Awesome Work Stuff Coming Up

As much as I have worked to get myself and name out there for agents and photographers to seek me out for their projects and photo shoots, the time has come!! RAW Artist Las Vegas asked me to be spotlighted in their monthly event which includes a fashion show, DJ and other artistic trades to see and get interested in all the while helping out a fellow artist. I will get to shoot a video of myself telling why I do what I do and what inspires the looks I love most. I am very excited for that because I will get to get all dolled up too!! I will be working the fashion show in the back doing makeup on each of the models, changing their looks after walking. This is my dream, I love fashion shows (in the back) I love the fast pace, I work well under pressure! Photo shoots come in a close second favorite because after the makeup is done I can see behind the camera how it looks and have the opportunity to direct and change what I see and make everything look better and there is always the option of choosing the best pictures for my portfolio and tossing the negatives. The event is held October 27th at Tommy Rockers on Dean Martin. Tickets are $10 and you would be supporting me!! I would love to see all your faces there!!

Also, someone from Ed Hardy who is a model and talent coordinator contacted me for their next photo shoot for the next catalog. I would only have to do 5 models and keep the main focus on the face like foundation, contouring, highlighting, cheeks and lips! Easy peasy lemon squeezy haa That is my favorite part of makeup. Eye shadow comes in a close second but I love the beauty in the shapes of peoples faces. The pay is good I just hope that this is a real deal because I don't want to waste my time on photographers trying to jerk you around, it happens in the business but that is what I am always aware of and skeptical until I get there and I am paid :-)

There are certain photographers I work with when they come to town. I haven't done any traveling for a shoot yet but I wouldn't mind as long as I am treated right and it's not too far away!!

I have to make a decision very soon on what I am going to put my all into for the future and my career. Staying in makeup means getting my own business license before January, that excites me a little and also makes me a little nervous lol. If I choose another more stable profession I need to get schooling done asap with a part time job in the mean time. This decision will most likely be dictated by how well the rest of my makeup work goes for the next couple months..... We will see. Tough decision.

Better Late then Never

Hi Hi Hi-ya!! Sorry it has been forever and a day since my last post. I haven't had the energy nor the motivation for that matter. My health is a toss up day to day... If I eat the right things (Gluten Free) than I don't get as sick but the Dr.s say I need to continue eating the "right" way for me from now on and it will be a few weeks even months for me to tell a significant difference. I can't wait. I am literally so tired of being sick and tired. A positive turn has taken place after being diagnosed with celiac disease, I now know that I can learn a new way of life, a healthier way of life. I am very excited to master this lifestyle for when I have kids and then they can follow in my footsteps and be educated like I wish I would have been. Times are changed and things are different now so that means changing a lot of regular daily habits will need to be replaced with healthy alternatives if people like me want to stay happy and healthy and soon enough the rest of the smart people in the world will follow the green movement :-) We can hope!

As far as work is going for me I couldn't be more happy. I get to choose my own schedule for when I can take a photo shoot and do the makeup they need done. I love my job and I also love learning more about it through each shoot I do and each model and/or photographer I meet. A lot of networking comes along with this gig but that part is fun too! 

As for Geoff, he is doing phenomenal at his job. He is the lead service tech for the company and he is writing up all kinds of bids and jobs for approval. I am so proud of him and what he has accomplished in his field of work in such a short amount of time. We have BIG plans for the future!!

^^^^^^YESSSSSSSS ^^^^^^

One last thing .... I have been so hooked to Pinterest it is a sickness!! Seriously I am stuck on that website so if you want to find me I think that would be great! I feel extremely creative when I am on that website but when I get off I can't keep the ideas in my head long enough to actually do them LOL! 
***13 DAYS UNTIL OUR 1 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!! :-)
