I blinked, and the weekend disappeared. Thankfully, I found a couple of photos to remind me where all the time went…
Friday
This photo pretty much sums up my Friday night:
Just one of many shenanigans required in a scavenger hunt around downtown Richmond. No big deal.
Saturday
I spent the day at the Richmond Vegetarian Festival. For a full recap of that, head on over to Virginia Bloggers!
Sunday
I got to meet up with the lovely ladied behind Her Late Night Cravings, for a little Girls Night Out event at Sephora.
Mendi and Jayme are not just gorgeous, they’re also super sweet! It was nice to get to put faces to the blog 
I got my make up done by a sweet lady from Benefit. I was already planning on picking up some more Erase Paste, but I also grabbed some new mascara.
The Erase Paste is the best concealer I’ve found so far. Good coverage, easy to apply. And since I’m a mascara junkie, I decided to try this new one from Benefit “They’re Real” which really did make my lashes look huge. I think Dior Diorshow Mascara is still my favorite… but in the interest of not spending my entire paycheck on make up… Benefit is a better alternative for me. They also came out with a new pore refining cream, so I got a couple of samples to take home.
I try to keep my make up routine pretty simple, but concealer and mascara are two favorites that I can’t live with out!
In other (non food related topics), I’ve identified my next pinterest project:

How cute are those?! I found some mugs at the dollar store, so now I just have to decide what I want to write on them! I also need to practice my handwriting skills… *ahem*
What a fun weekend! And I love that DIY mug idea– so cute!
Ohhh–LOVE the Mug idea!!!!
I want to try that mug thing as well! Looks like you had a great weekend
I think if it works well, it would be a cool thing to do at our next blogger party!
The DIY mug ideas are very cute… I could see doing that with the kids I babysit, with a bit different style messages of course
We’re so happy that you joined us last night!! We loved having the opportunity to meet you & we’d love to get together again sometime soon.
Great Benefit purchases…the “They’re Real” mascara is in our top two all-time fave mascaras!!
I love the DIY mug idea. My mug would definitely say “She loves tea.”
Hope you have a wonderful week!
Mendi @ Her Late Night Cravings
I am surely going to give the cup to someone cute! Great Idea! Thanks. Next stop dollartree.com lol.
Hahaha I love the dollar tree!
I saw those mugs too! I would put a quote since I love so many of them!!!
Those are cute mugs..I’d put Shannon..haha kidding ;-P
I’d write my husband’s to do list for the day..ha!
Hahaha thankfully I don’t have to worry about Sharpies autocorrecting
What a great weekend! Glad you had so much fun! And girl, I hadn’t seen that on Pinterest yet! I love how simple it is!
I, too, love Benefit’s erase paste! It’s a lifesaver. Adorable craft with the DIY mugs. Let us know how it turns out!
What a cool mug idea!! And sounds like you had a great and busy weekend
I saw those mugs on pinterest and I really want to make them! But my writing and artistic skills are nowhere near the picture haha
The sharpie thing is so cool! It’s unfortunate I already have like 15 mugs… because oh the things I would say…
Hahaha maybe you can just add to the mugs you already have
Love the group bathroom shot, haha. And hmm, my mugs are all part of my “ugly mugs” collection–I’d just have to draw something really ugly on it. Which sums up my artistic drawings skills, so it wouldn’t take much effort
Love mascara talk! I have an ongoing list of brands to try
And the mugs? Darling!! Great for a gift idea!
Love the mug idea, so cute!
Funn weekend! Those mugs are adorable, thanks for spreading the idea…
I’m thinking it would be so fun for the next blogger party! Stay tuned
I totally need new mascara so thanks for the suggestions…I find mascara is tough to find one that is perfect. That mug idea is the cutest. I’m already thinking of gift ideas….
Fun weekend! You did so much! A scavenger hunt, a vegetarian festival, a semi-makeover… I agree that the best mascaras are the high-end retailers’, but that ain’t always pretty on the budget. I’ll have to check out sephora’s options!
I haven’t been to Sephora in ages! Looks like you had a good time! Those are some awesome mugs, I can’t wait to see what you draw on yours when you do it!
The mugs are such a cute idea!
Benefit Erase Paste is awesome I heard! And I love the mugs!! I would probably put a Bible verse or something about how mornings are like a fresh start
That’s a great idea, Ali!!!
No better way to start the day!
Alright so yea I gotta try that Dior mascara, thanks for the rec!! Mugs are superrrrcute, <3
A scavenger hunt sounds like such a great idea for a night out, love it! I love Benefit make up too, especially the bronzer, blusher and liquid eyeliner… and those mugs are so cool
Can you introduce me to those cute boys on your scavenger hunt team? Thanks.
Loveyoubye.
Hahaha come hang out in Richmond, and I’d be happy to
I hope the mug thing works for you. I don’t know what I’d put on mine. Perhaps, “I like it hot” or something a little more steamy. (I have the maturity of an 8th grader sometimes…)
Hahaha I love it!!!
Totally jealous of your weekend. I freaking love scavenger hunts. They are always filled with crazy shenanigans. Totally want to come to that vegfest. I’m jealous. We had one in Austin, but I had some awful mandatory community service for a student organization the same day and times.
So I totally pinned those mugs on pinterest. Great minds think alike!
Sephora kind of scares me! I know nothing about make-up and have been using the same products since I was in high school. But since one of the only things I wear is mascara, I’ll have to check out that Benefit one.
I picked up the Naked 2 palette from Sephora that evening! I love the coffee mug idea
