Katy Perry Tutorial Request

Coming Soon
Just like it says, here are some things that are coming soon!!!
My Fragrance For Summer
I am in LoVe with this scent for Summer time. It is from Lacoste and is called Touch of Spring. I usually wear Victoria’s Secret, Angel for winter then go right into PINK or Love Spell for summer months. Then THIS bad boy took over in the “most used” category some time ago. I have always been more into light, airy on the border of being a bit citrusy but NO musty smells for me!!! Having said that however, I always seem to be behind someone in line or at church that is a fan of the musty…..blah. What’s your scent this season? Musty fans, don’t shy away. Let us know what you like too!!! =)
Blemishes Be Gone!!!
*CAUTION* Scary images below! If you have just eaten, I recommend you wait at least an hour!!!!! I had a bad reaction to something but wanted to show you how to cover up blemishes really well. We all need it now and then right? =)
Twilight’s Jane
So I lOvEd Eclipse and may have seen it twice =). I wanted to do a few looks from the movie and this first one was SO much fun that I can’t wait to do more!!! My hubby was kind enough to make my eyes red in photoshop. How cool is that?!? What looks did you like from Twilight? What lines? Ooh me!! Ooh me!! (insert me with my hand raised as high as it can go in the air) How about,”Let’s face it, I’m hotter than you.” and “I kissed Bella, and she broke her hand, on my face.” “Doesn’t he own a shirt?” SO fun =). Hope you enjoy the tutorial!!!
Miss Ruby Sue
Meet the lovely Lori of Miss Ruby Sue!!! I have personally been able to work my magic on Lori and have had the opportunity to wear her amazing couture head pieces. Ladies??? They are to DIE for!!! I did a 1940’s photo shoot of my and the boys for Father’s Day (below) and Lori came through with all of our darling accessories. I always get tons of compliments when I wear anything of hers! Do you have a wedding coming up? A birthday? Senior portraits? Let Lori work her magic and give you just that extra pinch of sophistication and glamour. Without further adieu, let me introduce you to Lori and her story =):
Born and raised in Rexburg, Idaho, Lori is living her dreams to the fullest. Married to Chad Ward for 16 years, they are happily raising 4 beautiful children Kimball, Madison, Rilee and Kyler. Together watching movies, riding dirt bikes , motorcycling , swimming, laughing and jumping on the tramp to their favorite music have been some of the most memorable and happy times in her life. In 2008 with the help and encouragement of her husband, Lori pursued her career in design and started a small company, Miss Ruby Sue, specializing in custom hats, wedding veils, and women’s fashion accessories. Growing quickly and gaining national attention, Miss Ruby Sue took the fashion world by storm and was featured on Good Morning America, The View, The Today Show, and has since been featured in several national magazines, along with several celebrity clients as her customers, located all over the world.
But No matter how much fame and success Lori has accomplished, none of it compares to the love and acceptance she feels at home with her family. She believes that happy confidant women hold the keys to a strong and stable family life, and nothing else in life is more important that raising happy, confident children – and you can do it looking fabulous in Miss Ruby Sue couture!

Homemade Brush Cleanser on am 590
– 1 cup bottled or distilled water
– 1/4 cup alcohol ( I use 99%) This will be your disinfecting, sanitizing & antibacterial agent
– 1/2 TBSP dish soap (if it can cut grease on your dishes, think of the grease on your brushes)
– 1/2 TBSP gentle shampoo (I used Avalon Organic Shampoo from Walmart)*
– 1 TBSP spray leave-in-conditioner (not cream) to condition bristles
– 1/4 cup alcohol ( I use 99%) This will be your disinfecting, sanitizing & antibacterial agent

– 1/2 TBSP gentle shampoo (I used Avalon Organic Shampoo from Walmart)*
– 1 TBSP spray leave-in-conditioner (not cream) to condition bristles
Stir GENTLY!!!!! You do not want the soaps to start foaming or to sud up. After it is all mixed together pour it into your container and there is your inexpensive homemade brush cleanser.
Okay, so for those of you having a hard time cleaning lip brushes or eyeliner brushes with your ordinary cleanser, I have NEWS for YOU!!!!! Since lipstick and most liquid liners are gel/wax based you need something to prep them before disinfecting with your cleanser. You’ll need:
– Any olive oil you have in the house
– A paper towel or cloth (best) to deposit color
– A dirty lip or liner brush =)
Put just a DrOp of oil on the rag and clean brush back and forth (avoid circular motions) till most color is gone. Add another drop if needed and repeat process. After color is off of the brush, cleanse normally with your home made brush cleanser or any cosmetic cleanser you have. A trick that I follow for keeping my white brushes white is that after this whole process…I wash them again with Clearasil and they return to WHITE WHITE WHITE!!! =) Click here to see how I clean my brushes (alert! OLD video!!!)
*Click here to learn more about “safe and natural” shampoos. Unfortunately we are led to believe that all baby shampoos must be the most gentle but it’s not the case. There are three major ingredients that are unsafe that can be found in your shampoo but the Avalon Shampoo from Walmart has none of them.
