Fun and Fashionable Bridal Party Dresses

Wedding planning can be so much fun yet so overwhelming at the same time. I have a relatively long engagement of 14 months and I have a lot of respect for people that can do it in under a year--I feel like I almost don't have enough time! Recently, I've been looking and finding a lot of great wedding ideas online. It's wonderful to sit on my couch and have all of these amazing ideas right at my fingertips.

This is why I decided to pick out the bridal party dresses online. We've already spent two different Saturdays at dozens of bridal stores. The girls got sick and tired of trying on dress after dress and the crowds were ridiculous. I came across this amazing site that has the perfect dresses for the wedding. I am very impressed with the prices, the variety of styles, materials and colors. The site is easy to navigate around and the girls all loved this gorgeous dress that I picked out. The size selection is wonderful, too!

How to Get Great Post-Workout Hair Without Washing it

I love to work-out during my lunch break. It's the perfect time, because I can't wake up early enough to squeeze my work-out in before work and after work I am go straight home to be with my family. When a work-out is done mid-day, it was always a challenge to get my hair somewhat back to normal (especially because I don't have time to shower on my break). I found a couple of tips to get hair back to normal post-workout without a shower. Here's how:
1. Spritz a little bit (maybe 5 pumps) of spray gel onto the outermost layer of the hair. Don't use a gel that's very concentrated!
2. Wrap a medium-sized section of hair around a round brush and roll it away from the scalp. Hold a hair dryer at the roots of the hair to add extra volume.
3. Leave the hair wrapped around the brush to cool. Repeat with other sections of hair on the sides of your head.
4. Hold the dryer about 6 inches from the ends of your hair to add volume back to the ends. This only takes about 20 seconds!

Custom Engagement Rings for Any Style

My guy has great taste (after all, he picked me!) and I love the things that he picks out. We have very similar taste and I often trust his judgement when he goes to the store, or picks things up for our home. There is one thing, however, that I am very picky on and believe that nobody would ever have the same taste as I do in and that is engagement rings.

I am very particular about jewelry in the first place, and this is especially true when it comes to an engagement ring because this is something that will be worn forever. This is an important piece of jewelry because of what it represents and the meaning that it has.

Thank goodness for Simone and Son! They specialize in creating custom engagement rings for every style. This means that you can have your dream wedding or engagement ring and that nobody in the world would have that same ring but you. This is so special and unique!

A Fun Nail Polish Tip

I love seeing all the amazing designs that people come up with to put on their nails and use as nail art. I am amazed at the creativity that people come up with! Being that I am not the most creative person and times and also have no hand-eye coordination, I had to find a way to get those cool designs on my nails without making a big mess or looking sloppy!

First, paint your nail the color or your choice! Make sure the nails are dry.

Find a shape design that you like on Google and scale it down on a Word Document. Then copy and paste the image so that you can use it more than one nail. Take a cotton ball and soak it really well with rubbing alcohol. Place the ink side down on the nail and squeeze the cotton ball so the alcohol drips onto the nail and saturates the paper. Hold the cotton ball firmly on the nail for ten seconds and slowly peel off the paper.

Beautiful Ornate Wedding Rings

There is really nothing that I don't love about wedding planning. It's so much fun to be able to pick everything out and it really builds up anticipation for the big day! It can be overwhelming, however, to pick out the dress, the flowers, a great hairstyle, how you want your make up done, the wedding colors, bridesmaid dresses, wedding jewelry, venue, music, food, and more. 

One of the most important components of a wedding is the wedding jewelry. I trust the one and only Simone and Son jewelry company for my jewelry needs. They have a fantastic selection of engagement rings and wedding rings. There are so many different styles available--no matter what your personal style is, you can find the perfect ring.

My favorite rings are the ornate wedding rings. These are breathtaking and beautiful. They are unique and have some amazing designs.
