    Too much sun before the wedding? Don’t have the time to go to the spa, yet needing to sooth that “sunny” glow so you can achieve that wedding glow (like our lovely bride here)? Look into a new product by Erno Laszlo – Hydra-Therapy Skin Vitality Treatment. Our faces are not as fresh and resilient as our young brides, but after a day in the heat watching baseball, we found it wonderfully soothing when we tried it. Hydra-Therapy Skin Vitality Treatment is a re-hydrating mask that refreshes and recharges the skin. It’s a deep moisturizing mask that also works to soothe and cool sunburn...

    We all know that masks have really made their way into the wedding world.  With them donned not only for photo booth pictures, but bridal party pictures as well...I couldn't help but think that if I was to wear a mask what kind it would be.  And to be honest, I really didn't think that I would find one that I would be over the moon about.  But, lo and behold I did!  How amazing would it be to have not only the bride, but the bridesmaids as well wear one of these for pictures... Now this is EXACTLY the type of mask that not only I would wear, but I would ask my girls to wear ...

    Recently, I’ve seen a strong presence of masks in today’s weddings.  When I think of masks, I immediately think of Halloween and the theatre.  Masks, although frequently used for entertainment purposes, have had a strong presence throughout history, dating as far back as the Stone Ages where they used masks for hunting.  Hunting, eh?  Pretty interesting parallel to the ol’ ball and chain.  In Renaissance Italy, masks were typically for the upper-class, worn at Masquerade Balls, representing wealth and good ol’ fun, but sometimes were the catalyst for social uh-ohs, remember Romeo...

    Has anyone ever made their own homemade face masks? The idea of using all-natural ingredients for an at-home spa experience is pretty appealing, but it also seems a little weird (not to mention sticky and gooey) to slather things like mushed up banana on your face. Of course, that's probably better than the chemical laden alternative, right?Dead Sea Mask by Bella Honey Body CareI did a little internet research and have shared the best of what I found below. However, please feel free to share your own experience, links, or tips in the comments section.According to one online article, "Get Stuck...

    Dear ESB, As a disclaimer, I often enjoy Jordan Ferney's blog, "Oh Happy Day" despite her often baby-centric and/or overly kitschy/crafty posts. Even the egregious sponsored posts (hey, however you make the dough whatevs). But sometimes she knocks it out of the park. Her map to the Paris Flea Market? Genius. Okay, i just spent ten minutes looking for another post I liked as much as that one and couldn't find it. But regardless, too-cutsey posts are totally fine by me. But this (?!?!) is just unreal. And so effing funny. Because i figured you don't read blogs like hers regularly, I want...
