Hair and Makeup trial

I went to an Aveda salon very close to the James Hotel, where we are getting married.

I like!

My lipstick wore off on the way home, but you get the gist.

I think my hair will be straight for the wedding, the curls are already falling out now.  But I wanted to try it.

Tastings, Tasty!

We are going to do both our Dinner and Cake tastings next week.

Some of the Dinner Menu Options:  Appetizers:

Truffled Goat Cheese and Mushroom Tart

Lobster spring Rolls

Tuna Tartare

Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail

Spicy Duck Wontons

Mini Kentucky Cheese Steak

Smoked Salmon Canape

Salads:

Dinner Options:

I’m not sure about cake flavors, but Cakegirls it is!

I’m going to have to remind me this is a Tasting, not an Eating.

I’ve been so busy. I’m sorry, I’m a bad blogger.
Monday I babysat
Tuesday I had class
Wednesday I worked out with my trainer and went grocery shopping.
Thursday I stayed after school, then met with a videographer and made a cake tasting appointment at cakegirls.
Today I will work out and go to Costco.

Miss Joey

from Weddingbee had a fantastic idea of using Craigslist for wedding Vendors.  Here are my results;

1.  Day of Coordinator ($400) 25 responses

2.  Officiant ($200) 4 responses

3.  Makeup Artist ($100) 8 responses

Fantastic!  And I got a bonus, a videographer for………………….wait for it…………….$324.

He just found one of my postings and offered to do videography.  Now, we haven’t met with these people yet, or signed off, or decided.  But it’s nice to know there are reasonably priced offerings out there.

Thanks Miss Joey!
