IMATS and Kandee Awesomeness!!!!

I had the best weekend EVER!!! I attended IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) in Pasadena. Cannot tell you how amazing this was for me!! This will be an annual event from now on!

The floor was top to bottom the best makeup lines with insane discounts! I was a total kid in a candy store!!
There were random people in makeup for display! The body art was to die for!
Queen of Hearts...
Love this one!!
Creepy white lady.
Dina Ousley. The original creator of airbrush makeup. Changed the face of makeup!!
Love her abs!!
































This guy was crazy!! On stilts
with horns all over and crazy
eyes! I tried to get a better
picture, but be walked away so
fast! He had mad stilt skills...This girl is literally wearing a vest and skirt! Everything else is makeup. Wow. We were very, uh, up close a personal. Wink, wink.

It was great having my mom there. I think she enjoyed it just as much as me! After the floor show we did shopping, PF Changs and saw "Grown Ups." I love Old Town Pasadena! Such character! 

My IMATS haul. Yay for pretty things! I wanted oh so much more. Next year...
The next day, I had the pleasure of attending a Kandee Johnson Glaminar to get certified. I learned so much and just had the greatest experience soaking in so much information! Kandee isn't just known for her incredible makeup talent, but she's an amazing motivator. Just a beautiful person in and out.

Bridal tips. Contouring /Highlighting. We also learned about fashion tips, editorial, film and commercial.. .
My certification.
Giving inspiring words.
Kandee. My inspiration. We have a ton in common which is why I think draws me to her. She has 3 children as well but has insane drive like me. I offered my services to her for other glaminars if she were ever in need. I like being surrounded with positivity and she's just saturated with it! Respect, lady. 
So, this is the best part! I won this amazing professional makeup bag/carrier! I wanted this so bad! I literally held my breath when she drew the name for this prize and I couldn't believe I actually got it!!! It's so amazing cause you can use it as a carry on when you travel and use it as a seat as well!  
Needless to say... I love, love, LOVE my ZUCA!!! I haven't been able to buy one since they're about $300! Thank you Kandee! You gave me so much knowledge and inspiration that I will use forever! Check out some of her awesome YouTube videos! She's a riot! Again, why I love her!

Daddy's Day '10

For Father's Day, the Kuhn family gathered at a park and had dinner and played games. A sweet Sunday! Thank you Fred and Sylvia for making it a fun day!

Grandpa had some fun games planned for the grandkids. Thanks Fred! The kids had a blast!

Three legged race... except Thor, Tre and Spencer made it a four legged race!


They did their best! :)
Brooklyn's had an "accident."
So guess who made her a skirt with Knox's blanket...
Cousin Ella Bella.
Wheelbarrell racing... 
Tre rocked it, actually!
Tori and Soda.
Look at those eyes.
Hot fathers.
The older cousins.

The Kuhn Father's. Thanks for being good men, loving fathers and handsome devils.

Beach with Garrett

My nephew Garrett has been staying with us for a little while and has loved spending time at the beach. The kids love it too! Love summer!

Knox feeling the ocean for the first time. He was fascinated with the sand.

Muddy sand castles for Brook.

Tre wrote his name in the sand.

San Diego Dancesport

My mom and sister did SD Dancesport Championship this weekend. Since I can't compete due to fund-age, I get to live the experience through making them up for the comp. They both did amazing! My mom basically won everything in her division and Monica received 4th which is awesome! I'd like to say my makeup/tanning skills helped with the outcome, but I guess their long hours of practice had something to do with it. Whatever. I'll be out there again. Someday. For now, it's mommy time...
