Beauty Blog Network Weekend Read

happy sunday! i'm late posting this today, but hopefully you'll forgive me! :) the weekend was relaxing and fun-- as yesterday i spent most of the day at home with my family (i did take my son for a much-needed haircut, though), and today was spent alone with hubby for a "date day". date nights aren't practical with his work schedule, so when we plan dates, daytime works best.

hope you enjoyed your weekend-- can you believe september starts this week??!!

and now for your evening enjoyment, a short and sweet weekend beauty read:

Beauty Blog Network Weekend Read

happy saturday beauties! hope your week went well and you're treating yourself to an enjoyable weekend. today my daughter's bff is coming to spend the night-- she is beyond excited!

one thing i love about the two of them is that they are almost complete opposites-- both 10, my daughter is a nail polish-wearing, dress-loving, "mom, does this purse go with this outfit?"-girl while her bff is a baseball-loving tomboy who would only wear a dress for a special occasion (she does like nail polish, though!). they love each other so much and seeing them grow up has been such a treat (they have known each other since they were 2).

in any case, the night should be interesting-- full of giggles, games and maybe some nail polish... :)

for now, i'm reading some posts from the past week from some fabulous Beauty Blog Network bloggers-- join me!
