Beach Bag Buys! All under $25.00!!!!!

Hey chicas!!!!!! If you have left Columbus, and you are in the heat, (smile) here are great beauty buys to keep you looking sizzlin' hot!!!!!

No matter what your hair type is, everyone needs SPF 15 at minimum for their hair. Try Miss Oops Block Your Locks Finishing Spray:



Need to freshen up? Spritz your toes, under arms, declotee.. Anywhere you want to smell fresh with: 'Dove Go Fresh Body Mist'. My personal fav is, 'Burst'.. It smells of fresh nectarines.

Need an instant pick-me-up? Whether your on the beach, or in your office, I love this trick. Fill an empty spray bottle with your favorite skin toner. Refrigerate, and lightly spritz your face. Don't worry, your make-up won't budge. Just hold above your face about eight inches, close your eyes.. Inhale positive energy.. Exhale negative.. Now, spritz. Don't you feel better?



I absolutely love to use this next product when I feel slugglish... It really helps me get going before an early morning wedding, or photoshoot. 'Lumene Time Freeze Instant Cooling Eye Stick'. You just apply this underneath your lower lashes for an instant refresher..


I am someone who can perspire very easily. If you are like me, and don't want to worry about not being as fresh as possible, try, 'Secret Clinical Strength'. I sometimes work on twelve hour shoots, and this deoderant has never failed me, even when I am at my most hormonal! ;)


The last product I bring you, is Clarins Sunblock. I have used their products for years, and LOVE THEM! They are derived from natural plant extracts, smell wonderful, and provide the coverage we need!



That's all for now cookies! I can't wait to share another, 'Who's That Girl' post!

Gorgeous Guy Alert!

Hi ladies! I am back with another, 'Gorgeous Guy Alert'. :) I always start off by saying I haven't met a man that can even hold a candle to my hubby (smile), but I do love to post these :)
The model I bring you today is: Adam Stone of Heyman Talent Modeling Agency. Adam is a professional model, and is definitely what you call, "tall, dark, and handsome".. Adam needed pictures for his modeling portfolio, and quickly called on me for wardrobe, hair, and make-up. It was a great pleasure working with him.

The wonderful Shannon Williams Photography provided pictures, which you will see below. Ladies, would you like your guy to have a well groomed look? I highly recommend getting him on a great skin care regime, followed up by a well groomed brow, concealer such as : www.themenpen.com, and great hair.

Even for the biggest 'guys guy', following these steps will give your beau added confidence, and his look will be one you can appreciate!

For Adam, I groomed his brows, applied concealer, tinted moisturizer, and Bed Head products to his hair.

Here is Adam before:



And After. Do you see what a basic brow shaping can do?:















That's for now tootsie pops! Hope you all are enjoying this wonderful weather!

Gorgeous Gal Alert!

I had the great pleasure of working with the ultra fabulous Amanda of: (www.amandajulca.com), and Katie Minister of: (www.ministerimages.com)

Katie needed pictures for her website, and called on us to capture her personality, and beauty. I had so much fun working with both women. It is always an honor, when someone places faith in my artistry to give them what they want. :)

The fabulous Katie is a wife, and mother of two in addition to a fabulous photographer. Due to here hectic schedule, she is more of a minimalist, and wanted a look that was natural, with a bit of spunk. For her hair, I opted for a look that was simple, and easy. Her make-up, I did the Laura Mercier signature, 'Flawless Face', balanced out by a played up eye, and soft lip.

Amanda Julca really is amazing.. She is really able to bring out the best in her clients!

These gals are fabulous!!!!!!!!

Want to instantly update your look, without being too dramatic? Opt for a simple color change in your eyeliner. As you can see on Katie, I used a subtle green liquid liner. Even for the biggest minimalist out there, this is a chic way to really make your eyes pop. Notice I didn't try to match her outfit to her eyeliner, but rather a color that matches/compliments her eyes.

Pick one of these fabulous colors up from your local drugstore. At seven dollars a pop, not only is it a great deal, but they last forever, and have a precise application tip.

Prestige Cosmetics.. Love it!

Do you have green/hazel eyes? Try the chocolate brown, forest green, or purple. Brown eyes? Purple, green, or sable brown is fabulous. Blue eyes? The Forest Green, blue, and purple will really work wonders!

Big hugs gals! Stay tuned, I will have a, 'Gorgeous Guy Alert' soon!

Quick Gorgeous Gal Alerts!

Hi dolls! Just got off the set of a shoot, but I just wanted to quickly share with you, three models I had the pleasure of doing make-up, and hair for. The photographer was Shannon Williams Photography: www.shannonwilliamsphotography.com He not only photographs weddings, but is a wonderful fashion photographer. Amazing guy, and I am so honored to be able to work with him!

Here we are with a lighter look, for her modeling portfolio. It looks like we are in France, but the shoot was actually in Worthington, Ohio! The model is the fabulous Ewa B. of Heyman Talent

Here is our next model Meaghan Boyd. Meg is one of Columbus' top models, having been on countless billboards, commercials, and the like. The make-up had to be very high fashion as well. I had so much fun!

And here we are with the model Alli D. of Heyman Talent Agency. Alli is such a ray of sunshine, and I expect to see her go very far. At the tender age of seventeen, I wanted to give her a hip, spunky, youthful look with the make-up, and hair. She nailed it! I hope I did too!

Well, hope all is well with everyone! The main item I used on all models to give that flawless skin look, was the Smash Box Studios foundation primer. Amazing!!!!! Apply this before your foundation to even out the skin. Fine lines dissapear, acne scars, etc. Trust me, it works, and yes, you need it! You can get this puppy at Sephora.



I'll be back soon tootsie pops!

Dry Skin Brushing!

Happy Saturday fabulous women!!!!!!!

Today, I wanted to share with you a wonderful way to detoxify your body, reduce cellulite (yay!!!!), and improve circulation.

Dry skin brushing!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I first learned of Dry skin brushing, when I lived in New York City, and worked for a day spa. I was initially intimidated by such a thought. How painful, and silly was this? Well, dolls, dry skin brushing is not painful at all! Quite the contrary! Dry skin brushing is soothing, and relaxing.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is the one that shields the entire body from harm. And with the harmful elements in our environment, there is a lot of stress on your skin which can lead to dry body skin. The wrong pH levels from creams, soaps, facial wash and the like can harm the skin. But with the advanced technology and science there are a lot of ways on how to treat this problem. There are also natural ways that can help you keep your skin healthy and one of these is dry skin brushing.

Dry skin brushing is a technique that will helps the lymph system to get rid of toxins or dirt that is collected in the lymph glands. It will help open the pores so the metabolic wastes can be removed from the body. It has been said that it helps the skin to become healthier.

The benefits of dry skin brushing are:

1. Gets rid of cellulite
2. Helps tighten the skin. This technique helps in increasing the flow of blood that decreases cellulite appearance. The skin brushing will get rid of the old layer of the skin and the new layer will resurface that result to a smoother skin.
3. Circulation of the blood is stimulated.
4. Immune system is strengthened. Decreases the chances of infection and increases the disposal of body toxins.
5. Gets rid of dead skin cells.
6. Cleanses the lymphatic system.
7. Tones the muscle. Through this technique, it stimulates the nerve endings. This leads to the activation of individual muscle fibers.
8. Function of the nervous system is improved.
9. Aids in proper digestion. The skin will absorb more nutrients since the pores are not anymore clogged with dirt and other toxins. A healthy skin also contributes to the entire body health. When brushing the skin pores will tend to open making it easier to remove the dirt.
10. Stimulates oil glands and hormones. This will help the other body organs to function properly. When there is no way out for the toxins through the skin, the elimination is then forced to the kidney.

In order to perform dry skin brushing, one would need a natural fiber brush. A synthetic brush is not recommended for it can be very hard on the skin. It is better to have a long handle so you can reach areas that are hard to reach.

Here are some tips on how to perform dry skin brushing:

1. When doing this, the body must not be wet. Skin brushing must be done before bathing or taking a shower.
2. It does not matter where you start brushing for as long as the entire body is taken care of.
3. Light pressure should be applied where the skin is sensitive. Harder pressure must be applied on the soles of the feet.
4. Perform is once a day preferably in the morning.
5. Of course, when some areas are affected with rashes or wounds do not apply skin brushing.

I always recommend starting down at the feet, and working your way up towards the heart. Do this in even, soothing strokes. Avoid your face, as the bristles can irritate delicate skin.


You can find a dry skin brush and Bed Bath and Beyond, Bath and Body Works, Sally Beauty Supply, and Target. No need to wash the brush! Just spray it occasionally with tea tree spray!
Maintain a daily dry brushing routine for at least 5 months to achieve maximum results. You should notice improvement in your hair and skin in general.



Enjoy, and please start today!!!!!!! I have been dry skin brushing for years, have two children, and not a dimple on my thighs in sight! It works!!!!!
