I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Pinterest!!

PM me your email. I need that to invite you. I tried to request an Invite, never worked, much faster when someone sends you an invite

You can use it to basically pin all your ideas. I heart it.

Thanks about the stretching ideas. I usually like to sit on a chair with my knees tucked under my buttocks. I've done it for years because it's so comfy. I have a feeling that's part of the culprit too.. shake head
I had to re-read this...you mean your feet tucked under your booty??? Because if you are tuck your knees under your booty...we have A LOT more to talk about. #itstooearly

I am thinking that some new bra styles/colors should be released soon, but I do not keep track of that (surprising) because I do not usually buy bras at retail pricing. I am going to wait closer to the end date.
I think they just released it for spring, but very ho-hum for me. It seems like neons are in, I don't like neons. I have until end of May for bra perks, so I think I will just wait, maybe they will release some nice ones for summer.

They just released "it"??? What is it? I think I need to step away from the computer. I am out of it this morning.

About the knees, that's probably why. How lame. Le Sigh. I need to stop sitting like that!

I read on yelp that someone said to book 6 months in advance, but yours is in the fall? So that's over 6 months?! Faint I guess more pressure to book the right date, or ASAP. What about the regular artists? Eek! At least now I have a good reason to put pressure on DBF, or push the wedding back a year laugh out loud
apparently, if you are planning on a fall wedding, book a year in advance! i am still holding out hope that the last spot for a senior artist that is pending will not go through so i can take it! Pray but sheesh, it's still over 6 months out for me right now... shake head just plan well in advance and you'll be fine. you still have lots of time! Smilie i'm upset bc one of my other options costs just as much as kelly - if i'm paying that much (and boy does she come at a premium!) i want the MUA i want! Annoyed i think i will visit her studio and see if they can work something out - it's actually really close to me and not far from the venue so i could technically go to her studio and get it done. (i'm getting desperate! haha)

i've been sitting on one of those bouncy exercise/yoga balls at work the past week. i think it's been better for everything - no more sitting with my legs tucked under me, and no more slouching (or, less slouching). i think i am going to get one of those ball chairs, and get reimbursed for it.

Ugh! that's nuts, it just keeps getting crazier. I hope it turns out well, though. And I must comment about your creative skill - amazing!

I forget that you have a life outside the bubble that I know you from Coverlaugh Thanks for the compliment- I love creative stuff but it gets me into trouble... becomes a time-consuming obsession for perfection. Crazy

Fair warning on the MUA thing- you could get a bad result if you do end up getting "squeezed in". I got the primo people in Santa Barbara, but was squeezed in. It was a bad experience for a few reasons. They were rushed, it felt rushed too and that pissed me off b/c I think my hair and MU was $500?! They didn't like being there and they didn't contribute to the mood at all, unlike what I had seen in getting ready pics from other brides where they're all laughing, having a good time. The up-do was much tighter than what she had done the night before- I was scared to ask for it to be loosened up... and for good reason apparently- she threatened to charge me $150 for a re-do. I said fine, but that all I wanted was what she had done the night before in the trial run. Luckily my MOH caught the cue and chimed in agreeing with me- so they didn't charge me. They left, I put the dress on and then when it came time for the veil- none of us could get it in. We called for some help (they were in the hotel doing other brides) and they didn't respond until 15 minutes before ceremony time. The owner of the business did me, her assistant did my B-maids. Long drawn out explanation just to say that getting what you want, may end up not being what you want. The 'do was beautiful, but if I saw that b* on the street, I'd punch her in the face. Wink2

I don't know if Kelly Zhang [kellyzhang.com]is booked and/or if you've looked at her. My friend used her and I'm planning on using her and omg, it looks like she does a wonderful job for a decent price. She's probably booked, but maybe not one of her regular artists. I like the fact that they work with Asian features and she's like right there in your hood. The before and after pictures are crazy! Can't believe some are the same people!! But I've read some reviews and it seems like she works with what you want, versus some, that make you into what they think you should look like vomit


Hm..I hope I get grandfathered in too! But I don't use Express too much...Pray


I have seen the kabuki style brush in a different set [walmart.com] at the store. Yes, it looks tiny. I just wonder how people can get a good grip on the brush while using it. Or maybe I don't know how to use it. I'm still looking for another set to use my last coupon on!

What bra did you get in store? My store barely has anything and I'm not feeling this season's styles...I wish they'd have some nice stuff!
Instore I got the Unforgettable push-up in pink leopard embellished..very pretty, soft colors.

I am always afraid of losing things if I hold on to them too long. LMAO

omg, that's awful porda!! Comfort i'm glad you got what you wanted in the end, but it does sound awful that they not only charged the full price, but were rushing you! i'm feeling slightly better now, knowing there are at least a couple of MUA's that are free on my day. they're not the "best" but that means they are cheaper too, and just means that they are starting out. i'll have to see what my moh thinks of these available ones. what i hate the most now is how some people are just not responding to my inquiries! and also, 1 needed the # of ppl in my party before responding about availability. i find that suspect - as if they're trying to get the most $$ out of the day or something. shake head
