Wedding Planning on a Budget

Hey guys!! What's up? Today I thought it'd be super fun to share some of my wedding planning with you. I just got married Saturday and this is how we kept our costs low, I got lots of compliments on the wedding and everything turned out beautifully, so I wanted to share that so you can budget and keep costs down as well, I linked to all I could. Now I am by no means at all an expert or even know what I'm doing however I am working with what is considered in the wedding world a VERY tight budget. Andrew and I agreed on a budget of $3,000 or less for the entire wedding. Now as tight as that sounds it's going quite well so far, we have purchased almost all our non-time-sensitive items with just a few to go.  Now I lost all my number because my tablet wasn't backed up when it died so I will have to go back and try and see if I can find those or figure them back up (It took forever but I did it!!), but we were well within budget so far. We didn't...

Marc Anthony Strengthing Grow Long Leave In Conditioner Review

Hey guys! Tonight I am reviewing the Marc Anthony Strengthening Grow Long Leave in Conditioner. I am actually really loving this. It definately helps my hair feel softer and less damaged from things like over washing and heat styling. I don't believe it is repairing my hair but while I am using it it helps with the look and feel. I love this and would love to get more and keep using it. If you don't mind using it everyday it is great, if you want a like 1 bottle fix, this won't do what you want, but personally as I said I don't believe anything will repair the damage completely. I give it a 10/10 though, I love it.

Why I Want OBEY In My Vows

Having the word obey in my vows was never something I really thought about until recently while trying to pick our wedding vows. Andrew mentioned he wanted obey in them and at first I wasn't too into the idea. A little back story for that, as a teen, the LAST thing I wanted to do was to have to obey any guy I was with, that sounded like TORTURE. Growing up in a very traditional Christian family and church though, that was taught (although not super heavily enforced in my house, both my parents worked together). I watched a lot of families who did enforce it and I didn't like how it looked from the way they did it in their households, it looked to me as if the women was basically a slave and I didn't see much love in it. The guy just did whatever he wanted and that was that, she went along. It in the Bible talks about women being a helpmeet for her husband and things like that and submitting to him and I really didn't like that idea as a teen, I ...
