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

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...

INTERVENE by Elizabeth Arden

It’s that time of year again when I am just totally and completely consumed with bridal makeup! I love it. I love being a part of making a woman feel and look beautiful on one of the most special days of her lives. She knows she looks her best as she is gliding down that aisle to her beloved….her future….her hopes and dreams in front of her as she passes by her family and friends. I starting to notice that there was a difference in the final result of a makeup application on a woman on her wedding day and I needed to put my finger on what made a woman glow on her wedding day. I think it just comes from within. Like maybe from the joy and excitement or maybe from the sweet anticipation that the bride feels as she is getting ready to start the rest of her life as a married woman. Whatever it is…I am always on the look out for those products that give that “Special Glow.” As always, I am constantly trying new products. Of course I have my constant favorites in which I am loyal to but I al...

URBAN DECAY Spring 2010!!!

One thing that I can absolutely say is that my life is never, ever dull! Just when I thought I was on the path of freedom--on my way-- literally --to celebrate the completion of my teaching credential program I took a lame spill off my porch and broke my ankle! What a dork! I find out if I need surgery tomorrow.....but in the meantime, when I'm not totally doped up and loopy, I've decided to catch up on some reading, writing, and planning of birthday parties and family vacations we would like to take this year. First off, I couldn't wait to share my ever consuming love of Urban Decay Cosmetics with everyone. It just so happens that it ties in very well with the preparation of my daughter's 12th birthday party that we are planning for her--an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatters' birthday! Consequently, Urban Decay just released their Alice in Wonderland palette last week! I must get my fingers on this darling palette full of great shadows, 24 7 liners, and a primer p...
