R e f r e s h

Can you believe its 2019! OMG. Seriously. June of this year will be my blog's 10 Year Anniversary and I honestly can't believe I've stuck with it this long. We are only twenty days into the new year but it already been a whirlwind  for me. I ended 2018 back home in the Virgin Islands with my family. My brother was in an almost fatal wreck and had to be flown off the island for surgery. I was able to go home and be with my family during that trying time. Two weeks prior to that, Jerm and I went on his first cruise. And less than a week ago I had refractive surgery to correct the vision in my right eye.

Although we've literally been all over the place in the last month I've tried to consistently document our journeys. In the end, even if Jerm decides that he'd like to do something else, he'll always be able to look back on the memories we've documented together. If you havent already, please take a moment to subscribe to his Youtube channel. For ease, I've posted his last two videos below:


2018 was all over the place for me. I'm hoping to bring more focus into 2019.

Zulu Cut Crease Visual

Just wanted to show you guys a visual of a look I did this weekend for the beautiful Tyiekia. Unfortunately, I didn't record the entire application. I need a better set up before I can. The space I use isn't really designed for it, as I would be standing in the light. I'll figure something out shortly, though. Hope you guys like it!

Cherry Blossoms in the Winter

I ended 2017 saying I wanted to do more. I needed my outlet back, and after a bunch of unfortunate events, I decided that there was no better time than now to start. As you can see from my last 2 blog posts I've been making YouTube videos! I definitely want to put it out there: I AM NOT A MAKEUP ARTIST! Honestly, I don't even want to be one. I just like makeup and I enjoy doing it, so I decided to start filming it. Three weeks ago I had no idea how to edit a video, and now I've kind of gotten the hang of it. To say I'm proud of myself would be such an understatement. I'm just trying to enjoy this clear space in my head. I've included this weeks video below, as well as the video details after the cut.

Thanks for sticking it out with me this long.

Glen

So I decided to post my first take, so if I sound like I'm babbling, I probably am! lol, seriously though, hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things sooner and things will flow a lot better.. I wanted to show the process of me getting ready (well, the hair and face transition at least) so here are a couple pictures:

My hair before layering and curling.
