Happy Spring!


Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! My family and I had a fabulous couple of days. We had a busy week with many awesome Brides (I am looking forward to this season), and then took the weekend OFF, to celebrate Easter with the kids. Spring is in the air...get out and enjoy the longer days. Take care and we will see you next week.!

Like Mother,Like Son!


Instead of "Product of the Week"...I thought I would share a funny little story. I work out of my home office a good bit and the kids are always welcome to come in and out as they please (as a matter of fact I have Matchbox cars racing up and down my leg as I write this and can here Alexis behind me pulling paper out of the printer piece by piece)-you get the picture. The other day my soon to be 4 year old son was within earshot reading one of his favorite books, I called out to him to check in and noticed he was a bit quiet. A few seconds later he came into the office, walked up to me with a chapstick and said,"Mommy, do fish lips so I can put this on you-I want to make you look so pretty. Look Mommy, I working like you!" Now- I have to be honest that I teared up at this sweet moment. We have come a long way from swirling Mommy's brushes in the toilette (don't worry, not brushes from my kit)...as crazy as they sometimes drive me, my children are my life-here's to another patch on the quilt of my life!

Product of the Week!


With the busiest bridal season now in full gear, finding multi-purpose products for my kit are a must. Where I love trying the latest and greatest-it never takes away from the fact that bridal make up should remain classic, beautiful-with just the right amount of modern freshness. The products of the late, great Kevyn Aucoin are masterpieces in their own right. While most of his foundations, concealers, & powders are ideal for serious photoshoots, some of his color line has enough pigment to pop, but can be made delicate enough for "real life". My favorite is his #1 Eye Palette...these shades are perfect for a more demure look and can also be revved up for something more glamorous and sexy!
