Black Lace Is Beautiful

Beautiful nails are a must for any bride.  She has to show off that ring and so she shows off a beautifully manicured hand.  The French manicure is probably the most popular choice  for the big day, but not everyone's style is that traditional.  Below a play on the French manicure using black lace.

An Update On The Vegan Bride

The Vegan Bride

I received an email with these beautiful natural products.  As I scrolled down, I realized it was The Vegan Bride, Lia.  When she got married (2009), Lia was teaching early childhood and I was impressed, she is an outstanding educator. 

Ma'athematics

Today, Lia launched her own company Ma'athematics, Natural Body Care.  Keeping in line with excellence, she is devoted to presenting sustainable alternative for body care.  The name reflects the Ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) concept of Ma'at, which signifies order and balance.  The products are created in loving unity with nature and when there is unity there will be peace.

Ma'athematics

"...a unique line of soaps, shampoos, body creams, butters, balms and salves, from 100% vegan and natural ingredients..."

DIY Your Make Up

In a recent conversation with a makeup artist on a movie set, I asked what he charges for wedding day make up.  His answer "Well, it depends, but maybe about $1500 on up", WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!   OK, he is no ordinary makeup artist, but still, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!  

Karen's Body Beautiful is going to save you $1500.

Locs In Love

Chic...Personal...Fun

Photo by Dante Williams

This bride chronicles her own wedding from beginning to the wedding day, The Harborside Wedding.  As her blog is titled it is Chic...Personal...Fun, so is the wedding.  I was struck by the heart shaped Loc Chignon.  Which was created by Andre Tinnie (freelances and works with Khamit Kinks).
