I'm Turning Into a Girly Girl

For years I have been for lack of a better term a plain Jane.

I never really dressed up and I rarely, if ever, wore any make up.

Over the past few months I have been wearing make up and I feel very nice while wearing it. Usually it's only on Sundays and perhaps on the very rare occasion when I am going out somewhere special.

The local Farmers Market was on this weekend (yesterday to be exact) and I was looking at one of the stalls that sold some very pretty jewellery. I was looking at these two necklaces thinking will I wear them? And if I did, what one would I choose. I asked the boys which one looked nicer. Brodz said the one on the left looked pretty and Angus said the one on the right (in the photo above).

A lady walking past, just at the right time, said why not get both so I did.

Looks like I will be getting a little more dressed up when I go out. I haven't really done this since before the boys were born. 

I only have one complaint about being a 'girly girl' and that is it takes me a lot longer to get ready but as I often say to the boys. It takes time to look and stay this amazing (~_o) 

Painting My Nails

Sometimes I just have having psoriasis in my fingernails. Mainly because when my nails break I lose so much nail it isn't funny. That's what happened last night when I was trimming my nails. I like to keep them fairly short because of my psoriasis as they catch on things if I knock them and it really, really hurts.

This looks like it hurt but thankfully it didn't.

I was also hoping to give myself a manicure and try one of the new colours (painting my nails is a great way to hide the psoriasis) I bought myself the other day. Maybe I might end up doing them this afternoon if I manage to find some time. I can almost see my fingers in that fluoro pink (~_~) 

Nice and bright aren't they?!

I'm Almost A Girly Girl

I'm turning into a girly girl. Shock horror!  Make up, dresses and pretty shoes. They are totally NOT me. Well maybe the pretty shoes just a little bit but the rest isn't. You see I have been practising my make-up and hair styling skills (or lack of them really) trying out different looks for the wedding. 

I've actually enjoyed 'playing dress-up' although the boys have given me strange looks and stated that I didn't need make-up because I looked pretty already. Good save boys and you are right I am beautiful (~_o) Brodie says I have a big enough ego already but hey if I look good why not tell everyone *smile*

I think this is how I will do my make-up for the big day.

I took about 10 photos of myself this morning before I found one that I sort of liked. I even tried doing my hair but it's no cooperating very well today. This is kind of what I will look like on Saturday. What do you think? Too much? Not enough? Just right?

5 days to go and counting ....
