Q & A

How long have you been engaged? I've been engaged for 3 months.


When did you know he was the one? On our first big vacation we were rooftop at a hotel in NYC and he said to me "Could you imagine being like our parents, not finding the one they love until they're lives are set, they all ready have kids and careers. Thats why I'm happy we met so young because we have the love of our life now, we can have all of that together."


What is it like when you told your parents? My mom was upset because she herself was engaged at the time. My best friends were surprised and happy. I think they gave me the support I needed. Apparently, high school and college friends and acquaintances thought I did it because I had been pregnant, but that is obviously not true.

Is it hard to be engage while at college? Well, I am starting fresh at a new university in the Fall. At orientation I could see students and parents gaze drag down to my ring. I try not to think about what ever it is they are thinking. One girl asked me "Are you engaged?" and I answered with a smile "Yes." She nodded with a nasty smirk on her face and started texting away.. CONGRATULATIONS! should have been her response but I'll have to face the facts that most college students don't have that type of etiquette.

How was planning the Engagement Party? What's important is that it turned out great & everyone had a great time. I did most of the planning, my fiance did the financing! The hardest part was that alot of my friends stayed on campus and didn't come. I had a real "You find out who your friends are" moment.

The hard part might be staying in school, but the easy part is when I get home and get to forget about my day and spend the night on cloud nine with my One and Only. <3

Get Organized!

Cord Organizer
I use this on the edge of my night stand. I share the two outlets with my boyfriend we each have our own lap top charger and phone charger. So, this is how we've come to organize them, prevents tangles and there's no scrambling on the floor for the right charger!

Nailed It

Brighten Up!
try a really fun color like ESSIE- Turks and Caicos.
Its almost a perfect match to Tiffany blue and its one of my all time favorites.
Its a good investment because you can wear it this Spring and Summer. Usually in the summer I wear white or black bathing suits so its a cute way to add color.

If you’re like me then you are wearing all the nudes and pastels that you need to this spring.
TIP: Don’t over-do it. Roughen up your sweet Spring style with a color like Essie- Wicked. This has been my go to color this spring. Even though it is dark it has a nice shade of red to it and Ive been getting major compliments!

HAIR TIPS
Saturday a women came into my office with unbelievable hair when I asked her where she got it done, I couldn’t believe she said she did herself! :

Here was her SECRET………AQUAPHOR!
Many of us use (were suppose to anyway) a serum to give hair a healthy shine BUT it could leave hair looking greasy.  Aquaphor is a product made for dry or cracked skin heres what you do with it

• Take a TINY bit onto your index finger, about the size of a pea.
• At first it will have a thick consistency, rub it on the pads of your fingers until it warms up.
•  Apply it to your wet hair from eye level down to the ends. Avoiding roots and concentrating on the tips!
• Blow dry and WaLA a beautiful shine that everyone will notice!

Message me, Let me know if you try it!

Blow Drying Tips

GIVE YOUR ARM A BREAK
Blow drying tricks
* start with a heat protector - I use one from Tressemme
1. Use your less dominant hand to hold the blow dryer! This will let you work the round brush easily  down the shaft of your hair

2. Hold it at the nozzle- this gives you more control over the dryer (about two or three inches away)

3. Clipping your hair in 3 sections actually SAVES you time. You’ll waste more time and energy tossing your head upside down in attempt to blow it all at once.

4. steady the dryer at the root aiming downwards for two seconds before you run the brush down the shaft. ( this will help because the roots take the longest to dry.)
