e.l.f. makeup party.

by Allison on September 24, 2009 in Beauty, happy things, mommy escapes, Style, Travel, travel_sights · 10 comments



I hosted an e.l.f. makeup party for some of my nearest and dearest over the weekend. Oh, the good times we had. Mix together some cupcakes from Cupcake Chic {to die for}, flavored sparkling water {oh my!}, strawberries, a whole lot of makeup, & some of my best friends. Good, good times.

I broke it up into several stations: eyes, lips, face {get it, get it?}, nails, and eyebrows. It’s imperative to have an eyebrow station if you’re doing makeup; you don’t want to look like the missing link when you’re getting hot for the night.

Look at these gorgeous women. Some before & after shots for your viewing pleasure:


I have really hot family and friends. It’s a fact.


Thank you e.l.f., for the makeup; I don’t think these girls will need any more for the rest of the year. And to Melissa for styling the event, props. Cupcake Chic? My hips would like a word.

socialLuxe lounge venue update.

by Allison on July 21, 2009 in happy things, mommy escapes, travel_sights


For those of you who aren’t going to BlogHer, just close your eyes and skip to the next post. I apologize in advance for the Public Service Announcement.

However, if you are attending BlogHer and you were planning to come to the SocialLuxe Lounge but you didn’t get on the guest list in time? Guess what? We moved to a bigger space so more of you can come! So many people wanted in for the hottest party of the year that we had to find a new spot. Seriously. As of rightnow the SocialLuxe Lounge 2009 will be held in the……wait for it…..



Just go and RSVP for SocialLuxe! Can’t wait to see you {and 10 of your closest friends} there!

I’ve had a button on my sidebar for a little while, flashing about the Social Luxe Lounge at BlogHer. What is it you say? A lounge for Social Luxes? That would be you. If you’re headed to BlogHer this summer in Chicago, you don’t want to miss this party. We’re doing a little bit of primping, a lot of pampering, and a whole lot of partying & you need to come and join us! Hurry up and R.S.V.P. while there’s still room to hold you, and don’t forget to go vote for your favorite blog to win a super sweet V.I.P. Blogluxe Award.

cookie magazine.

by Allison June 2, 2009happy things

I’m loving my latest issue of Cookie Magazine. In fact, I love every issue of Cookie. It’s the perfect mixture of practical parenting advice, cool gear, and hip ideas. I don’t feel like a fuddy duddy reading it, more like a hipster who happens to be a parent. A great idea to keep the mounds [...]

sunny southern california.

by Allison April 7, 2009happy things

I’m on vacation right now with my family in Southern California. It’s sunny here. Warm too. I was beginning to wonder if sunshine was just a figment of my imagination but as it turns out, no, it’s real enough, you just have to go pretty far south to find it. The whole family is going [...]

fit tip thursday.

by Allison March 19, 2009mommy escapes

My fit tip today goes thussly: Go to your local oral surgeon and ask to have this procedure done. If you so choose, you may partake of the offered “laughing gas”. While you’re inhaling said “laughing gas”, listen to this playlist as it somehow enhances the experience. I can assure you that under these conditions, [...]

As you read this I am likely flying right over Arizona on my way to Houston to attend Mom 2.0 Summit. I’m probably ordering a diet coke, or a diet dr. pepper if I get really fancy, hold the ice. I hope I’ll be reading the most current People Magazine because, frankly, I haven’t had [...]
