Down the Rabbit Hole but Looking Fresh in PEEK!!

Folks, it's been a WILD month. A month full of big moments...bittersweet moments; Chapters ending and new ones beginning. This Momma, Friend, Teacher, Wife has experienced the full gamut of emotions this month and I'm exhausted, relieved, excited, and most of all blessed and full of pride! Let's just run through the major events that have happened in the last four weeks--

*Mother's Day

*Angel's Baseball Games

*My Little Man's High School Graduation--my baby!!

*My favorite students of all time graduating

*School of Rock (the musical 2x)

*Tying up the crazy loose ends of the school year

*Summer Break!

*Mini Family Reunion at the Beach!!

*Family Graduation parties

*Winery Outings

*Father's Day

*(A little interview for a new job....eeeek!!)

*And Little Lady's FIDM Graduation

Lot's of stuff, right?!! It's been exhilarating. My Little Lady was blessed with the opportunity to intern with PEEK beauty for a short time which I was super excited about!! I had become familiar with PEEK through a lip balm that I received in one of my Birchboxes. The product is a natural plumping lip balm in the perfect peachy nude color called Nom Nom.

With so many events and not a lot of time I was drawn to PEEK cosmetics when getting ready. The products are solid!! I'm hooked on the eyeshadows!! They go on effortlessly with excellent coverage and the nicest satin finish. The product wears perfect ALL DAY LONG and has the most beautiful finish. I found myself taking to the same routine using Eye Will Stay 250K8 long-wearing eyeshadows with a MAC paint primer, Stubborn Brown powerpoint eyeliner, They're Real mascara from Benefit Cosmetics and finished off with Peek's Nom Nom lip balm. Easy, pretty, and the perfect "everyday" look! Thank you PEEK Beauty for providing the media that allowed me to look "put together" when there was chaos in abundance!! Haha!!

So what has life thrown at you in the past month?? I would love to know!! xx

He thought I was 24!!!!

I am literally weeks away from turning 30 years old and to tell you the truth….very excited about it. I’m not all caught up in feeling like I’m getting old and all that hoopla. I’ ve always thought I’ ve looked young for my age and have enjoyed growing up and maturing. I was taken aback recently when somebody I see on a regular basis due to work related duties commented on me being the same age as they were after telling me they were 24 years old….I was shocked. I was like, “honey, you’re just a baby!” and he commented back about how we were the same age and I was like, “NO……I’m hitting 30 here!” He was really surprised. Well I thought about this little fortunate exchange of words for a while. What about me make people think I am younger than what I actually am? I’ ve always been on more of the mature side. My best friends are all older than me….even by 8 or more years. So it’s not me acting immature that makes me look young. I’ ve had two kids so I don’t have that cute hip body an...

A "Wrinkle" in Time (pun intended)

First things first. I need to just touch on this span of time that has gone by in a wink of an eye. A span of time that has taught me some valuable life lessons along with some tough love, and thankfully moments of pure joy. A decade. An entire decade. This is the amount of time that has gone by since I first started dabbling in documenting my experiences with cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances! Whoa, geez! So much has happened over the past decade. An experience of broken bone hell (you can read all about it at: diary of my broken ankle hell ), degrees earned (SpEd teaching credential and Masters Degree), careers started (from freelance makeup artist to high school special education RSP teacher), purchased and built a new home, my awesome sassy pants daughter graduated from high school and eventually moved on to study marketing in the beauty industry at FIDM (a girl after my own heart!), a sweetheart son who recently turned eighteen and is on the verge of graduating high school...

In My Makeup Bag

Okay you all. Hold on tight because I have an awesome product to share with you. It's Matte by MAC Cosmetics . This product is something I've carried in my kit for a couple of years but for some reason it had gotten pushed to the back of my case behind everything else. Kind of like that always great fitting t-shirt that you love and from time to time it gets misplaced or forgotten about but when you find it again and wear it, it feels so right! That is Matte for me in the makeup realm. I was reminded of it today. I was finishing up a consultation that I had with a client and soon to be bride. She looked beautiful. Stunning really! She was perfectly satisfied with her makeup application and felt gorgeous.....but I knew she was missing something. I couldn't put my finger on it at first because of her beautiful blue eyes that were so striking because of the soft smoky plum colors we had applied to her lids and her perfectly pouted peachy glossed lips and her sun-kissed bron...
