the meaning of the day...
CarrieQ in Etiquette and Advice, on May 22, 2014 at 1:20 AM

So, I'm growing a bit concerned that FH is seeing this wedding as a big reunion and chance to party with all of his friends that he hasn't seen in awhile. Me, I'm looking at it as the day I join my...

I had my make-up preview today and, although I loved my eyes and lips, the airbrush foundation seemed to settle into my fine lines and made me look old! Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a...
