Hello all! We have made it through another month! For 2020, I feel like that is saying something 😂! I hope everyone’s month has been going well and everyone has been staying safe and healthy. I feel like June has gone by pretty quickly. I think I’ve had things going every week for me to try and keep up with.  I went to the dentist for my regular cleaning, and I spoke with my dentist about my TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) that has flared back up again. We knew that my having braces didn’t cure me of my TMJ, it’s something that we’re having to work on over the course of years because of my hypermobility. My bite has changed again, so we are working on fixing that again. He also put me on a soft food diet to help with the pain and referred me to rehab to correct a tongue thrust.  We made a couple of weekend trips up to the Dallas area to visit our family friend, Karl. We were with him as we celebrated the life of his father, Ottie, who passed away at the beginning of th...

Using an HD setting powder / a setting powder with flashback to an event/occasion using flash photography You have to be careful with setting powders when you are going to be taking pictures. If you watch beauty YouTubers, you may remember James Charles’ “Flashback Mary” situation as he likes to call it. There are a lot of setting powders that will cause flashback when taking photos with flash, or in other words, creating a white cast in the picture.  Now here are a few ways that you can try to prevent this from happening. Stay away from HD setting powders when you know that you are going to be getting photos taken. Always look at reviews before buying the powder, learn from other's experiences! Give it a test run beforehand - especially if it is for your wedding or something important as that. In the test run, do the makeup how you plan to the day of the event, then take photos with both flash and non flash in all different types of lighting so you can get the best idea on how not...

Q: What is one part of your hobby that you hate doing? A: My hobby would definitely be makeup for anyone who doesn't know. The part that I hate doing the most would probably have to be applying false lashes. That's why I don't do it very often! I love the way they look, but I've got just enough of a hand tremor that it's hard to get it right on the lash line! The second would be winged eyeliner - for the same reason - but I've got a few tricks that make it easier so I do winged eyeliner much more often.  Q: What smells aromatically good but tastes like ****?  A: Coffee. I know, I'm the weirdo that doesn't like coffee. To me it tastes absolutely nasty , and if I drink it then I have to put a lot of flavoring in it to get it down. I do like the smell of it though. Stepping into a coffee shop, or just the coffee isle in the grocery store, and taking a deep breath is the best. That's it though. Don't want coffee flavored things, or even scented candl...
