Carnival Checklist..

It is officially the first day of the new year for me, after a long 3 month vacation from work it is back to the office today and Carnival preparation in full swing for the next few weeks!

As usual I have my checklist of stuff that needs to be done and even though I had zero Carnival 2010 vibe in the latter half of 2009, I am feeling the vibes big time... I cannot WAIT to see my costume!

If you are not 80% ready by now you need to get cracking!

Monday Boots – Check
Tuesday Boots – Check
Monday Wear – Check
Accessories – Check
Hair – Check
Make up by Missy for Monday - Check
Makeup Appointment  for Tuesday– Check
Fletch Dry Powder – Check


I have one brand new pair of tights so just need to get a couple more as well as to book my eyelash appointment and the only reason I have not done so as yet is because I am torn between doing individual extensions or the extreme lash.

So pretty much I have most things covered, the major thing I really need to do is pay off for my costume in full before the fast track deadline, even though last year it did not matter whether I paid for my costume in advance or not as collection was a breeze (there was no one ahead of me!).

I still have a few pounds to lose (as always) and right now I am testing out Slim Shots, will give you my review post Carnival.

How is your Carnival preparations going? Got your ticket? Hotel? Or even a COSTUME?

1 month and 10 days to go!
