We hear it all the time “Dress for success” right? We all know this applies to work but how can it apply to a marriage? I think it can in a few different ways.

#1 This one is the obvious way, don’t always be in sweats. I’m not saying you have to dress up and look perfect, I’m not even saying you have to do this everyday. But once in a while make an effort to put yourself together. We made such an effort when we were dating and on our wedding day, what happened after we said ‘I Do?’

#2 Dress yourself with the right attitude. How you choose to react to your spouse is up to you. Make sure you approach problems, confrontation, and reprimands with a respectful and loving attitude. Also be excited to see your spouse, its nice to come home to a warm greeting.

#3 ‘Dress’ your bed. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but have you ever noticed how nice it is to walk into your bedroom with the bed looking good? I don’t think I have to tell you where this might lead…

I had some great pictures of the hubby and I getting ready for the wedding that I thought I uploaded last night. However when I got to work they weren’t there I’ll add them tonight.

So at least once a week I hit snooze one to many times….I’m sure I’m not the only one. Anyway there are days when I only have 15-20 min to get ready and I find that putting on my make-up is what makes or breaks my timetable. So I thought I would show you my staples, what I use when I’m in a hurry. As I’ve mentioned before I’m in the process of switching to greener more natural makeup, but I’m not going to just throw out what I have that would be a major waste. So I’m using it up.

~ Take your shower the night before and let you hair air dry. Then the next morning it will only take 1/2 or none of the electricity to style it since you only have to use the flatting iron or curling iron instead of also using a blow dryer. If you put your hair up every other day like I do you don’t use any (second day hair!)

~While we are on the subject shower everyday if you must but only wash your hair every other.

~Use bar shampoo and soap instead of traditional store bought. Less ingredients, plastic and better for your skin and hair! My current fav is the Vanilla Buttermilk Bar from Apple Valley Natural Soaps it leaves my skin silky. I haven’t switched to shampoo yet because again I’m trying to use up what I have.

~ Use a green make-up I’m seriously loving the Everyday Minerals base and eye shadow.

~If you still like to go to the counter and purchase, consider MAC they have a back to MAC program where you can return 6 of their primary packaging either to the store or mail in and get a free lipstick!

~Here is the easiest one of all, turn off your water while you brush your teeth.

Well that is all I can think about for now, let me know if you have any green hints for me.

Using this weeks You Capture theme I took a few more pictures for my 100 Possibilities Project. (for more about this project and my past pictures click here.)

I moved in to my house the end of May last year….I didn’t even know I had this bush. It just kind of appeared this year and boy is it pretty. Does anyone know what kind it is?

This is my favorite, I like the variety of colors and the contrast. I also like it because I can look at it and see what I should of corrected. The shoe on the right should have been angled a little more so you could see more of the shoe. This means I’m learning!!!
Before I cut the grass.

The shoes don’t have to be the focus of the picture, again I’m learning. Plus look at my pretty flower box!
