I'm Amy, and I love to plan and design events! Weddings, parties, corporate events - whatever the occasion, I love to make it fabulous. Thanks for stopping by! It's nice to meet you!
Labor Day. The official holiday marking the end of summer. One last hurrah for picnic blankets and berry filled desserts. As we say farewell to summer, I've begun to look ahead at the bounty of autumn. It's just around the corner! Can you hear the crunch of dry leaves underfoot? See the golden beauty of a flaming maple tree? Smell the scent of warm cinnamon and apples or pumpkin and nutmeg?
As you plan and organize, gather and select, take some time to pamper yourself this Fall. Of course, most girls like to do the professional spa treatment before their big day, but you can begin an at-home regimen to get that soft, supple skin and radiant glow that every bride desires. Here are a few D-I-Y beauty recipes that I thought you might enjoy. (They also got me in the mood for autumn with their harvest inspired ingredients!)
