Joy

More bouquet making practice and much joy because we are off to Wales this weekend to see our friend Den and her dog, Magic. I love Spring.

With lots of weddings (four, including our own) and other special occasions to attend this year, I've been learning how to do my own makeup. There are lots of useful tutorials on the web and there are things that I've learned that I wish I'd known perhaps 10 years ago.

• Sali Hughes is the makeup guru from the Guardian, with honest and up-front advice
  
• Clinique has some easy tutorials for day and night looks
• and I still like Michelle Phan's oldschool videos from Youtube.

See you in a while, with some photos from Wales! Have a great time this Easter.
