I've had many inquiries recently about whether airbrush make up is a necessity for your wedding day, and once an for all, here's my two cents...I have been doing bridal make up since I started my career 14 years ago, and to tell you the truth, if your make up artist knows his/her stuff- traditional make up application or airbrush make up application, they should know how to make you look

In many parts of the US and Canada, winter comes with its joy of skiing, skating and other outdoor seasonal activities. Winter brings crisp invigorating air, but it also brings seasonal colds and flu, and for some people - the "winter blues." Christian Drapeau, Chief Science Officer of STEMTech Health Sciences, answers the questionHow can StemEnhance® and StemFlo® keep away the "winter blues" ?

To the endless inquiries about what gives my work its trademark look, I always return to the statement, "It's all in the hands." Perhaps it is, but the fact remains that my working hand always needs proper tools and immense training! To those old school mini-sponge tipped plastic applicator users, listen up! Its time to get with it… those silly things will never create a look that is polished,

The lash curler has been a part of a woman's make up arsenal for decades. I remember attempting to figure out my mother's on my eyelashes when I was about 6 years old (I think I pinched and bruised my eyelid.) Children even know it as "Mommy's tool." Young ladies, carry it almost as a badge of honor, as it somehow symbolizes the progression in their beauty knowledge. What is it about the

I have suffered with various digestive issues for several years now. I carry a lot of my energy in my belly and I understand from years of study that being 'blocked' is a reflection of what is going on inside. It has affected my skin, my mood, the way I dress, my sex life, my energy- just about everything in my being! With much exposure to a long list of solutions for this issue, I knew that

A Love Letter from my husband, Jay: Eight years ago today I realized that you, my love, were someone I simply could not walk away from or let slip away. You were, and are, an answered prayer... an exact response from the Universe! Our commitment to creating a better life for ourselves and each other continues to unfold in new, exciting and unpredictable ways. It is as terrifying as it is

My NEW favorite beauty tool...Every morning and every night my mother always said: "Its time to wash your face and brush your teeth!" I used to make fun of the whole thing and switched it around with my smart giggle "Brush your face and wash your teeth". Now who would've thought that it wouldn't be so silly after all?We've come a long way in the different techniques in washing our face. Some of

I am sorry, please forgive me and THANK YOU for being so patient! Finally, the quick "How To" video I promised you guys is finally here! In my last newsletter, I talked about CREAM BLUSH as one of my favorite beauty products for the spring and summer months. Truth be told, it truly is one of my favorite products all year round. I find that cream, liquid or gel cheek color adds more depth and life

Aaaahhh, springtime! The sun is shining, its warming up, we're getting ready for the summer months... allergies are kickin' in and most of us are starting to get excited or are already excited about being outside. So what are we making our minds up about this season? Make up your mind and ...Hydrate! Keep drinking loads of water and slathering your beautiful skin with moisturizer. Being in the

Today, I had the pleasure of doing the make up of the fabulous, Tessa Prieto-Valdes. I've wanted to do Tessa's make up for a long time! She is one of those rare people who is absolutely not afraid to stand out, work her outrageous and beautiful collection of head pieces and gowns. Her collection inspires me to create, and the fact of the matter is, she is one Manila gal who I know can rock the

I really enjoy working with new photographers, especially when I feel the passion and love for the craft come through in their work. Today was sort of a "Iron Chef America" type beauty shoot where the secret ingredient was: CANDY!!! Candy sprinkles, lollipops, sugar... there were even donuts! The challenge was to create three make up looks in one afternoon, integrating these elements through

Due to the current disposition of our world... I mean, America-- today, I am relieved and grateful for many things. I am generally healthy, still get to do what I love to do for a living and I continue to live a full, loved, and creative life... my car's paid off & runs well, we've got food in the pantry, and live in a comfortable cozy home with my family to love & snuggle in (Universe, thank you

I look back and its been already an insanely busy year. I've been everywhere and have so much yet to look forward to! :)The past 100 days have been a mind fuck to say the least... heartache, a bag of bullshit, bitches, backstabbers, whores, greedy mother fuckers, ungrateful assholes... a false security... ooh, must I go on?? And then there's the good parts (whew!) : new friends (i heart u), new

Although I know I am in (without a doubt) a much better work place than I ever have been... still, certain things just DON'T add up. It's puzzling as hell and I can't seem to pinpoint whether its the nature of the industry or the culmination of the people involved or both.I have always been one to hold a very high standard of work ethics, and I pride myself on integrity--- from the services I
