A few months ago I wished a good friend of mine happy birthday and she responded by saying “Thanks girl. 29! I’m a little depressed!”
I think she was maybe referencing that she felt old or something? She’s only lived a fraction of her life (hopefully!) and she already feels like that?! So sad to me!
We’ve been listening to The Power of Now in our little household and it has so many good points. Here are a few good tidbits from it:
“If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.”
― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
“All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.”
― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
When I’m getting caught up in worry I’ve been trying to remember to just be in the moment. Sounds a little cheesy but it totally helps.
So back to aging. Last year I was prepping to teach a class to women who’s ages ranged from 21-99 and I wanted to have some good quotes. During my search, I happened upon this post written by one of my favorite people, Cara. She said pretty much everything I was thinking, but better. You can read it here.
Complexion: Lancome Absolue bx foundation, Laura Mercier Secret Concealer #2, Maskcara cosmetics to contour in Stone, Tarte Cheek Stain Flush
Eyes: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer, Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, Lancome Artliner in Noir, Flare Lashes Combo Ardell, Lancome Brow Pencil in Taupe
Lips: Urban Decay lip liner in Catfight, Bobbi Brown Crystal
Isn’t Karri beautiful?
She was one of my models for a class that I did for the darling Steph of Hair and Makeup by Steph. (ps Steph teaches hair styling classes and she’s amazing!)
I love Ms. Steph. She’s a good one. 
I will be offering some new types of classes for those who would like to be makeup artists (all levels.) If you’re interested either comment below or shoot me an email and let me know what kinds of things you’d like to learn, I want the classes to be as useful as possible!

You do such amazing work! Do you do makeovers for anyone? How much? I would love to know how to make myself look younger. I feel like I am ageing daily!
Yes I do! If you email me (link is at the bottom of my blog) we can send you info!
You did my hair & makeup for family pictures a few months ago and I LOVED it!
I would love to take a class on techniques of applying eyeshadow ( somehow mine never looks as good as yours and others make-up artists pics) and highlighting and contouring.
Hi! How are you!? Yes I’d love to do a class! If you’d like to email me (the link to my email address is at the bottom of my blog) we’ll send you the class info!
I would love to attend a class – especially interested in highlighting and contouring.
Me too! Particularly highlighting and contouring since those are things I haven’t worked with much.
Yes!!! I cant say it enough how much I love your work 🙂 For me I want to find a foundation that I love and looks amazing on my skin and last all day. But honestly any class will do!
Um I just saw this. Love that photo!!

Hey girl! Okay so um, what about a class for a mom who wants to look awesome every day but has no idea how to do her make up? “cause thats the class I SOOOOOO want. I would even get a group of us together if you would prefer. We could all line up in front of little mirrors like on House Bunny… okay totally kidding. But really I would LOVE for someone to sit me down and say this is what you need to use and this is how you need to use it. please please please please– don’t make me beg!
