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..."

Beauty By JoAnn

JoAnn Robertson Makeup Artist Website

If you are not accustom to wearing anything more than lipstick, wearing a full facial mask of foundation, blush, eyeliner, etc will not make you feel beautiful on your wedding day. You will look at your wedding pictures, and wonder why would you have a picture of another women (in a wedding dress) and your husband on display in your home, creepy.
Opting for no make-up is not the best option although it seems like that's the direction to go in. I say work with a make-up artist that can give you a natural look, without making you look like a work as a rodeo clown with a wedding dress on.
JoAnn Robertson Makeup Artist is the best fit for your big day. What ever your personal style is JoAnn will highlight, blush, brush, and make you beautiful, naturally.

Manicures DIY

I recently found a jewelry making video on You Tube and all I kept saying was " Her nails are busted, why would she do a demonstration and her nails are busted!". My High and Mighty attitude made me look at my own nails and I said "OMG, my nails are busted. How could I go out like that!".
Weekly manicures are expensive and just like the latte factor some things have to be cut, but you have to show off that pretty diamond ring. What's a bride to do. DIY to the rescue. If your budget must be slashed start here. Some of you Diva Brides get a bi-weekly manicure and even at a the low end of $12 per manicure, that's $312a year. I don't suggest you go into the world with "busted nails" but maybe you can do it yourself.
I searched You Tube for some How To videos and found "How To Give Yourself A Manicure" (that's catchy). It's 20 clear steps to a beautiful nails which included a person doing their own nails, helpful facts, and inexpensive products for the manicure. Minimize the trips to the nail salon, keep a little dough in the pocket.

13 Children and Still Happy

This weekend was the kind that families gather up their appetites and memories. And you begin meeting everyone before the big day. Take mental notes of who everyone is. The uncle who is a grabs too much, the cousin that's a secretary or a stripper (she likes her spandex), a nephew who is bound for a career in crime, and then his saint of a mother, who always makes a remark that makes you think "Wait a minute, I think I've been insulted".
But not all gatherings are filled with a cast ready for the carnival. This weekend I met a couple with 13 kids. YES, I SAID 13, no steps, no adoptions, one set of twins. She's even proud to say she is a grandmother (NO SHE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A GRANDMOTHER!). It was remarkable, there wasn't any wear and tear on her body or spirit. She is beautiful, enthusiastic, passionate, and even after 13 kids (which she home schooled 6), she is still happy.
We all asked how, why, what the hell!?
Her answer "I guess am madly in love with my Husband"

Stay madly in love it is the best beauty treatment you cannot buy!

PS: I apologize for not having any pictures of this women, I was in shock I couldn't reach for the camera.
