Your wedding day is your day to shine and gorgeous bridal beauty is key.  Now, false eyelashes may not be part of your desired beauty regiment but for those of you that prefer to glam it up, they can help to accentuate your pretty peepers.  However, if you ladies out there are anything like a few of us here at New and Blue, when hearing the phrase “false eyelashes” we immediately revert back to those futile attempts which ended in gluey fingers and a lash-line mid lid.  Well, if your looking to give the application process another go, we found this super helpful video by Sephora.  It really outlines the best way to correctly apply those falsies!  Check it out!

The snow is falling, the holidays are around the corner, and snuggling with your sweetie with a cup of hot cocoa is a romantic and lovely way to spend an evening.  Well, the cozy feeling that winter brings can easily transpire into your wedding theme.  Have a winter wonderland event with subtle snowflake decor such as monochromatic white table settings with just a sparkle of snowflake confetti or by including a winter motif in your invitations, wedding cake, and other decorations.  Not only will the wintry silver and white wonderfully capture such a romantic season, it will also be unbelievably beautiful and timeless.
