Makeup and Hair Trial

I had my trial Saturday with Marie from Beauty on the Go and I really liked it!

Love the hair and the makeup is nice. I was looking more for blushing bride pink but that didn't go with my colouring so let's go with what works and still looks good.

So those who know me know that I turn beet read after one - two drinks (depending on the libation). Now, after years of drinking in university, I'm not a lush but definitely look like one. With certain types of alcohol, I actually break out into a rash which is super unattractive.

After reading Weddingbee the other day about remedies for this problem (it's actually a genetic defect as we're missing an enzyme to break down the alcohol). After some googling, I found out there are H2 blockers that minimize the effects of the redness (some people actually turn purple!). And the most commonly available one marketed for other purposes:
I tried it Saturday and while I only had two drinks, I didn't turn as red as usual. Hallelujah! I'm glad to find this out before the wedding as I'm planning on partaking in the open bar.

My engagement pictures are today! :) Had another rough week including travelling from 7am tp 10pm yesterday (a long painful story).

I am getting a well needed trim and styling and getting my makeup done with Alysa Lyons. I don't think I'll be posting before no make up shots (scary!) but maybe my after makeup shots.

We're getting our pics done this afternoon with Jen of Jennifer Images at Adamson Estates. I'll post some and the link as soon as I get them from Jen.

I did want to post my "Something blue" dress tag:


I'll get my mom to stitch it in the day of (great shot) or maybe I'll do it myself (a funny shot).
