Clean Correctly: The Face

Interesting 'How To' from dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf

Did you know that in order to clean your face correctly you should:

1)Splash skin with luke warm water.
2)Massage cleanser onto your entire face for 30 seconds in a circular motion.
3)If you are normal to oily, rinse thoroughly with luke warm water and pat dry.
3a)If you are on the dry or sensitive side, gently remove cleanser with a damp cloth or tissue.

So there you have it folks...THREE easy steps to getting a clean face!

And as Elizabeth Taylor shows us...if you wash your face you too can look as lovely as she! :p

Purple Rain: Hollywood Forever Cemetery

There are parts of the 80s that I think everyone should keep alive. I suppose it's because I remember the 80's (I was a but a wee babe) but I still can't get past the MUSIC. Give me Duran Duran, Prince, Cindi Lauper, Madonna, The Cars and more any day!!! Also my cousin was a teenager in the 80s and I thought she was incredibly cool for wearing a stud earring in one ear and a large plastic pink dangling '7' earring in the other. Plus she had these magazine pull-outs of all the 80s musicians of the time all over her bedroom walls... Prince, Michael Jackson and Boy George come to mind.

So when I had the chance to go to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery this past weekend to see Purple Rain on the side of a huge mausoleum with some of my home-girls (yes I am inappropriately keeping that saying alive) I jumped at the opportunity and it was amazing! Granted the hipster quotient was a bit out of control but everyone was in a great mood and had fun.

It was a picnic situation so the Purple Rain fans laid out their blankets and chairs in the "empty" cemetery grounds and ate everything from vegan dishes to BBQ. My friend, forever the the Italian Momma, brought a sandwich spread that would make a grown man weak in the knees. I couldn't have asked for a more special night with my friends. I want to urge anyone that lives in So Cal to go to one of these movie viewings.

Cupcake Fetish: Wanna Bite?

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well. I am so excited to show you these pictures of two of my hats used in  a photo shoot for cupcakefetish.com. My friend Lindsey Tervo-Clemmens did the styling.  You should check out the post cards made of these bevy of beauties (there are 12 of them) on their site.

Don't you just love the mood and styling of the shoot! They look like modern day pin ups. So would it be more cheesecake* or cupcake? LOL!!! Either way they all look absolutely delicious! I think one of the fun aspects of being a designer is seeing how other people interpret your work. When I design I think of abstract muses so I love to see it in a concrete form.

I hope you all ENJOY!!! And until next time...

*Wonder why I used the term cheesecake? Well here is a little excerpt off of wikipedia: The term “cheesecake” is synonymous with “pin-up photo”. The earliest documented print usage of this sense of “cheesecake” is in 1934 [1], predating “pin-up”, although anecdotes say the phrase was in spoken slang some 20 years earlier, originally in the phrase (said of a pretty woman) “better than cheesecake”.
