Now, onto My Kitchen Cure by Mee Tracy McCormick.
You know,I love to eat, love to cook and love a new cookbook. This one is a fun and easy read that is part testimonial of how foods can heal and part recipes.

I am taking on a new challenge. I plan to vlog through the book and the recipes. I loved the movie Julie & Julia and feel inspired to try my own cooking journey.

Stay tuned for those posts to start showing up next week. In the meantime: here's a bit about the book and author:

My Kitchen Cure by Mee Tracy McCormick, an autoimmune cooking expert and Food Makeover Consultant. (p.s. She is gorgeous! Just look at that glowing skin!)

That's why they call it "runway" and I can help you make it work for the hallways

It's extreme, and has a beauty all to itself. It's from the Fall runway fashion shows and I like it.

Can't say that it would really work for my daily life, or for my toddler, but that is why it is called runway.

When you see the clothes, shoes, hair and makeup that comes down the runway at couture fashion shows it is meant for show, for art and for shock value. It makes great photos and heads turn while people talk. That's the point.

Now for taking this runway look and making it work for the hallway ( and when I say hallway I mean your work place or school) it's about using one or two pieces of the look.

This coming week I am teaching morning workshops and one afternoon on how to use this season's monochromatic/gilded makeup to create a fresh Fall face for yourself.

Using makeup to update your look is the simplest and most affordable way to stay current with fashion with out breaking the bank. Adding a lipstick or lipgloss, and a shadow of the latest color story can make an old wardrobe look new again.

Please email for workshop reservations!

Now...for the men: to update your look it's more about facial hair grooming and hair cut and color.
Yes, color. It's more and more acceptable for men of all ages to get highlights, low lights, chunks and all over color mixed into their hair to create a fresh new look. Even for the lawyers and doctors, business men behind desks, adding a tinted gloss over your hair can update and improve your image.

When it comes to facial hair, because it grows back by 5'o'clock, you can create a facial hair look for the weekend, and be back in business clean shave by Monday morning.

Finally, one simple and affordable way to try on a look is to get a sample from Sephora, or...to purchase a lower price point item in the new color scheme to see if it works for you.

I recommend Wet'n'Wild, Rimmel or the online site www.eyeslipsface.com

or, if you are in the Phoenix area, visit the Revlon Outlet store in the West Valley.

See you in the workshop this week!

Monday makeup lessons for humidity

Happy Monday!
I always get more accomplished on a Monday than I do other days. Here in Arizona, it was a massive monsoon storm yesterday. Short, powerful and amazing! And after the rain comes a thick, sticky veil of humidity that no deoderant/anti-persperant can compete with, let alone your cosmetics!

So how do you keep your face on during humid times?

I would start with using a facial wash and tone for oily skin on these days so that the higher astringent level will help control oil.

If you haven't been using a self tanner made for the face, now is the time to start if you are going to have more humidity. The challenge with humid weather is that the skin continues to be moist and it's hard for product to hug the skin. You can either use a thin layer of tinted moisturizer that if it moves won't be a big deal in your day, or, get the waterproof makeup, something that is designed for swimmers or sweater's.

Second, use a stain on your lips and cheeks, there are so many choices in Sephora or Ulta these days when it comes to color.

I recommend using a waterproof/water resistant eye liners and mascaras in humid weather so they don't run, and as you wipe and dab at the moisture on your face they have less chance of smudging. Try Makeup Forever, it's one of the best brands in waterproof with alot of color choices. Sue Devitt Studios makes amazing water resistant, botanical based mascara.

For your eyeshadows, a good matte high pigmented shadow will cling to the skin even through humidity and your eyelids being moist from the weather.

Eyebrows: I prefer a powder to draw on brows, but if you like pencil, use the waterproof!

Lips, keep it sheer or tinted lip with sheer over it.

Humidity happens! The storms that bring rain are so good for the vegetation and little critters and you can keep your beauty on with a few simple product changes.

Enjoy!
The class list for workshops is posted on the main page of www.makeupuniversity.com these are small groups of ladies who want to learn how to do their makeup. It's basically what Cosmo magazine didn't' tell you and your mother didn't know!

See you soon!
