Wilmington Recap

I learned a few things in Wilmington this past weekend.  

1 - I am bad when it comes to taking pictures for this here blog.  I never forget to take pictures when I'm out of me and my friends, but I rarely take pictures of other stuff to put on here.  Like the fabulous beach boutiques we went to on Saturday.  (We all know how dangerous this shopping trip was for me...) or how dark it was on the beach on Sunday while it was thundering and lightning profusely, but not raining.  I am going to get better at this whole non-people picture taking thing. 

2 -  I think I finally have my dilemma, of having a super pale face in pictures, figured out.  Well I mean, at least now that it's summertime :-)  Thanks to one of your comments (I can't remember who it was), I learned that the massive amount of SPF that I was wearing in my moisturizer was causing some of the paleness due to the camera flash.  I now (but only at night!) will wear a non-spf moisturizer if I'm going to be taking pictures.  I am also loving NARS Orgasm blush and with a dabbb of bronzer swiped over it!

3 - People apparently really like my hair curly. I had complete strangers telling me they liked my hair on Saturday night... I have been embracing the curls lately (I like to think of it as my beach look...) and would like to say thank you to the two gallons of frizz products I use every time I wear it curly to help keep my hair from looking like a hairstyle that was very popular in the late 60's and early 70's...

4 - I need to chill out with the potato chips.  I downed a half-a-can of salt n' vinegar Pringles on Friday afternoon in less than 5 minutes.. wooops.

Here are a few of the "people" pictures I took this weekend.  Thanks to Carmen for a wonderful weekend of shopping, girl chats, eating out, and beachin' it, I can't wait to go back!!

Nautical Memory - Wilmington

This weekend I am in Wilmington visiting my bff Carmen!  I can't wait to eat at our favorite restaurants, talk about all our favorite tv shows (she's the one I make the spreadsheets with!), shop til we drop, and visit the Wrightsville beach bars!  Maybe we'll run into some One Tree Hill stars along the way... Below is a favorite picture from our 24th birthday.  (Yes, we have the same bday!)
