Beauty Mavens does PROM

Doing hair and makeup for prom girls is SO MUCH FUN! I wish prom happened every day. Seriously. Also, Beauty Mavens attended their first ever wedding expo this Sunday and it went amazing! It was so much fun and we gave away lip balm with our logo--does it really get any better than that? Pictures to come--our table looked fab (if I can say that).

I'm Alive | Shopping Madness

Helloooo!!! Long time no talk! Life has been cra-hiz-nuts over here. I'm not accepting sponsors for the meantime, but I'll still be here chatting away randomly throughout the week. Since we last "spoke," Beauty Mavens has had a bridal consultation, two proms, and a big wedding! It has been nonstop and so much fun. I have LOTS of photos to post! Our big bridal expo in Boston is in just about a week!! There has been lots of and lots of preparation for that which is so time consuming, but so ridiculously fun at the same time.

Oh, and guess what. I had the happiest mail day of all time this weekend because my MAC Pro card came, which means....drum roll please....I get 40% off at MAC now! The skies have parted, the sun is shining down, and angels are serenading me. That's how it feels. Do you know the fun I am going to have with that discount? If my life wasn't complete before, it sure as heck is now.

You know what else would make my life complete?

THESE SHOES. They're the Jacey sandals from ShoeDazzle.

These are so fun. I would wear them every day. (You can find them here.)

I used to have a subscription to ShoeDazzle, but somewhere along the way I ended up canceling it. These shoes are sucking me back in. I love how summery they are. They make me yearn for 90 degree weather (which we're getting tomorrow!!)

I'm off to get some more work done, but I'll be back tomorrow with a Mia Mariu review and giveaway, as well as lots of makeup photos in the next couple of days!

Thanks to ShoeDazzle for sponsoring today's post.

Friday's Letters: Houses, Nautical, Nephew

I really love that this link up exists (it's one of my favorites) because when I don't now what to post on a Friday (it's a hard day to get my brain to work well) it gives me ideas.

Dear Readers,
I haven't been able to think of good posts for a couple of days now. I am slightly overwhelmed with work right now. Also, we've started booking events over at Beauty Mavens! We're beyond excited, and we're also going to have a table at a bridal expo this summer in Boston! Cannot. Wait.

Dear Houses,
You're tough to shop around for. Although, I have to say I am pretty impressed with my ability to see beyond ugly trim and brown doors (I don't like medium wood colored interior doors for some reason! Give me white!!) I think my consumption of HGTV over the past few years as made me realize that cosmetic changes are super easy (and possibly even really fun?!). Bring on the ugly living rooms, I'm ready for you, brass and brick and weird fireplaces!

Dear Sephora Nail Art Things,
You're awesome. You work so well. We're going to be great friends.

Dear Spring Accessories,
I'm really feeling you right now, especially some of you nautical pieces. I got inspired to make a little collection of you. If it wasn't my birthday soon and if I didn't subsequently feel guilty about buying things for myself, I'd get a couple of you (although I did have to buy a Freebie Friday anchor bracelet yesterday here). I am also eyeing Lemon and Line bracelets. I would wear every single one and they'd be perfect for our Newport trip this summer!
