I went to the Laura Mercier counter today! I went in without any pictures and just knowing that I wanted to look like me, only a little enhanced. The girl I had was AWESOME. She asked for my input but for the most part went with her ideas - which was totally want I wanted. I've never known if I've been picking the right colors for my skin/eyes/hair so I really wanted someone to tell me what would look best on me. To top it all of she gave me a VERY detailed step by step instruction guide for how to put it on. Here are pictures: (little more shiny than right after, but we ran some errands and it's 112 here, so ....) disregard the bras in the background! and here's a closer up. i'm sticking with my own mascara... this stuff was kinda spider leg like

she looks amazing!!!

ok so I was looking at the pictures this morning of the BE. I just have the powder and blush on here.. no eye make up or lip stuff. Does my face look too pale in comparison with my arms?

Mine is always changing, but 90% of the time it's a pictures of one, or both, or my dogs. Now it's my girl Kody, on the way to our camping trip the other weekend.

I went to sephora today and got my make up done. they used bare minerals on me, and I ended up buying the starter kit and some blush. However, I set out to read reviews on the product and am finding a great deal of horrible reviews... people breaking out, enhancing pore visability, etc. Especially those with sensitive skin.. which I definitely have. What's your experience with Bare Minerals?

Well I'm back on the bus! For a few reasons... First I posted a bunch on the Alli site and they recommended a few things for me. 1. add fiber to my meals or fiber supplement 2. a digestive health yogurt and 3. MORE veggies! My other reason is that I NEED (read: can't do it without!) a STRICT plan to follow. Other wise I cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat... you get it. So tomorrow I'm back on it. I just hope I haven't gained back the 4.5 lbs I lost.... we'll see!! Congrats Tara, that is awesome!!!!!

i like all three of them! you need a poll!

I like the new look!

congrats!!! it's great you got to try them all on one after another.

yeay Maura and Jose!!! I hope your day is wonderful! Cannot wait to see pictures of you in your beautiful dress!

I'm not PMSing and I totally agree with all of this.

This is your and FI's weddiing - you are on the same page that you want it in Mexico - not an option to have it ANYWHERE else. YOU are paying for this wedding - if you don't have the wedding YOU and FI want, you will never, ever forgive yourself. your FMIL needs to get over her-self - this isn't about her and if she can't 'accomodate' her own son's wedding, she has much bigger problems than travel dates. I suggest putting an end to the madness and letting FMIL know that you and FI understand that this is not the exact situation she would like but this is when /where your wedding will be. Further, let her know that she is welcome to host and pay for an AHR for her friends and family that cannot make it if that is something important to her (don't you pay for that too!!) Finally, if you allow FMIL and FI's family to control you now at the beginning of your marriage, it will never stop and continue to get worse. Good Luck and ! Alyssa

Los Burros Bar.... that sounds interesting. Did you contact them? If so, would you mind sending me the contact info? Daiquir Dicks has been easy to email with, but the food.... I'm a simple eater, and I have no idea what half of they stuff they sent me even means.

I know how you feel. My dogs are my babies and rescues too. But if you search long enough you'll find a good boarding place that you'll feel comfortable taking them too. Granted you'll go see a hundred crappy ones first, but you'll find one.

Don't worry, you will find it. I went to, hmmm.... probably 8-10 dress places, some of them 2 or 3 times. And tried on at least 50 + dresses. I felt the exact same way you did. Totally defeated and unsure of every dress I tried on. I had decided I wasn't one of those people that would the the omg-this-is-the-one feeling. I was wrong. I just hadn't found my dress yet. I knew the second I tried on my dress, that it was my dress. Don't get discouraged. Just keep looking, you'll find it! Good luck!

very nice! and i love that you got stamps with your pets on them!

I got him from the same breeder. He's a huge sook... loves to cuddled and cuddled all the time. Here's Gunner and Hunter together... they are the best friends... love to play all the time. Both them and Boots snuggle into me every night in bed to go to sleep... I love it, though I can't move... hahaha I love Shelties!! I had one growing up, Scooter, he was the best dog ever!

does anyone have the menu for Daiquiri Dicks? They keep sending me options, but I really want to see the whole menu.... The food might not be what we were looking for.... which is unfortunate as the other place I contacted about our WD have never returned my emails....

Nice work, they look great!

OMG I miss Bonkers!!!!!!!!! I loved loved loved them!

So we don't know each other, but we work in the same industry, and across the street from each other. Too funny! BDW closes the gap on an already small world!
