Bringing it back to the Basics...

I'm back. I tried Tumblr...creating my own blog from scratch and let's just say it hasn't been the same. No motivation to blog. So I decided that some times keeping it simple to bringing it back old school is just what I need. I love this blog. It has history. It's my outlet to share a bit of my voice with the world (for whoever will listen for a moment) just to say hello.

hello world.

This weekend has been filled with ups and downs. I guess you gotta take them both as they come.

Ups:
- I gotta a surprise phone call and was picked as Xtreme Lashes May 2011 Featured Lash Stylist of the Month. BOOYAH! That ROCKS. For the kind newsletter write up about Splurge click http://www.xtremelashes.com/Newsletter/2011/Stylist/1105/1105.aspx

Downs: It snowed (in May?!!?!).

Ups: It's now melting.

Downs: My dentist canceled on me this morning.

Ups: More cuddle time with the pup.

Splurge Beauty Booth at the Ultimate Womens Show

This weekend we were at the Ultimate Womens Show and it was a lot of fun. I love exhibiting at shows because it gives me one-on-one face time with people and I love to share my passion with them. Not everyone gets why lash extensions are important. Not everyone gets that saving an extra five minutes in the morning so that you can have 5 extra minutes in bed cuddling with your loved ones makes a difference. Not everyone gets that waking up and feeling like you already look your best matters. But I get it...and so do my clients. So it does make a difference and it's why I love my job. It's not just a beauty thing...it's a feel-damn-good thing. And any time you can do anything that makes you feel better--gives you an extra little umph in your step I'm all for it. Rock on ladies.


My beautiful model Lisa at the Ultimate Womens Show this weekend who was gracious enough to lie still for me for a few hours so I could demo the lash extensions. We ended up doing one eye first so that ladies could see the difference with and without extensions. Don't worry, we fixed her up and did both eyes by the end of the show and she is now loving her new lashes!

Today:
- Laundry needs to be done, it's been piling up for way too long.
- Finally getting my engagement ring sized! It's legit and official once it's sized -- no going back ;)
- I may try and sneak in a precious nap or two with this little guy because we're an afternoon nap kind of family.
