ALMOST GROWN: Preparation Time

"The makeup should never wear you,

you wear the make up."

"When it comes to glam, the more the merrier!"

Preparation time before the shoot is always fun!

Especially if you got Ariel's talented hands working away, and may I add

flawlessly, through each little detail with his creative eye.

There isn't a time I don't leave his chair feeling like a star!

On this wonderful day Ariel decided to come over so we can have some fun and I

can't wait to show you the photos that Ariel took of me in my

yard.. yes this young man can also take awesome photographs.

In between all this we played guitar, sang, ate delicious food and laughed.

Definitely needed and can't wait for next time!

I also added along some fun quotes by Ariel Tejada

While he is working away on my face, I decided I will photograph and make this blog post
