Makeover!

So I'm sort of obsessed with makeovers. Truly, madly, deeply. Whether it's hair, makeup, body, mind, soul- I LOVE the makeover show, movie or what have you. So imagine my glee when I discovered http://www.taaz.com/, the ultimate makeover website!

I am planning to use this website to help prepare for my wedding- what kind of hairstyle do I want? What shade of lipstick or gloss? Shade of eyeshadow? Should I get highlights? How about lowlights? There are lots of other fun things to try like fake eyelashes, colored contacts and lip-plumping. The plumping made me look like a total crazy lady. Anyway, the list goes on. PLUS, not only can you try different shades, but they are actually linked to real makeup products! Amazing.

Upon hearing about the site (from my dad of all people), I had tons of fun experimenting with different hairstyles, eye colors and hair colors. The technology is actually pretty good and you can adjust everything exactly to the picture you upload. It is super fun to see! Below I have posted pictures of me in different iterations:

And finally, if Mr. L and I have a little Livalittle, this is what I think she would grow up to look like- me, with his coloring:

Has anyone used the site? Thoughts?

Happily Ever After

Hey friends! Recently, one of my lovely bridesmaids told me that she will be able to come for the week before the wedding to help with last minute stuff. I couldn't be more excited! She and I discussed watching some wedding movies that week, if we have time, which made me think of the best and worst wedding movies I've seen. According to the web, the highest-grossing wedding movies of the last twenty-five years are the following:

1. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
2. Wedding Crashers
3. Runaway Bride
4. Mamma Mia!
5. Sweet Home Alabama
6. My Best Friend's Wedding
7. American Wedding
8. Father of the Bride
9. The Wedding Singer
10. 27 Dresses

If you think about it, in all of these movies, the same thing happens: everything goes terribly wrong before it is all perfectly right! This is why I love the wedding movie genre. The more I watch, the more excited I am for my own wedding because I know that no matter what happens, it won't be as bad as, say, Mamma Mia, when the bride is trying to figure out which of three men are actually her father. I don't think I'm going to have this kind of drama. I know that something is bound to go wrong, but if wedding movies can teach us anything, it will all turn out ok! Below is my favorite scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Enjoy!
