Wedding Season

June has been the month for weddings since I can remember and Summer is usually a destination wedding season. During wedding planning, brides choose color for their bridesmaid dresses, flowers, table settings and more. But they do not always take time to consider what color their own dress will be. Usually white or ivory has been the choices, but now they can just about choose whatever color they like and make a grand entrance that guests will be talking about forever. Bright and beautiful are the new breed of wedding gowns and if you love Red, there are several shades and designs in red for your selection. Designer Vera Wang has some awesome selections and she previewed them in her Spring 2013 Bridal collection here. She is not the only one, Maggie Sottero and several other designers now have color in their wedding dress designs.  White does not always compliment a bride's skin tone and now she has several choices to make her day non-traditional with dresses from Blush to Black. Just make sure that the color you chose for your gown fits into the color scheme of everything surrounding your entrance into marriagehood. Colorful bridal gowns have been worn for centuries in India, China, Japan & Africa due to the cultural influences. Some brides even have two ceremonies. These eye popping colors give today's bride the chance to incorporate their individuality into their special day. Your wedding is all about Yourself & Your Love, feel free to show it off. . .

Your Makeup Discontinued?

Your favorite makeup has been discontinued at your store and you cannot find a good substitute. Not to worry.  A New York based company called Three Custom Color Specialists can re-create nearly anything from concealer to blush to lipstick.  First, you go online to threecustom.com to see if they have your makeup archived. If your must have is not there, you will need to send them a dime size smear from your dwindling supply. They will produce a similar product for you at minimal cost that you may like even more.  I just saw a Turkish Delight Pomegranate - a one of kind lip sheer in a sultry crimson-pink on the site that I like.  Once you get that near perfect color you can't live without, order more than one.

Single Again.

Today on Facebook: Status change from 'In a relationship' to 'Single'.   Some of us girls like to change it up every year and some get divorced before they can make the final payment on the Wedding photos. But, to tell it all on social media?  You need to think this one through before you press send!  It is this kind of world where we women are strong, invincible, courageous, independent and not afraid of the big bad wolf and. . . "I'll just cut him off and change my status right damn now!"  I can't tell you how many times I hear people say that you should express your feelings to someone, instead of keeping things within and you will feel better.  As a matter of fact, many Therapists suggest a support group to lean on during these troubled times, and many find support on

Shop for Bras Online

Have you noticed how every bra fits you differently? You just might be wearing a different size each time, depending on the brand or style of bra you have on!  I have also noticed that the same size bra of the same brand in a different color fits me differently.
