Double Duty Post


I've had some requests for pictures of me and my belly. I haven't put any up because I kept hoping to get a shot of me doing something cool and my belly just happened to be in the picture. Well, every time the camera came out I "conveniently" became the camera girl (hehe) so there are very few pictures of me (except on the next post and they are HARDLY flattering). Today I am 36 weeks and 1 day. But today is different (the other reason for the post, hence, the "double duty" title) This morning I had a dream come true. This morning a someone (meaning Mary Kay consultant Tammy Brown, who is awesome) sat down with me and taught me how to put make up on MY face. It was practically one-on-one so it wasn't just general tips that leave you wondering "what shape ARE my eyes" and "what color IS the inside of my lip?" But no, for me personally! She showed me what colors of eyeshadow look good with blue eyes (besides brown, I already knew that ) and how to put it on for a new more dramatic look. She showed me what color of blush and where to put it on my own face shape. Then she showed me some fun concealer and eye-liner tricks I hope to remember for a long time. In short, the real reason for this post is.... I feel beautiful today-for the first time in a long time.

Alison, you are BEAUTIFUL!! You have always been gorgeous, and now that you have the most adorable little belly, you are absolutely glowing! Thanks for putting this up! :)

oh my gosh your belly is soooooooo cute! I absolutely love it! But I am also laughing because Tammy Brown found you too! I swear that woman is everywhere . No joke about her being good, cause she is. She almost had me convinced to be a Mary Kay consultant and she got my sister in law.

My mom and I actually are Mary Kay consultants and Tammy is our director. She is really great! My mom has been working with her for about 5 years now. I am glad she found you! And you are right too Heather, she is everywhere!

You look way cute, by the way. I am quite jealous!
