Natural & Organic Beauty at Sephora

Several months ago I walked into Sephora in Times Square, NYC and asked a salesman if they had any natural or organic makeup. I had heard that they carry Bare Escentuals and was interested in giving it a try. Well....that man looked at me like I wasn't good enough to be in his store and said (with a disgusted look on his face and a snotty tone is voice) , "Natural or organic? No, not here." Okay then. I turned away and walked out of the store annoyed. I didn't let that taint my opinion of Sephora, however, and decided to check out the one in my local mall. Sure enough, there was Bare Escentuals. I bought it and have been loving it ever since.

I occasionally get emails from Sephora with offers of discounts and free samples so I decided to check out their website and what to my wondering eyes should appear, at tab on the top right corner for an entire section labeled, "NATURAL & ORGANIC"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Been Too Long

It's been a long time since I've written a blog post. I've been very busy with wedding stuff. I still don't really have time to write now but I'll just give you an update of what's been eating up my time.

- I've finally come up with a final design for our homemade invitations. I ordered recycled paper that should arrive early next week. Once it's here I'll start making the invites and get them out as soon as possible.

- I'm teaching myself to make beaded jewelry. I went to the local craft store and bought a book and supplies and I've already made six necklaces and three bracelets. I'm working up to more intricate projects. My goal is to make my own jewelry for the wedding.

- Details, details, details. If you've never planned a wedding or other large event, you have no idea how time consuming the little details can be. From coordinating with the caterer, creating a song list, choosing decorations to finding a hairstylist. I love doing everything but it sure does eat up a lot of time. Thank goodness I'm not working until September.

- Last, but certainly not least, I've been exercising a lot. I'm trying to tone up my arms as much as possible but I'm also trying to lose weight so I've been working out a couple hours a day and whenever possible I throw in some extra weight lifting or yoga in the evening.

So there ya have it. These are the reasons I haven't written in such a long time.

Now back to my beading!
