Neckin'

No, not that kind of neckin'! My necklace and earrings came in the mail yesterday. The lovely Amy Hatch (of Ruby Rose jewelry) created the necklace just for little ol' me! I love it. It is just the right amount of color and delicacy. I surprised myself by wanting gold jewelry, but I think it looks better with the red. Man, do I love Etsy.

It is even prettier in real life.

Also, I read that you are not supposed to wear mineral makeup for weddings/photo shoots because it makes you look white (and greasy??) when the flash bounces off all of those little mineralites. What am I to do?! I just discovered an even perfecter shade of Everyday Minerals for me, Ivory. I was on the verge of purchasing...but now what? I guess I can still get that for normal use. Anyone have any foundation recommendations for me? I did use Lancome Photogenique for a while and loved it. I think they are discontinuing it so I had better make up my mind fast!

I have made some more flowers, but that is really all on the crafting front. Our colors are dark red and light blue and a good shade of light blue flowers (not too dark, not too purple) is super duper hard to find. I might just make some silk rosettes and stick them in with the red roses. It will be sure to match! I have put together 4 so far and they are looking good. I'll take pix when I have a few more to add to the bouquet.

I am sorry, but I do not believe that about Everyday Minerals. For one, you take your photo quite often and you look just fine. For another, the lighting for the TV ads for Bare Minerals is quite bright and they women look fine. Thirdly, I would go to the Everyday Minerals website, contact them and ask them if this is true, as I wear EM and have never had this problem. So there.........

I hope you are right, Patsijean!! :D

We get an "engagement session" with our photo package, so I should be able to test it out then without losing too much if things go wrong...

Love those...they'll be fun with the neckline on that dress.
