Europe Part 1: Medina or M'dina "The Silent City" & Giveaway announcement!

Hey guys so here is Part one of my vacation to Europe. I want to say Happy Belated Father's Day to all the daddy's and fathers out there! You must excuse me in my delay as I was still unpacking & settling in from Europe! Today's post I am sure has been long awaited by Dandy Dahlia you can find their full site here: www.dandydahlia.com.. but I just adore this dress and wear it everywhere.. however I found it exceptionally fitting for the day we spent in M'dina! It was so breezy & left me feeling cool and relaxed as y'all may know some countries have no AC in their taxis or buses! One thing I majorly take for granted but let me tell you I do not anymore! Medina was beautiful in an ancient little city way. SO magical and just brilliant! For info on the Coach Bag giveaway please see the bottom of the post!

Our first stop in Medina was a glass blowing shop! They made the most incredible things!

my wonderful daddy & brother!

I fell in love with the way their plants grew right up the side of their buildings/housing!

I have an obsession with this color and loved it even more paired against the sandstone colored walls! Not to mention how majorly adorable the doors were!

We ate lunch here, it was quaint and sitting right at the top of the hillside, beautiful back drop and wonderful views!

Outfit Details:

Dress: Sorbet Maxi: Right here! from Dandy Dahlia!

Jean Jacket: Cotton On

Sandals: Target

Sunnies: Vintage find at a local Vintage store!

Twist tie hair band worn as bracelet: Jolie Usa

All About EyeLash Extensions by Kristina (amazing experience!!)

Hi y'all! Sorry for the lack of posting I just got home from Europe which was amazing! I will have pictures up for you guys this week! Today's post is all about Eyelash Extensions! I am in love with them, I have seen so many other bloggers rant & rave about them.. but they change your life.. (I know I sound dramatic but I promise you I never want to go back to before!!) I had the brilliant opportunity to work with the sweetest, most talented, patient & beautiful lady Kristina who does Eyelash Extensions among her other many beauty talents!! She is located in my home town Sarasota, Florida (I will post all the links for you guys to be able to contact her below like I usually do!) I will be showing you guys before (eek... no makeup! pictures) & after pictures, along with the process! So here we go:

Meet Kristina! She is so talented and just darn gorgeous!!

Before Pictures:

During:

The End Result!!!:

After Care Instructions:

No water on your eyes for 24 hours

No rubbing, tugging, or pulling lashes.

No oil based make up removers!

No waterproof mascara

I had such a lovely relaxing experience with Kristina and Eyelash Extensions Sarasota!

Some Top Common Questions/ Concerns about Semi-Permanent Individual Eyelash Extensions!:

1) What are Shavasana lashes made of?

They are made of synthetic fibers that look and feel identical to a natural lash.

2) How long do the lashes last?

When properly applied they will last for the full life cycle of your natural lash. When they do fall out you come in for a fill between 2-4 weeks, whenever you feel you need them done again!

3) How long is the Procedure?

It is a very relaxing procedure that depends on the look of the lash you want and how many usually between 90-120 minutes the first session.

4) What is the Procedure like?

First your lashes must be completely clean, free of make-up & mascara. Kristina will prep your eyes with surgical tape and cooling gel pads. You will relax for the amount of time needed for your lashes to be applied one by one to each of your natural lashes and sealed for longevity. You may even fall asleep, their is relaxing background music! It is a really relaxing procedure. You end up with longer, fuller, voluminous lashes!

5) How safe are Shavasana lashes?

The lashes are applied directly to the natural lash, NEVER applied to the skin. The procedure is pain free and will not pull out your natural lashes. They eyes ram in closed and protected throughout the entire procedure.

6) Can you wear mascara with your lashes?

Yes, you can. Be gentle when removing your mascara. Only use water based makeup remover and do not pull or rub the extensions.
