Mind Your Molecules set Makeup with Chef Melsan

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday!
Oh June - your marine layer gloom is a joy to me! Super windy? No problem. It's blowing away the dead leaves and revealing new growth in the soil. You get what you focus on - so focus on the good!

Today's blog is a behind the scenes video from a cooking show pilot shoot with Chef Melsan of Mind Your Molecules. Such a fun day creating food and videos!  We laughed all day long and into the night. This video is me getting her camera ready and then I moved behind the camera to direct the videos. Good times!

Enjoy the "prep" and please check out her channel. If you are interested in personal chef lessons on how to prepare molecularly sound food!




A lil bit of behind the scenes for Mind Your Molecules with Chef Melsan. She has just launched her personal cooking school for molecularly sound food preparation. 

We captured a birthday dinner for a family friend and the content will start releasing on her IG and Youtube channels : @ChefMelsan on IG and on YouTube @MelindaMalovoz https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4q5... 

Now in this video, I am doing her makeup to be camera ready for the video. Yes, I hung up my brush belt though in this situation, it was necessary.

 I used my all time faves Smashbox, the new L'Oreal Lumi foundation and some essence cosmetics products.

What Are You Working On Now?

 Hi ya Gorgeous,

This year is fast on it's way to a close. How are you doing? Are you still pushing towards goals you set back in January? I'm sharing a video and it's what I've been working on this past year. Wow. Funny how when you do a lil' bit all the time, how it adds up!  Keep going Beauty! You got this!

This video is a cross over from my other channel - it's my current producer and director reel that I have been using to book some new gigs.
It took me a long time. I would say, almost two years to finally make peace with being behind the camera as both makeup artist and director.  That crossover firmly happened with the making of the World Is Still Spinning music video for Sedona Skies band in Austin Texas.

Yes, I still beauty blog, and do breakthrough events for women empowerment, though I just do it around my filming schedule now.






I say all of this to encourage you - that when you are transitioning it can be messy, confusing, and trust me, it's going to take longer than you think, so please be kind and have patience with yourself!

Thank you for being a part of the cross over with me!
MakeupUniversity and Lions Rest have lots to get started on for 2019!
Stay tuned!

When Life Goes 2.0 - World Is Still Spinning Music Video with Sedona Skies

 Hi ya Gorgeous,
Happy Monday! I love a Monday. Today's blog post is a look at the 2.0 self. It has taken me two years to get to the place where I fully feel comfortable being makeup artist beauty blogger as well as producer and director in family adventure entertainment content.

This music video for the Sedona Skies song, World Is Still Spinning is shot  in Arizona, by special permit in Union Pass along the original road before the interstate was built.

Actresses Leslie Chester and her daughter Abigayle portray the story of a young girl having dreams of a wedding day celebration and the journey to her dreams intermingled with the adult woman walking to the expectation.

The overall tone of the images to the song is that of managing disappointments and expectations.

The actresses wear  a hand made Jennyvi Dizon couture silk and lace dress.

HISTORY
The rock house by the side of the road at Union Pass stands today as a monument to Jonathan Draper Richardson and his wife Victoria, who bequeathed the house to their descendants on condition that they never cut down the trees and that they give water to any thirsty traveler. The spot where Richardson chose to build his rock house is less than a quarter of a mile east of Highway 68 on the crest of the Black Mountains- the mountain wedge known as Union Pass.

In 1897, Richardson, his wife and three children settled there, the area, had lush native vegetation, ample water and just enough flat land to accommodate a pioneer homestead.  We settled at Union Pass in 1897 on a homestead (160 acres) where my parents lived the rest of their lives”. When the Richardson’s arrived they found the remains of an old Army post that had been established there to protect the immigrants from Indians on the old road from Kingman to the Colorado River.  Using hand tools only, Draper and Victoria maintained the narrow winding road over Union Pass, three miles each way from their house.
