29 In Chicago Part 2

That night we headed to dinner on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building. 

About Face

I LOVE makeup! It has always been such fun for me. I keep it simple most days with just eyebrows and mascara but I always get so excited for the opportunity to play around. I recently got some great products that I am really excited about using. I am far from a beauty guru but I love trying new things, especially when they are recommended by my friend's who are also lovers of makeup. 

First up eyebrows. UGH, if you know me, you know my eyebrows have always been a huge source of frustration for me. I have so much to fill in. And don't worry, I revealed my bare brows to Tj very early in our dating life so he knew what he was getting into, just in case he was a brow man. Thankfully he wasn't and our baby turned out to have PERFECT brows.

Look at those arches!


 I've received some praise over my new found brow routine so I will share the products I use. 

My friend Joanne recently put me on game to makeup artist Desi Perkins. She's on instagram (@desimakeup) and has a YouTube channel. She, like me has very little brow hair (thanks Mom). She posted a video of her brow tutorial and it has changed my life.

Well hello 3rd trimester.....

Bump Watch

It is now time to dress my bump!!! My regular clothes still fit but at every opportunity I will make Baby H's presence known. This was the perfect time because we had the wedding of Nakhala and Vinh to attend and I was so excited to shop for a dress!

So I wanted something that was tight but not sufficating, I really don't want to start buying things that I can't wear after I have the baby so I will try and stick to the small sizes, for now. I'm sure many of you are chuckling at that last sentence, just let me be delusional ok!!!
