primp for a cause!

TGIF! This weekend Miss Litvin and LVT will be primping and polishing the young ladies of Settlement Home Austin via the good people at Austin Involved for their annual Quinceanera party! The Settlement Home for Girls is a residential treatment center therapeutic foster home for girls ages 7 to 18.  The girls have been removed from their families due to violence, neglect and abuse.  Since 1916, the Settlement Home has been providing support and care for these girls as they heal from traumatic childhood situations. We are sooo excited to have this opportunity to be part of a wonderful cause all whilst giving makeovers and gabbing with teenagers! Love it! Tonight we are heading over there to give manicures -never done that before but I've gotten plenty so I figure that makes me an expert. Then tomorrow we will be doing hair and makeup prior to the Quinceanera in addition to setting up and escorting the girls to the party. This is going to be so much fun for everyone involved! I plan on taking lots of pictures and posting very soon.

Thinking of manicures reminded me of the new TEXAS collection OPI has come out with. As always they have thought up the cleverest of names- "It's Totally Ft. Worth It", "Don't Mess with OPI", "San Tan-Tonio"-cute right?! The colors range from bright pinks/reds which speak to the glamour of the Texas woman, to burnt oranges, rich nuetrals and stone tones which whisper Balmorhea, Ft. Davis Mountains and Alpine areas.  Do any other states have a whole nailpolish collection devoted to them? I know some countries have been honored with such but no other states as far as I know. Although I like to consider Texas a country but thats for another post....
