Stop Sign

Yikes it's June already! So much has happened to me this year that I will never forget .

A little over a year ago I took the biggest leap with the man of my dreams. 

We are so happy here , sure things haven't gone exactly the way we planned but when in life does it ever ?

I'm so excited to keep moving forward and learning more about myself and my skills.

I love my Makeup and Hair stuff but its beginning to be put on the back burner.

I am learning so much more about life and everything that comes with it!!

Actually turns out I have a knack for floral arrangements ha-ha , which I find to be actually quite entertaining!

Getting paid to do something you enjoy is such a success in life . I feel sorry for those who search forever looking for something bigger and better . 

Live in the moment and enjoy whats in front of you before its gone !

College is just months away another exciting first for me . 

Nervous about seeing faces I don't want to see , but excited to get back into the learning game.

Scared to see what little I learned in High School is still stored in my brain LOL

On a side note I have an edited makeup tutorial just sitting here on my desktop ... 

I should prbly upload but my internet is so slow it literally takes days ...

And I'm so unsure about even posting tutorials any more . Sigh 

Joel and I at the flower shop workinggggggg hahaha its fun to be working together again :] 

That is how we met after all <3

Until Next time xo Gabriella

March :]

Things are going to start happening ! I have never been so driven to make my life work.

I'm bringing the ones I love along for the ride!!

I've realized i'm so passionate about everything !

Life , Love , Friends , Everything!

It is time to start networking again , working hard to get things done .

Joel is doing so well too its so exciting his artwork is getting to be something overly amazing!

Being creative with the #1 person in my life is so much fun :]

I've been thinking about doing picture tutorials rather then my videos for now till I have better editing equipment .

And it would be easier to post more daily . 

Watcha think ?

On that note here is an ADORABLE picture tutorial from Lauren Conrad :]

So Adorable ! I tried this on my hair the other night , didnt come out as well . 

I think its because my curling iron sucks LOL

I tried Lauren ! LOL

Top Three Skincare Items of the Month !!!

I seriously cannot stop talking about these products !! LOL the way they have changed my skin I will forever worship !! I used to have the most beautiful glowy soft skin !!

But mix some bad habits , and ENORMOUS stress into my life and BAM acne and the worst kind !

Having bad skin took such a toll on my life ( i know stupid) but I mean I am a makeup artist !

I am in peoples faces everyday ! They look at me as what they might look like !

Had to take serious action to fix it ! I had tried so many different things to make it better !

After testing and testing of so many different products I finally found the right bunch to help my poor skin !

My number #1 love is ....((drum roll))

The oh so wonderful clarisonic , this baby leaves my skin feeling so clean and smooth !

It oscillates in two directions to shimmy all the dirt and grime out of your pores !

It also cleans your skin so efficiently that any skincare product you use after you cleanse works more efficiently then when you cleanse with you fingers !

AHHH-mazing !!!

Now on to my #2 favorite product ...

The Peter Thomas Roth Anti Aging Cleansing Gel !! Ahhhhh I know anti-aging ???

Well the same products that make your skin look young and more glowy also help control some main components of acne causing problems !!

This cleanser changed my skin so dramatically !! I use it with my clarisonic to get the maximum benefits !!!

Finally product #3 !!!!

One of my biggest skin issues was that I was so oily !! So any normal reaction is to want to re frame from over moisturizing ... WRONG  Skin becomes oily when it is dehydrated !! It is trying to hydrate itself by over producing oil ! Once I started to moisturize appropriately my skin changed even more so !

I use the Josie Maran Oil over night to hydrate my skin !

Im always so excited to wake up every morning and see what my skin looks like !

I feel like every morning is Christmas haha just watching my skin get better and better :]

I use alot of other random things but these are my top 3 for this  month :]

Trying to blog more ... Let me know if you guys maybe want some product reviews , or more tutorials. ... Anything :] well ... almost anything !!

TTFN

Love is in the Air

February is always such a jam packed month for Joel and I !!

Our Anniversary falls on the first of the month and then Valentines day !

Weee what good times ahaha !

We didn't do much for our anniversary this year !! We both worked :[ BUT he did surprise me with some beautiful roses and delicious cupcakes :]

I cant even imagine what the last four years of my life would have been like if he had not asked me to be his girlfriend four years ago <3

Joel is always such an inspiration in my life !! Creatively and emotionally !

Joel see's me everyday , doing my makeup all my different looks haha!

Guess what his favorite is ?....

VINTAGE inspired makeup :]

I think he loves the simplicity of it and how it just enhances natural beauty !

So of course on our special day I went ahead and did a vintage look :]

I love you Joel ! And how even though your a guy you can appreciate all the hard work that goes into my makeup HAHA love u !!! ( and for so many more reasons of course )

Finally !! A New Video !!!!

I have finally took the time to make a new video ! Haha !
