Wedding Wednesday: Seasonal Flowers SPRING

Picking wedding flowers in season can save you a bunch of money. Sure today you can have flowers mailed to you from the other side of the world, you’ll just be paying a premium for that.

Personally I am basing my wedding date on when the flowers I want will be in season. I have put together a guide to help you know when certain flowers are in season. It has helped me tremendously maybe it will help you too! I will separate each post by season.

The future Mrs. Chuck Bass

Eeeeps sorry doll faces! It seems as though breakfast didn't post!

First off don't forget about the fabulous Zevia giveaway!! Enter Enter Enter!!!

Okay who watched Gossip Girl last night? This whole drug thing with Jenny cannot last much longer can it? Really it's kind of completely pointless! Blair and Chuck are so hot together, and what's with making Dan THAT desperate? <3 the show though, and SERIOUSLY need DVR. Maybe if I had income too we'd get it LOL.

For breakfast this morning I had a bowl of Captain Crunch NumYummy!


Captain Crunch: 3 pts.

So I SERIOUSLY need to get in shape for the wedding! So I am off to do some power shopping, and maybe hit the hills. I need to lose like 10 million pounds... good luck right.. haha


Have a fabulous day bellas!

How-To Tuesday: Get Organized

As you may have noticed I have struggled with downsizing. Maybe it’s not so much downsizing but the fact that storage area is definitely lacking. I am sure some of you can relate.

I am a very organized person, and I thought that I would share some of my organizational tips with you.

Towels
We have a shelf in the bathroom where I can stack towels up no problem, but it doesn’t leave me much room for anything else. There was this huge space under the shelves and I decided I should utilize it. So instead of stacking our towels, I roll them and put them in a basket. Rolling the towels takes up less space, and it looks fabulous as well.

Sheets

In college watching Martha Stewart one day she taught me a fabulous way to store my sheets! Inside one of the pillowcases from the bed set. I fold the fitted and flat sheets, and pillowcases except for one. That one is used to put all the sheets and the other pillowcases inside. Then I stack all the pillows on top of each other and tie a ribbon around them and create a bow. It makes making beds so much easier around here!
(this picture gives you the idea of what I do….I forgot to take a picture before I made up the air mattresses…sorry)

Baskets

I have baskets in the bathroom, and bedroom…really all over that are filled with items. For instance you can find all of our bandages and first aid stuff in one basket. I find that it makes my life a whole lot easier.

MagnaPods
Is your medicine cabinet a complete disaster area? Mine can be, but MagnaPods helped me restore organization to my medicine cabinet. MagnaPods are plastic containers that magnetically adhere to the inside of a medicine cabinet door. Which allows me to store some of my everyday makeup products right there! Plus they have fabulous toothbrush holders. Finally my toothbrush will never come in contact with any one else’s again! The boy informed me that my bobby pins would definitely be going into a MagnaPod compartment. I guess he is sick of finding them all over. Get your very own MagnaPods here!



How do you organize?

Too many shows on Mondays

'Evening Beauties!

Well I did it...finally! I cleared a spot for ONE bed in the guest bedroom! What a job that was! It is impossible for me to make room for two beds though. I am very excited for Gossip Girl returning tonight! Monday night TV is INSANE, and I seriously think we need to consider getting DVR here. The Boy watches Chuck, Nerds and Two and a Half. I watch One Tree Hill (when it's on), Gossip Girl, Nerds and Two and a Half. Which nerds and two and a half is out tonight since GG is on. Then add in Dancing with the Stars! Oh my good lord we need DVR NOW!


The next giveaway started today it's Zevia all natural diet pop! Don't forget to enter it!

Since the people across the hall are cooking lord only knows I decided to make some brownies today, and at least make my place smell delish. However I did not win the war.










For dinner I made shredded chicken bbq sandwiches. I boiled some chicken first and then shredded it.


I made some homemade bbq sauce

Makeup Monday: The Brush Guard

A good quality makeup brush isn’t cheap. In fact I own some that are over $60! Proper tools are needed in order to create an accurate look. I don’t want to spend hours putting my makeup on for bristles to fall all over, or the brush to not work like it should. So I always choose to splurge when it comes to my brushes.
(note these are not my brushes)

How do you store your brushes?

Mine are either in this shiny clutch


Or in a beauty bag


To my dismay the bristles are getting destroyed, and my brushes are wrecking havoc on each other. It makes me less then thrilled to think a brush cost me $60 and now it’s makeup road kill.

I recently came across the most fabulous thing ever!!! Okay so maybe it’s not the MOST fabulous thing ever….but it’s up there!


It’s called The Brush Guard, and it’s saving my brushes lives! The Brush Guard is a stretchable, breathable tube, which protects makeup brushes!


The Brush Guard isn’t just for keeping my brushes fabulous while they are stored, but it also works perfect when they’re drying after being cleaned, and great for taking on trips. This product is my make up brush savior! Plus it’s saving me a whole lot of cash too!


When you let your brushes dry laying down, the moisture will eventually spoil the glue and make the handle swell. The Brush Guard allows you to dry your brushes bristles down so gravity pulls moisture away. Sheer Brilliance!






Save your makeup brushes by visiting The Brush Guard website! Your brushes will love you for it!
