Teal Squeal

I found this great turquoisey, tealish colored nail polish on sale at my local Target in the clearance section for $5.

This color is so refreshing and cute! But it takes 3 coats and a little long to dry (compared to the UO nail polishes).  I still like it just because the color is so summery. :)

Soothing Blue 2

It's been awhile since my last blog! I have been S W A M P E D! @ work...

I really need a vacation... somewhere serene and near water, please.

On to the meat of the post! A new swatch of nail polish: Urban Outfitters - Blue 2 (I left my nails bare the last 1.5 weeks because I broke a nail from not using a clear coat base and needed to grow it back to a normal looking shape.)

This definitely needs at least 3 coats to get the bottle color!  I only did 3 in these pictures, but I'm sure a 4th coat would make it really solid...if you have the time to let them dry between coats.  Drying time is pretty fast though. It's cute & creamy looking, and not too powdery or pastel-ish... perfect for summer!

Lomo 2

Wow! I found a really cool collection of lomography online...

Lemonade showers

I've been going through old pictures and ran across pictures I snapped at my best friend's bridal shower... memories! June 1st, 2006. Sorry, this post will be picture heavy!

The theme? Pink Lemonade!
Location: Laguna Beach, CA (we had to get up early and camp out to hold the space and set up starting at 6 a.m.!)

Do it yourself bridal shower favors... Lemon scented bath salt, custom ordered jars, raffia, bath salt scoopers, custom printed jar labels assembled by us.

Pink leis, lemonade, and a gorgeous view!

The other table we reserved nearer to the beach path.

It was a HOT & sunny day! Bride & I got sunburned--even after reapplying several times!

Frozen strawberries in the lemonades!

Prepping fresh yummies!


View from the path going down to the beach & our site.

We didn't have plates for the bruschetta we made, so we used Victoria's Secret boxes!

Most delicious cake!

Won't post the embarrassing lingerie gift photos we made her open, especially with her mother-in-law standing behind her making jokes.

The girls!

Scrapbooking time... reminds me that I need to finish that darn thing!!

End of the party... speaking from our hearts to give advice, love, and encouragement with a release of a balloon from each of us attending.
