Motherhood is hard, makeup doesn't have to be.
I simplify makeup for busy moms.

Allow me to change your life…

Girls. 
All joking aside, I was introduced to a fab little teasing brush that you need to know about. 
Umm. I’m Obsessed. Sweet little Sarah sent it to me in the mail. All wrapped up perfectly. 
HOW did I not have this before? I feel like I have been living a life of poof mediocracy.
I needed a quick ponytail this morning, and with this little guy I was able to do this in two seconds as I was running out the door. Something about it creates a fab poof without a lot of work. 

Go get ya one.
Iiiiiin other news, This weekend I participated in Race for the Cure with my Jami, we had so much fun! 
Loved seeing all the pink everywhere, obv. Afterwards we headed to Ramsey’s for breakfast and cocktails
Post morning happy hour, I had to kick it into gear and get ready for a wedding in FORTY MINUTES. 
No small feat, but somehow I pulled it off. And I am happy to announce, I do believe this was my last wedding of 2011. 
Shew. What a season. 
{Dress is from Francesca’s, and my date would be Keith 🙂 }
And last but certainly not least, since this is the most random, and disorganized post of all time, did y’all catch the shopping spree our two girls Rosie and Sophia Grace went on? 
Hysterical. 
“I literally can’t believe it…”
“I need a new suitcase… DEFINITELY”

    I have that teasing brush…it's the bomb!

  6. Lindsey says:

    I think those two need a reality show. I could watch them all day long!

    I have a teasing brush too and it is the best purchase I have ever made!

  7. Marcy XOXO says:

    Must look for that teasing brush!!! I already told you that you looked gorgey LOL and I LOVE those little girls! So adorbs!

  8. I am still practicing the Kentucky Poof & it's looking better & better! PS if Ellen doesn't adopt Rosie & Sophia Grace then I will. Those girls are adorable!

  9. Miss K says:

    love your dress you wore to the wedding, it looks fabulous on you!!

    i bought that brush from my hair salon a few months ago, i don't care for it though. I think it depends on what type of comb/brush you use to tease already, and the type of hair you have. I have really fine hair and prefer a comb or pick for my tresses.

  10. Oh my gosh- that video has me in tears! Too funny! I have one of those poofing brushes -amaze! I hear that they are less damaging on your hair since it takes fewer strokes to get the same results. Geniuses!

    Xo.

  11. Camille says:

    I need to find this teasing brush ASAP! Your poof looked so effortless!

  12. Angie says:

    OMG…I love that dress!! LOVE! Thanks for the tip on the teasing brush…I must go get one.

  13. I am desperately trying to rock the poofy ponytail almost every day of my life but can never seem to get a good enough bump without it being messy. How do you get it so smooth??

  14. abogdash says:

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress!! Went to their website and unfortunately couldn't find it 🙁 But you look gorgeous in it!!

  15. Marjorie says:

    I love all of the products you recommend! BTW-I saw you talking about foundation stippling brushes below. I have MACs version and love it (a little pricey though)!

  16. Jill says:

    Ummm I just ordered one of those brushes from amazon annnnddd I want to hit Francesca's for the dress. You bring so many wonderful products/finds to my life…what would I do without you?! 🙂

  17. shay says:

    Also. I love that the ONLY time Rosie says ANYTHING is at the very end. Such a sweet/silent sidekick she is. 🙂

  29. Catherine says:

    First, you are gorgeous! I am going to have to invest in one of those teasing brushes b/c I hardly ever wash my hair, and I could benefit from that sucker! Have a great day!

  30. Whitney says:

    Love your dress!

  31. Cute dress! And I want to know about Keith!! Friend? Maybe more than a friend? xo

  32. Kristine says:

    There is seriously nothing better than mimosas… okay, there might be a few things that are better but those drinks are in close range to being at the top of the BEST THINGS EVER list.

  33. stylemefab says:

    These little girls are hilarious! They need their own show!

  34. Rissy says:

    I love you for having not so thick hair like me… that way I know that when you say the brush is fab, it in fact is.

    That pic of you girls standing by the truck is sooo adorable!

    WOO HOO to the end of wedding season in '11. Do you even have friends left to get married in '12?

    Is you're dress from Francesca's from this season? I'm absolutely obsessed with navy and pink not I'm on the hunt! Too cute! xo

  55. Kayla says:

    HI! I am just a reader.. no blog… yet! : ) I think I might have just found my inspiration though! You are so funny, and so freakin' cute! I am a deployed Army soldier and sometimes it gets pretty boring where I am. Your blog will definitely be my entertainment for the remainder of my time here. I work with a bunch of Army boys and they caught me reading.. this is their exact quote, "Carrie Underwood has a blog now? She is so HOT!" Thought you would enjoy that : ) Anyways, keep being funny, PinkLouLou. Know that you are appreciated even on the other side of the world in a war zone! : )

  56. Katy says:

    No matter how hard I tease, I can never get my poof so pofferific.
    You're fabulous!!!!

  64. Raven says:
