Back to Regular Programming Soon, Stuck in Tahoe
Yesterday, we hit the road at our regular scheduled time at 1pm only to be stuck in traffic immediately trying to head down the mountain. It took us about an hour to drive 5 miles (we barely made it out of the actual city of South Lake Tahoe) so we decided to turn back around and head back to the city early this morning to avoid sitting in the car for 9 hours instead of the 4 it would normally take us to drive home.
I miss you guys and will be back soon! So until I can get settled back into the groove with my regular updates, please enjoy this week’s weekly reads from my friends from the Beauty Blog Network:

Hi Elizabeth,
It was definitely trying on Sunday - good thing my mom lives up there. It was easy to turn around without having to think about where to stay
I had a lot of fun over the weekend - how was yours?

That’s messed up. I hate traffic, especially with what gas is going for these day. Sorry to hear about that.

Despite the smoky air I hope you had a great time!!! I live in Reno and know that ST can be a tourist pain in the ass, but once you get past that it’s just beautiful!
Love your blog!!! Thanks for all your hard work!

Hi Page,
I had such a good time in Reno and Tahoe over the holiday! I love South Lake, it’s so beautiful and I’m sooo glad my mom lives there so that I can enjoy the scenery whenever I want
Have you lived in Reno your whole life?

Indeed I have. Just graduated and looking for a big girl career! Were you born there? Or did your mom move there later??
Come up more often and enjoy everything BUT the dirty downtown part
