Absence of Mind and Body

I do apologize for my absence from the blog. I have been so busy with life, I finally have a chance to catch my breath. So for the past few weeks, I've had a very exciting project that I got to help out with. My friend was getting married and asked my dad to take the engagement and wedding pictures, so I got to be my dad's assistant/ co-photographer and got the shoot the happy couple. I did most of styling and the picture set up such as posing and mostly made sure that the bride looked her best. It was loads of fun, but very tiring, each shoot took an average of five hours, my Tom's were my trusty shoe that keep me comfortable through out the day and it almost felt like a dance shoe since it was so comfortable. I was basically busy with that for about two or three weeks, because not only did I help shoot the pictures, I also helped with the editing process as well. Then as my wedding present to the couple, I offered to choreograph their first dance, since that's more my department. So that took me a few days in the studio coming up with a dance for a couple that never danced before. After countless hours spent going back and forth from home to Pasadena, once the wedding arrived they were prepared and it went beautifully. As saturday rolled around the corner and before we knew it, it was the day of the wedding! The wedding photography was a family affair, my dad and my brother did the picture taking, my mom did the posing/ making sure every single hair was in place on the bride, and as for me I conducted the crazy photo session post ceremony. The madness.
Other than that, my cousin came home from London. Which meant hanging out and eating out, alot. Which is always fun, and we did a lot of laughing and catching up to burn off maybe half of the calories of what we ate.

Aside from that, I've been head over heels in love with this brand of bath products, LUSH! If you don't know who they are, they are a company that sells beauty and bath products, but the reason I love them aside from their amazing bath products, they are super eco-friendly and environmentally conscious. Meaning that most of their products if not all are organic and vegan. They help with different organizations around the world that help with enviro problems, such as the polar bears that are dying due to the global warming. Since earth day is right around the corner (I love earth day, aside from the major holidays, this has to be my favorite non-popular holiday) I just wanted to share with you some of my favorite products that I recently bought.
*Look for the Earth Day post on thursday*
The first product I tried out of the stash of products I bought at LUSH was:
Bath Bomb in Sex Bomb

-I loved the pink color, but aside from that, it was super fun watching the bomb float around and fizz and left my skin super soft and left a subtle perfume on my skin.
Next was the Massage Bar in Therapy

-Super creamy and not very oily. Left my skin super soft and it smells really good, fresh, it's good.
Then the Toner Tab in Tea Tree

-I have mixed feelings about this one, maybe it was because I didn't get the water hot enough. But you have to fill a bowl with hot water, get a towel, put your face over the bowl and then cover the bowl and your face with the towel. I guess it was good, but really, nothing too special. My face felt softer, other than that it wasn't anything special.
My brother is using the Fresh Farmacy Cleanser
-He said it was ok, nothing too crazy. He said he started to break out a little so maybe for his skin its not that great. He likes the smell of it, at least that's something.
I also bought:
Bath Melt in You've Been Mangoed
Soap in Sexy Peel
Shampoo (it's a solid, super eco-friendly!) in Squeaky Green
I'll keep you guys posted on how these work, but go try it out and tell me what you think.

I'll post pictures from the photo shoots I went on as soon as I upload them. And keep your eyes peeled for my Earth Day post, I'm going to try to see how eco-friendly I am and see how I can change my everyday life to be eco-friendly
