Has everyone been watching The Bachelorette? I always get so into those shows.
And I kind of have a girl crush on Emily.
I think its funny when girls say they hate Emily.. I mean thus far she has not given any reason whatsoever to not like her. She is gorgeous, sweet, such a good mom, down to earth. What is not to like?
I think girls just have a problem liking girls like Emily that are gorgeous and also nice, good people.
Like, Angelina Jolie. You can absolutely not deny that she is stunning. She just is. Sure she stole Brad from our girl Jen but still.. She, for the most part, seems like a quality person and is also amazingly gorgeous. But still, girls will say, “I don’t even think she is that cute”
Well if Angelina isn’t cute, than I don’t know what that makes me!
Why do girls insist on tearing each other down? I hate it. And yet, I am sure I am part of the problem. Its like when a pretty girl walks in the room we either A. instantly hate her, or B. instantly know you guys can be best friends.
You know its true.
I have to remind myself sometimes that acknowledging other people’s accomplishments, beauty, talents, etc. will not take away or diminish my own talents, beauty, etc.
We all have beauty and talents in our own unique way and if we all hate each other or envy each other for it, we will be very unhappy people.
Also isn’t it kinda funny how we sometimes wonder what people would look like without make up on? Or we think, “well yeah she is pretty with make up on, but I bet you she isn’t without it on”
We have all thought that at one point in our lives.
Brunettes are lucky because when they take their make up off their eyebrows and lashes dont disappear!
My eyelashes and brows are both very light. I have always been terrified to dye my eyebrows though because I never wanted them to look too dark especially with my blonde hair…
But I went to my girl Allison today for a brow wax and she talked me into dying my eyebrows…
I AM OBSESSED!!!!
It makes my brows look SO much thicker (I love thick, shaped eyebrows) and totally frames my face a million times better!!
Are you guys ready to see me with absolutely ZERO make up on in natural, mid day, outside sunlight (the worst lighting for taking pics with no make up in my opinion)? Like literally nothing at all.. no powder, no concealer, no filters, no nothing.
Oh, and this is 5 min after a brow wax so underneath my brows its super red 
Yeah sooo I don’t have perfect skin… as you can see. I always have to work super hard to keep my face clear and smooth (which its not here), my lips are chapped and peely (kinda gross… sorry), my tan has faded, annnd my eye lashes disappear.
BUT for anyone who sees me regularly without make up on will know that my brows look thicker and darker!!! And I love em.
Thanks Allison

If any single boys are out there… my sis is single….. and gorgeous… and really smart. But I must approve of you first.
Love this post Amber! And you’re a beauty without makeup too!
Amber! Where did you get those shoes? So rockin.
Amber- first time commenting, but I’ve been stalkin your blog for a bit.
Love your style. I loved your thoughts about how girls treat each other, I can totally relate! It’s gotten easier now that I’m married, but it’s still a struggle. Just want to say you look GORGEOUS without makeup–why cover up those adorable freckles?? Think it should be a more frequent look. 
Amber I NEED TO PLAY WITH THAT RACCOON!!! I’m dying he’s adorable. And I’m brunette but my eyelashes still disappear!!
oh well, you look gorg!
Do you have any suggestions for preventing break outs because of humidity? I never had this problem when I lived on the West Coast and it was a dry heat. Now I am on the East coast and I find that everyday I get new tiny zits on my face and neck. i have never had this! I think it has to be from the humidity and sweating. Do you have any remedies or suggestions for avoiding breakouts from humidity and sweating?
How did you come across a baby racoon? Who’s is it??? I need one!!
I have the same Target kids top! I totally love the kid ones! Haha. And CHEAPER!
Your eyebrows look amazing!! I have naturally super dark eyebrows so I was afraid to go blonde but I think it really frames your face! Seriously eyebrows are ESSENTIAL. haha.
I so agree about Emily. I have to admit I was super relieved when I read she has had quite a bit of plastic surgery done though. No one could be THAT perfect naturally lol. But she is so sweet and a good mommy, and gorgeous! I wish you’d do a bachelorette recap!! I always loved yours and agreed with your thoughts.
Do you use self tanner? If so, what kind do you recommend? Love this post & I have a girl crush on Emily as well!
Bre- Thanks babygirl!! xo
Anonymous- I actually got them off zappos.com! they are my absolute fav!
Miss Australia- Sweetest thing ever… thank you so much
totally made my day. And I am glad you can relate with the whole girl thing! xo
Jackie- Oh my gosh he is the dang cutest ever huh?!?! He is Wes’s! You have to play with him!
Love- Ugh humidity is the worst huh?! Since it does get so humid it is a breeding ground for bacterias which is why most people break out! Make sure you are using a face wash that has Vitamin B, selenium, and/or zinc. Those all help to fight off fungi and bacteria!! And also I would try not to use a liquid foundation and switch to a mineral based powder foundation if you havent already!! Hope that helps! xo
Anonymous- It is my friends! He found two baby raccoons abandoned by their mom so he took them in! He is going to let them go shortly. Cute though huh?!
Erica- Oh my heck I am so mad it took me so long to figure this out! Haha so glad you discovered the trick too! Now I will only ever buy kids work out clothes!!
Lisa- AGREED! Eyebrows are essential for sure! And I know I was definitely happy to hear that her teeth are fake and she has had some work done! Its true, no one can be THAT perfect! I know I was going to do recaps but I got too much grief when I did that before.. wasnt worth all the hate mail
love you tons!
Cait- So glad we share the same crush!! haha and I do use a self tanner! I use a brand called Fake Bake and it is the only brand I will ever use! It is thee best! I use the lotion and the spray!! xo
Do you have any suggestions for a good face wash? I am so lost when it comes to things like this!!
Amen sister. It’s always great to meet nice girls. Kindness is magnetic. It really is the prettiest thing a girl can do for herself
Also, you’re gorge. Love your thoughts too – always so positive and light.
Love your blog!! What is your new app? The pics look great!!
Amber, I have been dying my eyebrows for a year and half now, and I wouldn’t go back! I agree, they make them look so much fuller, and it honestly brings out your eyes more. You’re definitely going to be obsessed now! Annnnnd you’re gorgeous with or without makeup
the sneakers are still available @ nine west.com http://www.ninewest.com/Lana/9509476,default,pd.html?variantSizeClass=&variantColor=JJ169I5_1&q=wedge%20sneaker&prefn1=catalog-id&prefv1=ninewest-catalog

I’m sorry, but any woman with eyebrows that dark isn’t a real blonde, and doesn’t look blonde. I think it looks tacky on a woman to have blond-colored locks, dark roots, dark eyebrows and dark eyelashes. She doesn’t look like a blonde or a brunette, but half-and half. The worst (most clashing colors) is when a woman has her hair dyed blonde and she wears fire-engine red lipstick to go with her black-framed eyes. Tasteless. Why is artificiality so highly prized by women today?
Well Ron, I am sure you have perfectly colored hair with the perfectly colored eyebrows and that is just fabulous for you! We all have different tastes and thats yours, its not mine. So I will go on living my life “tasteless” and you can go on living yours ridiculing people on public forums, okay?? Thanks! XO
