The Makeup Show Orlando & Motivational Mondays

The Makeup Show

So, recapping the Makeup Show Orlando in my brain is what I'm doing today.

I got to meet sooo many unbelievably awesome artists, new friends & cool companies I'll be blogging and writing for in the upcoming months. There is seriously so much to write & they all deserve to be their own posts. For sheer coolness & search engine optimization reasons. However, since I've been digging my "Motivational Mondays" schtick, I decided to review my last Monday post.

Something completely stuck out in my head when I got to thinking about my blogging business regarding the Optimist's Creed from the Secret:

"To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best."

Dearest people in life with aspirations,

Please incorporate that particular quote above into your business and life plan. As a blogger, I gave my business card to everyone at the show as these peeps are my target market and some of the best in the business were there. Now, if I had taken the outlook from the beginning that I wasn't good enough to associate myself with them, they wouldn't be on airplanes right now with my business cards in their pockets, wallets or purses. Putting yourself out there or selling yourself or product is highly stressful and at times very discouraging. But, let's ponder some Internet dating loveliness, without the catfishing, just for a small second. Why do people on match.com get statistically more dates? They put themselves out there. Are you picking up what I'm putting down? Sure, some of the people and businesses hadn't read my blog or knew who I was. But did I actually get offended? I think not. Now, were there some that were really receptive? But of course. It's the J-ness we're talking about here. Mmmkay?! (Ha.Ha. I'm super cool in my own head.) Then, there were some who I know won't contact me back for a couple of years but by no means am I closing up blogging shop. Like a person in true B2B sales, sometimes you have to drip on people. Either by social media, email marketing or good old face to face. Furthermore, in sales you need to show people your -ness.

Get it here.

So, what's my business plan? To work with people that want to work with me. Short of stating the obvious, I shall now say "Duh." What's the rest of my business plan you ask? To show people the J-ness. (Among other things. Obviously.)


Friends, go out into the world today & I challenge you to show people your 
-ness. Rock on.

Galifianakis spanks Justin Bieber on Video

#TGIF

Happy Friday, y'all. Now which of you ladies, moms or dads have wanted to spank Bieber lately? His fan girl beliebers would like to spank him probably in a more 50 shades of grey type of way, but that's neither here nor there. Well, below Zach Galifianakis calls all us Beliebers "Beaners". This small hint leads me to believe Justin's going to release a new album in espanol. The first single will feature shouts outs to Netflix and Juicy J of course will lay down the fire lyrics regarding lollipops. Justin of course will sing the chorus of "Hola, Puerto Rico!" He will then give some rap shout outs to Mexico while eating ten tamales drizzy Drake drizzled with hot sauce in an El Camino... Finally, Justin will finish the song by taking pics of your girl, even though she's not a model & then make her call him Papi... or Rick James...

Check out the music video "Lolly" here. What do you think? Other than the fact that Justin just needs to go ahead and throw out all the shirts in his closet? He does, indeed, look good shirtless. Personally, I think all the chicks and guys look way too young to be dancing or talking about lollipops in such a way. Good were the days when lollipops were simply sugar on a stick. Throwbacks to the 1980's, friends!

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Justin Bieber from Justin Bieber

In all honesty it might be the most important interview of this year- http://t.co/jHXSbn6Uqa

Finally, Kanye & Jimmy Kimmel are feuding. Click here  & here to hear all about it. Then to make you shed a slight tear for something a little more worthwhile, click here to learn more about what good Justin Bieber is doing in the world. He's been bringing awareness to a great cause. We've gotta' admit... he's a good guy. If you were that rich and famous at his tender teen age, wouldn't you be doing some nonsense? Praise the Lord social media wasn't around when I was a teenager. For real. Communication, both good and bad, moves at the speed of light these days. And haters are going to hate. Why? It's what they do. Duh.

Hear me roar

I know you saw it! Katy Perry makes a bayonet of fury with the heel of her shoe! Mister Ed totes loves it. Then, to top it all off, she names the tiger Kitty Purry. This video is totally awesome. Let's not even get into the fact that I think I'm pretty good at shower singing the chorus. My neighbors can hear me ro-oh- oh- oh- ar...

Any who, let's talk Halloween.


All the tiger-ness inspires the J-ness. There I was a couple of Friday nights ago and someone came in looking for makeup to do a tiger look for Halloween. Coincidence? I think not, y'all. The lovely ladies showed me this here picture & we went to town recreating it. The final result was nothing short of ahhh-mazing!

Radiant Makeup

No, I can't say I did the steps exactly like what Radiant Beauty depicts here. I'm an artist and we all differ on steps and techniques. I can't even say I used the same colors or products.

But, what I will say is this: I'm in love with how pretty this tiger look still makes you look. It's got the right amount of highlighting and contouring, meanwhile still looking like a beautifully recognizable female human. Don't get me wrong. Becoming a full-on tiger is really cool, too. Let's just say that this look is more wearable and sexier than others.

Happy Early Halloween, y'all!

Motivational Mondays

Hey, now. Don't be confusing Motivational Mondays with Man Candy Mondays...

For the out of touch, this wonderful hashtag abbreviated #MCM is surely something both feminists and their  binders full of men  approve of.


Oh, relax you female lovers... there is #WCW, which stands for Woman Candy Wednesdays as well. The binders full of women movement has to be the leading force behind this one, right? One ponders.


Any who, welcome to another edition of Motivational Mondays. Instead of me boring the life force out of your intellectual mind saber, let's watch some videos and post some pics. Enjoy!

Internet Wrecking Balls

Dude, God Bless the Internet...
Male humans are making Miley Cyrus wrecking ball parody videos & we find them wildly entertaining! You still might not be able to put the toilet seat down, but you're making us laugh so it's all good. Now when you make me laugh so hard & have to run to the toilet to wee, I can fall in. Awesome sauce.

There's just something hilariously awkward about
men swinging on wrecking balls.
Take a gander, friends...

King the Kid is ahh-mazing at singing! Am I right or am I right?!

Enjoy your day.

Confessions of a makeup artist

1- So, I watched World War Z for the first time last night. After it ended, I had to watch comedy for 30 minutes to even be able to sleep. Cheetah speed human undeads scare me to death. Especially when you're like Brad Pitt in the beginning of the movie with your kids in tow. Today I'm still recovering & preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Eat some delicious foods in case you do die: Check. Learn some special effects so you can blend in if you are still human: Check. Get so sick or diseased that you're not healthy enough of a host for the zombies to infect you: Uncheck. What's a girl to do? Well, I'm starting off by drinking a whole ton of caffeinated coffee with copious amounts of white sugar. To top that off, I bought a really large bag of M&M's to nosh on. Next, I shall dress up like a giant chicken & go into the swampy woods around here. Maybe the nasty alligators can give me some bacteria or I'll find some birds who haven't gotten eaten by these amazingly awful alligators yet. Hopefully they can give me some bird flu. Hook a sister up, but don't do a fly by and poop on my head. Thanks, Brad Pitt, for the tips. I always knew you'd be the one to save Amurrica anyway.

2- The thoughts in my head have me really thinking about making and stock piling some bayonets around here. They've been useful since like waaaay before 1917 and the military does in fact still use them!

3- I really need a pair of black comfortable shoes. Just sayin'.

4- It's time for a "change the scenery at your desk" day. Just imagine the awesome nonsense that I could come up with. I think I'm going to do it. There's no time like today. However, the procrastinator in me says that there's no time like tomorrow. Then, tomorrow I'll have the excuse that I'm working a double. Excuses are endless...

5- TGIF, friends!
