WHEW- it is officially freezing now…how can it be 80′ on Christmas Day and just a few weeks later so cold!!? Luckily, the day I did this particular shoot last week it was a mild 64′, so I actually enjoyed being outside.  A couple of comments about this post…this was the first time I worked with the lovely ladies at Cucumber & Mint Spa & Salon here in Augusta, GA. I was blown away by their talents –I came in with my hair in a bun from running errands and they were able to turn it around!  Plus, Crystal and Jen are two of the nicest people I have met in Augusta and are a pleasure to be around! They also have skin care services, massage therapy,  and bridal hair and makeup. They are conveniently located in Surrey Center –stop by and see their gorgeous and modern salon-spa! 

More About the Ditto “Endless Eyewear” Program:

I recently found this fabulous eyewear company that is similar to “Rent the Runway,” but for sunglasses and glasses. Here is how it works: When you sign up, you choose a pair of sunglasses (usually rental is $24/month) and then send them back whenever you want and exchange them for a new pair; you can keep them for a week or for months at a time–as long as you have an active membership. If you like them, you can purchase at a 15% member discount or just send them back and choose a new pair for the next month! All of the sunglasses are “designer” — I am wearing their Zac Posen sunglasses for this post (see above). If you decide you want to try it, you can get your first month FREE by entering the code: “BLOOMGIRLBLOG” in the sign-up process. Some of the designers they carry: Zac Posen, Prada, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Karen Walker, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Elizabeth & James, Givenchy, Jason Wu, and many others- check it out!  

Enjoy Your Day!
