Prep Those Lashes!

Okkkayyyyy, SO I've had some really happy customers and some customers with questions. No biggie, I still sometimes find fibers on my cheeks if I don't seal them well.

1. Apply Primer - I happen to use the Younique Glorious Primer ;) - better than my old expensive Smashbox Primer.
2. Use your eyelash curler and pinch at the base of your lashes and lift up. Hold for 10 seconds. Do this twice until you get the results you want. Sometimes I use my blow dryer on cool to heat up the curler a little. Be careful not to burn yourself - it hurts!
3. Apply a coat of gel. Make sure to get every part of your lashes.
4. Immediately after you apply the gel, apply the fibers - I go hard with the fibers because I know that after I apply the sealing coat of gel, I can use my Younique lash comb (MUST HAVE) to remove the clumps, and essentially, comb your lashes.
5. Personally, I just apply another coat of fibers right after the sealing coat of gel. I think the less gel you use the better your lashes look.
6. For the final coats I focus solely on the tips and brush the fibers upwards and outwards.
7. The final sealing coat of gel - really work to extend the lashes. This is a really important step as it is the final sealing coat - work hard to coat the entire lash with the gel to prevent flying fibers.

I'll post the video on Saturday and then I'll be able to bring these instructions to real life :)

Seriously ladies, if you have ANY questions or concerns - comment and I promise I can help you. I really believe in this stuff and I want everyone to LOVE it as much as I do.

Own it, baby!

SO while frantically trying to make several appointments the day of an event seems completely do-able, it's just so silly to think about WHY we do these things to ourselves. With self tanner on my face & Saran Wrap around my waist - Aiden asks me for, "more". More what? I ask myself. Focusing so much on what vanity procedures I had left to do before the big family event - I wasn't paying attention to my little one at all. I stopped - cancelled everything and just sat with him for two hours. Listening to his baby jumble and laughs. It really is so amazing to stop and really be in the moment (obviously). We all get sidetracked with work, hobbies, & earning money in different ways. Hell, I basically have 3 jobs, a blog, and I own 2 businesses. Sure, bringing in income & keeping up an appearance is absolutely necessary; but we MUST stop to really enjoy the people we love especially your significant other (love you baby) and your little ones. My kids are sooo intelligent & creative. I am so proud. I'm sure many of you can relate - venting and taking responsibility are both absolutely necessary in growing as a parent and moving forward. P.S. don't worry, I'll still show up lookin' fab tonight.

Cheers!
