Goodness...
Just wanted to let everyone know we had an amazing time dress shopping! I was so disappointed when they told me the dress I wanted to try on again and show everyone "was not in the show," even though another bride saw it at the expo from that store...ugh.
*In short-found a dress, shop mismeasured, stop was put on order, they pushed it through, and now I have to fight about it. Not cool bridal store, not cool at all.*
Well I found a great dress that was me. I had to have it measured hollow to hem (I'm short). I was not going to get it that day because I still wanted to show my friends the other dress but the lady insisted we see what size I would be. Sooooo many things went wrong after this point. The seamstress measured me without the slip on which correlates to the dress being even shorter after it is actually over a slip! Ahhh! After I realized this I freaked out, screamed, swore, and cried. Who does this to a bride?!?! It just continued to build up after the store took their time calling me back. The manager did say she was going to stop my order until I can be remeasued (I live 2.5 hrs away so this can't be anytime soon as in the next month). Ah, fret not! I checked my credit card and it had the charge from the shop on it! They put the charge for the dress through and I have not been back to be remeasured yet! Why am I going to pay for something the shop mistakenly did while measuring? If this happenend the very first time I was measured I am scared as to what will happen.

Gowns!
I went to a salon near us, well an hour away, to see a truck show for Maggie Sottero & Midgley. I tried on 8 gowns, found 3 I liked and there was a WOW dress that I just could not believe it was real! I went home and was called by my consultant and was told "If you want this dress you need to order it now. Who really knows if the designer is actually going to make it." Seriously? I was a little blindsided by her because she assured me in the store that what I see is what is coming out for 2013. She did offer me a $250 discount if I went back and decided to order it.
I then checked around and found a salon in Greensburg, PA that is having the SAME truck show. Amazing! Who would have thought I could try on the same dress twice when it is supposed to travel all around the US, this must be a sign. I enrolled the help of my sister and future mother-in-law before, now I am going to take some of my ladies. They would tell me the truth, even though my sister was kind to point out I have no arse and am to skinny.... ok, I added the last part to it...she did say I should ask for boobs for Christmas. Nothing but truth from my family! (:
So in Feb. B, my friend Meg, and I are making the trip so they can see the gown on me in person. One of the hardest things I am running into is my friends are scattered and I mean SCATTERED across the US. Laken is in Wyoming, B is in Ohio, Megan is in Ohio/Erie area, Bri is in Washpa(ok that's close) and Meg is close too. Even though everyone is literally everywhere, we are always able to connect at some point.

Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls-Book~R/GA~
Naughty is the new Nice..

Tired of seeing the many “nice girls” in his life constantly overlooked, James, a celebrity makeup artist, style guru and television personality, offers a lively and entertaining read full of actionable tips and tricks, showing you how to get whom and what you want.Those open the book will learn how to look classy, not trashy, trading the prim, proper uniform of “safe” clothing, makeup and hair for something sexier and more inviting, but still situation-appropriate. “You would be surprised how many women don’t know how to use clothes and makeup to market themselves in various social or professional settings,” says James. “‘Nice’ girls are invisible, and ‘trashy’ ones go over the top. ‘Naughty’ is the happy medium that pushes the envelope without crossing the line.”Thus, James challenges the traditional connotations of the word “naughty” and redefines it as a spirit that can change both image and self-perception for the better. In chapters that range from “Naughty at Work” to “Naughty First Date” to “Naughty Traveler” and “Yummy Mommy,” the author shows readers how to dress outside the box and re-vamp their beauty regimens to add sizzle to their style for all seasons and occasions.Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls is loaded with makeup and fashion advice to empower a Nice Girl to transform herself into a spicy but classy woman in every situation. So, go ahead and channel your inner naughty. Instead of fading into the background, become a star in your own life!

Essential Oils from Aura Cacia
Essential Oils from Aura Cacia
Aura Cacia makes aromatherapy accessible with innovative ready-to-use products that let even beginners realize the full benefits of our 100 percent pure essential oils in a variety of ways that can easily be a part of any lifestyle.
We received two sprays and an essential oil.
Chil Pill- 2 oz/$7.99 mist that is in a metal spray container. it states it helps you simmer down and creates harmony. It contains lavender, citrus, and patchouli. I would really need this when I drive in Pittsburgh ... One of our friends, MarkieT gave B and I an ingenious piece of advice when we were seniors in HS: Always pull in front of fancy, expensive cars because they will let you in. It works! This would also be a great present for someone who is studying for finals!
Pep Talk- I really wish I had this when I was teaching and giving the PSSA tests! They are the all important state standardized tests. This spray is a spicy cardamom, invigorating peppermint and energizing citrus. Wow, this would be the a push the bride and groom need on their wedding day! What is cardamom? This plant is known as an Indian Spice Plant. The ancient Egyptians chewed cardamom seeds as a tooth cleaner; the Greeks and Romans used it as a perfume - Source.
Essential Oil- Organic Lavender, .25 ounces/$14.65. So this smells exactly as it is described, like Lavender. It is the most popular oi in Aromatherepy because it is provides an unmatched array of attributes—calming, relaxing, refreshing, toning and cleansing.
I wish they would have sent the Natural Bay Care oils! They have one called Calming Baby Oil that is non-greasy organic jojoba and sunflower oils gently deliver the relaxing benefits of lavender, chamomile and marjoram. Yum! $8.99/4oz.
Calming Nursery Blend seems great too. Chamomile’s quiet nature, ylang ylang’s steadying influence, marjoram’s warm, sleepy quality, and lavender’s renowned, relaxing aroma gently coax your baby to calm down and drift off. Remember those sleepless nights and days? Wonder if this wold have helped?
Be sure to check out their website for more information!
