2014

Whoah! Are you still here? Thank you for sticking around as long as you have.  Well the last time I wrote anything on this blog was about 3 years ago.  A lot has changed since then.  I've moved across country and back again, had a daughter, became a makeup artist full time.  WHOAH!! Anyway, I'm thinking that this is perfect.  I need an outlet and to be able to write down my thoughts and can you believe I was thinking of creating a blog.  Crazy girl, you already have a blog that you have neglected for years.  So here I am!

So many changes to me as a person and also in the world of makeup.  Remember that blog about being scared of doing makeup?  Well I am no longer scared.  Every now and then I get butterflies and then I just remind myself that I've got this!!  Remember that time that I saluted June Ambrose for being able to juggle being a mom of two and a wife and a successful business owner.  Well look at me now.  I am pleased to announce that I have a son AND daughter now, and they both are watching their mother build an empire (with dad).  How cool is that?

Oh and I've been toying with the idea of having a class or two in the near future.  The one I had scheduled for October didn't quite work out but believe me it is still happening.  I have so many things to accomplish and so many people that are supporting me.  It's really a great experience.  The one thing that I can say is to never give up.  You will eventually be conquer all that is put or thrown in front of you.  Just do not give up. 

OK well, for now that will have to be it but I would like you to all take this journey with me and I will be back here to update you soon.

Balancing Act ...

Although I’m all about makeup I also enjoy all things fashion. Celebrity Fashion Stylist June Ambrose has a style all her own and I am always amazed at how she turns her clothing into a work of art. Always stylish, June still finds time to be a mother to her two beautiful children. I’ve recently tried to find that perfect balance between mommy and makeup artist. (communication is key)

I especially love the relationship between June and Summer. I would love to one day have a daughter and go shopping with her and take her to shoots. How cute would it be to have a little fashionista and I already have my little Prince Charming. Well heres to June, Summer, and Chance…

I Beat That Face With A Brush

    So as I stated before, I have been gone for quite a while.  I have been handling some business and personal matters but I feel that I am now getting back into the swing of things and am more equipped to handle anything thrown my way.  I got so great advice from my sister (owner and founder of Cups Full of Cake) and some other close friends.

On to what you want to hear about... the photoshoots...

    This year has already been major for me.  I've been able to work on faces of other people and through referrals gain more clientele.  Here are the photos of all the work that I have done so far.

    There are some more, but you get the idea.  I am in the process of organizing a photo shoot for myself and then for some models so that I can build my portfolio, not of cell phone pix but of professional pictures.  Of course I will keep you all posted and if you dont see me posting on my blog, feel free to remind me, lol.  There is also my youtube channel KLASIKMIMI.

Well okay loves... enjoy your night/day...

Love Always

Where Is Waldo?

Hello Loves:


    How long has it been since my last blog post? WOW! I'm so sorry about the wait.  I was having quite a hard time dealing with a few changes in my life and now that I have a new found strength I am able to deal with that issue and so much more.


    In life there will be people that support you and then there will be people who make sure to support anything negative in your life.  People that dont see the bigger picture, people that are so set in there ways that they feel the need to push there own beliefs and customs on you.  DO NOT let those people take control of your life.  While I still understand the importance of "following the rules".  I also understand the importance of individuality and we all have different wants and needs.  I see no wrong in pursuing my dream, as long as I dont lose sight of reality. 


    In life there will also be people that mean well and although they do not agree with your decision they will support you 100%.  Treasure these people but be ready to take some things they tell you or advise you with a grain of salt.  While meaning well, the words they choose may very well discourage you. (2/15/11)

    (2/23/11) I'm finishing this post, as I have found a new found inspiration.  Dreams do come true.  While I am not sure how this will all work out, I am willing to take that leap of faith.  I cant go into this blinded but I also cant NOT go into this because someone blindfolds me, if that makes sense.

OVER AND OUT!!

Brunch in NYC

1am...have u seen my sanity

Its 1:14am and im laying in my bed with tears rolling down my face. In life we all make decisions and honestly don't know how some of them will work out but we hope for the best. I hate that I feel this way but did I make the right choice? I guess its times like this that force you to figure out why you made whatever decision in the first place.

My ipod just switched to John Legend- This Time... water works for real right now.

I hate feeling unsure...I hate the pain that comes with...I always feel like I get the bad end of the deal...no matter how grand it may seem... ha... right... its give and take and sometimes I need to take a step back and see where the give and take comes from....

Unfortunately I can't see my screen anymore...I'll update later.

Love Live Life

    Some things and people just can't be explained.  You know the type that come around at the right time in your life and fill it with more meaning.  I can say that so far I've been quite blessed.  I have the best friends anyone could ever ask for and I wouldn't trade them for the world.  My love, my heart my everything makes all my heartache take a trunk seat, lol.  He has been my rock for years and I'm so glad that I came to my senses.  No more running away from what I know, I'm facing my fears dead on.

LOVE... is a fear for me.

    I have had bad experiences with this word and emotion.  I would like to think that I am the most faithful person you will ever meet when it comes to friends and such.  I will cut you off in a heart beat if you {mess} with me and mines...but that's for another entry.  I always end up with the short end of the stick and that's where this fear comes in.  When I love, I love hard... and when there isn't any positive feedback from the other, I feel stupid and theres that fear again. 

    2011 is going to be about facing all those fears.  Loving everyone... YES EVERYONE!!! Those that hurt me, those that hate me, those that think I don't know they hate me (yea i see y'all) ... Its on... I Love You...

    They say that hurt people hurt people and I'm not willing to sacrifice my family (bc my friends are also family) because someone else is unhappy.  That's what it all balls down to, hurt people.  Let it go, not just in 2011 but in your life.  Let it go!! Go hug someone, tell someone that you love them.  I know black don't crack but if you want wrinkles early on... stress!

    I have a MUA career to look forward to and there is no way I'm getting early wrinkles bc of someones unhappy state.  I will not allow you to take my joy and have power over my life.

    So here I am... a different person, growing everyday in a different way.  I love you all and you should all love yourselves.  Love ends and begins inside of you. Look in the mirror and forgive yourself.  Cry if you have to.  Then let go of all the fear in your life and LOVE like you never thought you could.

Hair today...gone tomorrow

    I thought I would show you my new hair.  Since its winter, I find it much harder to have my natural hair out without breakage or going out the house with a wet head.  That had to stop, I have been sick twice and winter is just beginning for us.  So Friday my friend did my hair.  She is a professional hairstylist and makeup artist so you KNOW we had lots to talk about.  She gave me some makeup advice and tips for the future.  I am so thankful for that conversation.  These last couple of months I have been getting some great tips and hopefully 2011 will be my year. 

   Hope you all are enjoying your weekends, now im off to finish editing vids and watch football...

Xmas

So today is Christmas... or to me just another day I get to chill out with the fam. There wasn't much to my day besides some cleaning that should be taking place as we speak but I'm having way too much fun with this Blog. I went and got me hair done last night. My friend did it and man did she do a killer job... im really happy with it.

So in our conversation she told me to get rid of my fear to work with other people and do makeup on there faces. How true she is bc thats one of my biggest stumbling blocks. So we have to set a date to go out and do each others makeup. Im thrilled but nervous as well. I'll be fine im sure. She has grown quite a lot and im very proud of her. Im very happy for her and I hope that she continues to do well. Of course I'll do my best to support her and encourage her.

Well I guess I should get back to cleaning so toodle lew ...

xoxo MIMI xoxo

Drugz and Thangz

I really should be doing better about my posting.  Enough of that though because it just seems as though thats the way that I start all of my posts.  Im home from my meeting and I missed my sis @curlynixs ... sigh...

Last night my son decided to start coughing in my face and later on proceed to come in my room and get up underneath me.  OH NO!!! Now I have a sore throat and I just took some medicine.  So as I write to you, please remember that I am so drugged up.  I dont think the tea that I just had made any of this any better. LOL

I still have yet to post about our crazy night in NY.  I have to post that and maybe it will help you all to have a good laugh, or cry.  I also have some CD reviews to complete.  As soon as they are complete they will be uploaded. 

Oh and check me out on Tumblr ... same name, KLASIKMIMI...

Peace and Love !!!
