Carolina's Hospital System

Through the month of July a group of individuals have been working really hard to promote and launch the CHS Pride with Carolina's Hospital System.  During the experience I've been able to see each fabulous facility and I've heard some amazing stories.

I had the liberty of working with the men and women of Carolina's Medical Center and I feel like family. Over the next couple weeks I will be sharing with you my experience and contribution to CHS Pride!

Cheers! Here's to the future!

Above you can see the many faces of CHS. Check out Briana Randle with Love Shutter Photography.  She is the glorious photographer who worked her magic behind the scenes.  Briana was such a joy to work with and I look forward to working with her in the future.  More pictures to come!

Jordana Mascara $2.99

It's time for a lash extravaganza ladies!!

I'm not sure about you lash blast extraordinaires but mascara tends loose its "umph" after a month or two. From flaking to drying out like the Sahara Desert, my wish is to stop tossing money in the trash.

Cheer up frumpy lashes! Jordana, found at Walgreens, is a whopping $2.99. Hurry and stock up ladies!! It's time to pump up the volume!

UV Makeup

Makeup Forever launched a line of glow-in-the-dark makeup (available at Sephora) called Fluo Night.  The seven shades of fluorescent powder glows in the dark under UV light.

The powder format means you can put it anywhere, an-e-where. Blend it with your regular makeup; Lipstick, eyeshadow, hair, and nails are just a few ideas! 

The only difficult part? Finding a UV light to activate this baby.

If you had the opportunity to model and shoot with UV makeup, would you? 

While you are here check out Beauty Asylum's porfolio of work!

Happy One Year Anniversary, Bungalow!

July marks the one year anniversary of our marriage with our historic bungalow nestled in the Historic District of Uptown Charlotte. Starting off as a lonely foreclosure.. our house has begun to transform into a home.   Below you can check out a before picture we anxiously took prior to moving accompanied with the most recent decor.  

  Restaurants, Uptown, and parks are all within an arms reach. In the fall/winter months we have a great view of the city from our backyard.  Also, the family friendly home of the Knights Baseball Stadium is relocating to our side of town in 2014 with a new and improved stadium.

Coconut Oil- Benefits You'll Love

Shiny hair just don't care attitude? Rub a little bit of this multipurpose dandelion through your tresses and you're good to go sunshine.

Prevent aging the best way you can by bathing in a sea of coconut oil.  It's an effective moisturizer on all types of skin.

Lastly, eat your worries away by using a little in the frying pan. Careful: don't use too much from the high amount of saturated fat.  Small amounts will aid in easy digestion and increased metabolism. Feel and look like you're in the tropics by adding a little to your fish.
