Today has been awesome! School was great, starting out with a presentation of a new contest that Paul Mitchell is hosting for students (future professionals). I got all the details but need to get the packet! Its from May to September and a student can submit 3 photos from a photo shoot displaying artistic skill in hair or makeup. It can follow a theme or be three separate looks. I am super stoked! The winner gets an all expense paid trip to LA to learn more about photo shoots by a celebrity stylist!
Here's a few pics from the winners of last year
I am totally inspired to participate in this, because this is what I want to do! Photo shoots and fashion and have models rockin my looks and visions!
I had a guest in my chair today by the name of Chloe! And she was a breath of fresh air! She has such thick gorgeous curly hair and a bubbly personality, I asked her immediately while lightening her hair from a dark to a beautiful golden brown if she would be interested in being a model for one of my photos for this contest! She said yes! So I am excited to start getting to work!
Lots to do and plan, from story boards, themes, makeup, hair....I could go on and on. But its getting late and need to go to bed when Idol is over :)
Goodnight my sweets! Have a great night or morning!
I didnt go to school today, and I dont know if I was tired, or lazy or just wanted a "me" day but I played hooky or is it hookie? I dont know. But even though I was at home, watching more Glee, I did manage to finish laundry and finish my smartnotes for school and diagram some haircuts. I even updated my LOOK BOOK with new photos of work I have done on my mannequin head and some make up as well, here's a sneak peek of what I put into it:
I also managed to get my brother off his butt and get some things done too!!! I had him take my photo for my chictopia blog. Today was rainy and I got a chance to wear my galoshes..that my husband thinks are crazy, lol but oh well.
Yesterday I did another marble design on my nails.check it out, I am getting better!!!
and while I finished up doing the lil things around the house and helped make dinner, I enjoyed drinking Cream Soda (my #2 fav soda, DR Pepper being my 1st of course in my "Imagine" cup
well, back to trying to finish a video to post. Goodnight my sweets!
Good evening my sweets! I feel so energetic, I dont know if its because I slept in, or just had a yummy chicken salad with white rice ( finally starting to eat healthier!) but I feel awesome. I think I work better in the evenings and nights...whats that called? I think I am nocturnal. lol
I have been cleaning up, doing laundry and just started watching GLEE. I actually really like it. I found it on Netflix..and I am HOOKED.
It is hilarious.....especially this part in one of the episodes: Football team doing choreo to Beyonce's "Single Ladies"
I could not stop myself from laughing. Besides watching this, I updated my new CHICTOPIA blog, a website I found that men and women can post their outfits and you can go on there and comment, get ideas on clothing or advice. You can earn Chic points and shop on the website. I like it and there are so many people who blog on it. So if youre obsessed with fashion like me, check it out: CHICTOPIA
Here is an outfit I posted :
So, now off to finish my Mothers Day art video and get ready for bed.
So, I am rackin my brain on what to blog about today. I have so many ideas but I want to just take this sunday to relax. The family went to a bbq to celebrate my cousins First Communion and that was nice to relax by the pool (although it was too chilly for me to swim in) and hang with my cousins and aunts. It was a muggy day today so I hung indoors mainly. :)
Jermie and I played ping pong and airhockey in the playroom....I suck at ping pong, but master of airhockey!!! (or at least I like to say so....) Is airhockey a sport??? I would be champion!
They caught some crabs from the crabtraps on the pier....and jermie kept tormenting one of them...but later became his dinner....
This was the first time that Jermie actually ate FRESH CRAB. lol! He enjoyed smashing them open.
So, that was my sunday..lounging around, catching up my blogs, youtube and whatever else....lol
Thanks for stopping by sweets..I promise my next post will be more interesting
This past saturday while at school, one of my learning leaders and the "Be Nice or Else" team was helping to make a video on "IT Gets Better" project. For those of you who do not know what this project is, this project is like a support group that is bringing awareness to the bullying to people, more specifically lesbians and gay teenagers and the result of this bullying would lead to many suicide deaths.
Here is a paragraph from their youtube page:
"Growing up isn't easy. Many young people face daily tormenting and bullying, leading them to feel like they have nowhere to turn. This is especially true for LGBT kids and teens, who often hide their sexuality for fear of bullying. Without other openly gay adults and mentors in their lives, they can't imagine what their future may hold. In many instances, gay and lesbian adolescents are taunted — even tortured — simply for being themselves."
I chose to write about this not only because I helped filmed a part of a video for this project, this is something I feel very strongly about. My heart hurts deeply when anyone is being bullied because he or she is different, or strange or weird, or gay. When people are hateful because of sexual orientation, it gets me so angry. Why all this hatred? It is so ignorant! I know so many gay men and women, and all of them, each of them is so beautiful and has such an amazing heart and soul, I dont understand how people can be so judging!
Many celebrities are participating in this project as well, even Keri Hilson
I love that Lady Gaga also talks about this and she is a good example of someone who stands up for the gay community. Check out a video I found that addresses "It Gets Better"
It shouldnt matter of who loves whom, gay or straight, black or white, or whatever, we are all people and unique in our own ways. I am getting off subject, but I just wanted to blog about this and I plan on making a video for the project as well and posting when I can. I hope you take the time to check their youtube page out and be more aware of the bullying of gay and lesbian teens and adults.
Thanks for stopping by my sweets. Have a great night!
I was online watching my many subscriptions and one of the people I watch online posted a new video as a tribute to Mother's Day. See her video below:
I love her cute accent and her sense of humor and best of all, I love her painting style. We all have our own creative skills and I am finally exploring mine more and more each day. VALSARTDIARY is her channel on youtube and she is holding a contest sort of where you can upload your artwork that is inspired by your mom in one way or another.
So I uploaded a few pieces of mine into a video below:
She will select art and compile it all into her next video. So, I think it would be pretty awesome to have my work on another channel. OK, my sweets, I am tired and this week is starting fresh, so off to get my beauty rest :)
First, my sweets, I want to wish every mother out there a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all spent you day doing something awesome with or for your mother. As for me, I was able to spend today with my kids and husband along with my aunt and her son (my cousin). Our original plans were to go to Cape Henry Lighthouse and see the sights from the top. But the weather was a lil "ify" so we had changed our plans to go paint our own ceramics at a place called "Color Me Mine" studio.
So here we were at our table painting. We all chose our own ceramic: Matthias chose a jet to paint, Arabella painted a puppy, I painted a "paint palette" and jermie painted me a mermaid for mothers day, and everyone had their own thing that they were painting.

When we were done painting, and we got home, I was presented with my Mother's Day presents: I got 4 nail polishes and a teal watch from Target! This was the Best Mother's Day! I hope everyone else was able to have a great weekend!
