This is an amazing day of celebration, so pass the challah!

Happy Monday!
Wow, what a weekend. It was intense work to say the least! I did the West Valley wedding expo months ago with Jennyvi Dizon a local couture wedding dress designer and the photo has just surfaced.
Enjoy.
This past Sunday, Jennyvi did the East Valley wedding expo,so hopefully soon, there will be some photos of what is current and coming out for the Fall bridal season.
In the meantime…back at the beauty ranch…the daily beauty bit is about Emmy style. According to news reports and Nielsen ratings, the viewership was low. I know I didn’t watch.
Click through to see who wore what and where…
As for us, the every day ladies keeping in touch with what’s great for skin care and cosmetics: I can truly say after this weekends long hot sunny event, that water is a girls’ best friend when it comes to youth. Staying hydrated from the inside out keeps the skin looking healthy and pair that with good serums and moisturizers; you’ll be reflecting the fountain of youth in no time!
Enjoy the beginning of your week!

Ah, the zoo.
Tonight I did a wedding event at the zoo, and believe it or not, it was gorgeous and amazing and as the sun went down, the sky was red orange and the gazelle pen was full of peacocks and relaxing animals that made a backdrop straight out of the Serengeti!
Wow!
So, the daily beauty bit is for wedding hairstyles, and I love it.
I love to do brides, but better yet; I love to teach women to do their own makeup for their weddings so they can save money and spend it on cake or a honeymoon.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Saturday. If you need to book an artist for your wedding day, contact me, or; just get the book!
p.s. I have old first editions of the book available for $5…fresh from the estate sale table. There are a couple left, some Arbonne versions and some regular. Send five bucks and a self addressed stamp envelope ( or paypal it) to me and I’ll sign it and get it out to you, toot sweet!

Okay, so my yard sale has nothing to do with curly hair…except the fact that my hair is curly on the bottom and straight on the top crown area of my head making for a weird patter. A perm is out of the question.
Enjoy the daily beauty bit, then come see me at my sale and pick up some great stuff from my makeup kit plus many other fabulous items…all on sale at a ridiculously low price.

Guest review by TotalBeauty.com editor Sarah Carrillo

If you’re tired of your shower smelling like a tropical rain forest, try the Affirmation Body Shampoo from Ted Gibson.

I actually like a sweet flowery smell in my shower! What I love most about the daily beauty bits link is that you get a real review from a real person, just like me, who has actually bought it and used it.
Enjoy the personal opinion and post yours too!
So, I’m having an “estate” sale tomorrow, and a ton of my makeup kit goods are up for grabs before they reach their expiration date. Yes, makeup has an expiration date.
So come see me at Halifax and Mesa dr in Mesa…
In the meantime, tell me what you are using now, what’s working and what’s awful!
Speaking of…have you been watching Dancing with the Stars? I didn’t see the Wednesday night elimination round, but what I can tell you so far, is that this season is in no way shape or form as strong as two seasons ago when Helio was on.
Alas, at least they have their false lashes on. I had mine on yesterday and it’s funny how it makes people do a double take when they see you…and try and figure out “what’s different about her face?”. It’s a good thing!
Remember, the best time to buy lashes in bulk for the Holiday party season and beyond is November 1st…right after Halloween.
More to come!

Ah hah! Hair success! I went to Alli at the Superstition Springs ULTA on Hampton. I was using the coupon from the local ad, free hair cut with color. So, it’s my second trip to her, and the first one I used a coupon too. This was to ensure that if the event was horrible, at least I wouldn’t have paid alot for it!
Actually, I can recommend Alli with a smile and confidence that she will do right by your style.
I got the same color, Redken Shades EQ in 3NB. This is a demi permanent color that when baggied on the head and baked up under the dryer can cover gray,roots, deposit color and protect the hair integrity…all in 30 minutes!
I came out with a heavy bang, shorter length to try and cut off some of the bleached damage from last February!!! I”m happy. Is it wow? No. But it’s still good and the coupon is in the paper and you can print it off of the ULTA website under “current ad”.
If you live in the East Valley, try Alli for your cut and color.
Now: this coming weekend is Jennyvi’s East Valley Bridal show and it’s going to be amazing. I”m not doing the makeup because I’m booked for another gig, but…still go and see some of the freshest couture that is affordable and local, plus pick up a free fat swag bag!
Also: my weekly makeup workshops are up, as well as the October 7th Makeup 101 workshop at the Fresh Start Women’s Foundation is still booking and….drum roll please…
I will be doing a Fall class at FORD Robert Black for new models as well as a large modeling search event at the Scottsdale Hyatt at Gainey Ranch.
Stay tuned for booking details and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Hi, I know, I know. I never posted the last new hair cut I got and it’s because I don’t have the cable that goes from the camera to my laptop…instead, I have to do this whole rig-a-ma-ro to get the pictures out of Gigcard hell and onto my page.
Sooo…..I tell you all this because I am going for another hair cut and color today to update my look for new media head shots being taken tomorrow.
Stop screaming! I know the horror! A new color and cut the day before a shoot? Am I looney? No, just short on time.
Either way, I”ll try again for the photos…promise.
I am going to the same gal who did it the last time, Ally, at Ulta at Superstition Springs. They have a coupon, buy a color get a free hair cut. So I’m really motivated.
If you haven’t tried Ally at SS Ulta, it’s worth the coupon and freebie. More details to come….
