November - Boy Behind Mrs. Laura Beth

I would love to welcome my Husband to the Blog. This is part of the Boys Behind The Blog Series, so I sat down on Saturday afternoon and asked Steven some questions.  

1. Who is your favorite band/musician?

My husband is a lover of music. He blew threw $30 in iTunes gift cards in less than 5 minutes last week. He listens to a huge variety, and says some favorites of the moment are: Blake Shelton; Imagine Dragons; Journey and Daughtry. We could have stayed on this question for hours and he would never run out of artists! 

2. What was your first CD/tape?

"I have no idea, maybe When The Sun Goes Down by Kenny Chesney" 

3. Who was your first concert?

"Garth Brooks with Mom and Stacy at the Fargodome" I'm so jealous of him … I love Garth!

4. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?

"All of it" I made him expand on this a little bit so these are some of his 'must haves' - cheesy hash-browns, stuffing, gravy, cheesy green bean casserole! This is making me super hungry, I can't wait for Thursday!

5. Finish the sentence: I am thankful for…

"Fantasy Football, Beer, and my Laura Beth!"

I'd like to thank my hubby for answering these questions with very little fuss, I love you sir!

Lash By Ash

Have you ever seen a woman and said "Oh her eyes are so beautiful" or "I want her lashes"?! I don't think it is just me, a persons' eyes are one of the first things I notice and I know eyelash envy is not something only I have! 

A few months before my wedding one of my good friends told me she was going to start a new business … Applying Eyelash Extensions. My response was probably something like "oh interesting, good for you" not really knowing what it was {why couldn't she be a masseuse or something?!} or if I would ever go to her for it. Yep, little did I know how many women got false lashes  and as a result how many more people I questioned {especially celebs} if their lashes were real or not! 

As Lash by Ash {name of her business} was taking off, Ashley said I needed them for my wedding {I was very hesitant} and she thought my bachelorette party would be the perfect test run to see if I liked my look with them. I FELL IN LOVE! They made my eyes pop, were so beautiful {not fake looking} and my hubby's brown eyed girl was STUNNING!

I recently got my lashes done again right before my best friend's wedding and fell in love all over again. This time I brought my camera and did some before and afters. 

Ashley owner of Lash by Ash now has her own store front and she has put so much of her heart and soul into this place and I am so proud of her! It is amazing, the decor and ambiance make you feel so classy and beautiful then you get to walk out of there even more stunning than you were when you walked in. Ashley does such an amazing job and I'd recommend her 1000 times over! 

If you don't live in our area, well then it kinda sucks to be you because she is the best! My advice, though, find someone in your area and try these out because you will LOVE the way the lashes make you look and how easy they are. When I can wake up and already look like I curled and put mascara on that makes my morning routine so much easier! 

Please check out her site for more info on lash extensions

Vlog Like A Boss

I did it, I vlogged. If you are unfamiliar with that very odd word, it refers to video blogging … someone was just clever and combined the two words. My lovely friend over at Always Ashten has created Vlog like a Boss and I finally decided to link up. I'm thinking this is horrible so please leave me some feedback and let me know if you would like to see more vlogs on Mrs. Laura Beth.

If you Don't want to hear me talk … Here is a quick recap:

Cheers Friends!

Currently I'm watching The Hunger Games in preparation for Catching Fire tonight! I'm so excited for this second movie but really wish I could have had time to reread the book. 

Although I could sit and talk about this series all night that isn't the purpose for this post. 

My lovely friend Casey has started a great link up. A way to show encouragement instead of negativity. Blogging should be something fun and enjoyable so here are a few of the people I want to say Cheers to! 

First to Casey for coming up with this brilliant idea. She also has become such a great friend and someone I'm honored to know in Blogland. {Click Here For Casey's Blog}

Second to my Fellow North Dakota girl Samantha. Although our paths never crossed and we went to college in the same town I'm so glad to have found her in Blogland and have the possibility of a blate at the lake {I can't wait}. Also so glad she is okay as she was in an accident this past weekend. {Click Here For Samantha's Blog}

My last cheers of this week is to the boys at The Young & Brave Foundation. These guys have started a nonprofit for the benefit of young people with cancer. "Always LOVE" has become their battle cry because with LOVE, absolutely anything is possible! {Click Here to visit The Young & Brave Foundation}

Please go check out these lovely people above and excuse me while I go cheer Katniss on! 

"May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor"

Now Link Up With Casey & Share Some Cheers Not Jeers!
