Cutest Business Cards Evah

moo.com

 

'nuff said.

 

So, this isn't the best pic.  They don't have the dark outline.  It's just sitting on my desk.

 

Ok, but on to the important stuff. 

 

moo.com has what they call prinfinity.  Ooh aah...

 

 

 

So each business card can have a different picture!!!   So stinkin' cool!!! 

 

The quality of the card stock is amazing too.  Thick and fabulous feeling.  My cards were done using my Facebook Page.  So for each different image, I had to upload a new cover photo.  That sorta stinks because of course every time you upload a new cover photo, that gets published to Facebook.

 

All of my different designs.  The last one is the backside.

 

  But I love, love, love the Facebook layout on the front of the card!

And I love not having all that info that I always thought was pertinent.  I mean really, all anyone needs is your number and your email anymore. 

So these cards are amazing.  Go to moo.com to get yours!

 

gloMinerals Ballerina Eyeshadow Trio Tutorial

I love this trio!  When you need a fresh, clean look, this is the trio to go to.

  First, always start with eye primer.  Today I used Urban Decay's.

I also love gloMinerals Under Eye Primer ($24).  If I forget to use it, I can immediately tell!  It brightens your undereye area and reduces wrinkles.

Start with the lightest pink color and use the base brush and apply it to your entire eyelid.

Next use the angled eye brush and apply the gray color to your accent area.  It's so important to use the angled eye brush and blend, blend, blend!

Use your texture brush and apply the darkest pink to the base of your eyelid, just above your lashes. 

I love using my gloMicro Precision Eye Pencil in brown.  Apply it thicker at the outer corners and taper it in to about 1/2 across your eye.

Curl your eyelashes.  This is for real.  Curled eyelashes make you appear awake and your eyes appear larger.  Don't just curl them once.  Do it several times until you have your desired result!  Click here for my mascara tutorial.

Apply your mascara and voila!  Super beautiful eyes.

Rosepepper Cantina

For super yummy Mexican, head to East Nashville!  Rosepepper Cantina has a great atmosphere, is fun, and delicious!  

Love, love, love their margaritas, fajitas, chips and salsas (they bring 3 different salsas!), buffalo white cheese dip, the list goes on and on! 

East Nashville is such a great little area.  Lots of fabulous places right near each other!  We love going out there. 

Head over to Jeni's for some ice cream if you have room for dessert!

 

 

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Ready for the easiest smoothie evah?  I'm all for something quick and easy and we love peanut butter and banana, yum!!  I've raised my Precious's to know that peanut butter and banana sandwiches are called "King Sandwiches" because the King of Rock-n-Roll loved him some pb and banana! 

You need 8 oz milk, 1 banana, and 2 tablespoons peanut butter.  (adapted from fitnessmagazine.com)

 

Blend, blend, blend, and enjoy!

 

 

 

This is very filling, thick, and delicious!  It's even good if you make it and store it in the fridge for a while.  It's like a banana milkshake...

 

 

Hot Pink!

Have mercy!  I love me some Hot Pink!!  Located next door to The Puffy Muffin, how convenient...

 

One of my friends called this the best "stuff store" ever and I have to agree!!  They have EVERYTHING!!  Every price range, picture frames, home decor, wall hangings, wreaths, gifts, kitchen accessories, baby gifts, trays, candle holders, seasonal, and more...

 

 

Dear Lord, thank you that Hot Pink is not closer to my house or I would be broke and living in a cardboard box.  A very nicely decorated cardboard box...

 

 

If you can't find me, I'll be at Hot Pink!

For the best of the best in ice cream, you gotta go to Jeni's in East Nashville.
