Gorgeous...

This picture SO makes me want to get married again, just so I can substitute a giant flower for a veil..

So Tired... But I Still Wish I Had An Occasion to Dress Up For.

Jamaica Recap... Part 2!

{Um, yeah. My hair was straight when we left the hotel room to go to dinner... Humid much?}

{you could probably plant a button in Jamaica and it would grow into a shirt tree. I'm not kidding, they have the most fertile, perfect climate - and some GORGEOUS flowers!}

{Yeah, sorry. We're dorks. Apparently, similarities DO attract.}

{My own personal Tom Cruise, minus the couch-jumping tendencies.}

{Obviously I've had fun with some photo editing. This one is my favorite...}

{The man surveying his domain outside our 3rd hotel suite - we moved around a bit this trip!}

For those who are curious about the particulars of the trip, I'll be posting a detailed summary/review later today or perhaps tomorrow... :)

Jamaica Recap... Part 1!

{1st evening - most perfect sunset ever!}

{The hubs getting SCUBA certified. I declined to join. Because I am apparently a delicacy for jellyfish.}

{Our 1st of 3 different rooms we stayed in during the trip. Long story.}

{View from room #1. Gorgeous.}

{The hubs getting back from his 1st SCUBA adventure!}

{I drank a cold bev. (or 3) while the hubs scuba-ed (is that a word?) his little heart out!}

{Dinner the 2nd night. Note the Casper-white skin tone. Obv. I'm still on the SPF 189 at this point.}

{If only I lived this close to a bar that would make me fruity drinks 24/7 in real life. Sigh.}

More to come soon!

Elegant.

Doesn't this picture make you want to go to Niagara Falls?

(hope she has extra-hold hairspray on that fabulous 'do, it looks kind of damp where she's standing...)

Pro & Con.

You know what sucks?

Moving.

You know what doesn't suck?

Living waaayyy closer to these girls.

Jamaica Recap Coming Soon.....

*This is our entry for the "hugest, cheesiest dorks on the planet go on vacation" photo contest. Think we'll take the trophy?

Summer Makeup Shopping List.

Hi pretty friends!!! (Obviously I assume that you are all women - but, if you are a man and reading my blog...well, I think you're pretty too.)


Long time no talk, huh? Lots has happened in the past 2 weeks... but this post isn't about that. Nope, this post is about something much more important!


SUMMER MAKEUP!


I heart hot weather. Like, it can be 90 degrees and 99% humidity, and I'll run around telling everyone who will listen how beautiful the weather is. (to those 4 1/2 people in the world who actually listen - thank you :) I don't know where you live, but in TX, we have 2 kinds of weather; weather that is hot (like 100 degrees + at least 3 months out of the year), and weather that is "oh my gosh I don't even own a coat and there is a snow flurry so I don't think I should leave the house". Pretty much, its usually hot April - October.


Hot weather + high humidity = bright colored makeup


You don't want to wear a lot of heavy foundation - it will just melt off your face, and leave you looking like someone turned the heat up in Madame Tussuad's House of Creepy Wax Figures Who Look Like Celebrities.


Instead, just use a little cover-up (or tinted moisturizer, if you can get away with it), and then use bright colors and fun summery hues to bring the focus to your eyes, lips, or cheeks!


As far as scents go, keep it light and fun - heavy perfumes just get magnified to unbearable in hot weather :)


A couple of freakinfabulousandgorgeous products that will bring me closer to being Sephora's #1 all time customer (RuPaul and I are currently fighting tooth and press-on nail for the top spot):


Nars blush in Crazed (you didn't know I had a blush named after me, did you?) sephora Pop Beauty Lid Neon sephora
Kiss Kiss Gloss neiman marcus
Rimmel Glam Eyes in Posh Peacock ulta
Vera Wang Glam Princess macy's
Essie polish in Watermelon ulta


Gotta go - happy friday!!!

Saturday Activity Options Brought to You by the Letter 'S'.

Here were my activity options today, in sunny gorgeous Jamaica.

SCUBA: Being trapped underwater with only a tank of air and some breathing apparatus that you're supposed to stick in your mouth (who knows where that mouthpiece has been... ew. ) with the possibility of getting stung by a jellyfish, eaten by a shark, or stabbed through the chest by a stingray.

OR

SPA & SUN: Relax while being massaged, wrapped, exfoliated, and pampered. Then, lay in a comfy chair next to the ocean while drinking delicious calorie-laden, umbrella-sporting drinks.

Bet you can't guess which activity I chose and which one the husband chose.
