Hello hello!! so good to hear from everyone!
debbie, welcome back! Glad it was a good trip; but isn't it nice to return home again.
Skyfirefly, you are doing so well!! What will power to have the pria bar and fruit instead of the sub! Yes, it does get easier after time overall, but there will still be those days when one is tempted. But then it's a little easier to resist, 'cause the bod is lookin' better!
SusanB, YAY to you for your weight use!!! and that you can SEE the difference - isn't that the greatest?!
jacklyn, hi!! WTG on 17 pounds, and your hubster's 30!!!
aphil, hiya! "mad scientist working" balloon above your head is what I envision with you and your designs
Hey, do you think Callenetics are actually something like Pilates? Nice find on those videos!
My final, and most exhausting, makeover stuff was today! Unfortunately, the stylist didn't have time for color or highlights - but I think the cut came out fab! As you'll see in the pics, though, it lost a bit of it's volume during the course of the day (cut was 8:30; makeup after that; arrived at the studio 11:00; finished all shots at 4:00 pm)
I tried to ask questions from the makeup girl, as to what she was doing, so I could try to recreate. She used Aveda products. I learned that I shouldn't use dark shadow in my eyelid crease, because as I have slightly deepset eyes, that dark shadow would tend to make them recede more. I can do a light shadow there instead. She also recommended a brow wax. Even though my brows aren't heavy at all; rather light, in fact, she said a wax would neaten them more, and open up a bit more eye area. She also used a powder to line my eyes, as opposed to a pencil-type that I currently use.
The hair - lots of hair was on the floor!! But it was good to hear the guy say that I don't have any gray to worry about. I watched as he used the blow dryer - just pointing UP. Then lots of scrunching...no curling iron! I sure hope I can re-create it tomorrow!
At the shoot, I met the other makeover models - a girl about 22 (who lived way out in the country, and wanted to be a bit more glamorous) - a woman about 50-ish, and I'm not sure what her desires were, but she got some nice outfits picked out - a guy whom I don't know what his desires were either -
I was a little nervous at first to ask everyone.
Anyway, the coordinator had a schedule and hanger bags with all our appointed outfits. We were in a private home that the bottom floor was 1/2 regular home, 1/2 professional studio. We all took turns getting shot with our different outfits.
Aside from the initial nervousness, it was fun! The photographer was GREAT - thanks, Andy!! He was so patient, especially with me, as this was not anything I've ever done, and I was pretty wooden at first.
Hopefully I can attach pics below!!
So the cut was free; the skincare consult was free; and upon the end of the shoot, we all got a goodie bag with skincare products (mini-sizes, still great) some coupons for 25% off stuff, and two one-day ski/snowboarding passes for this winter! (each pass would be worth at least $50.00)
Haircut!
, Lord knows it surely hurts some days.
It does get quite flattened by the helmet. Lots of shaking and finger fluffing are required after a ride, lol!
