Happy 2012 everyone! I’ve been away from the blog for a while. I apologize. I had a very full holiday season with work, travel, guests, cooking, computer issues, you name it- it happened. Back up…. and RUNNING.

I don’t know about you- but I am really excited about 2012. I think people are ready for change. I think people are realizing that they have a choice and a VOICE in that change. A voice to propose change for the better in many aspects of their own lives. I’m feeling it. I’m looking forward to creating a fabulous new year….

Looking ahead- thinking about this time of year and all that it brings to the world of beauty and fashion…..Awards season is coming! Later this month it all begins….I am looking forward to seeing and creating some gorgeous red carpet looks this year. This is always my busy time so I will try to share some good stuff- products, behind the scenes shots, anything I can to bring you in on the excitement!

I have also been exploring A LOT of product over the last month or more- both new brands and classic tried and true and so I have a lot of new favorite things to talk about here and will do so in the upcoming days.

Before I go I wanted to share that in March you can see me on camera again. I’ll be creating makeup looks for the new show Fashion Star on NBC premiering March 13th. Check local listings for the time in your region. The show is hosted by the lovely Elle Macpherson. I am part of the Maybelline makeup team headed up by my friend and fellow Cloutier Remix artist Julianne Kaye. Please visit the Fashion Star site and check out the show! Really looking forward to seeing the show and the final results.

More soon….
