pampered.

i love to be pampered. 
in any and every form of the word.
i like to give credit to my mother for raising my this way.
i love to indulge in manicures. pedicures. and leisurely days by the pool.
facials. massages. sauna visits. blow outs. 
i welcome them any day of the week.

but if i had to choose one way to be pampered,
i would say that having my make-up done just may be top on my list.
maybe that is because i rarely get the pleasure of doing so.
but it is also because those artists know how to work with a blank canvas.

i'll tell you what. 
i could be having the worst beauty day. 
puffy eyes. breakouts. dark circles. dry skin.
and they still can manage to make a girl look like a beauty.
the tricks they have up their sleeves are remarkable.

as you know, i got married in november.
and i just loved spending the morning in the make-up chair.
it was indulgent. pampering.
it was so glamorous.  
the ultimate treat for the special day.


look at all of those colors to choose from.
i would love to have that selection to play with every morning.


blank canvas.
shirls knows some serious tricks to creating flawless skin.


having your make-up done is even more pampering
when you have a doting bestie to hold your hand.


imagine having that eye make-up everyday.
i am a big eye make-up girl, so i would love this.


oh, yes! please do powder my nose!


la.la.lashes.


i am a true believer that the world is a lovelier place
due to the invention of jet black volumizing mascara.
i. never. leave. home. without. it. 

if i could have shirley from chanel come to my house every morning
to help me put on my face of make-up,
i would be over the moon.
so, shirls? 
whattya think?

how do you pamper yourself?

  2. How pretty are you! Those EYES ... oh if only I could recreate.

    I, too, love a good pampering. My favorite way to spend a Saturday is to go spend hours at a spa. Lounging around, eating dried apricots and walnuts and apples and sipping mint tea. Having a massage or facial, visiting the sauna and steamroom. Reading their pretty magazines. Bliss.

    PS - An upcoming guest post by Steel Magnolia, yippeeeeee!
