Wedding Blog

At times throughout our planning process, I have felt like I am on a little island alone emailing vendors, researching details, scheduling appointments, trying to adhere to our budget and timeline, worrying about everything. Ready.to.pull.out.my.hair. Understandably, I have gotten tired and frustrated.

A few times I have hit the wall and lost it. My fits (I’ll call them “bridal tirades”) haven’t been too severe, but let’s…

We’ve talked about a few of my more minor issues… but the biggest issue for me to face is one that affects every aspect of my health: my eating habits.

I’m a pretty healthy person in a lot of ways. I don’t smoke, I’m not a big drinker, and I try to make it to the gym 3-4 times a week. I do pretty well at…

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,…

Crap.

That’s how I feel.

I feel achy, have a sore throat, a runny nose, and sinus pressure.

So far today, I’ve had two glasses of Emergen-C, three cups of tea (two black, one herbal), two non-drowsy Benadryl, and a bunch of sore throat lozenges.

This is not a good time to be sick. Not only am I super busy at work, but I am supposed to jet off…

I’m ’bout to get real on ya. A new item has popped up on my list of concerns as I near my wedding day, and it’s got baggage.

About a year ago, I noticed a slight swelling in the ball of my right foot and saw a podiatrist, but he couldn’t find anything. A month or so ago I noticed it was worse, and there was…

Hi Hive!

I know I’ve been MIA lately, but with only a week until my wedding, there is so much I want to share with you!

As you can imagine, the last few weeks before the wedding are filled with last-minute details and projects. And I had the perfect opportunity to tackle these tasks! My law school spring break was three weeks before the wedding–an entire week…

Hi everyone! I wanted to give you an update on why my posting has been so light the last week and will be for the next week or two. I am having surgery. Yep… it’s not the best timing, but something I need to do. Before I give you details, I think I might buy this necklace. This is just another example of how you can…

I’ve noticed that in a lot of places I’ve lived, eating healthy costs a lot more than eating unhealthy. Poultry and lean pork always costs more than fattier beef and pork cuts. Fresh vegetables cost more than instant mashed potatoes or boxes of mac and cheese. I know there are exceptions like tofu (always cheap and yummy) and frozen vegetables (the price has gone up),…

Like many people, I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. I’m 5’ 1.5″ (yes, the half inch is important) and at my heaviest, I was about 175 pounds. I’m sure part of it has to do with genetics, some with bad eating habits (lots of rice as a child), but a lot of it was because I didn’t work out much. I had asthma…

For the past couple of months I have been taking better care of myself and have been trying to prioritize my health and skincare (e.g. cutting out nasty habits like eating junk food and falling asleep with make-up on, increasing my workouts to every other day, and finally starting to take vitamins daily). I have been so busy worrying about myself (how vain!) that I…

Holy moly, y’all I lost 6 pounds! HooodeyHoooo!

I have long touted my obsession with spicing up Weight Watchers and making my wedding weight loss plan a way of life! Mr. Dragon and I have been eating more consciously for a couple of years, and now we are eating with a mind to be Hottie McHottersons for our wedding. For as long as I have been a blogger on Weddingbee, I have preached…

I know, I know. You’re all, “What the eff? Where’s weeks 4 and 5? Wha’ happen?”*

Well, I will tell ya. Not a lot of exercise, that’s what. But not without cause, my lovelies.

First, I was out of town for MaPo’s wedding. In week 3, I mentioned hoping to exercise a bit over the vaca, but no dice, mostly because I was running around like crazy…

… But I’m stuck with them for now. My eyes can only take a couple hours of contact wear before drying out. Then the excessive blinking begins. Unfortunately, my corneas are irregularly shaped (I have a mild form of keratoconus), thus, disqualifying me for LASIK and PRK, aka LASIK without the flap. While there are several contact brands available specifically catered towards dry eyes, only…
