I survived back to back wedding weekends

It's Monday!  Who is excited? Not me. Just being honest. Let me know when it's Friday at 5 p.m.

I had a semi-uneventful weekend in comparison to Vegas the weekend before.  Friday night I perused the Internets (aka did some light Facebook stalking) and gave myself my favorite mud mask.  I got a text from my friend telling me to remove this from Facebook.  Aint no shame in my game girl.

Saturday I sold a dress and a few necklaces to Platos Closet.  I made $11 bones and some change, which I immediately blew on Starbucks and Jamba Juice.  I felt a bit scummy doing this, but whatevs.  That's a free breakfast and lunch and I'll take it.

I gave all my make-up brushes a nice bath before I had to start getting ready for my friend Caroline's wedding that evening. Best way to clean brushes is baby shampoo. I've talked about that before here.

These are the 2 love birds who tied the knot.  Meet my college friend, Caroline and her boo, Taylor.
Here she is walking out with her Dad. I love how happy she looks!

And some pictures from the evening:

[FYI - My dress is from H&M and it is a very pale pink with a sheer overlay.]
That's Courtney and I covered in red wine.  I shouldn't be allowed around anyone in light colors when red wine is anywhere in my vicinity.   In my defense, this was all Courtney's fault.  I swear. 

After a late Saturday night, I spent almost my entire Sunday doing this:
Could my nephew be any cuter?  The answer is no. 

Last but certainly not least, I'm also over at This Won't Hurt a Bit today guest posting as part of Renee's new Monday series called The Music Files.  Go check it out to see what my favorite song is and why!

  1. as long as you didn't fall then it's okay to spill wine on your dress.

  5. You looked great at the wedding. Question: was your dress white? And if so, is that still considered a faux pas to wear white to a wedding? No judgement, just wondering :)

  11. I usually use the brush cleaner from Sephora. Does baby shampoo really work better? I may have to check that out.

    Also wondering like the previous commenters on wearing white to a wedding. I never would have noticed if someone wore white to mine, but I know some people get all up in arms about it. *totally not judging.. just curious*

  16. I need to try the baby shampoo trick-- so much cheaper than paying the big bucks for brush shampoo from Sephora. Looks like you had a fun weekend!
