Red Lips, Love Me, Fear Me

Loving that red lips are popular again.

Over the years, I have collected various shades and textures of red lips.  My Xtina red lipstick is perfect for a night out with the ladies.  Nothing goes better with leopard. 

However, the look is not so work appropriate. 

Emma Stone motivated me to find a color that is subtle, but intentional. 

Red berry, not red vavoom. 

Introducing: MAC Lustre Glass in Venetian.  It says, “Love me, but fear me.”  Nailed it.    



Anniversary Sparkle

While I searched the internet for crafts, Brett opted for more classic anniversary gift:

Gorgeous!

I might be covered in paint and glue, but my ears are flawless.  <Sighhhh>  Being in love makes my whole world sparkle.  Thank you, Hubsies!

You & Me Together... at Michael's

In searching for anniversary gifts, I poked around the internet for artwork to display our wedding song.  Esty.com offered photo canvases, ring dishes, and engravings.  In the end, I chose a darling keychain with a map of the location of our wedding in Cle Elum. 

Just the example...

Brett and I both liked the keychain, but I still searched for art to honor our wedding song.  Never fear, Pinterest to the rescue! 

The Inspiration:

 

Next, I went to Michael's for supplies.  Brett found me aimlessly wandering the aisles:

Painters' masking tape feeds my OCD attention to detail.

Who knew chevron lines involved math!?

My finished masterpiece:

 “You & Me

Together

We

Can Do

Anything,

Baby”
