I'm frequently rotating my favorite of-the-moment beauty products, and these are what I've been reaching for lately... After back-to-back-to-back (etc..) pre-wedding shellac manicures, my nails needed time to breathe and recover.

Having recently experienced the entire wedding planning process and the exciting day-of festivities - I've found that I have a refreshing new perspective when reading wedding articles... Worries that caused me sleepless nights and things that I endlessly scrutinized over sorted themselves out and the day came together more perfectly then I thought possible. I can now sit back and laugh at myself for over-thinking almost every little detail. With wedding season having already begun, here are a few links that are sure to be helpful for brides-to-be and wedding guests alike :: Don't be the worst. - the phones/ipads/cameras urks me to the core! (We actually added a little note to the ceremony program, asking people to not take photos, rather engage and be present throughout the ceremony.. ( almost)  everyone respected our wishes) + + + + + Polite ways to ask rude questions. - I took D's last name, and let me tell you, I have heard my share of other peoples opinions... (I get th...
