100!

Yay, this blog has now had 100 views.  I know, I checked.  I didn't think anyone read this, I even double checked to make sure that it wasn't counting my own views, as I've psyched myself out this way before.  Ok so maybe the majority of those views were spam bots, I don't care.  100 is a big number.  Thanks to ya'll with human eyeballs who've taken the time to read, I appreciate it.
In case you were wondering what those lovely products are in the pictures, here they are from left to right. t Chanel glossimer in Galactic, MAC's skinfinish powder in Whisper of Gilt and MAC's Beauty Powder in Tahitian Sand.  They were tucked away in my personal cache of makeup.  One day I'll take a picture of my work stash versus my personal makeup stash.  It will be really quite revealing.  Actually it will show that I wear very little makeup on a daily basis and that I save all the good stuff for my clients.  My beauty regimen involves moisturizer, cleanser, lots of water, for washing and for drinking, sleep and tons of vitamin supplements.  That and well groomed brows.  Everything else is icing on the cake.  Makeup is for date nights, light work days, and playtime.  I practically have to hire a babysitter to be able to put my makeup on without having to run interference with my kids and animals. I'd rather sleep those extra 10-20 minutes than put my face on.  I have a very comfortable bed. It's a shameful state of affairs.

It's time to break out the brushes and dust off my travel gear

After a long hiatus (3+ years), I'm feeling like it's time to pull out my brushes and get back to making people up.  I took some time off so that I could focus on being a mom to a new baby girl and my first girl and recharge my creative batteries but now, that old familiar craving is creeping up on me.  I feel the need to get my hands messy and make someone, anyone, everyone beautiful.  Or at least more colorful.  This is one of the things I love to do and I really had ignored it and denied it for three years.  I barely even made up my own face.  These past three years have been great, I've had fun watching my girls become the people they're growing up to be.  I love the fact that I've been here for them every new step of the way, I wouldn't trade that time for anything, but now I'm a little restless.  I'm not ready for the full on hectic travel schedule of being on set all the time.  I'm going to ease on in with some weddings and photo shoots, a little local work.  Once my girls are older and more self sufficient, I just might throw myself into this all the way.  Maybe.  I really love my bed, my home and my family a little too much to be gone as often as I would have to be if I did this thing full time.  For now, I'm just enjoying getting back into the swing of things.  YAY Makeup!
