Product of the Week!

I like to switch up skin care, make up, and even perfume between seasons (spring/summer and fall/winter). For spring I like sheerer, lighter weight textures for everything-including any kind of scent I dab on. When I was younger, I used to swim in my perfumes and body products (does Victoria's Secret Tranquil Breeezes bring back memories for anyone?). These days, I like to keep things a bit more subtle (mysterious as my Mimi would say).

We all know how fabulous and popular

True Religion Jeans have been, so it should have come to no surprise that their perfume has become the hit it is! It is light and airy- clean for daytime and sexy enough for night. Somehow it made it into my basket as I was leaving Ulta the other day!

It was worth it because my husband even commented on how yummy it smelled!

A Grateful Heart!

The gift of one's time and talent are the most precious gifts. My gal Jules is constantly giving me both! We met years ago through a business connection (my first actual conversation with her was while I was in labor with my son Cameron at the hospital)... since then we have been each others biggest fan and frand! Every year or so she is shooting something for me-photos for marketing,my pregnant belly, pictures of the kiddos running around in diapers, or one of our beautiful Brides. This week we are getting together to shoot some updated promo stuff and at the last minute-she let me crash a shoot (due to it's fab location) last Friday. We had so much fun and I finally got to meet Kiesha (BFF from NC)...who lives up to her own legend of being "wonderful" too.

These are a few shots Jules got...not sure in what content I will use them in just yet. It's been a while since I have picked up the microphone-but she sure stirred my inner rockstar!

Love you Jules and thanks again!

Perfect Product!

We are always on the lookout for what we call "Perfect Products". Some products are obviously better than others and some frankly we just can't imagine living without.

Oil of Olay has really stepped up their game and has recently come out with new amazing products. They recognize that people are still spending on their beauty routines, but they are spending more wisely. We have blogged before on the Regenerist Line and how much we love that! Our latest must have are their make up removing wipes! I believe they have 3 different kinds of wipes that remove make up, but these are our FAV! They are super moist, ready to go and take off ALL make up! We carry them in our kits and I have them in my car and gym bag! They are also great to keep in your bedside table for all you night owls who don't like to take your make up off before bed(gasp) and are perfect for traveling (they meet airline regulations)!

See for yourself and let us know what you think!

"Bump" Beauty!

Holla back all you pregger peaches...this is for you! I have o'plenty girlie friends who have buns in the oven at present-including my sister Lorie who is 14 weeks with her second bambino. I have been digging around trying to find what's new out there for all of my pregnant peeps and found this company...Momma Mio! I love their gift sets and some of their products sound so luxurious and relaxing-I want to try them (and I am NOT pregnant!). My favorite is the BBB Gift Set for the 2nd trimester. It stands for Boobs, Belly, and Bottoms and comes withTummy Rub Oil, Boob Tube (for stretch marks), and Wonder-Full Balm (for the bum area).Their packaging is adorable and I simply can't make up my mind what I want to order first!

A Girl After My Own Heart...or Make Up Kit Really!

My sweet Sophie! I met Miss Sophie last spring while working with one of the best families...The Lynch's. Sophie is the darling niece of Lynda MOB of Franca...Franca was one of my gorgeous Brides for 2008 (did you get all that?). Anyway,Soph and I had a wonderful time chatting away the entire day of the wedding. Come to find out she is crazy mad about make up! Not only does she love the color aspect, but is already extremely talented at mixing, blending, and trust me when I say the girl is already good with the brush! She fell in love with a lip palette that I had been carrying around and spent at least an hour in that kit alone. Needless to say, everytime I looked at that sitting in my kit, I thought of her. I kept thinking of how much she would like this and probably get more use out of it than me...so finally after the season calmed down enough for me to get to the post office...I sent it to her! All the way over to Glasgow! I heard back from Miss Diva Divine with the sweetest thank you card and photo saying how much she loved her new lip kit. What can I say, at such a young age she has a clear vision and passion for anything related to make up! Truly a girl after my own heart (or shall I say make up kit?)! I will look forward to keeping in touch with the entire Lynch family, especially my little Sophie.

Maybe one day, I can go work for her!
