I’ve heard nothing but terrible things about eyelash extensions, but I’ve always been curious about how it works! I recently spoke with an eyelash extension company in New York that has been super helpful in letting me know in all the pros and cons of the process.

In a nutshell, I really LOVE my eyelash extensions and I will tell you why! Right off the bat, I…

Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already!

Marriage used to scare me… and it STILL scares me! In my fickle, free-spirited lifestyle, marriage is the most serious thing I’ve ever committed to. Of course, some things about our marriage aren’t what I had pictured —I don’t cook every night (or cook EVER), our place is a mess most…

I love slideshows! I love seeing baby pictures, the pictures of your awkward junior high days, the pictures of when you were the skinniest (typically in high school), and old family pictures. I knew exactly who was going to do our slideshow, because luckily, one of my friends is a very talented visual artist! I’ve seen him do slideshows in the past at friends’ weddings, and Mr.…

It’s been almost exactly 2 years since we’ve been married… eek! Back when I was planning my wedding, I knew I wanted to invest in a wedding video, but it was just not in our budget. If I wanted it done, I wanted it done WELL, and professionally! I’ve heard of so many brides regretting not having a videographer because they were so busy that day. Luckily,…

This past weekend I had the privilege of throwing a bridal shower and bachelorette party for a close girlfriend of mine! It’s been a while since I’ve actually been a part of the planning process, so it was really fun, even though half of us are sprawled all around the country! The thing I…

I never wanted to be one of those high-strung, whining, stressed out people that you felt nervous being around. I always thought of them as weak, annoying wimps who couldn’t take control of their own lives. Harsh–yes, but I’m just being brutally honest! However, as much as I hate to admit it, I think I’m becoming one of them. How do I know this? Well for starters,…

Weddingbee, this is how much I love you. I was going through all of my digital photos from my photographer, and I found some… not so nice pictures. Of course, I love candids, but some of these are weird and quirky… and not so pretty! But I will share them with you as a reminder, especially for you bride-to-bes, that the camera is ALWAYS watching…

I think this story should be funny by now, but I still can’t seem to shrug off this one very important, crucial part of our wedding…

The one moment of the wedding day that I was most nervous about was walking down the aisle. Don’t trip, don’t walk too fast, don’t take your eyes off the groom, and most importantly—try not to ugly-cry. And I remember…

Touchy subject! This is an issue that not a lot of women like to talk about because we really don’t ever want to admit that we are jealous. Being jealous sounds petty, selfish and so “below us”. However, I do think that people are a lot more jealous than we think! And I think it is quite normal, and okay for us to admit that we struggle with…

After getting some sudden inspiration from the ring pictures that have been posted, I decided to take out my 6-year-old Canon Rebel SLR and start shooting again. I never found much pleasure in taking pictures of people, but rather detailed shots of inanimate objects. (At least inanimate objects won’t shriek and run away!)

Here I am, fooling around with Christmas lights and crouching at our small windowsill!…

Back in LA, I was used to go to the salon for coloring, highlights and a perm every 3-4 months.  But living in New York with no job has left me unable to maintain my beauty expenses.  Soo…. I had to resort to my high school habits of dying my hair from a box.

I’m not sure if any of you have done this before, but…

It came to my attention yesterday that I never fully shared my experience with waxing. I am an avid Brazilian waxer. Yes. The Brazilian.  It all started when I misunderstood the foreign lady behind the counter and accidentally got a Brazilian instead of a regular bikini wax.  But the verdict? I loved it! It felt so clean, so fresh and I absolutely hate hair being…

I’ve never been a consistent “scrapbooker” mainly because it’s so time consuming and easily takes over my life. What starts out as a free afternoon turns into a 3AM mess of glue, cute paper and tiny scissors with no food, water or bathroom breaks. (Who’s with me on this?!)

I tried to finish our wedding scrapbook before our 1 year mark…. but I just couldn’t do…

A friend of mine introduced me to this site, where you can find pictures and videos of weird and unique types of weddings. (I think a lot of the videos were made up just for pure humor’s sake, but some of it is still shocking!) It’s true that every bride has their own special vision of their wedding…. so do whatever makes you happy, let…

When Mr. Caramel and I were dating, we talked about all the things we really wanted to do together as a married couple.  Instead of just saying “yes, I want to do that!”, I wanted to be the type of people who actually DO what they say they’re going to do!

Here are some of the things on the Caramel Bucket List:
