As you know I love to paint and go to museums from New York City to Paris, I ran across this article in a past issue of Lucky Magazine www.luckymagazine.com and I thought it was something that you would enjoy. It’s the perfect excuse to finally upgrade from your framed museum gift-shop poster by clicking on www.theworkingproof.com every week an artist offers a limited-edition print to be sold on the site, 15 percent of each sale will go to a charity of his or her choosing. The picture below is by artist Stacy Rozich called “A Day’s Catch” 15 percent of the sales of this print goes to Puppies Behind Bars www.puppiesbehindbars.com, an organization that teaches prison inmates to train service dogs for the disabled.

Discover your passion for art and support a charity at the same time. I have my eye on a couple of prints that will be perfect for my house.

1. In the studio today I have on “Something’s Got To Give” it’s one of my favorite movies that captures Paris, Love, unpredictable events, emotion, The Hamptons and of course New York City.

2. Peony’s in pink and white are my favorite flowers, I love when we bring fresh flowers into the studio to give it a really “fresh” look.

3. A Pink Cocktail-muddled strawberries and Cognac- a great after dinner drink

4. NARS bronzer in Laguna

5. Inspiration

I was delighted when Amy Hill wedding photographer extraordinaire www.amyhill.net came to my studio a couple of weeks ago to capture the pink and girly essence of Fresh Beauty Studio. Amy has a unique eye when it comes to capturing your wedding from the smallest details of your pedicure color just happening to be blue to the emotion on your finance’s face when he has no idea that there is a camera near him. I was so excited to see the final pictures of my studio and share them with you. Amy captured all my “little details” from loving Gerard Butler on my vision board to my pink paris book on my dresser. Thank you Amy for capturing Fresh Beauty Studio in a Fresh and Beautiful way.

I was reading through my new June issue of Glamour magazine last night and I have to applaud the writer Kimberly Daly for the article titled ”Real is the new Sexy!” It’s about time women were told that their “imperfections” are something to celebrate. I was inspired to have this the main topic on my YouTube channel today www.youtube.com/freshbeautystudio The foundation of this article is what Fresh Beauty Studio stands for and wants every women to know when walking out of FBS. You are unique in your own right and no one else looks, acts or is you! I want each and every one of my clients to feel as though she owns the room when she walks in because of her unique features, makeup, skin or body.

There are so many media outlets and sources making women feel that they are not good enough the way they look, or we see magazines like Vogue, Maxim or Playboy with post production airbrushing, slimming the thighs, making the eyes closer together, freckle removal you name it they do it. I want you ladies to know that acceptance is key with owning your looks. Everyone is unique and different in their own way. Hold your head high and walk with confidence YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL the way you are!

Once you watch my YouTube video on my Rebel Rock Star look www.youtube.com/freshbeautystudio you might have second thoughts on putting on one of TempTu’s temporary tattoo’s. I was having a little trouble today with the application which is super simple but for some reason it was quite the challenge. The tattoo’s are called Adorned by TempTu www.temptu.com  and come in 3 different kits named: Seductive Chic, Girly Chic and Zen Chic. I applied the lips to my wrist today (see picture below) that come in the Seductive Chic kit. They are an awesome finishing touch to any bad ass beauty routine, the tattoo’s are cosmetic grade ink formula in exclusive true-tattoo color, this ensures 2-5 day wearability.

The kits contain 9 tattoo design sheets (3 sets of 3 designs) and retail for $25.00

Go ahead and laugh (I did a lot) at what a hard time I had doing a simple application today. You would think today was Monday.
