Since we have been in town all we have heard the locals speak about were the “MILWAUKEE CREAM PUFFS, TURKEY LEGS, CORN ON A STICK, & CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON”. So we seeked them out and let me tell you everything was great except for the bacon. The cream puffs are the reason why I gained my weight back. I love sweets and they were amazing.

Thursday night some of us L’OREAL Consultants were in need of relaxing our feet’s. But before heading back to the hotel Cassie wanted cotton candy for dinner…I know right? The rest of us just wanted to get back so we could soak our feet. We all ran up to the room dropped our bags on the floor grabbed the wine, coolers and snacks. We headed downstairs to the pool and just relaxed and laughed about our day. The pics of my swollen feet is the second day with it looking like elephant woman:)
I had a pleasure to be a part of L’OREAL 100TH Anniversary this year. To be a affiliated with such a great celebration with one of the top beauty companies in the world. L’Oreal has some of the most talented and beautiful spokesmodels; R& B Singer BEYONCE, Actress KERRY WASHINGTON, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Banks, Milla Jovoich, Supermodel Linda Evangelista, and many more is still mind blowing.
Let me say this, dreams really do come true…remember just 4 years ago I was called a REFUGEE. All of this seems so surreal when I get to my hotel I cry after doing such big events or attending big events…ask MIS SASSY. At one time I didn’t think my career would be where it is today. I still have some catching up to do but it’s not foggy anymore. L’Oreal cosmetics is so big on helping women and doing women events. I look forward to doing more with them and can’t wait to work with Collier Strong, L’Oreal Consulting Makeup Artist.

Its been a few days and the L’Oreal tour has been going really good. Weather has been good except for today. The rain got me today so my hair that was looking really good has now left me with putting it in a ponytail:(
Its so good to see everybody. I don’t usually get to see the crew until we tour. We all stay in touch a lot and we play on face book or send emails and text to one another. But working side by side isn’t often with everbody living in different city. The only two missing on this trip is Debra and veronica both makeup artist based out of Houston.
I do get to see Debra at the end of the month. I will be in Houston to do a makeup class for women of color and I think I am suppose to be doing Makeup & Martini the night before the class. I know Debra is really cussing me out right about now because she emailed me to send her pics. But its been so hard the last few days to do an computer work at the end of the night. We been getting back to the hotel everynight so late.
I been setting the alarm for 5:45am and getting my body out of bed at 6am. By 7am we are out the door heading to work.I have been able to eat a blueberry muffin or two but you know I love cranberry muffins. The hotel has great cranberry juice its some kind of mix whatever it is I like a lot. The rest of the day its been moving none stop, super busy. Yesterday, I don’t how it happen but I didn’t get to eat dinner. So at 7:30pm I stop finally and ate an apple:). I am already losing weight. I need to get to a store to buy another pair of black pants cuz the size 4 is not looking cute on me anymore. By the end of the month I might be a size “0”. You know I am lovin that.
I still have a few more articles to write. I have to get to the interview that Beauty School sent over to me. The hold up is getting pictures to her as well. Then to finally get to my brides to write contracts and check dates. I know I have a few other people need answers about dates that need to book me for upcoming gigs. L’Oreal want me to do the September and October dates and I really wanted to do New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I have so much stuff to do and figure out. I really have not had time to think about what I am teaching at the workshop.
If I do the mext two months of the tour then I will take some time off for the holidays and spend time in New Orleans with the family in friends. I still need to update website from last month. I am so overwhelmed.
You know what’s crazy I only get to stop in think when I am at the airport on the plane. My body gets to rest, finally. You should see my to do list it just get longer in longer.
I am so limited that I can only do some stuff on my blackberry. I be working my poor black girl;)
You all haven’t told me what your thoughts were about my new blog page: Black Tie Stiletto. Ijope you guys like it. Don’t forget you can also check out my Makeup & Martini beauty posting on Dolce Vanity with Laa Laa in the UK.
Just bare with me guys, I am trying to get to everybody as soon as I can. Well, its about time to board. I will keep you all updated, of course at the airport:)
