SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES…
Halloween is (without a secret) my absolute favorite holiday! The tail end of every year brings many people joy for various reasons: cooler temperatures, pumpkin-spice-everything, thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. For me, my black-n-silver-glitter coated heart is instantly aflutter the second I see the first Halloween garland strung up at Michaels. It’s Halloween or the highway in my book!
So, without a doubt, when Caro from B2B (Blonde2Brunette Blog) approached me about doing a Halloween makeup collab, I almost peed my pants a little. Let’s be honest, Caro and I share the same passion for many things creative, and Halloween is just another one to add to the list! Not only does she have a kick-ass background in theatre and special FX makeup, but she also pulls off any glam and fantasy look like a champ. Besides, two creative brains are always better than one!

If a day had more than 24 hours I’d finally get around to:
Tough to say. Learn and perfect a new instrument (currently struggling with my uke) or categorize, print, edit short videos and photos of all my family and friends. Nothing like home movies and photo albums.
