Things I want RIGHT NOW...

Hey ladies...I'm making a list of things I want right now, this sec...pronto!!!


1.) Starlet Lighted Tabletop Vanity Mirror

You can find it on Kandee the Make-Up artists blog - kandeethemakeupartist.blogspot.com OR on the company website - www.vanitygirlhollywood.com


2.) I got one of these bras last week, and let me tell you - THE RIGHT BRA SIZE FEELS LIKE A MILLION AND ONE BUCKS!!! I never wanted to up my size because that would just be admitting I've gained weight (plus, bigger bras look nasty, in my opinion)!!! I'm pretty much covered in the "top" area, so I normally don't like push up bras. This bra IS a push up but it doesn't have so much padding...so comfy. It got it in a pretty coral color but I want these next:



3.) Ok, I stalk Kim Kardashian - SO WHAT!!! I kid, I kid...but I DO want this:



4.) Of course I want everything from MAC, but right now I really want the Viva Glam Gaga lipstick - even if I never wear it:



5.) Also, from MAC...I want the new powder blush in FULL FUSCIA - what a pwetty color, dontcha think?



AND THIS, MY DEARS, CONCLUDES MY POINTLESS WISHLIST FOR TODAY!!! :)

And anotha...

Ok, we're going to call this - THE INCENTIVE DRESS

Hey ya'll...my week is off to a weird start. I didn't get to workout yesterday. Ok, it's been like almost two weeks. I've fallen off the wagon. But tonight we're stupposed to go to the high school near my house and run the track and do the bleachers...if ya'll don't hear from me - look for me there!!! I'm determined to lose 20 lbs by Springtime. I don't want to be all BLEH for Spring Training. Also, I'm now starting to go online to look at all the things I'm going to "buy" myself as an incentive. I found this website about a year ago. It has the cutest dresses (a little less conservative), but cute nonetheless. It's a website called Forplay Catalog (http://www.forplaycatalog.com). They have the most adorable accessories and dresses.


This is what I chose for my incentive dress...





I know I'm not the only one with a resolution to shed some weight so you all tell me what you do to stay in shape. I'm not normally a big person but ever since I met my husband I've gained fifty (YES 50 lbs...) I'd like to lose thirty and stay there...of course I'd be happy to lose 50 but come on...let's be realistic!!!

REFERRALS...REFERRALS!!!

Anyone out there I have two terrific referrals for wedding vendors.

1.) Arizona Sphinxx Photography. Look no further. Honestly, this is what I was most worried about vendor wise. TO be quite honest, photography is the single most expensive part of a wedding budget. We looked at photographers who were $2k and above. By chance, I jumped on craigslist and found the sweetest photographer. Christina and Cliff sat with Nick and I at Starbucks for a good two hours and we pecked back and forth at each other. We were able to establish a great relationship and we just "clicked". I'm now sad that we can't work with them anymore. The best way to pay them back is by referral. I think we paid $500 for our whole package and that included an engagement session...two hours at the baseball park in July...they're troopers. Christina and Cliff, thank you again!!!

2.) Make-up by Camille. I found Camille through someone I went to elementary school with and I'm glad he did. She is now my new hairdresser...Camille will come to you to do your hair and make up. I don't even think I showed her a picture of what I wanted all I did was describe to her what I was visioning and BOOM...it's was exactly what I wanted. I don't have a link for Camille but if you want her info go ahead and comment!!!

Starting over...

Ok, seeing as how I have NO followers...I'm really going to try and spaz this thing up...because honestly, I DO have fun blogging...when I did. Anywho, I'm going to be posting this to my FB account and see how many people I can get to follow me!!!

I'll start with a couple new things going on...NICK AND I ARE NOW MARRIED...but I guess I already knew that.



The day was beautiful and went mostly as planned with the exclusion of the cake issue...but I wasn't too worried about it. No Bridezilla here. Our wedding was fabulous for us. It may not be anyone elses dream wedding, but it was OUR dream wedding. I think people make it harder than what it really is. I mean all you really need is family, food and music. If you're crafty (or have crafty friends...CYNTHIA) - it's a cinch. We literally made all of our wedding decorations. We had our reception at the Base which was really nice on their golf course.



I got my bouquet from Safeway...I priced bouquets at a normal florist and they were going to charge me $200-250 for what I wanted which was just white roses and pinkish orchids. Went to Safeway and she charged me $80!!!



Got my dress on ebay...thanks Tar-Bear...it was an older Maggie Sottero (style Valencia) which was normally about $5k...didn't pay half of that...my dress only cost me $300...
