Some Unfinished Bizznazz: LA Slim Wrap Review

Remember this?

I promised to share all the details of my LA Slim Wrap experience, and whether getting all mummified really helps you shed some pounds and as usual..
I got distracted and forgot to post about it. In my defense - I got married 3 days later!

Anywhoo. 

I'm finally recapping the most awesome and awkward thing I've ever done in the beauty department.


But over here! Head on over to 
Lindsey to hear the rest!

Honeymoon: Part Dos

Top of the mornin'

Hope you had a great Father's Day, I would definitely say I am exhausted from driving all over TEXAS this weekend, but I'll get right to it!

****************************************************************************

So basically I die when I look at our pictures..and wonder when we will take our next vacation.

And then quickly realize we are buying a house and that won't be happening for some time. BOO.

But anyways.

Our resort looked like this.

 We would log in a few hours at the beach every day and it looked like this:





 

not too shabby right?



[I tried to photoshop my tummy..but realized I have no idea what I am doing.. I should prob just work out]

After laying around staring at the sun, I started getting reeeeal stir crazy. and if you know me, you know I can never sit still. And Matt and I decided, lets do some thangs! Well really, I decided to do some things, he groaned, and then would tell me he was glad I made him after each activity.

First up: Kayaking. The resort had them to rent for frizzle:




Paddling away!



the water was freakin a-maz-ing.



We Snorkeled. Alot.





We rode some horsies..which was HILARIOUS. I couldn't even do it on my own, I was that much of a wuss. I was totally that girl that had to be hooked up to the guide. Apparently I'm not the horse whisperer that I always thought I would be.



we got really crazy tan lines:



We ate so so so much delicious food. I'm not exaggerating.. DELISH....but really, I saw a few preggo girls on the resort... and I couldn't help but make a mental note that I'd totally be down to come here carrying a mini-me. Then I actually heard of this thing called a 'babymoon' ..where you essentially take a vacay before the bambino comes, and I'd for sure rec this place for this exact purpose. It was mega quiet, the food was to die for, and there obviously was plenty of it. I think the staff makes a special mission to send their guests home 7 lbs heavier. No freaking joke. 7 lbs. 7 pounds!!
























We also saw a really cool Michael Jackson Tribute show:
I mean I think this guy even got a nose job like MJ's..





And we Karoaked. But I only have video. And its horrendous with a capital H. Just know that it involved B. Spears. And a song she sang a long time ago with the word 'sometime' in it.

Matt told me it was good, "babe you were great! you really had an attitude up there"
 But I found out the next morning that he lied. He really, really lied. lol.

and thats about all I will tell you!

So that's all I have for now. Pshh that was actually a lot, I hope you made it down this far. Tata loves!
Tomorrow I'll be guest posting for the lovely Mrs. Peters. So make sure to stop by manana!

and later this week: Xel-Ha Water Park Review


and some video of the cutest dolphins ever!



I just wanna go back!! *pouts and gets back to reality*

Being a Link-up Lush! Friday Faves + The Nail Files

Hola mi Amigas! I had a honeymoon: part dos post (you can read the first one here) ready to roll but I decided to be a little bit of a link-up whore so I’ll get right to it. Fridays have the snazziest link-ups and I couldn’t miss out!

So my first link-up is Friday Faves! Le Bargain Blonde is one of my fave bloggers and who doesn’t like a good 5 things post??


Meet my niece:
is she the cutest???

Well, this weekend I am hittin’ the road and headed to my old stomping grounds, Austin, TX to celebrate her 4th birthday. She’s pretty much my 2nd favorite person on the whole planet, after Matt of course.

Second up- I am getting my haircut while I am in Austin. Like Lindsey says, “there are two things you don’t ever change, your hair stylist, and gyno.” TRUTH. I’ve been sporting light socket hair for awhile since I moved away from Austin, and getting in appointment with Melinda makes me so, so relieved! Gotta tame this fro!
Third: I get to bust out my summer makeup:
[Nars blush in Torrid, and Makeup Forever eyeliner (which I SWEAR by - in 20L – a teal / green ) that just makes your eyes pop in the summer time]


Fourth – and I haven’t had a chance to talk about this too much – but my girl Brit Brit has been all over the news promoting her new X factor gig. I don’t know when Xfactor will start airing – but I will be glued to the tube for every episode. Doesn't she look gorg??!


And Last but not least – I was SO giddy to get an EZ tag. Which – if you don’t live in Houston translates to – I get to ride in the fast lane and dodge traffic. I was so excited about this, I was questioning my sanity.


 The simples pleasures in life people, the simple pleasures in life.

The Nail Files

And for the nail files with Tara.. my new fave nude polish – “peachy keen” by Sally Hansen. Lindsey introduced me to this color – and its just a great nude with a peach sheen to it. It’s also a little darker than most nudes I’ve tried, and it goes great with just one coat for the “fresh, effortless” look or two coats for the all-out sophisticated look.

I'm out! Have a good weekend lovies!
