Transformation Taught - Webinar & Guest Speaker - part 1

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

How is your 2020 going? Is it what you thought it would be? Some of mine is and some isn't - if that makes sense?



 I guess I thought that more things would be happening faster and I find myself pushing boundaries more than ever.

Which is why I am branching out more into public speaking and teaching the transformational modules to inspire women to make the changes that they need to take control of their lives.

After all, the motto for MakeupUniversity has been for the past 12 years "changing lives one lipstick at a time"!

Here's a little video to help introduce you to what is being offered:

REsolve Tuesday: Let's take stock & inventory


Hi ya Gorgeous!



Happy Tuesday! Oh how Las Vegas is so much fun and yet, so full of fitness! Today I'm doing a wee running event, and it's so good to be laced up into my sneakers and on the road.

 Me at the Las Vegas Rock'n'Roll marathon


I haven't run in a race in over 2 years - it's been one thing after another. But! This year, 2019 and as 5779 is ending, I am determined to finish the era well. It's just a wee 4K - get it, for NAB and 4K technology? Though for me, those 2.49 miles will be a triumph! I'm so ready to run!  I'm currently doing an 9 minute mile. There was a time I averaged a 5:39 mile. Oh to fall so far behind.


No need to be sad - just need to keep moving. A mini marathon today - and a half in 2 months. Let's do this!

I hope you enjoy today's REsolve Tuesday video - it's time to take inventory!





Thank you so much for visiting and if you haven't yet - would you please take a moment and subscribe! Thanks!

This REsolve Tuesday video is going to require you to take out a pen and paper - grab one quick!

Let me know in the comments what is working for you and what is not - personally, the beets are working, but I don't like them!

MUAH!

Head Kandy straightening brush: what the ACM awards and I Heart Radio Awards red carpet looks need

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Today is a unique day in award shows because both the ACM's and I Heart Radio Awards are today.
How did that happen?

So there will be red carpet looks happening on both the East and West coasts tonight. Are you planning to watch?

I have a new book to read and will be catching any highlights on YouTube.

I have this new gadget from Head Kandy to try and I took it with me to Las Vegas to get ready for a weekend on the mic for K&N Filters at the NHRA Races.



Oh the good times that were had!

So here's my experience with this thing. Awesome. It heated up quickly. Got hot to 400 degrees and then I ran it through my dry hair, that had a layering of heat protectant and shine spray in it.



I brushed my hair first, and then ran about one inch chunks through the Head Kandy straightening brush. I did sections and then did an all over brush through to get any areas I may have missed.

I like this thing! It's a bit big and awkward to pack and travel with, though it technically replaces two products in one. No need to pack an extra brush and separate straightening iron.

I did bend and twist the ends of my hair with the Head Kandy to give the hair a slightly turned in look to frame my face.
 That lil twist worked wonders.



Over all, I did this thing! It's available on the website now for about $59.99. Enjoy!

I Heart Radio: No Doubt Gwen Stefani-how to get her hairstyle

TotalBeauty.com
Celebrities Reveal Their Secrets to Looking Younger

Nope, Hollywood hasn't found the fountain of youth. Stars just have amazing tricks to stay (looking) forever young


Celebrities Reveal Their Secrets to Looking Younger

This is a TotalBeauty.com anti-aging skin care article

It's not just genetics that affect our skin. Our lifestyle choices, nutrition, and skin care also play a huge role in how we age. Take these celebrity examples: Kathie Lee Gifford and Christie Brinkley. They're both 58 but Brinkley looks decades younger. How? A few of these expert tips will help you steal her secrets.

Reveal their secrets

The 2012 I Heart Radio festival in Las Vegas is amazing! It opened with No Doubt and Gwen Stefani looked amazing! So beautiful and in shape. Makes me want to put this burger down...

Ok-this video is a short tutorial for her hair style. I love the (what I have coined as) duo sumo rolls with a top twist. The twist is what is so exciting because it's not the trendy braid. My short bangs had a hard time twisting into a smooth shape.

Thank goodness for my Bosley Volumizing and Thickening gel! I spritzed all hairs into place with Smooth n Shine Diamond Luster pump hairspray. I used a Goody comb, a few bobby pins and some basic brown hair elastics to match my hair color.

 1. Smooth some gel into your hair and make a side part in line with the end of your eyebrow.

2. Comb the hair sideways and section two pieces off at the hairline where it meets the forhead and begin to twist. Pull sections of hair into the twist just like you would a french braid-but caution- do not go past the part line on the twist side. You need to have about a 1 inch section of hair above the ear to smooth back into a sumo roll.

3. Pin the twist and secure with hairspray. Next comb the sides back to begin a sumo roll, use the gel to smooth the hair above the ears as you comb the hair straight back. Secure in a pony tail holder and before you pull the hair through the holder for a pony tail, simply stop half way and create a roll.

 4. Fan the roll out. I had to pin my sumo roll up on the inside of the roll against my head because even with fanning out the roll, my thin hair wouldn't stand up.

5. Finish the I Heart Radio No Doubt Gwen Stefani hairstyle look by pulling the bottom section of hair into the ponytail holder and pull it into a sumo roll. Spray with hairspray and fan out the bottom sumo roll, smooth the tails and fan out for a spikey effect.

Love the look! Enjoy the video!

My favorite part was when Pink came on stage and sang I'm Just a Girl with Gwen Stefani. Too good! Remember: you are beautiful! Thank you for visiting the blog and check back for promotions and beauty giveaways!

DiY with vanilla: how to make your own luxurious scrub

Of all the pretty, edgy, and wacky NYFW trends, these 11 are the most re-pin-worthy

Pin-tastic Photos from Spring 2013 Fashion Week
This is a TotalBeauty.com hairstyles article
When it comes to hair and makeup trends, New York Fashion Week is the Mecca of inspiration. But with so many looks to choose from, it can get overwhelming. Of all the model shots and Instagram pics we saw, these 11 looks reigned supreme. See which photos made it to our Pinterest board now.

Hello Gorgeous! I love DiY projects-enjoy this recipe! Remember, you've got the right stuff girl!


DIY Tips for the Kitchen Beautician
Pantry Staples Make All-Natural Beauty Simple and Affordable
WAUKEGAN, ILL. (Sept. 18, 2012) – Brisk fall weather is upon us, with that comes dry skin from the cooler air and winds. Seasonal skin problems can be solved this year with all-natural treatments and products that are free of harsh chemicals – a healthier option for the body and the environment. Money can be saved on expensive natural products too by using kitchen pantry staples to create DIY spa treatments for glowing skin at home.
Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, the makers of fine vanillas and flavors, has pure flavor products made from high quality natural oils and several all-natural vanilla products. Just a drop of Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract can be added to any DIY spa recipe for improved skin tone, calming aromatherapy, and healthy antioxidants.
Try these spa ideas from Nielsen-Massey for fresh fall skin with common kitchen ingredients:
• Use leftover green tea bags and place on eyes to remove dark circles and puffiness.
• Lemon oil is known to have a calming effect on the body. Mix Pure Lemon Extract with water for a beneficial skin treatment for dry skin.
• Hydrate skin with a honey facemask – spread raw honey on face, leave for 20 minutes, rise off for smooth skin
• Coconut oil moisturizes skin and is known to help heal small bumps and bruises.
• Combine a splash of Rose Water with water and put into a spritzer bottle – keep it in the car or purse for a fresh scent (or leave it in the refrigerator for a cooling morning mist).
“I use vanilla sugar in my homemade body scrub. The scent is relaxing and it’s an affordable way to treat myself to a little pampering,” explains Beth Nielsen, chief culinary officer of Nielsen-Massey.

For smooth skin, try Nielsen’s DIY Vanilla Body Scrub recipe below.

Vanilla Body Scrub

Ingredients
1 cup Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Sugar
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 or 2 drops of an essential oil such as lavender, eucalyptus, etc.
Decorative, waterproof container

1. Mix ingredients together in a bowl.

2. Spoon into a decorative, waterproof container
3. Wrap in decorative paper.

Instructions for use: Apply a small amount to damp skin while in shower or bath. Gently scrub skin with a soft washcloth. Rinse thoroughly.

9 Biggest Pitfalls at the Health Food Store

You should think twice before throwing that gluten-free, seemingly healthy snack into your cart. See the 9 unhealthiest picks at Whole Foods now


9 Biggest Pitfalls at the Health Food Store

This is a TotalBeauty.com diet article

When I walk into Whole Foods, I feel like I have the grocery store equivalent of a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. I don't check the nutrition label because I assume that everything in the store is healthy. But turns out even health food stores have gluttonous snacks that aren't so great for you and your summer diet. Before your next trip, see which 9 snacks are the unhealthiest picks.

See foods

Hello Gorgeous! I am using the Mally Beauty Ultimate Brow Fix in Sable. I could not find a photo of this wee pot of cool toned brown gel that comes with a dual ended tool that is one side of slant tip brush and the other with a wee mascara like wand that helps pull brows up into place. I will do more to find a photo to show you because my results with this product are fun and amazing. I'm out on adventure trekking filming fun, and I put this on as fast as possible in the morning ( to allow a wee minute more of rest!) and it lasts nearly all day (12 hours or more) whether I am sweating, in sun, in rain, in river lake or raft. I love that I can draw my brows on with one end and then quickly, notice the word quickly, pull the brow hairs up in to place to make a very full brow look. Since I have the smallest amount of time to get my makeup on, there is no time for precision pencil or defined brows. For me right now, it's about getting color and shape on and I am liking the fuller look. When I find a photo or video-perhaps I will make my own when time allows-I will show/post about this unique and lasting product. If you are a beach bride-DIY bride, and going to be in humidity but want your brow look to last through photos, ceremony and reception: you NEED this product! http://www.mallybeauty.com/store/category/eyes/brow Remember: you are beautiful!

Mally Beauty: Volumizing Water Proof mascara-for wedding and white water rafting adventure

Hello Gorgeous! I'm traveling and it's an adventure, to say the least. Now-for the river and lake mixed with rainy days of this journey, I'm using Mally Beauty volumizing waterproof mascara. In short, I'm glad to have it because it holds up under wet conditions-though I am having trouble getting it off. Darn. If you are a bride and want to keep moist eyes from running and ruining wedding photos-I recommend it. As for me, I'm going to use it through the rest of the shoot, but most likely will return to a non water proof version of mascara after! Here's a bit from the website for Mally Beauty! Enjoy! *** This unique formula helps create the look of gorgeous, full, luxurious lashes. The combination of natural waxes and carefully chosen powders gives lashes an instant boost…oh, and did we mention it’s waterproof?! Apply to lashes from base to tip. For luminous lashes, apply one coat, let it dry, then apply a second coat. Repeat until you’ve got the lash look you love. http://www.mallybeauty.com/store/category/eyes/mascaralashes/item/EY0028/volumizing_waterproof_mascara/ Remember: you are beautiful!

 Hello Gorgeous!
Happy summer to you!
I am traveling and what I packed with me is a whole kit and caboodle of Mally Beauty products.

This Perfect Prep poreless primer glow is perfect for brides, professional business head shots or acting head shots.

It's simple to use and wears really well for quite some time-but here's the tip that's helping me: it needs a wee moment of dry down time so your foundation does not slip off if it's a liquid or get patchy if it's a mineral powder.

True, it's possible that I have simply put too much on-but so far, even after blending it down with my foundation brush, it needed just a moment to set up.

I am enjoying mine it's helping keep my skin camera ready in any weather while trekking, traveling and filming. Try some!

Hello sweet Gorgeous! How is your summer going? I hope it's going well-and that you and your family are covered head to toe in sunscreen! Especially if you are a fellow Arizonan like me! I've been using the Murasol broad spectrum spf 30 sunscreen most days for the past few weeks-except yesterday, when I left in a hurry and forgot to put it on so I just used the wee spf 15 sample I had in the car. Oy did I get a burn! I love the light fragrance in the Murasol, it reminds me of Aveda product scents. It dries fairly matte, and doesn't budge or smear. It works-try some! Here's more information on it and some comments from Dr. Howard Murad himself! Enjoy!
Combat Wrinkles With MuraSol Sun protection is not only a crucial wrinkle-fighter, it also protects against more serious skin conditions, like skin cancer. Most sun damage occurs from incidental exposure during day-to-day activities. Wherever there is light, there is UV (ultraviolet) radiation. And where there is UV radiation, there is the potential for harm to the skin. Taking innovation one more step, and always looking forward, Murad brings the newest, and best technology to the industry for sun care protection, MuraSol Antioxidant Defense. As Dr. Howard Murad notes, aging is a fact of life, looking your age is not, and sun damage is cumulative and shows up later as signs of aging, or in worse case scenarios, as skin cancer. Ninety-five percent of all skin cancers are found on light-exposed areas such as the face, top of the ears, neck and chest. Because over a million new cases of skin cancer in the U.S. are diagnosed each year (plus, the large numbers that go unreported), protecting yourself every day with a broad based (UVA/UVB) sunscreen and clothing is more important than ever. Dr. Murad, M.D., FAAD, world renowned dermatologist, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA and founder of Murad Inc., discusses the most thorough sun protection rating, PA +++, and shares his new advanced technology that will transform the way skincare users will protect themselves from environmental exposure. MuraSol Antioxidant Defense All of Murad sunscreens have a UVB protection along with a PA rating, advanced in technology to measure UVA broad spectrum harmful aging rays. Along with using the most advanced protection defenses in sun care, Murad presents MuraSol Antioxidant Defense, which enhances the ability of both physical and absorbable sunscreens to provide additional protection by creating a layer of encapsulated antioxidants that provides a secondary defense to sun damage. Reminder: Look for products which contain the Murad Recipe, a nourishing balance of the hydrating ingredients, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories necessary for a creating an environment for healthy skin. · Antioxidants Eliminate damaging free radicals responsible for most of what we perceive as skin aging including fine lines, pigment changes and textural irregularity. Examples include: Pomegranate extract (Ellagic Acid), Vitamin C and Grape seed extract. · Anti-Inflammatories Neutralize redness and prevent inflammatory cell damage. Examples include: Arnica, Zinc, Aloe Vera and Goldenseal. · Hydrating Ingredients Strengthen the skin’s barrier and help build strong cell membranes. These ingredients protect against dryness and fine lines by replenishing naturally occurring skin lipids, improving moisture retention and protecting skin from the environment. Examples include: Ceramides, Sodium PCA, Amino acids, Essential fatty acids and Alpha and beta hydroxy acids. Another way to help protect yourself from sun damage and harmful rays is to focus on what you put inside your body. Eat raw fruits and vegetables – the more colorful the better – because they are full of skin-protective antioxidants and have a high water content, which helps keep your skin’s barrier hydrated and more resistant to free-radical damage from the sun and daily pollution. Also, consider taking supplements with pomegranate extract which provides you with powerful antioxidant protection against free radical damage, which accounts for more than 80% of the signs of premature aging.
