Thank you Pinterest!
Sorry for slacking on the posts this last week, but It has been a very busy one for me. While trying to juggle two schools (NeoStrata & Pur Minerals) work and being a Mom & wife, the days are just packed. On my downtime.... I find myself always looking for something new & creative in Makeup, but now I find that my interest in Pinterest has brought out yet another creative side, so I thought I would share. This is shaping up to be a part of my Halloween Costume and really cost me only a few dollars to make!
All I needed was a print out from my computer, bristol board to transfer, a pair of scissors & an exact-o knife, a Black T-shirt and bleach. Voila!

Halloween is almost here! Be daring and let what you choose to be reflect your personality & passion.
Last year was a no brainer for me, I was (and still is) obsessed with The Walking Dead! As you can see from a personal photo taken at work, my guys loved the Zombie look and in the photo below, wanted in on the action.
While it only took me an hour to create, the effect it had on people varied from double takes, smiles, to literally making an old lady cry.
So be daring & do something you have never done before. Who cares what others think..... After all, its about having fun!

After the beautiful and warm summer of 2012, is your skin starting to show signs of damage? If so, then this may just be a sun worshippers dream come true!
Introducing two new clinically proven products that offer a great solution for consumers looking for a way to not only erase existing, but also PREVENT future dark spots from appearing & protecting from future UV damage.

Im pretty sure that you will love this product as much as I do.

FINALLY!!!! The Walking Dead Returns Tonight for Season 3.
Since March 18th when the last episode "Beside the Dying Fire" aired, I have been waiting patiently for this day and now, the wait is over......
Where it left off......"Shortly after Shane's death, a massive horde of walkers attacks the farm. The survivors attempt to fight off the horde, but are quickly overwhelmed. Jimmy and Patricia are killed, and Andrea is inadvertently left behind. The remaining survivors are forced to scatter in the darkness, but eventually reunite at the highway where they left supplies for Sophia. Meanwhile, Andrea is still alive and fleeing from the walkers on foot. She is about to be caught by the walkers when she is rescued by a hooded figure wielding a sword and flanked by two leashed walkers. The other survivors believe that Andrea is a lost cause and decide to search for a new shelter, but their cars begin to run low on gas and they are forced to stop for the night. Confronted with the knowledge that Shane turned into a walker without being bitten, Rick finally reveals to the group what Jenner had told him at the CDC: that everybody is already infected with the virus (meaning they will eventually turn into walkers when they die). He also admits that he killed Shane. With this knowledge, the group's morale begins to plummet, but Rick announces that from now on he's in charge and the group will no longer be run as a democracy, and they will find a safe haven from the walkers. As the camera pulls back, a prison complex is visible nearby."

Lets talk Acne.......TWO Problems/Reasons causing a roadblock with your recovery progress.
Everyday, every second, someone, somewhere is being bullied because their sebaceous glands have gone into overdrive. While there are alot of obvious reasons this may be happening (Puberty, Stress, etc) ......I find that I am contantly telling new clients (typically teenagers) that it may be something they do (or dont do) everyday and night that is hindering the progress of clearing their skin up, even though they may be using a good and sometimes expensive, acne cleansing system.
The first question I typically ask is "How Often do you change your pillowcases?"
If the answer is....."once every 2 weeks" Well needless to say.....That is not often enough!
Everynight before bed, people (sadly not everyone) wash their faces, then proceed to lay their freshly clean skin on a dirty pillow case. Does this make any sense? No, I didnt think so.
Look at it this way....... While you sleep at night, oil secretes from your skin onto your pillowcase and during the day microscopic bacteria may accumulate, along with things (like bugs, cats, even dogs) that may crawl all over it......Gross!
I guess what I am trying to say is.......CHANGE YOUR PILLOWCASES! Even if its twice a week.
Sleep in one side one night, then flip it over and sleep on the other side the next night. I cant stress enough how well this helps and I guarantee, you will notice a big difference in just a few weeks.
The next question I ask is........."Do you play any sports that require you to wear a helmet?"
If the answer is "Yes".......be prepared to carry a bottle of spray Rubbing Alcohol in your equipment bag or purse.
I learned this trick a few years ago, as I have Twin (almost) 13yr old boys who drive Junior Cascar and are required to wear a helmet as part of their safety gear at the race track.

Most teenagers and even adults seem to overlook this simple way to control and kill bactera that accumulates inside of Hockey, Football, Motocross & Race helmets, after sweating inside them for hours at a time. Basically, just spraying Rubbing Alcohol all over the inside of the helmet AFTER you are done for the day with the equipment, will keep the bacteria from getting back into your skin when you're wearing it the next time.
Remember that Rubbing alcohol is drying, so NEVER spray it before you wear it!
Bright pink lipliner & light eye shadow create delicious looking lips for any occasion.
~try GOSH Velvet Touch Lipliner - in Pink Peony, add a touch of Annabelle matte white single eye shadow in "Snowflake" then top it off with your favorite clear or sparkling lipgloss and Voilà !

'Arrow' Premieres Tonight!
The Makeup artistry is amazing, so its only fair to say that Im really going to like this show!
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow - a vigilante to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be - flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle - while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.

For eyebrows, apply a small amount to the roots.
For best results, use at night for a minimum of 30 days.
Discontinue use if redness or irritation occurs.
If irritation continues, consult a physician.
