I wrote an article for BabyCenter a couple weeks ago about dollar store makeup, and I want to know if any of you buy makeup there.  Beauty products?  I buy makeup from the dollar store on a regular basis, truly.  Nail polish, nail polish remover, eyeliner, and most recently, eyeshadow and liquid liner. I’m not saying you have to get all your beauty supplies on the cheap.  I’m as apt to spend $18 on a good eyeshadow as the next…

What’s in Your Purse Series: Week Twelve.

cute camera bag

Julie Dance, one of my favorite people ever, sent over her purse for this week’s What’s In Your Purse Series.  Enjoy. I had shoved a ton of stuff in my purse as I was running into work late one day. I was amazed at how much I could fit in there. I have a really bad habit of carrying my camera in my purse, instead of my camera bag. I always carry my Flip video camera in the interior pocket…

jean leggings.

I received some Jean Leggings, Jeggings, at my good friend Audrey McLelland and Vera Sweeney‘s Getting Gorgeous Party in NYC last weekend, and I’m in love with them.  But like many things, my feelings are better expressed in song. Just kidding, I wouldn’t do that to you, it’s just a Vlog post. What say you?  See any jeggings in your future?

whats in a purse

This week’s *What’s in your purse series* purse is from Natalie of The Bobby Pin.  Here’s what she’s got inside. This is my Monday-Friday bag. On weekends I usually grab a smaller purse but I almost always still have this bag in the car with me. It has everything I need. Before I describe everything — in my defense, I work in marketing by day, and by night I am an MBA student or a youth leader in my church,…

what to wear to a barbecue.

summer hats

A few weeks ago after the really fun 4th of July parade, I walked down the street to where Justin Hackworth was hosting his 30 Strangers open house.  I wanted to show my sister my 30 Strangers portrait, and I got to see Justin {which is always a bonus} and his wife Amy.  She’s my favorite.  Bubbly, adorable, kind, wonderful.  Anyway, she was wearing what was perhaps the most perfect summer outfit of all time. Isn’t Amy darling?  This outfit…

I have a bit of a thing for makeup, in case you haven’t noticed.  If my house were on fire and all the kids and family heirlooms made it out alright, the next thing I’d grab would be my Maybelline mascara.  You know the stuff in the pink tube with the green lid?  Yes, that one.  It’s less than $5 at the grocery store and I can get it off easily at night with makeup remover wipes.  I love everything…
