The Best People In Life

Thank you to all of you love bugs that have sent me such nice messages since my last post.  I do have to stop and thank the best people in the world though.  
I have the most amazing parents in the world and their kind words and wisdom are what make me do what I do.  If I didn't have them cheering me on every step of the way, I probably would not have the drive to do what I am doing.  My mom has shown me how to be kind and patient and my dad has shown me how to think smart and have a great work ethic.  Without those lessons I could never achieve success.  They have also shown me how to have a beautiful marriage by setting such a strong example of  how to love and again have patience.  
I also owe my husband a big thank you.  Other than being my delicious eye candy he is very supportive and has helped me gain the courage to follow my dreams.  He and I are definitely "dreamers" but the difference between us and other people is we are determined to make OUR dreams come true!
I also have an amazing support system through all of my friends.  Without them I would go crazy!
Most importantly I have the big guy upstairs that has answered prayer after prayer and is keeping me sane.  Nobody can accomplish anything without him and he has blessed me beyond belief!

Everybody in life puts a stamp on your heart and I think life is too short to not tell everyone in it how much you love them and how thankful you are to have them.  This is my little way of saying "I Love You" to everyone.

Ready Or Not...

I had a meeting yesterday with my AWESOME photographer, Mike, about our photo shoot on Sunday.  We sat down, went through face charts that I had made, Facebook stalked our models to see how the looks would go with each face and so on and so forth.  We got a great deal done very quickly and then headed over to H&M to get some outfits for the shoot.  I thought that this would be an easy task since "Shopping" is my middle name but I was mistaken!  We walked around for a while finding different clothes and holding my Blackberry up with the face charts on the screen and trying to picture the finished product.  Mike is actually an amazing shopping partner.  He has that photographer eye and he is very good at picturing different looks and how the lighting will make all of the outfits come to life.
We finally got all of our good and headed out of there.  Now I will be pinning face charts to dresses and hanging everything up and putting together all of the looks until my stylist (Sarah) takes over! :)  So far so good and hopefully everything will be ready by Sunday!!!!!!!  I can't wait!!

More Products Added To My List

I have been thinking about what products I want to have in my makeup line.  I have decided that I will definitely have makeup brushes!  Brushes are something that not every line has and I am always searching for the perfect brushes.  I am in the process of talking to manufacturers right now trying to find the best brushes that I can so stay tuned!  Also, I am considering false eyelashes.  I would like to get feedback from everyone on this please!  Would you buy false lashed if they were added into my line?  I am kinda up in the air with this idea so any feedback that I can get will be VERY helpful!  Things are coming together and I can't wait to blow all of these other cosmetic lines out of the water! :)

Thanks for all the love!

Rainbow Face Chart


New Face Chart...Hmmm...

I am trying to decide if I want to do this one eye leopard look for my photo shoot.  What do y'all think?
And do keep in mind, I just had to use a very large, warn down and almost empty liquid liner to make the leopard print.  At the shoot I will use a new one that is sharp and crisp!
