Hair and Makeup trial

April 25, 2009 · 1 Comment

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.

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.
I also have to work tommorow for 4 hours and then we are going to Milwalkee to see Louis CK.

Yay Miss Joey!

Miss Joey 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!
