Benefit Beauty Bash!

Back in the fall, I entered my first facebook contest. It was for Benefit cosmetics. Well believe it or not, I won! The prize was a private party for me and 8 of my friends at the Benefit store in Berkeley. So I rounded up the troops from Nor Cal and So Cal and we all marched in for a fabulous time this weekend!

We were each given a service of our choice- eyelash tinting, eyebrow tinting or eye brow waxing/threading. I was a bit overzealous and went for both the eye lash tinting (I now have eye lashed that you can see!!!! I don't really have to wear mascara! woo hoo!) and eyebrow tinting (yay! no more eyebrow pencils!!!). We then got a full makeover along with enjoying wine (haha heather!!) and hors d' ouerves (spelling?). We had such a blast! (see pictures by clicking here)
Afterwards we headed out to dinner at a cute little american bistro called Venus and then on to a Dance Club in Walnut Creek called Vice.

Heather and Shauna took off after dinner to get home as heather was a little under the weather ;), but didn't end up getting home so quickly because they ran out of gas about a mile from my house!!! After numerous calls to only a handful of people they knew in the area, they finally tracked down Aaron, who came out and "saved them". Quite a night and one that we all remember for a very long time!

A Full New Home!

After Thanksgiving day, Aaron and I headed up to the Temecula Area to visit some of the girls from APU. Sara had brought Isabella down from Canada, and the day we arrived, so did her husband Matt. We had such a good time with everyone! Matt and Aaron took off one day, to hang at a local brewery (Aaron is brewing his own beer, and take a great interest in how other places do all that stuff) and Shauna, Sara, Isabella and I took to a little pre-Christmas shopping! Spending time with each other was so wonderful, and continues to remind of us of why we are all friends, and have stayed friends almost 5 years after college graduation.
The other reason we took a detour up to the Temecula area was becuse Shauna had just bought a new house!!! How exciting!! She has worked so hard these past 5 years and it has finally paid off. She is now the owner of a beautiful two story- four bedroom- two & a half bath- home, and has it fully outfitted!!! What a joy it was to get to share in the new step of her life, and her totally blessed home!
