makeup inspiration

Love this grunge-inspired look by @facesbyalexis {Check out my tutorial on a berry grunge look here}Major #hairgols and #highlightgoals courtesy of @avielleamor.  I'm not brave enough to cut my hair this short, but this is so cute!I've fallen in love with @nikkietutorial's YouTube videos.  Obviously we're not the same color, but she does a really good job of demonstrating different techniques, and I love her glamorous looks!

I love this sunrise that @fauxfancy captured of San Jose!  So typically California.I could stare at this pink staircase all day!  Love the #candyminimal images of @primolli's feed.[line]

my life lately...

This week has been pretty damn awesome.  I've taken on more responsibility at work and have the opportunity to develop my career in an exciting way.  Plus, I've made great progress on a new business venture that I've been dreaming about for years.  Safe to say that 2016 is off to an amazing start.
