to try that and also try to snag a sample of Laura Mercier. I hear Laura's is so fab.

Airbrush Foundation-huh? sounds so fab. I am dying to try the Dior AirFlash Foundation.

So what about waterproof eyeliner? I am thinking I need to look into this...any recommendations?

i heart nailtiques...

I have been using nailtiques on and off for 10 years or so. I love this product! Now that the wedding is about 6 months away, I need to focus on getting my nails in shape. I am very hard on my nails and tend to neglect them. So lots of awesome Sephora cuticle oil and my Nailtiques. It's a nice nightly routine....

What a day!

I normally would not post about everyday things, but boy did I have a crazy day and it is only 3:15! I have to leave for class in 15 mins, so I better make this fast!

Vern Update
Well little kitty is still at the HSMO. He will be there until the 6th or 7th. He is still sneezing, so lets hope he is better soon! I created a list of potential names for Vern, no Jill, we will not keep his name Vern! Chris decided one day that this kitty should be named Frankie since he has blue eyes. Hmmm, Frankie (or Franklin) is on the list of potential names, and I am warming up to the idea since my hopes of naming him Finn have been all but crushed! I will definitely post pictures of Vern when he arrives.

Aligned?
So my day was to start out with dentist appointment to get my invisalign retainer! Woot! Woot! I cannot believe that I am finished with my trays already, that seemed like it went really fast. Don't get me wrong, there were days when I just wanted to rip my teeth out of my mouth just to be finished with the trays, fortunately I still have all of my teeth now they are perfect!

Emergency Room
Who would have thought that when I woke up this morning that I would spend some time in the ER? Interesting huh! Don't you hate it when something happens and it wasn't even your fault...grrr... Anyway. I got up to get ready for the dentist, got in the shower. I was washing my hair and all of the sudden out of the corner of my eye, I see the mirror that was hanging on the window in the bathroom fall. It was like it was falling in slow motion. I kept thinking, PLEASE do not break. So it did not break, but man did my toe hurt. Then comes the blood. I was so confused! Why was I bleeding when the mirror did not break. As I am getting myself together and fighting the excruciating pain, I realize there is something laying on the bottom of the tub. It is the handle to the soap holder. Interesting. So on the mirrors downward decent, it crashed into the porcelin soap holder in the shower, broke off the handle and the handle is what sliced my foot. Ouch. So I get ready, apply a few steri-strips a bandaid and go off to the dentist, taste some cake, and then head to the ER. Anyway, I was able to have it glued instead of having stitches since the bleeding pretty much stopped. So I have my three toes on my left foot taped together. It hurts when I walk which is a bummer. Oh well. Time for class!
