Favorite Make Up...

We had a low key weekend.  Our favorite Friday afternoon activity is Kevin building a fire to burn boxes or whatever, Mills playing in the yard and me sitting in my chair watching it all.  It's just so nice to hang out. 

Then we usually clean up and get our guy Tony to pick us up.  This time we went to Cantina 1511 for some mexican.  Our fav!  We even treated ourselves to guac!

Then we walked to Cosmos and had a drink.  And acted like goofballs.  It was a much needed Kevin and I night out.  

Yesterday I came out to Vegas for a large real estate conference.  I'm looking forward to seeing folks I do business with all over the country, hanging with co-workers and meeting new people!

Okay onto makeup...

When I had my makeup trial for our wedding, I asked Kymm what lipstick I should buy so I'd have my own tube on wedding day.  (PS - highly recommend!)  She told me I'd be wearing this Mac Lipglass, Viva Glam VI.  I have really enjoyed using it.  It stays on and the shade is just right.

Another product I've loved for awhile now is this Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2.  I use one of those cotton rounds and wipe my face with it about once a week.  It makes sure your pores are super clean.  I love how my face feels right after - perfectly clean and crisp.  Then I apply Neutrogena face lotion then begin my (super low maintenance) makeup routine.

Catch Up Post

People keep asking me how married life is.  And to be honest - I don't know.  I never see Kevin and I'm never home.  Ahhhh.  Kevin does everything around the house - cooks, laundry, Mills, yard, dishes etc.  When I come home I just want to do nothing but that's actually the time I need to be doing my part and helping out.  I'm thankful he's understanding of my work.

This week I was in a few different cities.  In Chicago, I got to hang with my cousin Alex.

His Dad and my Mom are cousins.  Each of their Mom's were sisters.  It was fun catching up with him. He still thinks I'm like 17 years old because I've just always been so much younger than he and his brother!

While in Chicago, I scored some Twirl from TJ Maxx for $19.99.  It's my favorite summer perfume and I couldn't believe they had it there.

What do you guys have going on this weekend?

Mills' World


This is what's been going on in Mills' little world!

Mom do not make me get up to go out. 



This is my condo. 





Facetiming with his cousin, Fin. 

This is my couch. 

Watch dog.  Or looking for his girlfriend Lexie across the street.  

We love our Mills!

Wedding Pictures - The Girls and Fam!

My MOH Kelly gave me a sixpence to put in my shoe and a funny story about that penny.  Mom and I found it when we walked out of the dress shop after we ordered my dress in February 2012.  I kept that baby in my car until the morning of the wedding when I walked over to the Avenue (where Dave and Jenn were so kind to let me park during the wedding) super early and got it.

My friend Lindsay and I giggling about something.  My hair looks very streaky with highlights.  I've never had my hair highlighted, colored or any of that.  Just cut.  Ha!

The flower girls carried these little baskets.

My bouquet was unbelievable.  Lynette with The Bloom Room was AMAZING to work with.  Love her!  The ribbon wrapped around my bouquet came from my Mom's wedding gown.  Then she also gave me a hankerchief to use that was monogrammed with our names and wedding date.

The three flower girls!  Amelia, Maeve and Anna Kate.  Amelia is my cousin in the teal above little girl and Maeve is my cousin in the navy above little girl.




The bouquets that my bridesmaids carried were smaller versions of mine.  Peonies, hydrangeas, garden roses.  Love.

My parents and I.

Poor ole Pops.  He had a hard time that day giving me away.  But he loves Kevin so he's fine! :)

But everytime I saw Dad that day, I just kept getting teary!

My parents, brother and I.

With my cool SIL!  Wish Clay and Dad were smiling.  I guess this is the best it could be?

My bro and SIL.

The four cousins.  My how we've grown up!

The big ole bow on the back of my dress.  Emily tied it for me.  I loved this part of my dress.  It hung all of the way down with the covered buttons that lined the entire train.  



This is the picture that was used in the paper!
