Visiting Greece has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. Oia, Santorini was my most coveted travel destination . I would dream of those magical sunsets sinking into the crystal blue Aegean Sea, the white-washed buildings, and the famous blue domes. Lucky for me, my groom felt the same. So when when it came to making honeymoon plans we knew Oia was a must on our Grecian itinerary.

Of course you want to look AMAZING in your wedding day photos. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It is not unusual to spend over a year planning this momentous day. Maybe you have been planning since you were 5. Also not unusual. The process is an emotional experience where you invest your heart, your time, and probably a good bit of sanity. Your thoughts are continuously consumed by the seemingly endless array of decisions and details. You have a clear vision of what your perfect day will look like and figuring out how to execute and realize that vision suddenly becomes a top priority in your life.
Apart from the emotional aspects, you usually invest a serious pretty penny as well. If you are currently planning your wedding, I’m sure you have experienced some sticker shock as things add up. BUT all of the time, effort, stress, and money is completely justifiable and totally worth it because it’s your WEDDING DAY!…
My mission was to find the perfect wedding day hue. So the hunt for the best wedding day lip color began. Here are the final contenders from bright reddish rose to nude. It was about a year from my wedding day when I really started to think about what I wanted for my wedding day makeup look. I couldn’t decide if I wanted a dramatic smoky eye with a nude lip or a softer eye with a bright dramatic lip. Over the next months I would experiment with many different looks. I experimented with colors I had and added 4 new along the way. By the time my makeup trial came I had decided on the best wedding lip color and will share below. Here are the shades that were in the running and I still love and wear!…

Just 6 minutes of mindfulness can really change your life. We often power through our days. We go through the motions and hardly have the chance to slow down and be in the present. Along my continued journey of mindfulness and self-care I developed a 3-2-1 routine for myself that I practice daily to help keep me focused and centered. It’s simple and consists of spending 3 minutes stretching, 2 minutes thinking positively by practicing positive visualization, and following up with 1 minute of deep breathing. It’s important to be present in the moment and let yourself have that short time to take care of you. Challenge yourself to try it for 1 week and see how much it truly helps!

A BIG part of weight loss and management is beauty. What I mean is that there is a connection between how we take care of ourselves to feel beautiful and the way feeling great helps us reach our goals. There is a reason the saying, “When you look good, you feel good,” has stuck around.

Putting yourself first shouldn’t make you feel a twinge of guilt as it often does for so many of us. It should be a must in our lives so we can be our healthiest and happiest self….
