Again! This always seems to happen. I don't know why I can't keep things consistant. I was looking over my blog today and turns out that I really miss writing. Even if no one is reading. IS ANYBODY ALIVE OUT THERE!? I don't suspect anyone is really reading this, but I feel that I need to have more direction in my life and hopefully my blog will help with that. <br />
<br />
What I've been up to:<br />
<br />
- I started school- online, I'm going for Business Management<br />
- I became partner on YouTube!!!!!!!<br />
- My nephew is now over a year old<br />
- I got a new job (again, ha ha)<br />
<br />
I really haven't noticed how much time has passed since my last blog post. It really is a shame. I want to say that I'll be consistant, but I'm not promising anything knowing my past situations ha ha. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I really want this blog to focus on make-up, fashion, and really just anything that strikes my fancy. <br />
<br />
I hope I don't drive EVERYONE away. ha ha<br />
<br />
<br />
Back and ready for action.

<br />
<br />
<u>For the 1st week, I thought I'd concentrate on the fatcha (face) and how to get that flawless raident glow. </u><br />
<br />
1st up: <em><u>PRIMER:</u></em><br />
<br />
Primers are really the base for your makeup to adhere all day long. <strong>What the h-e-double hockey sticks do you need a primer for?</strong> Well, Think of makeup as your house.... say you want to build bricks... in order to do that, you can't just stick bricks together and pray for a non-windy day! You must apply the cement so that way the bricks last a lifetime!<br />
<br />
My favorite "cement" erm... I mean primer is <br />

<br />
<br />
This little guy leaves your skin, "poreless". haha! Almost works like when your covering a hole in your wall with plaster... this does the same for your pores!!! Goes on smooth and leaves your skin super soft!<br />
<br />
Works wonders! Just make sure you throughly cleansed and preped your face before the primer... Otherwise, I think it feels grainy... <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Porelessly yours, Katie<br />

I entered into Maxim's gamer girl contest that they are having!<br />
<br />
I've always loved playing video games, ever since I was younger. I remember playing Mario and holding the controller upside down and not relalizing why I coulnd't play correctly... yes... game rage would come out!<br />
<br />
Learning how to properly control the controller, I found my love of tomb raider, Kingdom hearts 1 and 2, mario, donkey kong, dead space 2, fallout, metal gear solid, and so many more!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anywho, I entered into Maxims contest and I even went to their open casting call! It was AMAZING! I had to answer questions in front of a camera and got to play nyan cat! How fun!<br />
<br />
Anyway... PLEASE VOTE FOR ME! It would mean the world to me!!<br />

He turns 26 today! Hooray! <br />
<br />
I remember being young and growing up with him. He always made me laugh so hard, he's the funniest person I know! <br />
<br />
I think I feel so close to him also, because our parents are brother and sister, and they both passed away from the same blood disease. He knows what it's like to lose a parent and so do I. I know I can always talk to him about anything and always have him there to make me feel better if I'm upset. He really is one of my best friends and I'm so happy that he lives with me! Now I can laugh all day long! ha ha! Plus, He is my boyfriends best friend! that's how I got to meet Jessy! hee hee!<br />
<br />
Happy birthday Matt! I hope you have the best day ever, your dad would be so proud of you!<br />
<br />

I've been in a really simple makeup funk, which I like... especially when I have to go to work and don't have time to add 10 pounds of makeup to my face.<br />
<br />
<u><em><strong><span style="font-size: large;">For the Peepers:</span></strong></em></u><br />
<br />
<br />
1) I've been obsessing over the YSL Eyeliner Effect Faux Cils in the color Black.<br />
It's a really nice cream liner that goes on super dark and super smooth!!! <br />

This is NOT the color I use for blush, but it was the only picture I can find! haha! I use a bright Orange + Hot Pink color... I know what you're thinking.... WHY WOULD SHE PUT THOSE COLORS ON HER FACE!? but trust me, it actually turns out to be a beautiful Coral shade.<br />
<br />
5) For my Brows I use Anastia's beverly Hills - brows in bloom set. I really only use the brown shade to the right, and it doesn't nearly look as pretty as in the picture! haha<br />

If you're feeling down, I hope this lifts your spirits!<br />
<br />
<br />
Dancing my heart out...<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Ever since I was little I've always danced. Whether it was dancing to my mom's taste in music that I've heard her playing on a Saturday, The ever so popular music in the 90s, the early stages of the "new millennium" music, the more recent music, or just marching to the beat of my own drum... I can always remember me dancing. Not very well mind you, but dancing none the less.<br />
<br />
I feel like it's one of the best ways to express yourself, get over a bad break up, give yourself energy, or just make you or someone else feel better when their sad. Music is such a great form of expression as well; What else really knows what you're feeling at that exact moment then a love song, or "going out with my friends tonight to have fun" kind of songs? Oh Sinead O' Conner has known how broken my heart has been, just like the black eyed peas "had a feeling" that I was gonna have a good night.<br />
<br />
I've always been the one to march to the beat of my own drum, not caring what people think... just like my mother always use to say: "as long as you're not hurting anyone, why does it matter!?" In JR. high school, and high school... people didn't always understand... I always got... "You're always happy, it's not normal!!!!!" "are you high? are you on drugs?" "calm down... you shouldn't be so happy" But I've still always remained to be myself, and now... that's what I get the most compliments on. A lot of the times, most people are afraid to be themselves... but I say be yourself, you are unique in every way!!!!!!!! <br />
<br />
I hope that any troubles you have can easily be washed away by dancing the night away... and if you have to, why not try dancing in the rain?<br />
<br />
This is my dancing collab audition outtake... </div><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I entered the "Be the next beauty guru" contest on the destination channel on youtube! (boy, that was a mouthful!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was so tough getting the entire video to fitinto 4 minutes! (that was the max.time allowed)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Orignally, I filmed everything, face, eyes, lips....and couldn't fit everything so i just settled for the eyes! ha ha</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The grand prize winner recieves a trip for two to NYC ( I already live here haha, they could now save on air fare if I won!) trip to the loreal studio, spa visit, 2nd place gets a year supply of loreal makeup!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the video:</span><br />

Katie</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07705575211984562499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675225520992520291.post-70507281741521145212012-02-02T13:43:00.002-05:002012-02-02T13:49:58.383-05:00To all mothers out there working hard for their families<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those of you reading this that don't know, My mother passed away from cancer after having it for a wopping 27 days in 2006. I've always heard the expression: "you never get over it, you just get use to it." and it is so true! After 5 years, the pain isn't hurting as much, I go on about my life...but every now and then it'll hit me that she's really gone, And I'll hurt all over again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes I get upset when I see mothers and daugthers fighting, or if the daughter is being mean to her mother. It makes me want to go up to them and yell at them "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU HAVE IT! ONE DAY SHE WILL BE GONE, AND YOU WILL REGRET EVERY MOMENT YOU YELLED AT HER, TOLD HER YOU "HATE" HER, DIDN'T DO WHAT SHE ASKED, STAYED OUT PAST CERFEW AND MADE HER WORRIED, OR EVEN THE FACT THAT YOU WENT TO HANGOUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS INSTEAD OF STAYING WITH HER ALL THE TIME!" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today while workinhg, a woman was on the phone with her daughter aruging that her daughter could not come home early from school, and it made me miss my momma so much. I thought the mother was absolutly right in not letting her daughter come home. ( The girl wanted to come home because her friend was being mean to her) The mother told her "I'm sorry that this is happening to you, but you can't come home everytime someone is mean to you, what happens when you work and you need money... but someone is being mean? If you always go home you'll get fired." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I thought about my mother today as I do everyday... but today was a special memory... I thought about all the times my momma cared for me, picked me up from school when I was ill, or even told me "no, you're not sick enough to come home.", bought me surprises home after she would come home from work, when she yell for me to come into her bedroom making it sound urgent when I was doing something important and would say "what, mom?" and she would reply: "I just wanted to say that I love you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I miss my momma so much, she's the strongest, nicest person I know, she is my rock and my guiding light.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Love from my heart to yours, Your Katie</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07705575211984562499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675225520992520291.post-80872861624369639372011-11-24T20:21:00.000-05:002011-11-24T20:21:38.795-05:00A time to be thankful...Let's face it... It's been quite a while since I've last posted a blog, let alone a youtube video. I've been a bit M.I.A. (missing in action) lately and have had some good reasons for doing so. I feel as if so much is happening at the moment, and yet.. feel like time seems to fly by before I can even catch my breath. The last video I made was on Oct. 16th! and I'm planning on making a new one shortly, and thus, being more consistent.<br />
<br />
What's been going on in my world recently:<br />
<br />
-My sister got married in the summer, and is expecting a baby in January! WOO HOO! This is going to be my first time being an Aunt!<br />
<br />
-I got a job that changed my life!<br />
-For some people, this change may not seem like much, but it is to me. For the past 6 years, I've been stuck in the retail industry... and I mean as a sales associate for clothing stores. Easy job... not much to it... but when you're putting in so much passion, hard work, dedication, time, devotion, dealing with rude customers, little pay, too little hours, etc... and always seem to get the short end of the receiving stick, this job can seem more like a burden. So when I took a chance, and applied for a receptionist position with NO experience at a hair salon, you can imagine my surprise when I received an interview and then the job the following day!<br />
When I say this job changed my life, it's because I don't have to fold t-shirts for a living anymore, (WOO HOO!) make decent money for where I'm living, and know that I can actually grow in this industry, It's something I'm interested in and can learn about more... after all, what is a beauty guru's passion? I may not be applying makeup to people for a living, but hey, at least I'm in the right field.<br />
<br />
Anywhoozle, I've been SO TIRED! I haven't had energy to make videos! =[ BOOO! But I'm back to it! YAY!<br />
<br />
Thanks for the comments BTW! I was so excited to see them, even if I did view them a tad bit late...<br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving!<br />
<br />

Sigh. I've been looking online these past few days for some dresses... and boy did I sure find some. I came across REALLY cute dresses, but they were all above $50.00... which isn't that bad.. but if you're on a budget, you can say goodbye to all of those. But I DID come across this website...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.getheavenly.com/dresses.html">Clothing for $15.00 and under!!!</a><br />
<br />
Yes, you read that right! $15.00 and UNDER! everything on this website is for $15.00 and under! CRAZY! I haven't actually ordered anything off this site yet, but as far as I can see, it looks legit. Maybe I'll order some and give a review.<br />
<br />
Anyone know of any other good clothing websites? I need some bargain clothing ASAP!<br />
<br />
<br />
Off to dreamland!<br />

I began thinking about re-modeling back in April, and so far the only thing to get done is the wall paper at the top of the wall was ripped off... I actually still have a small section to go.. after that, It's sanding down the.... oh my gosh! I can't think of the word hahaha, whyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!?!??! what is it called!? I wish you guys knew what I was talking about! It's called... OH!!!!! PLASTER! hahahahahahah. I don't know why that has slipped my mind. But yes, sanding down the plaster and then painting! YAY! I can't wait! Today I shall work on it. The kitchen will be a light pastel blue, with white cabinets and possibly a wood floor.. I was thinking about doing maybe light green accents(Plates, spoons, etc...) or red. I'm confused.. I'm kind of "rushing" through it just because it's been so long already!<br />
<div><div><br />
</div><div>The other side still has to, clean the bathroom, clean the bedroom, take out the trash, put my makeup on, and film a youtube video. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Number of things that have been done so far....</b></div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Zero.</span></i> </div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>It's so hot in my house that I'm trying to get some work done, but I don't think I can move! haha, oh well, at least I'm trying to keep up with my blog.</div><div><br />
</div><div>On another note, I'm thinking about joining a gym! YAY for getting in shape! It's 20 bucks a month!!!! THATS IT! most gym's I've seen in the city can run up a good, $80 bucks a month! *cough: NY SPORTS GYM!* I'll probably sign up sometime after Friday! Maybe we can all get in shape together! Better late than never, I always say! </div><div><br />

So, here goes a new blog. I believe this is my third now.. and hopefully the last! HAHA! So with a new blog, I must re-introduce myself...<br />
<br />
I'm Katie. I am 23 years old as of May 22nd. I started filming my very own makeup tutorials on youtube about a year ago, and it has been probably the best year of my life. I've "met" so many encouraging people (including: Kandee Johnson... EEEEEEEPPPPPPP with excitement!) and without youtube, this would not have been possible. I even had my very first makeup class this year which went extremely well. And hopefully I will be doing some more. I'm trying to get my freelance work started as well. I HAVE SO MANY DREAMS! I want to do EVERYTHING! haha.. but one day at a time as they say....<br />
<br />
Anywho.. won't keep you for too long.. here's a link to my old blog just incase:<br />
<a href="http://katiecuppycake.blogspot.com/">http://katiecuppycake.blogspot.com/</a><br />
and here is a video of me, so you can get to know me a bit better:<br />
