Nov 08 brides

Tara, you look beautiful in your dress! I can't wait to see everything put together on your wedding day. Have you decided on your jewelry yet?

 

Celina, have fun at your bachelorette party. I can't wait to see pics of the girls in their wigs. What a fun idea!

My Aunt had leukemia, and although that was going well, she ended up with lymphoma as well, and by the time she had signs of it, she was already stage 4 and passed away less than a week later. As for my Nanny, she has CHF and her heart is slowly dying. She also has pneumonia on top of bad lungs to start with, so she isn't a candidate for any surgery.

 

Celina - Have fun at you bach party tomorrow and make sure you get a pic of your cake.

 

Tara - OMG!!!! I can' believe you are in the single digits now!

I'm wearing the jewelry in the picture. Pendant pearl necklace, with a drop pair of pearl earrings.

Steph your dress looks awesome!!! I love the sweetheart neckline

Steph, your dress is gorgeous. I love it! It is looks perfect on you.

I had a busy day day yesterday. I had my hair appointment at 11 for cut, color and trial updo. I was torn on what hair color to go with- go all dark or low/hi-lites. She said if she took me back to all dark since my hair was so light it would fade really fast especially with being in the sun in Mexico so my hair might be a lighter color by the wedding. So she suggested putting more lo-lites in. She did that, but then we both decided I needed some more hi-lites around the face. I'm not really that tan right now so the darker color kind of washed me out. So she went back in and put some hi-lites. She did the trial, but the picture that I liked the best said really wouldn't work out well on my hair because it wasn't long enough so the bun part wouldn't look as full as the picture. So she did a kind of a messy loose stye so it would look like i had more hair. When I was at the salon she kind of put her fingers where the flowers would be pinned in so it will be a little tighter. When I got home some of the pieces fell out already since she didn't completely pin it up so I ended up taking it down before we went out. I think in Mexico I will have them do the style a little tighter than she had done it, because with the wind I know my hair will fall right out. Plus, I want a few smaller flowers like the girl had in the picture, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get them as I have only seen pictures of brides with one big flower so I guess I will kind of have to play it by ear. At least I have an idea of what to do though. I love how the color turned out and I already made a hair appointment for the day after we get back to get my hair chopped! I can't wait!

Then, I headed over to the mall to go to Bare Escentuals to get my make-up done. My face has been breaking out recently probably due to stress so I wanted to try different foundation/powder to use on the wedding day. She did my whole face and I really liked how my eye make-up came out so I ended up buying almost everything she used! I spent $230! I am such a sucker. I ended buying the lipstick, gloss, extra brushes. Ridiculous, but at least I know it will cover up the acne which was my main concern. Plus, it stayed on all night which was good.

After my make-up I met my two best friend's at Maggiano's for dinner. They made me wear this Bride-to-Be light up necklace. I ended up turning it off at the table because people were staring at me. Ha ha! They both gave me cards with really sweet things about our friendships in there so I started to tear up! I am such a sap. Then they gave me the starfish necklace from Tiffany's! I was so excited. I wanted to get that necklace for myself, and almost had bought it for them for their gifts but I wanted to get them more stuff. Our dinner was great, and then we headed out to North Beach. It is a bar/club with indoor sand volleyball and bowling. We had a few drinks there and danced the night away. We had a great time, and I haven't been out dancing in a long time. I forgot what a great workout it was! Plus, the make-up stayed on after I was sweating so I know I'll be OK in Mexico! I have a couple pics of my hair and the of me and the girls:

My hair (just imagine flowers in the second picture):

I need to go eat some breakfast, clean my house, and work on the wedding programs. And maybe take a nap, I got up way too early this morning!

Michelle, makeup looks good...I love that stuff!! And it looks like you had a good time with your friends, love the necklace!
