ON THAT NOTE…

Yes. Often a pain, but so worth it when it’s done, right? We don’t mean to sound like your mom or anything, but seeing all those pretty little sparkling bottles + packages organized like this just gets us more inspired to be fancy and play beauty shop! Get in there this weekend. Throw the old out to make room for the new. See you all on Monday.

GIRLS, GET READY

It’s that time of year again.  Girls everywhere don beautiful gowns, paint their faces and curl their hair.  Then their dates present them with lovely corsages and escort them to fancy cars.  The whole evening feels like a fairytale… with the exception of the girl who forgot to properly prepare!  Don’t forget about what goes in your purse or clutch. Most prom-going-princesses don’t even think about these little things until they’re rushing out the door.

TBD’s prom night check list:

lipstick or lip gloss

powder compact (don’t forget to touch up unwanted shine before pictures!)

i.d. card

cash

phone

keys

camera

doublestick tape

bobby pins (if your hair is up)

small brush or comb (if your hair is down)

saftey pin

I don’t know why, but I find this look so incredibly adorable.  That being said, this is definitely a trend for the daring.  Wearing a pair of ears on my head is normally reserved for my annual Disneyland trip (or Amy Nadine’s weekly trip) or paired with my Halloween costume.  So it may feel unusual to wear it on a regular old Friday night, but I say who gives a darn!?  Why not have a little fun with your look and play dress up this weekend?

BEE DAY

You didn’t think we’d actually forget to celebrate one of the biggest beauty icons of all, did you?? Not only should we remember this pretty lady today on her birthday, but we should celebrate her sweet words of wisdom. No one knows beauty inside and out better than Audrey Hepburn, and thank goodness Mr. Sam Levenson was wonderful enough to jot down her advice…

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives and the passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.”

 

Happy Birthday, Audrey.

Bows, bows bows!!  This week I am spending some time in New York City
to work on my clothing line LC Lauren Conrad.  The season that I am
currently working on is filled with my favorite pretty detail… Bows!
After spending a day surrounded by beautifully knotted ribbons and
chiffons, I simply can’t help but be inspired.  So if you are a bow
lover like myself, why not let that trend carry over into The Beauty
Department? Nails, hair and even lashes are all just waiting to be
adorned with a lovely bow.
