When one door closes - hey there's an open window!

Hi everyone, it's been too long since my last blog - but I actually have a reason besides the usual "I'm busy non-stop and haven't had a moment to spare!!" My computer got a virus (very much my fault I will add. Don't click on things you think MIGHT be sketchy! bad aimee!), and ended up killing my hard drive. I KNOW. Talk about a nightmare. But about 3 weeks ago I had backed up my computer to an external drive (some sort of strange premonition?? I don't know), and so it just took me a bit to get a new drive, install it and get things all up and running again. I know, yay for me lol :) Guess I learned a trick or two all those years...

So I wanted to at least show you some new pretty things I've been doing fashion makueup-wise. Besides it being full on wedding season and having one, sometimes even two or three weddings booked every weekend until October, I've been busy working with Koin6, Fox12 and CBS. It's so much fun being the stylist for their news anchors. They are all great people, and I'm such a geek - I love being on set! Now if we could just get those Twilight movies back in town I would be in my own little heaven.... ;)

I had my 27th birthday ealier this month and it was so much fun :) I can't believe how time is flying by! My boyfriend, Paul surprised me with all these wonderful gifts and the cutest one of all was a new baby kitten! He's such a sweetheart! I really feel so lucky to be in love with my best friend. <3 <3 <3 And to all my friends who sent birthday wishes, thank you!!! I got over 300 emails, texts and phone calls wishing me a happy day, I was completely blown away. Thank you to all my friends, clients and loved ones!!!

Here's a couple images from some fashion shoots -

Lots to update...

The past few months have been non-stop, and I don't see it ending anytime soon! I'm certified for Hair Extensions, and Lash Extensions and that with all of my usual photoshoots and weddings have left me little time to get online! :) I wanted to post some pictures, these are so fun!

Hair Extensions are so much fun to me - every woman wants long hair in her life, and sometimes our hair just doesn't want to cooperate! Nicki called me and wanted to talk about getting some hair extensions for her wavy shoulder length curls. She said she's always wanted to have long hair, but it never seemed to get past her shoulders. So we put in some gorgeous fusion extensions on her, and she's been loving them these past few months!!

Sometimes I have clients that just want a pop of color to their hair without the chemical damage, or the fading that is so normal for vibrant colored hair. Leslie was one as such! Loved it!!!

April came to me after a tramautic experience when dyeing her hair from brunette to blond. Her hair was ravaged from the process, and she had to have 14 inches cut off of her beautiful long hair! She decided to nourish her hair by staying brunette, and came to me to add her length back in. I love being able to give back to people!

And as for lashes - who doesn't love long, lush, lashes!! No false lashes here!

They are weightless, feel like your own, and can be tailored to your own style. I really love my job! When ladies look in the mirror and say "wow!", that's when I'm happy that THEY are happy! :)
