So I have decided that I should be doing YouTube videos now. I found these videos of YOUNG girls doing makeup tutorials! How insane is that? Some of those girls have about as much MAC makeup as I do.
As a makeup artist, please don't let your children start wearing makeup so young. It's not good for their skin.
So anyway, joining the world of YouTube is going to be a whole new experience for me. I am a dork and now you all will get to see it live and in living color. Hehe!
There is soooo much out there to teach you and show you. I am having a hard time deciding what to do my first video on. Therefore, it presents me with a great opportunity to present to you a CONTEST!!! YAY!!!
So here we go...leave me a comment with what you think I should do for my first YouTube video. You have to make it good because I will be having surgery after my beauty event. (Beauty, Body, & Soul: What A Girl Wants! Event).
You will have to wait a bit for the next video for a bit. I may even use your comment for one of my videos.
The prize is a free makeover possibly in the video itself and if you aren't local I have some makeup treats to send!
Let's hear these great ideas ladies!!!

My very talented friends!!!
Lately I have been seeing all these really cool women doing these really cool things. Such talent! Many of them unable to be present at my event, yet willing to donate to the cause. With our event we are trying to support those women in our community who are victims of domestic violence and rape. As a victim myself I know how hard it is to feel good about yourself.
I know that this event won't fix what has happened, but it has the ability to help heal and make one stronger. I hope that this event will be seen as what it is: women being women and feeling good about themselves inside and out.

Got in the News Press!!!
http://www.news-press.com/article/20100712/NEWS01/7120329/1002/Frugality-finds-its-way-into-weddings
1:10 A.M. — Stephanie Porter walked into Sunday's bridal show in Fort Myers with one thing on her mind, and it didn't include buying a $6,000 Couture wedding dress.
"I'm looking to cut costs for my wedding," said Porter, who works at Fort Myers Middle Academy during the week and as a waitress at a local restaurant on the weekends. "My fiance and I are each working two jobs to save money for the wedding. It's hard."
Porter and her fiance, Joseph Jones, want to spend $10,000 for their wedding, so keeping costs down is a priority.
Porter and Jones represent an emerging trend in weddings: the budget-conscious couple. Since the recession began, more couples are spending less on their big day. As a result, the wedding industry is taking a small hit as more couples look to do it on their own and cut costs.
The Knot Real Wedding Survey reported that about one-third of brides who got married last year said the economy impacted their wedding plans. Another survey by David's Bridal found that 68 percent of brides-to-be planned to spend less on their wedding. About 30 percent of those respondents said they would spend less than $10,000 on their wedding.
Porter, 24, said she planned to get help from her family and friends at her November wedding. Porter's friend, Janea Soliven of Makeup Artistry, will do her hair and makeup.
Another friend will be the DJ while Porter's grandfather will snap pictures.
"You can save a lot of money by using your friends' talents," she said.
Soliven, who plans to get married in February, said she planned to save money by having her rehearsal dinner at Golden Corral.
"It sounds chintzy, but as long as you can enjoy yourself with your family and friends, that's all that matters," Soliven said.
After looking at 10 different venues, Porter opted to hold her wedding at Plantation Country Club in Fort Myers because it was willing to work with her budget.
"I wanted to do it at Grandezza (Country Club in Estero) but that's too expensive," Porter said.
Mike Waite, owner of Waite Photography in Cape Coral, has noticed the shift toward cost-conscious grooms and brides.
"They seem to be more concerned about their finances and a lot of them are shopping around for deals," said Waite, who attended Sunday's bridal show at the Harborside Event Center.
Waite Photography lowered its prices because of the recession. The company's cheapest wedding photo package starts at $899. But the prices are negotiable, according to Beverly Waite.
Wedding retailer For the Bride in Fort Myers has also been impacted.
"Some of the girls will buy dresses right off the rack to take the discount instead of paying full price to get it fitted," said For the Bride owner Wendy Bennett, whose dresses range from $300 to $2,000.
Despite an uptick in frugal couples, Bennett isn't concerned about her industry.
"No matter how you cut it, the bride always has to have a nice dress," said Bennett, whose store opened 17 years ago. "Brides might cut back and serve cupcakes instead of a cake or change to a cheaper venue, but they will always have a nice dress."
Mike Waite, who has been a wedding photographer since 1979, shared the same optimism for the wedding industry.
"People are still going to get married," Waite said. "This is a one-time event and their parents will make sure of that. We know we're in tough times so we'll just try to accommodate them."

Mary Kay is the way!
My friend Joann Frazier is a Mary Kay Consultant. I have had the opportunity to play with her fun products. I even took a horrible before photo and transformed myself into something not-so-scary-anymore! LOL!
I was brighter and looked younger, yes younger!
Here's a link right to her website! www.MaryKay.com/JoannFrazier
Most people I have met stick with the same make up routine day after day. I was playing on Joann's website and saw this awesome page with 10 make up artist looks on it.
It's perfect! It shows you what colors were used and how to produce the same look for yourself. You can even shop from that page to purchase the look for yourself. Print it off if you need it for future reference even.
Another fun thing to do on her page is the virtual makeover. After you have picked a look from the makeup artist looks you can go try the colors virtually on your face! How cool is that?!?
The best thing about Mary Kay is their skin care products! If you have any questions and want to know more please contact Joann at joannfrazier@marykay.com.
She also has a Facebook Page for you to enjoy!
