So, some exciting news this week. My younger sister, Bailey, was selected as Homecoming Princess for the freshman class at our high school.

This is both good and bad.

Good because my sister is totally adorable and (sometimes) sweet so she deserves it.

Bad because ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SHE GETS THREE NEW HOMECOMING DRESSES!!!

Yes, you heard me right.

There are three events associated with homecoming this week—a parade/bonfire on Wednesday night, the formal Homecoming presentation at the football game on Friday night, and the Homecoming dance on Saturday night—and my spoiled brat little sister got a new dress for each event ! Craziness.

While the weekend revolved mostly around Bailey, I did manage to get a cute pink dress for myself and a new MAC foundation.

If you only utter two words again in your entire life, let them be HYPER REAL .

This foundation is lightweight and offers sheer coverage with a subtle pearly glow. So pretty!

I got it in NC400 (my skin is kind of dark) and I love it so much. (Don’t even think about borrowing it, Bailey!)

So, all our friends will be at our house this weekend getting ready for the Homecoming dance and I hope you’ll stop by. I have a special feature planned for Teen Corner—it’s going to be so much fun!

See you on Saturday!
