Hello All!
Wow what a great holiday break this has been. I have so enjoyed being able to stay home with my little man. We have been doing so many fun things. It got cold quick here is Louisville and I have to admit we didn't go out as much as I had hoped what we had a lot of fun staying in and lounging around in our Christmas pajamas, making forts, art work, Valentines Day decorations.
I am so excited for what 2013 has in store. I am setting a few goals for myself. Since I started being a stay at home mom/working from home/blogger which coincided with the holidays/cold weather/good food I have added 10 pounds to my waist line. I'm not too mad at myself. Since my son was born I lost about 75 pounds (all of which had been gained during pregnancy-won't let that happen next time!) Anyway, it was all perfect timing. Getting used to a new schedule, staying indoors more, cooking more because I was home! It was inevitable right? :) Well I am going to get those 10 pounds off my butt and also get rid of another 5 pounds just for giggles. I would like to see if I can make it down that far. I don't remember the last time I would have weighted that much (or weighted that little as I like to think) Luckily I have a dear friend Ashely who was kind enough to give me some tips and I have Pinterest (who needs anything else) Ashley is a personal trainer and a genius at body transformation. We had a nice long chat yesterday so I am ready to lose those lbs I put on while staying home!
I am also excited about my career! Boy how things can change in just a few month. Another good friend of mine Haley is moving home (from Jacksonville FL) to Ohio. She is also a makeup artist who started a business called Simply Makeup. Which is a team of oober talented women who make other women look and feel awesome (bet job ever!) which is what I do (as you all know) So Simply Makeup want to continue to run their successful business is Florida while Haley expands it in Ohio and I am ecstatic to announce that I am going to help expand it into Louisville. Haley, myself and the entire Simply Makeup team are so excited to be able to do this. I am excited (I am saying that a lot huh?) to build a team of talented people here in Louisville so we can have the best makeup team this city has ever seen. This is what my plan was all along when I quit the bank and starting working like this. I have admired what Haley and Simply Makeup has done in Florida and I'm stoked to take what she has built and as a team help it grow and prosper in Louisville. It's perfect timing for both of us! It's the best of both world. I will still be available as an individual freelance makeup artist so that I can hold classes, do editorial makeup, film, and so on. It really is great. Louisville has nothing like this and I am so excited to be a part of making Simply Makeup rock this ton socks off!
So that's whats been going on in the few days since Christmas! We have so much to look forward to in the new year!
On another note, I have decided to start a "I pinned it then I did it" section to the blog. I will be trying things out that I see of Pinterest or that are inspired by Pinterest and blogging about them so you can try them too! (kind of like my wreath I posted a while back) Which I have now changed up for Valentines day. All I did was remove the bow and pin and tape on felt hearts. So cute! I tried to upload a picture for you but there is something wrong with blogger. Boo. Ill try again soon! If you all have any suggestions please let me know. Follow me on Pinterest so you can see what I love and I can see what you love!
Well off to clean the house.
Make sure you check out all the fun stuff going on with my other sites!
&
Everyone have a beautiful day!
