Pin Up Look of the Month #5 Bernie Dexter!

June is finally here! Here is the look I choose for
the fabulous Bernie Dexter!

I didn't go all out for the look, I just kept it more wearable! Also, forgive my terrible acne & dry skin. This is what traveling does to your skin. It's no bueno!
Also, I am extremely sorry for the short video & having to redo
it. My camera died. I hope me, walking you guys through what I did was enough!

Our First Summer Road Trip of 2012

As most of you may know from my youtube, my husband & I went up to our home state Washington for
his best friends wedding as well to adventure, & see family!
I thought I would share a few pictures in order of how the trip went.
I also didn't vlog at all when we were in Eastern Washington, where I grew up. Because
we were so BUSY with family & friends since we were only there for two days!
BUT! I will do move vlogs when we go back up in August. So no worries loves!
Now onto the pictures...

Leaving Wyoming bright & early! Good old 4 am!
Finally hit Utah! After five hours of Wyoming.
Beautiful red rock in Utah!
Myself! Enjoying the sunshine.
Hit the rain, that's when you know you're in the Pacific North West!
Pacific North West Mother-fudgers!
Finally hit the Columbia River, so beautiful.
Alex & his bestfriend/cousin Ty! Reunited! So sweet!
Best Chai Tea I have ever had! At Astoria's Coffeehouse!
& Of course Alex had to dip is finger in it. Hahaha.
Beautiful Seaside,Oregon
Some nature shots from my husband's hometown & Ty's parents
backyard. Yes, in the Pacific North West we have forest for
our backyards!




Myself, exploring. Then I saw a bobcat. No joke. I literally 
walked as fast as I could back to the house!
Our cousin's 50s atomic star counter top. I fell in love! I'm going to
do a house tour next time I'm up there. They have a super cute shabby chic
vintagey home! Of course we have to get a ring shot!
On our way to Long Beach!
Long Beach was super windy & cold. So I didn't vlog it.
I will in August though when it's a lot warmer.
Best Clam Chowder ever. At Castaway's Restaurant in Long Beach, Washington.
I regret not vloging in Long Beach. But it's all good! 
Leaving the ocean.. Cape Disappointment in the distance.
Gonna hit it up in August.
Wedding Time..
Hubby showing how to stand in "parade rest"
Such a handsome hubby I have!
Hubby & I
A Very Simple & Shabby Chic Wedding Set up!

I didn't want to post any other pictures from the wedding, just because
I didn't know if the bride or groom would like me to show the world their
wedding. So yeah, please understand that much!

Bonfire Celebration time!
Clovers!

The beautiful lake!
The fire!
Us!
Our last night on the coast of Washington..
Now onward to Eastern Washington!
Beautiful Rimrock Lake, gonna do
some camping up there in August with friends!
Another picture of Rimrock!

I didn't really vlog or take a lot of pictures in Eastern Washington.
We didn't have a lot of time, only two days! But in August I'll for surely vlog
& take tons more pictures & show you guys where I grew up in August!
Here are some family & friends pictures, as well as one picture as we were leaving 
my hometown.

Reunited & it feels sooo goooodd! My best friends!
Oh! Uncle Al & our niece Gracey!
Had to hit up my favorite coffee shop in my hometown! North Town!
Leaving my hometown, nothing but orchards! I'll 
def' take more pictures in August!
I didn't really feel like taking pictures along the the way home,
I was exhausted, & my camera had a low battery! I apologize!
Here is a cafe we had a late lunch/dinner at! 
Ox-Bow Cafe in Bliss, Idaho. 
I really wish that I had taken pictures of the inside.
It was very shabby chic country & 50s diner. It was cute!

That was the last photo I took. We had a long six hours more
of driving! So yeah! I hope you enjoyed all the pictures & tiny vlogs
I did along this trip.
Next time in August I'll be vlogging a lot more!
And taking tons of more pictures!

I am so sad our little vacation was over, August can't come fast enough!

My take on Vintage Half Moon Manicure

I hope everyone enjoyed my vintage half moon nail tutorial & my take on the nail design.
It was very popular from the late 1930s to early 50s, I believe!
Dita would be proud! At least I hope she would be! Hehehe.

As I said in the video I could not remember for the life of me what these were
called, I called them three different things throughout the video. Opps!
The correct term/what they are called:
AVERY Reinforcement Labels!
Work like a charm if you want puuurfect half moons.
But for myself and other who don't have those on hand
and want to create the vintage half moon manicure, this is what I use!
Scotch Tape is our friend!!!
What you need:
Red Polish (For the Classic Pedicure, if you don't have a red
or if you don't like red, you the color of your choice)
Top coat
Tweezers
Nail File
Scissors
Q-Tips
You will also need, but is also optional:
Nail Polish remover 

Kinda of messy, with some q-tips & some nail polish remover
should do the trick!
Anndddddd
DONE!!

Hope you all enjoyed & helped you with some tips & pointers
on how to do your own vintage manicure!
