What I learned from my old pictures

I was looking through some old pictures today when I came across two of myself that I actually love. In one of them, I am at a ball with my husband and everything about the picture is perfect. My hair fell just right, there are no little lines around my eyes, my skin looks smooth and glowing and the makeup is perfect. It was one of those nights when everything came together.

What I learned from this picture: I need to spend a bit more time on my makeup, even on an everyday basis. I especially need to make sure that I am wearing a little highlighting cream or powder when I go out, because I love that glow. And I need more rest. Which I'm not going to get. For a long time. Oh well.

The other was taken a couple of months after our wedding, and it was a group picture with my in-laws. My makeup looks good, the dress is cute, but the hair is what captured my attention. The thing I love about this picture is that I still have the highlights from my pre-wedding visit to Oscar Blandi.

What I learned from this picture: I need highlights again. They gave dimension and interest to my hair, rather than making it look like one long dark mass. They looked pretty and subtle and just gave my hair some added oomph! Now I just need to find the time to have them done again...
