A Wedding Weekend!

Well, my brother is married!! The wedding was beautiful and the bride and groom were sooo cute. It is such a blessing that my brother found such a wonderful girl and that they are so happy together! It was an incredibly busy weekend but one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Congratulations to Reuben and Hannah!! Here are some photos of the wedding...

 The Happy Couple. :) Can you believe she got her dress on ebay?????

The wedding was at Becker Farms...what a beautiful venue! If you are looking for a gorgeous place to hold your wedding, this is definitely a great option!! Everything was nicely done and looked so elegant. The food was yummy too!!

 The bride's mother made the cake...it tasted as good as it looked!

I love this picture. My littlest man and my hubby. So cute together. :)

My honey and I.

So, after a long weekend I am ready to get back into blogging...stay tuned for some fun and exciting reviews and giveaways! :)

Renting a Photo Booth

Wow, so we are just about into June here and I am sooo excited for June to get here! Several reasons why...my son is going to be celebrating his 3rd birthday and it brings back so many memories when I think back to his birthday. He was my very first VBAC and although it was a difficult labor, every minute with him since has been wonderful. The other reason I am excited for June is because my brother is getting married!! He is marrying his childhood sweetheart and our entire family is just thrilled to death that they are finally getting married. I was talking to my future sister-in-law and she told me that when they were children, everyone said that one day they would get married but they just didn't believe it. I actually have a picture of the two of them when they were like 5 and they are walking down a road holding hands. Awww, I always knew they would get married someday.

So, wedding season is in full swing and I recently saw a friend post on Facebook about how there was a wedding she went to and the bride and groom had rented a photo booth (or Capture Pod)! How cool is that. When you go to a mall there are photo booths planted in the center of the main thoroughfare and you can stop and for a few dollars, make a few memories.

How about renting a photo booth for your wedding or special occasion and then letting your guests enjoy themselves all while making some memories! I have seen some hysterical pictures that have come from some of these booths and to be honest, I kind of wish I had thought of that when I was married. The creativity can bubble over and you will also be able to preserve the more "unique" moments of the day. What about you? Did you ever rent a photo booth for your special day or event? If so, how did it go? Did you die laughing when you saw the photos being pumped out of it? I would LOVE to hear your story so please do leave a comment with your funny photo booth story.

No More Makeup Touch-ups Thanks To Mary Kay's Makeup Finishing Spray!

I honestly cannot believe that I have been married 7 years this year. Wow! We just recently had an engagement announcement at our church and it brought back SO MANY memories for me! Remembering my hubby's proposal, planning the details of our wedding and enjoying that very special day (and our very first kiss!). Everything was so very perfect, I would not change one thing about our wedding day. As I was talking to the newly-engaged young lady at church, I was overwhelmed with memories and turned to my husband. Grinning, I said "I want to do it again (with the same guy of course!)!!" He just smiled and ushered our little family out the door to go home. It was something that I will never forget and yes, I would love to get married all over again. 

Because I was never a huge makeup user prior to my wedding, I had many friends offering to do my makeup on the day of my wedding. I chose to have my friend with a cosmetology license help me and she did a fantastic job. As with all makeup, by the middle of the day I needed a touch up, and then another touch up towards the end of the day as we were heading into the reception. Makeup just needs to be refreshed every now and then because that is how it just is. 

SO, when I found out that Mary Kay carries a Makeup Finishing Spray, I was ecstatic! Could it be that this would solve the much needed makeup touch-ups that women go through on a daily basis??? Oh goodness...I was excited. 

So, for this review I was sent a bottle of Mary Kay Makeup Finishing Spray to try out. This spray retails for $18 and can be purchased directly from http://www.marykay.com or from an independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. 

To use this Makeup Finishing Spray simply hold it 20-25 cm away from your face and spray it 2-4 times in an "X" and "T" motion. This will ensure that you get an even application. What I truly love about this spray is that it is light and breathable...no stickiness or tacky feelings to deal with at all. I also love that this spray will not stain your clothing and that is is color fast too...fantastic! It really has no scent to it either so that helps a great deal if you are sensitive to scented beauty products. 

So, after you have applied your makeup be sure to use Mary Kay's NEW Makeup Finishing Spray. It will add a finished look to your makeup and will ensure you will not have to reapply your makeup on even the busiest of days...for up to 16 hours after applying!!! If you are a spring or summer bride this is a MUST HAVE for your makeup arsenal. I wish I had been in possession of this on my wedding day...it would have saved time and would have really "set" my makeup nicely. 

So, in my opinion...Mary Kay's Makeup Finishing Spray is wonderful! It feels great and works so well for me. I have oily skin and it still help my makeup nicely! I love how it will work on any skin type and will keep you looking good throughout the day without having to reapply your makeup. Truly another fantastic product from Mary Kay that I am looking forward to using in the months to come!
