Perfect Cut

My first time getting a hair cut from the barbershop was not that much of a bad experience considering that my hair does have a mind of her own. She has been through a lot, really dying and than risen to come back to life. My perfect haircut is really giving me life and is the greatest length for all the high temperatures recently.

What do you think? Yes there will be a video posted to update on the maintenance of this afro.

On Cloud 9

I finally got around to filling out my application to be mailed out to the Professional Credential Services located all the way in Nashville, TN. I have been putting it off for some time (like weeks and days and hours) just to enjoy myself for awhile, but a salon owner reminded me what am I waiting for. Every once in awhile we all need a wake-up call to keep on pushing to realize the natural power we have to be responsible. I went in a circle just to get my photo taken for the license and fed a squirrel in the park on the way to FED EX to send my application through ground shipping.

Given so many choices in life the only path that matters is filled with love and all I could think of was Adele's breakout song Chasing Pavements. Whatever you believe in or don't you must know that you were created for a purpose and are part of a master plan from a higher power. The bottom line is to live the life you love and even if that leads nowhere than it was really all worth it.

On a side note: I love Adele's ivory skin and the simplicity of her look. Very natural with lip balm, black eyeliner and some blush and mascara on real eyelashes is always the right way to go.

Look for today

The temperature went from the sixties to the eighties just like that. What a beautiful day it was and the look was all about sizzling and being bright. No foundation or extra cover-ups but Revlon's new Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in "Adore" was the only thing on my face. The good thing about this line is that there are 12 shades and the results are amazing with not too much effort put into the look. Also, Just Bitten Kissable Stain is more than a Balm because their is a tingling affect like peppermint shampoo and the hair scalp.

Today was more than sizzling...

Makeover for this Month

For the month of May, I got things started off with a makeover using none other than Mary Kay products. This look I was going for was a sun-kissed look. I did a makeover on Ashleigh a Mary Kay beauty consultant for a contest that will be open for votes May 10, 2013. Below is my story and one word that explains my entry. You can vote for my entry here, Makeover contest with MaryKay.

"I am someone who believes in the beauty of nature and loving who you are flaws and all. I love it when someone is true to themselves and I know that every woman can be content, which is tough when someone is insecure about their self. In a society that sends mixed messages of beauty I know that true beauty is a feeling more so than looks."

One woman can be CONTENT

If you notice that in the before photo she blends in with the background and the wall seems to be giving more light than her. In the after photos she is very sun-kissed and the focal point that attracts the eyes to her. Mary Kay mineral bronzing powder was applied to define her cheekbones and all over the face after applying the foundation. At the very end Mary Kay loose powder was applied to set the makeup. My favorite of all of the products was the cream shadow because it reminded me of Maybelline cream gel color tattoo eye shadows that are long lasting up to 24 hours or just about water proof.
