Happily Ever Johnson: Surprise Bridal Shower

I knew my bridal shower was coming up soon but didn't know when it was. I was wondering how they would get me out of the house and dressed for my bridal shower because most weekends, you can catch me without makeup and in comfy clothes lol. Well my Maid of Honor texted me one day last week and asked what I was doing Saturday. I responded that if you count laundry then I wasn't doing much lol. She said that she found a day party in New York to go to and wanted to know if I wanted to go. I said sure, the guys were going for their tux fitting that day anyway. She said cool and said what time we were leaving. I was pretty excited because I haven't been to New York in a while. It was Saturday and it was such a nice day. Funny thing is, I brought an outfit to wear to my bridal shower and put it on just in case that day. Even if it wasn't going on, I was still going to wear it again lol. My maid of honor picked me up and on the way she said she had to stop and make payment at the venue where another event was going to happen. We stopped there and she ran inside then came back out and said the manager was going to be while and to come in a wait with her inside of sitting outside in the car. I said sure and when I walked in the room and everyone yelled "Surprise!" I was truly surprised and was expecting my shower to be at another venue lol. 




They got me good lol! My family and bridesmaids did such an amazing job with the shower, I loved everything! I was so happy to see everyone! Here are some pictures of the decor around the venue. There was even a Mimosa bar lol!




The cupcakes were so good!






We played a lot of fun games, ate, took pictures and just had a good time. I loved how my favorite color was throughout the venue and decor, even my bridesmaids were wearing pink! My fiance' and some of the groomsmen came towards the end and he helped open gifts with me!





It was such an amazing day and I'm so thankful to everyone who came out and helped throw the shower. I didn't want to be traditional and wear white to my bridal shower lol. I had to be different. I got my outfit from Macy's and shoes from Call It Spring. I did my own makeup as well. 



We are one month away from the big day and we're getting excited! I'm down to getting the small details together and making sure we have everything in place! Enjoy the week and see you guys Thursday!!

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY SEPHORA VIB HAUL??

Make Beauty Review*

Happy Friday beauty lovers! I hope you have been enjoying Winter again lol! I hope Mother Nature gets it together soon lol. Today I am bringing you another review powered by BrandBacker! *I was sent these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the reviews! *Powered By BrandBacker* I was pretty excited when I was picked for this campaign. I have tried a Make Beauty eyeshadow before and loved it. Honestly, I was expecting the samples to be a little bigger. I was a little disappointed in the lipstick sample, it was hard to use. It kept breaking when I was trying to apply it. Make Beauty is a very new company to me that I was introduced to through Birchbox.  They have just about everything from eyeshadows to contour kits. They also have a line for skincare as well. Alabaster Eyeshadow This shadow on the Make Beauty site is described as a soft eggshell with peach undertones. This shadow is a matte and can be used as a brow

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over
