The weekends are coming 'round faster with each week--I'm not complaining, but last weekend was a killer. I spent Friday evening celebrating a friend's birthday, only to jump right into a 7am call time to whip up some bridal makeup for a good friend. Thankfully I wasn't meant to do the bride herself (I don't know what I would have done with myself, as packing my kit was hard enough--the nerves!), but "a couple bridesmaids" quickly turned into all but two, and the addition of grandmas, moms and aunts. They are a sweet family, and they were full of love and anxiety that morning.

tradition in the groom's family
I had a lovely time, but you can believe I was ready to turn in at the end of the night! It wasn't funny when I was still knocked out asleep at 8 o'clock the next night. Backtracking a bit, I did win a raffle basket (I can't be held accountable for the awful Easter grass and cheapo candles--how are you gonna mix that with some MAC?) at the restaurant we dined at on Friday, for a mere five dollars! I jumped for joy as I realized that I now had doubles of the Naked Honey lipglasses. Literally, I jumped. Too bad that wasn't caught on camera :)
note the tanning gift certificates...um wow, just
what I had been hoping for...
So here we are at the weekend once again--you may be celebrating the 4th of July, or then again you may just be celebrating the ever anticipated end-of-week. What will you be doing?

I can imagine the jump! I always freak out when I get something I love... its quite embarassing. Normally I make a screaming squealing noise too.. :/
You have to explain the broom thing.. i mean it seems like fun but is it traditional???? xx
@tali: those around me knew that the MAC basket was fitting :) weird thing is, there were doubles of some things, and then some of the most random things, like that mini pigment??
the broom--the bride is Mexican, and the groom is African-American, so what they told us is that jumping the broom symbolized their new unity together, although now I've started reading up on it and am finding all sorts of things!
