The Holidays Are Here!

So I thought that I would post some tips that can help you look fabulous even when you are in a pinch for time.

A glittery hair flower in red or white is a very festive touch. Just pin one in the your hair, and you have instant Christmas spirit.



A flower isn't your thing? Well how about a ponytail? To get this look, slick the top of your hair back. Leave a one inch section out of the bottom before putting all of your hair into a ponytail. Secure and then smooth out any bumps. Take the section that you left out and wrap around the ponytail elastic. Pin the ends of that strand under the ponytail where they wont show. To get the fullness in the ponytail, backcomb the hair starting at the top of the tail try to work only on the hair in the center of the tail and work your way down. Lightly brush the stands to smooth them out and spray!



And if you have short hair, you can always do a simple twist. The photo below is braided, but you can achieve the same feel with alot more easy by twisting the hair and then pinning.



Lastly, nothing says the Holidays like glitter. So feel free to sprinkle or spray hair glitter on any of your looks.

What Has Been Happening In My World

I haven't posted in a while, and for that, I do apologize. I have been so crazy busy with work and life.
The Halloween holiday kept me very busy with everything from up dos to makeup applications and photo shoots.

And here is a photo that was taken at the Jean Dry Lake Beds. The weather was really cold and windy there, and due to the wind, it was very dusty.
Even thought our model was freezing, she did a great job at holding it together and landing some great shots.

I have worked non stop for the past 16 days. Today was the first day that I took the whole day off to rest. I am thinking about putting some blonde into my hair and my daughter wants a cut and color. But, as hard as it was, I had to tell myself...not today.
