Are Your brushes just not soft and pretty anymore? Okay let’s be real, more like they are gross and hammered? I’ll admit it, I used to not clean my brushes very often because I didn’t want to waste my money on things like brush cleaner. But dirty brushes can be really nasty. Think about all the old makeup, oils, bacteria, and dead skin cells that can start to build up over time. YUCK. And not only that but when they aren’t clean they can alter the color of your make-up and the way it applies on your skin! So, I have found a solution! BABY WASH!! If you have any kids I bet you have some laying around somewhere! I use Honest Baby Wash because my daughter has really sensitive skin and this wash works for us, but you can use any baby wash you have! It works like a dream! I wash them about once a month, just like I would wash my hair. ( Just kidding. I wash my hair at least twice a month..ha-ha) Tip: I was them when I am in the shower at night! Who has time for both? haha! Just lather them with the wash, scrub and rinse with water. DONE! Then I lay them on a towel to dry over night! It’s like you wake up to all new brushes with out having to buy a thing! Yes please! Now go get washin’! 😉

I get a lot of questions about my HAIR! First things first- I have extremely thick hair. My entire family has the thickest hair you’ve ever seen. ha-ha! (If you know us, you know how insane it is) So no, I don’t wear extensions. Second, I do NOT color my hair.(I wrote this before I actually did color my hair-but I will not be making a habit of it. One and done type of deal! ha-ha) So I know that plays a big part in the health of my hair as well. But I do have other secrets that I think help, So I am going to share them with you!

1. I shower and wash my hair at night! I know a lot of people shower in the morning, but with my 3 littles running around, I don’t have time in the morning. Plus I like getting in my clean sheets to go to bed, feeling clean too! The nights I wash my hair, I will brush it with my wet brush, then braid it! (Pony tails or top-knots put a lot of tension on your hair, which can cause it to break) The nights I don’t wash it, I will still braid it. (If you don’t know how to braid, learn! It really is so simple, and Braids are the bomb.com.)

2. I haven’t used a blow dryer on my hair in…I can’t even remember! My hair is naturally straight, but that is another reason why the braids are helpful!! If you have naturally frizzy hair, straight hair, curly hair etc. the braid will give it a cute wave once it’s dry!

3. Not only do I not blow dry my hair, but I very rarely use any form of heat! My go-to hair styles are braids, the waves left over from my braids, a top-knot/double top-knot. On a rare occasion I will curl my hair, but when I say rare, I mean RARE. Ha-ha.

4. Besides dry shampoo, I don’t use products on my hair. The more products you use, the more gunk/chemicals are in your hair.

5. Speaking of dry shampoo, it is my life savor. Why? Because washing my hair happens once a week, maybe. Here is how it goes; Wash. day 1-Braid. day 2-waves. day 3-waves&Half up top-knot. day 4-Top-knot. Day 5-double top knot. Day 6-Braid. Day 7-Dry shampoo&waves. day 8-hat. Wash&repeat. Ha-ha Okay that’s not exactly how it goes all of the time, but that is pretty dang close. Go longer than you think you can between washes-you and your hair will thank me for it later!! 😉

6. I use Costco shampoo&conditioner or good old Pantene Pro-v. I am a licensed cosmetologist, so I know a lot of you will challenge me on this. But Me (and my hair) will challenge you right back 😉 I have used the (expensive) fancy stuff, and didn’t see a single difference. And since my hair takes up an entire bottle in one wash..let’s just say with the cheap stuff, My wallet is happy, my hair is happy, I am happy. Ha-ha!!

7. Lastly, every single night before bed,  I brush my hair with my Y.S Park Brush (or wet brush if it’s wet) and massage my scalp. Sometimes I will lay on the end of my bed and let my hair fall towards the ground, with my head hanging upside down to get more blood flow to the roots of my hair. Not only does it help with hair growth, but it helps calm me down for the night!

SO, there you have it! Those are my current Hair Secrets! I hope you try some of my tips&tricks, and that they work for you!

Cheers to dirty(healthy) hair 😉 😉 😉

With Love,

Being in the industry I was in, makeup became a part of me. Which is funny because I never wore makeup before dancing for the Utah Jazz. And even after making the team, they told me I needed to wear more. I was totally clueless on how to do it, So I would watch other girls and wing it, or I would just have them do it for me! Then I moved to LA and danced for the Los Angeles Clippers. There we were sponsored by MAC and were given an actual makeup class. It was amazing. That day I remember going home and practicing my makeup for hours! I loved it!! And have loved it ever since!!

Another thing I came to love was spray tans. I admit it- I like being tan. I worked at a tanning salon in high school and would tan in a bed far too often. SO bad, I know! But I was introduced to spray tans the same time I was introduced to make up, and I haven’t looked back since! #teamspraytan

I get to continue doing these things I love on friends, family, clients, and myself (on very,very few occasions 😉 )! I love getting new clients, So email me for any bookings! I do weddings, special occasions, dances, group parties or just fun makeovers and consultations!

To book an appointment for makeup or spray tans please email me 🙂
