What did/do you love most about the ball?

It's about that time

Many will be attending birthday balls this weekend. If you fit the bill, I hope it goes wonderfully and you have a fantastic time. For those who are attending next week you still have a little time to get excited and anxious. But it will be here before you know it. Please feel free to share any fun stories next week!

2-3 Week Mark

Depending on your ball date you are about 2-3 weeks out from the big day. How exciting! If you've been looking to drop a few lbs before the ball you might want to rev it up now! There's no need for extreme dieting or exercise but keeping healthy will make sure you look radiant on the night-of. So grab the yoga mat, bike, running shoes, or kayak and enjoy!  And remember...we are all doing it with you.

It's getting close!

Depending on your ball date (Nov.1 to Nov.10 or later) it would be a good time to begin making any hair/make-up appointments you might need. Supposing you already have the dress, start looking at hair styles that complement the dress and make-up colors that would work well. By the time the appointments come around, you'll know exactly what you want and walk in stress free!

Annual Cost

I'm always interested to hear the cost of attending the ball in different areas. Many commands host fundraising events throughout the year to help lower costs for attendees. Although we are still about two months out, I was wondering what fundraising activities others are doing. Please share!

It's that time again!

Welcome, welcome..to the 74th annual Hunger Games!.. OH! Uh-no, no!, huh! Scratch that. Welcome, welcome to the 238th annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball. As we begin our prepping, I invite you to share your experiences, whether bad or good, with the rest of us. If you're a first timer I can only imagine the excitement (though I know I once was there myself) and invite you to ask any questions you might have. I will be adding updated ball information in the coming weeks and relevant tips. Please take a look around the blog and enjoy.
