Mascara and Lip Gloss Swap


I have recently discovered a whole new side of the blogging world...swaps!!  I signed up for my first one about a month ago.  There are all sorts of swaps - from crafts to beauty products to well, you get the idea.  The one I signed up for was a beauty swap - mascara and lip gloss!!  I'm addicted to beauty products so I HAD to do this.  :)  Last week, I received my goodies.  I was paired with Megan at wildflower at heart - turns out she actually went to college in Oklahoma - small world!  I had a lot of fun shopping for her and was so excited to get it in the mail that I forgot to send a cute little note telling her why I picked the items...fail!  She, however, did not forget to send a cute little note.  Here are my fun new beauty products...thanks Megan!!  Check out what I got her here.

I've seen this in the stores and have been wanting to try this - she read my mind!

I told her I wanted a good nude lip gloss and she sent me this amazing Burt's Bees gloss.  It may be my new favorite lip gloss :)

And a bonus - some eos hand lotion - perfect size for my purse.

Her cute little note - how sweet!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

A Batman Wedding and a $9 Wedding Dress

I was on this blog today and she was talking about how women spend so much money on wedding dresses.  It reminded me of my wedding and then I realized I've never blogged about it!!!  It's already been a year and half and I still haven't even scrapbooked it!!!  Where does the time go? Ok...to the dress.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  I wanted it to be short, satin, and a "pick-up" style dress.  I looked around at David's Bridal and other stores but I just couldn't see spending more than $100 on my dress.  (I've been married before and had the big, fancy wedding - and we see how well that worked out!!)  So this time, I wanted a small wedding and didn't want to spend much.  I walked into Ross one day looking for something else and decided to walk through the dresses to look for a dress for my sis, the MOH.  It was like the clouds opened up and the angels were singing and the sun beamed down on this dress.  You can't really tell fr...
