If you are a procrastinater, yes you!  And you still haven’t ordered holiday cards for family and friends then it is time to get on it!!  Minted has got you covered and is ready to help you customize a beautiful card to send to those you love.

I have family spread out all over the place so I really enjoy sending out cards, any kind of cards really but especially Christmas cards because I get to pick a few of my absolute favorite pictures of Nate from the past year and share them with everyone.  This way everyone can see him growing and changing even if they aren’t around all the time and I know they love that!  I am a fan of the multi picture cards such as:

Wish Banner Holiday Photo Cards, such a clean way to showcase several photos!

or if you like to pick one picture of you are yours then how about the Simply Joy Holiday Photo Cards!

What I really love about Minted is that you truly can customize your cards!  There are different colors available which personally I find awesome because I hate finding a great layout but wishing it came in a different color.  You can decide if you want a flat card, a folded card or blank inside or add to the inside.  As a picture obsessed Momma I like adding pictures to the inside, one year we even put a picture on the back haha!  There are also several paper options, perhaps you want recycled paper, super thick paper to really make your card stand out or pearlescent paper!  You make your card how you want it at Minted!  So what are you waiting for?  Head over today and start making custom creations for everyone in your address book!

IGIGI for Valentine’s Day!

Valentine's Collection of Plus Size Dresses for that person in your life - YOU!

The biggest day of looooove is coming on Tuesday.  When your husband or boyfriend takes you out to romance you in hopes that they will be treated to the same romance.  Most of us pamper, fluff, flat iron and make ourselves up to our sexiest and to go with that we buy new underwear, new shoes and a new dress!

I wanted to share some awesome dresses that I found on IGIGI to help make you va va voom this Valentine’s Day!  IGIGI has been talked about several times on this blog because I love the company and I love the lovely lady that is my contact for those insider press releases I share.  She didn’t ask me to share this I just happened to be on the website because I have a wedding in a couple months and wanted to see if any new jewelry had come out for me to ogle.  Because I love me a bold chunky necklace or a pair of drop earrings.

Anyway…on to what you really want to see…

The Nicole Dress in Berry, the design of this dress will make your curvy curves go BAM!!  This dress is $122 and made of a flattering knit.  One of the many things I love about IGIGI is that you will always find quality materials that work WITH your body not against it.

Nicole Dress in Berry The one that I am in love with (and know that Mr Babes Rockin’ Mami would love) is the Loren Dress in Plum, $170.  The neckline on this would show of my newly found collar bones and also my always been there cleavage just right.  I love the belt shown that works to cinch in your waist.  Delicious!

And if subtle isn’t your thing then you may like the Margaux Dress, $170 for this jersey dress covered in sequins with cut outs on the arms and that pulled/twisted waist band is to die.

And those are just a few of the fabulous things found, you can also find bags, jewelry and if dresses aren’t your thing there are pants, tops and even ponchos.  Don’t forget IGIGI on your Valentine’s Day look planning but hurry you only have a few days left!

Makeup Monday

Just another basic, I’m working on finding time to a bright makeup look but you guys know it’s been the holidays!  We have all been busy.  This is the look I did to go to Christmas Eve dinner at our cousins house.

Start with your prepped face as usual.  Foundation, powder, blush, etc.

I forgot to take as you go pictures but it is really easy.  Put goldish shadow all over the lid and a white highlight right under your brow.  Curl lashes and then take pencil liner and put a thin line across the lid and add a little wing.  Add hot pink lip gloss.  Take pictures haha
