Wordlessish Wednesday| Leaving for NYC
I promise, I promise. BlogHer12 is almost here (and almost over) so we will go back to normal, adorable Paige blogging.
This is my packing list (and things to be printed/done before leaving) and also my husband's Honey Do list, which is more of a grocery list with a few reminders of things to do ;)
If you're heading to BlogHer12, "meet" me here!

Customer Service? What's that?
I'm just so irritated and upset that I need to share this with you.
Last Friday, I went to Ulta for an eyebrow wax. If there's one thing I treat myself to, it's a nice eyebrow wax. With BlogHer12 coming (and my Italian heritage/dark hair) I wanted the hairy caterpillars gone ;)
I walked into Ulta and was checked in by a stylist who was attending another customer while the waxer was busy talking. My waxer was wicked pleasant and did her job efficiently, or so I thought. Before I looked in the mirror to check her work, she had applied brow liner and concealer to hide the redness. I questioned one spot but was told it was just the shadow. I paid and headed about the rest of my day.
When I got home and washed my face, I was sad. I had just paid $20 for my eyebrows to be waxed and I was left with hairs all over the place and one spot entirely missed (the spot that I was told was just a shadow). I emailed Ulta Sunday morning because we were running around like crazy on Saturday. I never received a response to my email. I called on Thursday or Friday and was told I would receive a call from the district manager
I still haven't received a call so I called their 1-800 number back. At this point, they're emailing the DM AGAIN and will have that person call me. I don't have a name or number for the DM.
I am above and beyond irritated. This is an absolutely horrific customer service experience in my book and I will not be back to their store/salon. I will gladly travel the extra 20-30 minutes to go to Sephora in one of the other malls.
Hopefully I will have an updated post sooner rather then later for you lovely readers, but I do not have high hopes.

Wordlessish Wednesday| From This Moment On
Myohmy how 11 years have passed.
Happy (11th) Anniversary, Marc!
From high school to a proposal
Through a 6 year, 2 month, and 1 day engagement
And a surprise, early wedding gift.
Through thick and thin, you've been there through it all. And I couldn't have survived one moment without you.
From our first dance, to our last. I love you, from this moment on.
Happy (11th) Anniversary, Marc!

We had a very busy Saturday with traveling to southern New Hampshire in the morning then back-tracking 1.5 hours North to attend a wedding!
Our first stop was Canobie Lake Park for Marc's company's summer outing :) We didn't get to stay for too long which was a bummer but Paige had a BLAST.

Y3W| 2 Weeks Away.
How is this so close? Seriously?! I'll be arriving in NYC at 2:15 Friday morning, I'll get 4ish hours of sleep since I can almost guarantee I will not get any sleep on the train in.
At 7:30 AM, my day starts with a breakfast with GMC and I'm on the go until Sunday, when I heard home. If you see me, please remind me to eat something because the caffeine will cause me to twitch ;)
I'm so incredibly nervous to meet so many great bloggers and e-friends. I won't lie, I'm scared they won't like me once they meet me in person. Shannon gave me a great pep-text earlier today...which I was so grateful for.
I am very very lucky to be going to NYC this year. Make sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram to see the journey!
