Amazed..Stay Tuned

This photo is like a dream come true! About a month ago I ran across the sweetest lady ever who is the owner of a very unique shop. My Giving Tree is on the corner of First and East Street in downtown Belton with such a interesting name I had to see what was settling behind the windows.
Inside I saw so many different art pieces and antiques. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw it, pure inspiration. This amazing couch, my mind stirred and I knew I had to contact the most talented people I knew to make my vision come true.
The concept was Circus inspired, Siamese Pin up Twins, a sexy sideshow maybe?
This story gets only better...
Here's your teaser... So much more to come.
Enjoy:)

Midnight Wishes and Glitter Kisses

Is anyone else in a "diamond everything" kinda mood lately? Things that sparkle and shine make me gitty!! I find so much inspiration in diamonds, the pastel blues, vivid purples and girlie pinks could easily become my everyday eyeshadow regiment.
I found this picture through the amazing Pinterest it screams personality and fashion. Everything that seeps from my soul :)
Enjoy :) <3 Loves!!!

Brilliant Coiffe

It's summertime and bright neon loud colors are everywhere from bathing suits to luscious locks.
I have always been one to stand out with hair color, I prefer red though it :) matches my personality. Over the years I have tried many different colors and treatments. Luckily I still have hair but, for those of you who would like to experiment yourself I have details for you.
A lot of the bright colors will not attach to darker hair. Don't get me wrong it can add shades of color but for the most part it will not be bright. Lightening your hair causes a lot of damage but, if you do it gradually towards a blonde tone color the bright pigments should not have difficulty attaching.
I have a natural red tint in my hair from dying it repeatedly. I found a product called "Splat" at Wal Mart!!! Yes, I said Wal Mart...exciting I know!! Splat comes with a bleach kit but I personally don't use that. The sweet red bottle inside is full of pigment and all you need.With gloves and tons of Vaseline to help from turning my forehead and ears red. I apply the color everywhere and rinse! The red you get is almost hypnotizing it is so bright!!!
I have also used Manic Panic for my pinks, teals and purples! Very vibrant!!!
Remember the lighter the hair the better results, if your scared you can always lighten strips of your hair and have fun playing.
