Every corner of Charleston is picture perfect, but this spot was one of my favorites from this trip 😍

Also I promise to never let this happen again for future trips 🤪 (Folly Beach & Salem coming soon!)

The temperatures were dropping this weekend so @breakfastatetiffany @simplybysimone and I headed up to Foxwoods for a Winter Girls Getaway to escape the cold ❄️

When we visited last Summer we kept saying we COULDN’T WAIT to come back in the Winter because everything you need for the perfect girls weekend - restaurants, bars, fun activities, THE SPA - are all under one roof and you don’t need to step foot outside! So we packed up and headed to Connecticut for the first cold weekend of 2023 and it didn’t disappoint!

My perfect favorites from the weekend were…
🧖🏼‍♀️Massages at @gspaatfoxwoods
🏮Dinner at @redlanternct
⛸️Ice Skating at the Winter Terrace

…but everything we did was so much fun and as always I can’t wait to go back! PS if you’re looking to book a trip NOW is the time! Book your hotel stay by March 10th to receive 20% off deluxe hotel room stays now through April 30 OR 30% off between May 1 and July 31!!

mark. Makeup Monday: Smokey Eyes for Prom

Living After Midnite-Jackie Giardina-mark. Makeup Monday: Smokey Eye
The Smokey Eye…the most requested prom look of all!

I would say 9 out of 10 times I’m doing someone’s makeup for prom they want a smokey eye. I think the trick to smokey eyes is realizing you DON’T have to use black eyeshadow!!! Honestly most people can’t pull off all black shadow, its harsh and frankly if its applied wrong it can look terrible!!!

My favorite smokey eye looks are done with gray!! I used a mix of a dark metallic gray & a shimmery purple to create this look, but you can use navy, brown, bronze, dark purple, emerald green…pretty much anything to create yours!

If you want to see me create a specific prom look make sure to leave me a comment here or email me! ((jackie.livingaftermidnite@gmail.com))


Scroll down for the steps I took & exact products I used to create this look!

After 3 long years I finally made it back to the West Coast & of course couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stay in @theramblermotel in Chula Vista, CA. 

And I’m a sucker for colorful, kitschy hotel with a really good coffee shop in the lobby (that happens to be an arcade) so staying here was a no brainer for me 🌈
