No retreat, No surrender.

While I did manage to find the cutest rain coat ever this week I am not going to show it to you tonight. Nope, not gonna do it. I've got something bigger. Ready? I'm getting married tomorrow. All I can think about are flowers and who is doing what and dresses and make up and hair. I don't have room in my head for rain coats.


This is my last night that I will not be Mrs Colin Andrew T. I can't sleep and I am nervous as hell. Not that it won't work, I believe in us, but just about the whole day. I am nervous that I am going to be too nervous tomorrow. I am jittery and ready to go do this. I am tired and exhausted and can't sit still. I feel like I am forgetting something.


I'm not tan enough and my nails look horrible. But you know what? None of that will matter at two o clock tomorrow afternoon when those doors open and I see Colin waiting for me. None of that will matter when he puts the ring on my finger. None of those things will matter when he kisses me in front of my Daddy. None of that will matter when we're pronounced husband and wife. What an honor it is to be able to marry him. What an amazing man God has given me.


What an honor.


No retreat, no surrender.

Summer is on it's way!

Why not stock up on flip flops? I LIVE in flip flops and being from the Deep South, we don't have to stop wearing them until November and they are back on our feet by March. I went on a shopping trip with a friend a few days ago and all I could find was flip flops. Now is a great time to buy them because they are not picked over and they are on sale! These are the ones that I got:

The top two are from  Charlotte Russe

The last is from Kohls.

I also bought a pair of sunglasses. It was an impulse buy because the sun was killer outside.I have never been able to find a pair of sunglasses that look decent on me but I picked these up on a whim and the are actually cute on!

Well I must be going, I have to go get my marriage license today! Yippie!

Setting sail on a love boat!

Charlotte Russe has a line out called "Love Boat" and let me tell you, I love it! The items are so fun and flirty! The first item I want to show you is this Nautical Button Dress

Oh how I love it!

And then of course there are these dotted twill shorts:

Usually you can find a ton of stuff online that isn't offered in the store but for some reason, I am having the exact opposite problem. I found the cutest skirt and sweater in the store but I can't find it online so I can't show them to you until I BUY THEM which I am determined to do!

Right now I have a lot going on and not a lot of time for shopping. I am also lacking the funds to do so! I am in the process of getting married (AH!! EXCITING) and moving into our new apartment (AH! EXCITING!!)

Anyway, just give me some time and I will have some sweet new purchases to share!

Sandals

I first saw these shoes in Lucky magazine and loved them so I went on an online quest to find them. It wasn't very hard since the advertisement included a web address, but I still feel like a pirate that found treasure.

My feet are aching to slip into these shoes. They come in several different colors but I absolutely love the pink. They don't actually come our until 4/1 but are available for pre order now. They are $85. Valentines gift anyone?

Skin Care Update

I haven't written in a few days because I really haven't had anything good to write about. Work has been exhausting! Every day when I come home I all but fall into bed! I have to be at work soon but I did want to  give you guys an update on my skin care products that I have been using. 

It come with four different products.

1. Purity Cleanser- It is gentle but MELTS your make up away. You can use it on your eyes as well. Love this cleanser.

2. When Hope Is Not Enough Firming Serum- You use five to six drops of this and massage into your face. The only thing bad I can say about this is that it does not smell good at all. However the smell goes away when you use...

3. Hope In A Jar Moisturizer- This covers the smell of the serum and is super thin and hydrating. I like moisturizers that aren't thick.. I don't want to feel like I am putting on foundation.. This one is just what I wanted.

4. Hope in a Tube Eye and Mouth Cream- I only use this around my eyes because I am scared it will break the area around my mouth out!

Final verdict: I don't know if it is on product specifically or just all of them combined, but my skin is much more smooth and bright. I can see a difference in the way my skin looks and I am extremely happy with this kit.

Ninety Dollars at Ulta...

always buys happiness!

Okay so bright and early this morning (10:00 UGH) we got up and got ready to meet with Bryan at the Biloxi Yacht Club about possibly having out reception there. We loved it, and we're  signing  papers next week! SWEET!

So after we went to lunch (Newks.. YUMO) I stopped at Ulta and would up getting the Make Up Optional Skin care kit pictured in one the posts down below. I also got the Mad As A Hatter OPI nail polish from the Alice in Wonderland line.

Review Time!
When I got home and had to try out the skin care kit and I really think I will like it.. After using it my face felt tingly and I wasn't sure if I liked it. When I went back in the bathroom to grab my nail polish though, I glanced in the mirror and was taken aback at how much brighter my skin looked already!
I was pretty impressed and I am going to continue to keep using this kit for now.

Nail Polish: This nail polish has every color in the world in it and pictures don't do it justice.  I feel like I am thirteen again because of how glittery it is. It is fun and different though and I like that.
This is what it looks like with two coats on:

I know, I know, you can't see that well but at least it gives you an idea. It has a lot of purple, green, and silver in it. Very Mardi Gras!

Anyway, off to take a nap before work!

Groundhog Day

So if you have seen my aggravation in the post below I was just going to update and say that I called QVC and they said it was a Groundhog Day special.

Who even celebrates groundhog day?

Philosophy Beauty

Wow I am aggravated! Okay so I have been searching for a kit to get my skin into wedding shape and tonight I decided on Philosophy Make Up Optional Kit. QVC was running a special of four easy payments online but I waited around twenty minutes and when I went back to purchase it, the four easy payment option was gone. That is so aggravating. I guess that I will try to wait a few days just to see if it comes back.

Here is a picture:

I am very excited about these products. I have tried the purity cleanser before and liked it a lot so I am hoping I will like all of the products.

Cross your fingers that it comes back on EZ pay!

My Flip!

Yay! Just as I was losing hope, my Flip video camera came in today! I am so excited! I need something to video so I can show you how well it works.. What to video? That is the question of the day!


Anywho, here is a picture of what is now finally in my care:

I wish I had something mind blowing to video. Unfortunately, I do not. 


That is all for now. I just cleaned my entire house and I think that a little online shopping is just what I need as a reward... :) I will see if that flies with my fiance and let you know.
