Since We Last Talked...






Hi, all! Wow!! I can't believe it's been a few weeks since I've blogged. After today's post, I'm sure you'll understand why. Between events for work, designing jewelry, apartment searching and going "back to school" I've hardly had time to sit back and relax.

First, we've had a couple events at Lancôme recently. We visited with editors from respected beauty and fashion publications in the magazine industry. This event was held at Jerome Dreyfuss in SoHo. (Click on the link to see pictures of the studio and the amazing handbags) The weather was perfect, the sun was out and I was able to take some time during my day to explore all SoHo has to offer. I had lunch alone on a park bench along the cobble-stone streets, and it was nice. As soon as I can tell you about Lancôme goodies we discussed, I'll let you know. What I can say is this, if you like Lancôme's Tresor you'll "be in love" with the aroma of what's next.

Yesterday, Lancôme hosted an event for bloggers and vloggers at The Lancôme Boutique on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. Legendary makeup artist Sandy Linter was on-site offering makeup tips and answering all your makeup question needs! It was a lovely afternoon and there were plenty of Magnolia cupakes to go around. Plus, everyone who attended the event was matched for their personal shade of Lancome's new Fresh Wear Foundation. I can't get enough of this product. I'll be sure to share more details about the event and Fresh Wear later.

I have started designing jewelry again. My dad has made too many great pieces lately so I guess you could say I felt intimidated and needed to step-up my game. I'll be sure to show you my first "collection" once I'm finished. I get so lost in the bead stores that hours will pass and I don't even notice.

And, I went back to school? That's right. It's been a really tough and stressful past month. Iowa State decided to call and tell me after what I like to call "my first graduation" in December that I was 1.5 credits short. I was ordered to take another two credits and had to write a 20-30 page research paper. There is one lesson I learned from this experience that I'd like to share with everyone. Document everything!! I wish I had.

Lastly, I have to move. I learned that while I decided to visit home for Alumni Weekend my room was not unoccupied while I was away. A couple items have since gone missing. And there's way too many bodies in one tiny area for any privacy whatsoever. So the search is on! I'll keep you posted. I'd love for visitors this Summer.

Don't forget to read my blog tomorrow. I'm going to share how I got longer, fuller lashes in less than a month by using a new Lancôme mascara. Don't worry, it's affordable and you can too!!

I want to start giveaways soon. Write me, please. Ask me anything you want to know about makeup, beauty and skincare. If I can't provide the best answer I will ask an expert who can. What products would you most like to see in a giveaway? What's something you've been anxious to try and learn about?

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon. The pictures above are from my day in SoHo, the event at The Lancôme Boutique and a couple others in Manhattan.
