What happened

Hello Gorgeous.
Holy smokes.
The new year.
Whoa.
This is the first time in the nine years that I have been writing Makeup University that I have EVER missed a post.
I'm not quite sure what happened but here's a start. The New Year's Eve travel ended with me being sicker than sick. In fact, I just may have invented a new sick with the level of snot that my body made.

Then it was back to school for Mancub. Who encountered the most vile of bully. This bully came back from Fall semester suspension with a fresh can of kid'hole to inflict on the students in the Spring semester.  Not good.

Oh, and I had to travel for a gig. Not just any gig. But a 9 day beast of a gig. I'm glad to be on it, but it's a grind. It's a 14 hours a day for 9 days kind of thing that is part joy and part horror.

Where I was staying on location had very slow internet that when I logged on made every virus bell ding and dong on my laptop.

So in the middle of being sick, Mancub having to fight for his life at school and the gig of all gigs with slow infected online access-I just didn't get my posts written.

*sigh* I'm sorry. I feel like I have let you down. That was not my intention. I just got caught up in life. Like a tidal wave of bad funk life and didn't meet my obligation.

I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Going forward with good intentions for this amazing new year!

2015: the new year and resolutions

Hello Gorgeous!
I love making new year resolutions!
I keep the majority of them in some form or another! I think a list of resolutions is a great way to help shape your goals!

 What has closed out for the year 2014-no drinking pop and going the 2nd mile for others.
I went about a week without Coke Zero! Though finished the second mile campaign with a beach fire with friends.

Now-let's talk about 2015 new year resolutions and goals!

1. Complete 2 fitness events: Tempe Triathlon and Las Vegas Rock n Roll marathon. I love training and this year I'm going to play with this app. Do you use it?

2. Partner on 2 women's empowerment events: part beauty and part brains! I'm interviewing beauty brand sponsors now-so excited!

3. Travel: The Arizona Memorial in Hawaii, one international trip with my Mancub, Monterey Bay aquarium, Biosphere tour for Mancub and back to Catalina! I want to do more than 2 fishing trips this year!

I've got more, but this is enough to get started with now!
What about you? Do you make resolutions?

And just for fun and cuteness-here's Abednego. She's a happy cat!

How To Wear Holiday Colors And Still Look Chic

You don't have to shy away from red and green color combos when it comes to makeup. Check out our festive color palettes that are perfect for your next holiday party

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article It's easy enough to decorate for the holidays, but when it comes to beautifying your face in a festive manner, only a few things come to mind: Sparkles, sparkles, and more sparkles -- or a predictable (and often tacky) red and green color combo. Believe it or not, there actually is a way to make traditional holiday colors and shimmers (think golds, silvers, and icy blues) work for makeup looks. We've put together five holiday-ready color palettes that will not only leave you looking chic and sophisticated, but also add a breath of fresh air to your winter beauty routine. See color combos

 Hello Gorgeous!
Cheers to your Happy New Year! Now, I know we all want to look better, so here's a resource to help you with your look good/feel good resolutions you may have made!

There’s no fountain of youth but the good news is there are scientifically proven strategies and solutions that can make every woman look, feel, and act younger (and here’s the amazing part) in just seven weeks.

7 YEARS YOUNGER: The Revolutionary 7-Week Anti-Aging Plan (7YY/Hearst Magazines, January 2, 2012), a new book by the editors of Good Housekeeping magazine. Based on extensive product research conducted by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute on hundreds of volunteers, plus interviews with 100+ experts including dermatologists, brain scientists, stress reduction researchers, exercise experts, makeup artists, hairstylists, nutritionists, life coaches, and psychologists, the book delivers a practical anti-aging plan that you and your readers can start today.

Here’s just a sampling of the many surprising (and usable) stop-the-clock strategies for beauty, diet, fitness and health:
-Take a few minutes each day to mentally savor the things you’re thankful for, and you’ll sleep better and longer each night  (pg. 240)
- Choose a hydrating or satin-finish liquid foundation, as hormone levels dip and your skin gets drier (pg. 70)
- Shampoo less frequently to avoid hair dye color-fade. Refresh on your off days by spraying on a dry shampoo at the roots to soak up oil and restore volume (p. 108).
