I had the pleasure of working on Sweden’s Next Top Model Season 5 as one of the Makeup Artists. This was Day 2 in LA and we set up shop at The Roosevelt Hotel for this shoot. The girls had to portray famous characters on Hollywood Blvd. Most of them didn’t even know their character.
My Bestest Friend is a Apple Fanatic and Steve Jobs’ biggest fan. Thanks to him I drank the Kool-Aide and will forever be a Mac user. As I listened to his speech below, I was surprisingly brought to tears. He made a difference!
In a now-classic commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005, Steve Jobs dispensed this advice about life and death:
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Sneak Peek from Suzy and Jason’s wedding. I had the honor of styling hair and makeup. Can’t wait to see all the images by the lovely Chelo Keys. Suzy’s florist surprised her with the green Peony for her hair and it was the perfect accent to complete her look.
On April 15 I posted about a new product line I purchased that was supposed to be Super good for you as it did not contain Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances or Synthetic Dyes. Well, thanks to Sephora’s amazing return Policy, I returned it for a full refund as I developed strange rash like bumps on my face. I used the Cleanser and Serum for 6 weeks in hopes of it clearing up by acclimating to the all natural goodness but it was a no go. Still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the eye cream but the cleanser and serum went bye-bye. I guess this face likes the harsh ingredients found in BLISS Fabulous Foaming Face Wash 
Coral lips were spotted on Emma Watson and Blake Lively at the MTV Movie Awards this week. This color is amazing on all skin tones but not one shade fits all. Find your tone and it will brighten your face. I’ve been rocking Maybelline Colorsenstional High Shine in “Coral Lustre”.
