Words of Inspiration From Behind the Chair!

Last week at my internship I was looking through an old hair magazine called BehindtheChair.com on Paper, which started out as a website but launched a mag last year. In the very front of the magazine was a message from the founder, editorial and creative director, Mary Rector-Gable and it really inspired me! For anyone who has ever been told that you can't do it, whatever 'IT' is, this message is for you!

I've been called a rebel more than a few times in my life. I've been called a dreamer and a meddler. I've been told to be a good girl, to sit still and wait my turn. I've been told to stop rocking the boat and go with the flow.

But I don't listen. I am a dreamer and this is my dream.

Believe in yourself. Have the courage to open the door that nobody said could be opened. Your dream is behind it.

Mary

How powerful! I LOVE it!

The Beauty Blender: Modernize the Way You Make Up!

The Beauty Blender is a fabulous product that has been around for a few years but is getting big buzz right now. It provides a unique way of applying your makeup evenly. It took me a while to blog about this simply because I was clueless about how to use it! I found a tutorial video on the Beauty Blender website that is a bit long winded but very helpful! Since watching the video, the Beauty Blender has become one of my favorite products! It really works! It blends my makeup so well with no lines or creases. The secret with the sponge is that you use it damp and not dry so that it won't absorb your makeup like a dry sponge would. Some celebs who already love this product are Jennifer Garner, Carmen Electra, Rosalyn Sanchez and Kim Kardashian to name a few. Here is the tutorial video below and be sure to check out the website to find out where you can pick up your Beauty Blender, you'll love it!

Before and After!

So here are the before and after pictures from when I dyed my hair black! I know the picture with the brown ends and the side of my blog is cute because it has curls...but I don't wear my hair in curls everyday so it wasn't always flattering! The black #10 hair color by Revlon allows me to wear my hair any way and not worry about my ends looking unkept! What do you think?
