UPMC Magee-Womens will forever hold a place in my heart- my two boys were born there and we received the best care ever.
So when they reached out to me to be a part of the Magee Beauty clinic, I jumped at the opportunity to do mini- makeup sessions on cancer survivors & women fighting cancer.
I had so much fun with all the ladies who sat in my chair- they were open to suggestions & had questions galore;)
It’s truly life changing to lift someone’s spirits with just a little: blush, lipgloss, eye makeup & concealer:)

Please reach out if I can ever offer any beauty tips or advice either in person, message, email, Zoom or text.💕🙏🏻💪🏻

Here we go! 🖤🏈💛

For the last 30 years, game days haven’t exactly been relaxing. There was a team to root for, a game that mattered very personally, and, let’s be clear, a considerable amount of stress attached to the outcome. This season is different. Mike will be watching football from a new seat at NBC, and I’ll be watching from a new seat, too: fan. I no longer have to route for any specific team (but Go Steelers!) and I don’t have to pretend I’m calm when I’m absolutely not. I can just relax and enjoy good football, good food, friends and something comfortable to wear. I’m actually excited to see that that feels like. Here’s to a very different kind of football season.

How I spent last summer!
….sweating it up & working with the good folks from Hershey!

Shout out to all the departments on this period film set in the late 1890’s- 1900’s- the sets, cars, props, hair and wardrobe, and the cast, were all so spectacular!

I loved my bosses and had the opportunity to work with the background on this show, who all did such an amazing job working in the early morning hours, or late at night, in the blazing heat, in the wool costumes, corsets and pointy toed vintage shoes for 12-16 hours every day- congratulations to a job well done.
👏🙌🏻⭐️

Our job in the makeup department consisted mainly of: covering up tattoos, removing false nails, eyelashes, shaving lots of beards, and adding some facial hair, mustaches or sideburns to some of the hundreds of background artists that worked on the show.

There was very little makeup, if any, applied to the women on this show- the high society women wore some lipstick and rouge.
A select few got to wear some Burt's Bees lip balm, and maybe the tiniest bit of gel blush, but that was it.

No mascara, no eyeliner, no nail polish, fake nails, or piercings…every single person working on the show had to go through hair and makeup before they went on to set, especially when it’s a period film.
Every trace of makeup that some of the background would show up wearing, had to come off. We did a lot of eyebrow correcting, covered up some blemishes, permanent eyeliner, and even filled in pierced earring or nose ring holes! Women also did not “tan” like they do today- their skin was very pale back in those days.

I’m really looking forward to seeing this heartwarming film this fall and so thankful for the opportunity, and also the abundance of chocolate on set every day;)
