I was not expecting to stumble upon a treasure trove of advice and support. I knew I had the coolest blogging buddies in the world, but I still wasn't expecting so much information. You guys are AWESOME!! Basically, it looks like I need to lay off the junk food as much as I can, drink a lot of water, eat a lot of fruit, and exercise at least 30 minutes a day on average.
I am going to be contacting a few of you through e-mail for more tips. I am really excited about starting this little journey. ;)
To boost my self confidence and give me some beauty lessons, Kerrie came over Saturday night and gave me a spring makeover. It was an unexpected surprise!
I am totally stealing these photos she put on her facebook page, so I hope she doesn't mind. Hahaha! (Thanks, Kerrie).
It was a lovely night. In addition to the makeover, we watched a Woody Allen movie, ate pizza, drank wine, and talked about boys.
This is a photo of me before the makeover:
and....
This is me after the makeover.
(A closeup of Kerrie's artistry)
What do you think?? I was pretty pleased with the result. Kerrie's makeup always looks so flawless and she always looks so gorgeous, so I knew I was in good hands.
The artist, herself.
Rian gave his seal of approval.
And of course, what Kerrie post would be complete without a bff photo?!
I hope all of you had a great weekend! xoxo
Awww, you look so gorgeous! LOVE the makeup and the dress! xoxo

I've been so shamefully behind on my blog reading, that I don't know what's going on anymore! It's a relief that I caught up a bit on your blog because now I can wish you all the goodwill I can! I don't want to say luck, since luck is something you give someone when they need it. :)

Love the summery look and the best part of course is the attitude that seems to be shining through. If we can be of any help, let us know!
ReplyDeleteI love this makeover. You look fab....
ReplyDeleteHere's another tip: WHEAT GRASS.
ReplyDeleteI can't *stand* drinking it, so I recommend going to a health food store and seeing if they have all-natural wheat grass tablets. I take about 5 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon...since starting I've been much less likely to snack during the afternoon. It's the fiber and all the other magical stuff in it...
I so love the makeover!!! You look amazing.!! And I hope you lose weight I too am hoping to lose the unnecessary fat in 2 months. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute and that sounds like my kind of girls night :) Pizza, wine, makeup, boy talk and Woody Allen!!!! Wowser :D xoxo

You look absolutely beautiful! That dress looks lovely on you, and your makeup is fab. And as a bonus, I've always found that straightening my hair and pulling it half-back or leaving it down makes my face look slimmer -- always a plus :)

Just do it for YOU.
ReplyDeleteNot for a man, not so you look like a model, not so you can fit into a certain garment.
Do it for YOU. Be patient.
I'm struggling with it, too-there is only one way to win this battle. Eat less and exercise more. Don't take pills or join fad diets.
