Beauty related:
Where could I find some SUPER sparkly gold or blue nailpolish?

I'm talking about very chunky, glittery nailpolish. I am thinking I want that type of nailpolish on my toes for the wedding day

I used to wear that kind of nailpolish ALL the time back when I was a little teeny bopper (back when the Spice Girls were popular), but it's been about a decade since I've bought any.

I would go to any beauty supply store that carries OPI (most of them do). There's a new line out inspired by Katy Perry that has tons of sparly, glitter nail polish!

I think I've seen some for making your own ... using clear nail polish and a chunky glitter (Martha Stewart - from Michaels, maybe)?

I also found this site for some cool comparisons, most of them are 'barely' glitter though ... not enough bling.

ETA: ooh, this is cool!

@Mgoss - I'm likely going to do the same thing for my toes - will go great with my crystal flip flops (yep my MOH, BMd and I are all getting ones w/crystals and wedge heels).

Of course I tend to paint my toes blue all the time anyway, and usually with sparkles. OPI does have some, so does China Glaze. I'll have to check out the Katy Perry line!

The help I need is motivation for getting in better shape for the wedding. I've been having ongoing muscle pain and fatigue so it's hard to get motivated to move. I have seen the doctor and she thinks it's a BP med but doesn't want me off of it until I get some weight off and get excersing. Very much a catch-22. Any tips are welcome!

@Mgross I would look at Sephora too. They have tons, and tons, and tons of nail polish. I buy a lot from them

@sharingourlove -- I would start by making simpey liitle changes, and start building from there. I tried several times to get started and failed. But this past week I found something thats worked, well so far. Its soup for dinner! It sounds simple, but a high vegetable low calorie meal at night, will really help. so for the most part, my fi and I have been having soup, salad, and a piece of garlic bread for dinner. It's easy, simple, and takes about 10 minutes to make. I would just try to eat low sodium, natural soups. You won't get healthy eating cambells high fructose corn syprup and preservatives. Sorry, long rant on soup! haha
However once you get going on one goal, incorporate another one. I know you're in pain, but if you can try taking easy, light walks to get started? Try for a few minutes a few days a week, and build on it once you get more comfortable.
and, the best advice I could give is hit up the Getting In Shape board on TK. its full of helpful information, and very encouraging people. I found it really helpful in getting started.

Help for myself----- I NEED SUNSHINE AND WARM VIBES FOR TOMORROW FOR OUR E-PICS!!!!!!! Our whole session is outdoors......and my hair does terrible in the humidity and rain!!! I need sun. Lots of it!

@Sharingourlove---I second abrieck.....Start with small changes...then work towards more as you master one thing. Just do it one thing at a time. Also, DIET is 85% of weight loss......if you feel sore, etc....just focus on making sure your diet is 100%! What we like to do for soups is do crockpot soups. it will last you a few days, it's homemade so you know there's no preservatives and crap....and it's delicous! Alos, WATER!!!! Water is sooo important. Water will make you lose weight! Simple as that. Drink as much water as you possibly can....and yes you will pee a lot....but it's worth it. I have been working on getting in 75ounces a day, but you should really get in 100 ounces. In order to make it easier for me to get in my water, I bought this 75 ounces water bottle for $2 at big lots and I just fill that up in the morning and sip from it all day. If I finish it by dinner, than I treat myself to a diet vanilla coke...my love. haha. You could do something similar. But honestly, just drinking water and focusing on your diet will make you lose at least 2lbs a week.

Another question:

What are you and/or your FI having engraved on your wedding rings?

I'm looking for some inspiration!

abrieckinthewall · April 2011

I really want to get ours engraved with the following....

Mine will say TMP

ENH

and his ENH

TMP

reason being we met working in an office where they assigned everyone intials for email addresses. and since I was just a temp I was TMP and of course the FI is enh.

kinmir30 · April 2011

I think I am going to get FI and I's rings engraved secretly......b/c I really want that a lot, and he hasn't really seemed into it.

FI calls us "the M&M connection" because both of our names start with M....and we are also planning on naming all of our kids M names, kind of coincidentally.

So I was thinking maybe I could get our rings engraved with "M&M 4ever" .......or something along those lines.....maybe just "M&M connection" but that seems long... I think I need some inspiration on this also!
