Coachella 2022 - Pack Like a Pro

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

 

Live music is back! For all going to the festival in the beautiful Indio valley, I made this video to help you pack for fun though possibly not fashion. 

 

All bags need to be smaller than 20”x15”x9” and clear will get you in quicker. 

You can listen to the wisdom or simply use the links below to get what you need for the adventure! 

COACHELLA pack list: 

Clear cross body bag https://amzn.to/3KyPs5S 

Sunscreen https://amzn.to/35Q2Rre 

Compeed blister pack https://amzn.to/36XFAEz 

Ultra thin cell phone charger card https://amzn.to/3KmHY69 Floppy hat / visor https://amzn.to/37ojXgm 

Ultra hydration relief powder packets https://amzn.to/3jhRpru 

Big sunglasses to protect your delicate eye skin area https://amzn.to/3ugTgTQ Emergency whistle https://amzn.to/3ul2Dlo 

Cough drops (Halls minis ) https://amzn.to/3uke78R Eye drops https://amzn.to/3v1y3fQ Chapstick https://amzn.to/3uVutUg 

Peri Pera all in one face lip/cheek festival makeup color https://amzn.to/3umyd2m 

Mini mirror https://amzn.to/3Jl0CKl (this is a 2nd back up safety item I did not mention in the mirror yet I ALWAYS HAVE on me. 

If you get lost, need help, you can use the mirror to catch a light and flash for help/attention. (hahaha...while blowing your whistle. It's funny, but not. 

Your so important. Your safety comes first.) 

So this looks like a lot - though if you get the little sizes, and condense for 1-2 uses in the day you can make your load in small for the day. Use it. Then replenish for the next day! 

 Have fun! ******

 HI ya Gorgoues!

In fact, I'm already planning what I'm going to wear! I love this dress and boots! Even though it's still really hot to be wearing - a gal can dream, right?

This green dress is Christmas party perfect! Especially for me as I have yet to shed the pandemic pounds.

Golden Globes 2020 - Who Will Wear What

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy day to you! 2020 is in full swing and the beginning of award season for entertainment is about to launch with the Golden Globes on Sunday January 5th on NBC.

 You can watch online at www.nbc.com or your favorite streaming app like Hulu or YouTube TV.  The show starts at 5 p.m. PST.  Some of you may even have a ticket to watch from the stands at the red carpet event.  Have fun and wear sunscreen.

 Some of the talent may show up in sequins and I'm loving the full glam of a floor length dress that is covered in sparkle.

The pastel trend of the past will not be repeated. I'm expecting to see bold bright colors and metallics - lots of metallics.  I think we will see metallic colors in the gowns as well as in the lippies and eye makeup. 

This award show is more of a party and acts like a preview to what is coming for Oscars in February.

Let me know in the comments, what do you think the Golden Globes red carpet will look like in 2020? It's the first award show of the decade!

NYFW 2019 - What Can Be Worn and What To Look For

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I've been out and about lately and not keeping my proverbial thumb on what's hot n'happenin'  but these images coming out of NYFW. Yes Ma'am to most of it!

Except the crystal beard. I'm not about that. Who ever had that idea - knew how to make a fashion statement!

I am ALL about Pat McGrath and the fabulous fantastic fantasy out of this world lashes! Lots of statement lashes in size and color. You know I loves me some navy blue mascara! Or plum toned mascara! Or forest green mascara! What I don't love is neon mascara --- all over --- only on the tips and outer corners of the lash for me when it comes to wearing neon colors on lashes!

Now when it came to actual wearable clothes for the everyday lady like me, I saw these looks on the Teen Vogue page of coverage while I was looking for images and I must say, I'm really liking the comeback of leather clothes - pants, skirts and dresses and fingers crossed this is faux leather - like, pleather baby!

Anything green gets my vote and is quite possibly my color of all time! I'm loving the full swingy A line skirt, the dress and that pantsuit, in grey, with a shirt please!


But the real story is Rihanna and Fenty. Whoa.

 Keep your eyes on what this line is doing next in the world of women's lingerie and Victoria's Secret better be on notice that their market share just got snatched!

Word is, there will be a replay of this show on Amazon Prime and I think it's something I plan to tune in for.  It's not just the panty fashion, it's the performances. 

Plus the variety of women sizes that were models.  I've read that women of all sizes and colors were included and that is what intrigues me. Finally. Thank you Rihanna.  I can't be the only one who wants to see real women represented and not just the same stick thin model like in a Victoria's Secret fashion show.  I watched half of one once and that was enough for the lifetime.

So cheers to RiRi and cheers to the Fenty launch into fashion!
Now let me know in the comments who is wearing and watching what!

FunktionalWearables and Work It Out Wednesday!

Hi ya Gorgeous!

First, apologies. I always post first thing in the morning and this post was going to be no different! That is until some family in southern California got caught in a wildfire while other family is still flooded out by Harvey and  as of right now, dear friends are facing Irma, head on!

It has put a kink in the past few  days!  So now, meet Funktional Wearables - a way to add style and flare to your Fitbit.

I received some beautiful samples from them and love the leatherette bracelet, which fits my Fitbit.  The other two beautiful samples that I received don't fit mine and I think it's because I got a replacement from the Fitbit factory when mine other one burnt out on it's warranty.

The prices range from about $10 to $35 for the leatherette bracelette you see below.

I have a video demo for you - and you can get your Funktional Wearables at their website or Amazon!

This begs the question, when would now be a good time to recommit to your New Year's resolutions for health and fitness? You can do it!

BEARLY film teaser trailer inside

 Hi ya Gorgeous,

Quick update on blog things and film making and going  forward with good intentions!

Makeup University has been around for seventeen years - whoa -17 years and that's jsut a portion of my makeup  artistry work.  All  ofhat makeup doing business startedvia a sideways connection from my film making.

See, I started makeup sideways on a film set where I was working on the crew in a different capacity and one thing led to another and the next thing you  know I was doing makeup full time and had more gigs paying the bills versus directing film and video gigs. Phew.

So I stuck with it. That is until my wee cub, the love of my life said he had no desire in taking over the makeup business  but really loved video making, story telling and content creation.  Sigh.

So I dusted off some old scripts I had and moved forward  in their production.  I have Jael A Western Tale, Nascar Nights, BEARLY and ZBoy all in various stages of production .

Which brings me to BEARLY - which just had it's teaser trailer drop, you can  see that below. Enjoy and stay tuned for more makeup mixed with film posts!






It's the last day to get your BEARLY tshirt/tank!  Remember to look on the BACK!

NYFW: DiY sore stiletto toe remedy with Erika Katz

9 Best Fall Perfumes

Fall's fragrance line-up is filled with new fruity, floral, and musky scents -- but which one would you like? We tried them all to give you personalized scent descriptions

This is a TotalBeauty.com perfume article Dying to find out what Lady Gaga's "Fame" or Chanel's new "Coco Noir" smell like? We've got you covered. Unlike the manufacturer's vague descriptions of "lovely," "feminine," or "powerful," we break it down and give you a description that goes beyond stating the top notes. These real reviews evoke emotions and memories so that you have a better idea of what scent best matches your fragrance personality. Read real reviews

It’s that time of year again; New York Fashion Week. As the world’s hottest fashion designers and biggest stars get ready to make their way to the Big Apple, everyone is gearing up to make an impression. 

Whether you’re working long hours behind the scenes or simply strutting in your hottest heels, there’s no doubt that Fashion Week can take its toll on your feet. 
 

Erika Katz, beauty expert and author of Bonding over Beauty, has created a DIY Strawberry Peppermint Foot Scrub that is the perfect remedy! Just follow these simple simple steps and you’ll have a soothing foot scrub in no time – now sit back and relax! 

Strawberry Peppermint Foot Scrub

Ingredients:

§         2 cups pureed strawberries

§         1 tablespoon of olive oil

§         1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

§         2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar

§         4 drops peppermint essential oil

 

To Make:

Mix all the ingredients well and put into a pretty jar. It’s great to use strawberries in this recipe because they are rich in salicylic acid which helps dead skin shed more easily. The sugar granules also help to exfoliate skin but are super gentle on delicate skin. You can also keep this recipe in the fridge for up to one week.

To use your scrub, simply rub your feet gently in a circular motion, rinse with warm water, and enjoy the results!

Here are some simple style tips you can use to help update your look:


* Try on the holiday outfit you think you want to wear and make sure it truly flatters and fits the occasion. A quick update would be to add an interesting pair of new shoes or update your jewelry with either a strong statement piece or--the new rage this season--layering multiple necklaces.


* Buy a ruffled or fringed scarf to wear with your winter coat so that you look and feel festive.


* Treat yourself to those full-length boots and wear them with matching tights to update last year's little black dress.


* Choose lacy, patterned black hose to update any holiday dress or skirt from last year.


* Get a pair of long and dramatic false eyelashes attached at your local spa. They will last about three weeks and will make the holidays fun and more glamorous.


* Go discount shopping now for something fun for the holidays. Nordstrom 's Rack has a wonderful designer section that carries clothes that were just recently on their department-store floor. Treat yourself before you need the dress, so you aren't rushed to make a choice.

The Flap about Flip Flops

The Flap about Flip Flops and Your Feet

Ladies, in Arizona where I live, the flip flop in its many incarnations is worn throughout the year. Even to some formal occasions I have seen both men and women wearing a version of the flip flop.Pedicure salons abound in the greater Phoenix area because of the demand for well coiffed heels and toes.

I personally, own several pairs of flip flops from the simple black rubbers to the decorated mini heels with flowers hanging off of them. Right now for the summer of 2008, the roman sandal or a multi-tie lace up over the foot and around the ankle is very popular.

Below I have quoted a foot doctor and his professional opinion on foot care and what kind of damage our beautiful shoes do to our feet. I read it and can agree to limit my heel and flop wearing time to a minimum, but let’s define…what’s minimum? If I am not in flip flops, I’m in heels, and only when running my daily 5K am I in sneakers.

"New York City podiatrist Dr. Oliver Zong warns that flip flops and flats may do more harm than good! According to Dr. Zong, “instead of mimicking the movement of walking barefoot and allowing the foot to naturally roll from heel to toe, a soft-soled shoe actually creates more work for the muscles of the foot therefore tiring them out faster.”

During the summer Dr. Zong often sees patients with symptoms of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or tendonitis of the various muscles of the foot. In fact, a new study published by Auburn University has found that flip flop wearers took shorter steps and their heels hit the ground with less vertical force than when the same walkers wore athletic shoes. According to Dr. Zong, “a soft-soled shoe generally does not allow the foot to naturally roll from heel to toe since it generally has a softer midfoot – and the lack of support will generally cause more injury then good.”


The study also found that people wearing flip flops don’t raise their toes up as much as the legs swing forward to take a step. Dr Zong says that soft-soled shoes call for more gripping of the toes during the gait cycle, and it can cause overuse of the tendons and lead to injury. According to Dr. Zong, to remedy these problems, he recommends patients return to support shoes such as sneakers with a 1-2 inch heel to take the pressure off the plantar fascia (a ligament typically injured and causes heel pain). In the long run, Dr. Zong recommends limiting flip flop use to a few hours a day – the same prescription for women wearing high heels. "

So what’s a gal to wear? What other shoe choice is there really that is fashionable and lovely to look at? Shoes and handbags are my favorite accessory right next to the perfect lip gloss.

I believe, walk softly in the Lord and where a high heel, especially one with a platform. I’ll try to limit my wearing to a minimum…but until it’s boot weather, I think I’ll be barefoot.

Remember, when getting your pedicures to look over the facility for cleanliness, high hygiene practices and use of sanitizers. If you can bring your own personal pedi-tools for use on yourself by the nail technician, you have a better chance of staying fungus and infection free.
All salons have to post their health department inspection list, if there is anything less than an A, don’t use that salon. An “A” rating allows up to 16 infractions. Just think what below an A allows!

Be safe in your barefeet, your flip flops and high heels, just keep it to a minimum!
