The week before wedding day I always send my bride a list of things they can do to acheive the perfect wedding day glow. Sometimes in the midst of life's great endeavors we forget the most important thing. That is to take care of oneself.

It's a glorious morning to wake to the sound of birds chirping and the steady hum of a lawn mower off in the distance. Spring is in full effect. I welcome the flowers, sunshine, and activities with wide open arms.
During my visit to Georgia I teamed up with two very talented photographers, Shauna Veasey Photography and Theary Meak Photography. The talent and unity made for a perfect day amongst creative minds. Not to mention the pizza and beer to follow for these southern belles.
Brought to you by three inspirational moms in a field off the beaten path;
There's a lot of ladies (and gentlemen) that have been extremely disappointed with Chanel's decision to discontinue their cosmetic line of foundation, Pro Lumiere. The remnants of this foundation flew off the shelves, and if you're lucky it can be found on Ebay and other beauty sites for just under $200. (Just what I've dreamed of) In desperation to find something comparable I've ventured out to Chanel's Perfection Lumiere as a mediocre substitute.
Is there a foundation similar to Chanel Pro Lumiere?
Low and behold over the weekend I realized Chanel Lift Lumiere had familiar colors to the Pro. After working with the product I am quite pleased with the dewy finish and full coverage this product offers. Normally, I would use 30 Cendre Intensity 2.5 in Pro and I took the same color in the Lift.
Recently I took a flight to Memphis, TN. I wasn't aware of the check bag weight limit. My suitcase was 7lbs over. Standing outside the Atlanta airport for curbside check-in didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
If you are a makeup junky or an artist, travel cases are pretty important.
Yesterday I spent a couple hours looking around for large makeup cases. I stumbled across a few cases, but I had something like a suitcase in mind for my makeup wardrobe. I currently have several travel cases which are great for transporting your personal collection of makeup for a day or two.
Shu Uemura
.
Expensive: If you don't want to dish the ish.. don't consider it. $225 for this little guy. I travel with this case if I have a business trip no longer than 2-3 days. The heavy duty case is made of steel and packs a lot of punch in protecting your goods
Bobbi Brown-
Similar size as the Shu Uemura makeup case but half the cost. The top has individual space for your brushes followed with much more organization. The bottom unzips and serves as a great option for your moisturizer. Most holiday seasons you can count on Bobbi to launch a trendy makeup case. The faux-leather and sleek appeal make for one happy customer. Kudos Bobbi!
The Mother Load
The line of cases are called Seya and they come in small to large. Prices will run anywhere between $140- 4225. The cheapest site I found was Overstock.com for $137 + free shipping. Several varieties ranging from croc print to aluminum. The trays come slightly different to meet your needs.
