Party Recap..More Sickness..

Posted in beauty, life by

Hi Everybody! Sorry I’ve been MIA recently.  I meant to recap earlier this week, but Andy and I are both sick AGAIN! We seem to have picked back up that same cold we had a few weeks ago.  It’s been lingering all week and it just sucks.

Anyway, as you know, last Saturday night we had our Regal awards ceremony and we had a good time.  A

lot of people dressed to the 20s theme and that made it so much more fun.  I’m still in the process of getting pictures loaded, but I promise to post them here as soon as they are loaded on my computer.

Originally I was thinking of doing an updo and I did a trial last week of something like this:

However..after thinking about it and thinking about all the money I recently spent to have it highlighted and cut…I decided to just give it a good blow out and curl and leave it down.  I’m glad I did that because it was so much more relaxed all night and I wasn’t worried about it at all.  It was a nice change from my normal formal hair do’s.
Also, I went Saturday morning and got a mani/pedi at a salon here in Columbia called SOAK Nail Spa courtesy of a Groupon I bought recently.   It was awesome! The atmosphere so was relaxing and calming.  You get treated like royalty and the quality of work was Amazing! My feet and hands felt so refreshed and soft when I left.  The color I got on my nails and toes was bubble bath.  Even with two coats…it was probably just a little too shear for me.  Very pretty, but just too light.
All in all..it’s been a pretty dull week.  Hopefully this coming week will be a little more exciting and I’ll have more to share.  Have a great weekend!

Valentine’s Day & The Roaring Twenties

Posted in andy, beauty, date, life, personal, video by

Hi everybody! How was your Valentine’s Day?  Did you celebrate? Andy and I had a wonderful low key celebration with dinner out and an exchanging fo small romantic gifts.  It was perfect.  We have both been so tired lately that anything more would have just been too overwhelming! Being the young, energetic couple we are…we were in bed by 11pm at the latest. I don’t know why..but we have both been just so tired lately.  It seems like no matter what time we go to bed or what time we wake up, we are just unbelievably tired! Anyone else feeling drowsy lately? I also wanted to thank those of you that watched my video blog the other day…it was awful, but you have to start somewhere right?  I’ve posted a few more videos since then and I have more coming.  I may not post every video here, but if you’re interested, you can subscribe to my channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/kpope51486 I’m hoping to do a mixture of beauty and design videos there so stay tuned for more updates. Switching Topics…this weekend..Andy and I are going to the Annual Regal Awards Ceremony here in Columbia.  It’s basically an award ceremony for new construction homes (agents, builders, marketing, etc.) where everyone get’s to get all dressed up and enjoy a wonderful meal and an open bar.  This year’s theme is “The Roaring 20’s” and it seems as though a lot of people are dressing to theme this year.  I bought a short black fringe cocktail style dress and I love it.  I’ll be sure to post photos from the event.  My only problem is..how do I style my hair for the 1920s! The style then was the short bob, but I have long thick hair and I am not planning to cut it.  I’ve pinned a few things, but am just not sure yet.  It will be a last minute decision for sure!

So, have you ever dressed from the 1920s era for an event or party?  What sort of outfit did you wear or how did you do your hair/makeup? I’d love to see pics! 

I’ll make sure to put pics up next week of the event so everyone can see how it turned out! Talk to you soon!
