A Lovely Surprise

DSC04784

My b/f surprised me w/ an Edible Arrangements bouquet today.  He’s in Va in training(he’s a Marine) and even though we were able to spend Valentine’s together last weekend, he still went the extra mile.  The arrangement is so beautiful, and I mean seriously who can resist delicious fruit.  Its comprised of Strawberries (even chocolate-dipped ones), cantaloupe, honeydew melon, pineapples, and grapes.  Sooo yummy!

Pixiwoo Contest Entry

So this is officially the first time I have ever entered a makeup contest on Youtube. It was kinda a last minute decision, and I have to say I was a bit intimidated to enter. The dynamic duo of Pixiwoo, Samantha & Nicola, are professional makeup artists, so re-creating one of their looks was nothing to take lightly. I decided to take a gander through and pick a look that I though was pretty and that I feeled I could recreated to some extent. I’m not looking to win, so much am I looking to showcase my skills and challenge myself. This look was probably probably one of the more challenging looks I’ve ever. Doing looks like the contest entry lets me know that I can do even better looks, and that I do have talent when it comes to makeup.

Check out the look below. Full tutorial coming soon!
