How to become your own make-up artist

How to become your own make-up artist

You really need to get Serjame's CD and its AMAZNG the work
he has put into it. I know he is working on his website and I think I should give the
guy a break. After emailing back and forth answering his web design questions,
I have to change my mind about it.
I had at first been a bit hard of the guy and he is trying so hard. I should of waited till I
gave the guy a chance. Everynow and then we all know I can jump the gun and be a bit
mean when I really shouldn't. No one perfect, even me. AT first I will abit his site was ugly
but you know that are sites out there that are so ugly they make everyones eyes just hurt. Those sites are covered with banners and yuck! His site was black and had one picture that was waving. I know he is working so hard and I need to remember that not everyone is at the level of education with webdesign and there is tons of stuff if I had the time I would change on mine as well.

AT least when I emailed him and told my friends to check out his site we all have given him ideas
on how to show the beauty he has to share, have it show on his website.
BUT Serjame he and I started emailing back and forth and he is a super neat person!! I should
have my fingers spanked for words that you see I removed. I had no right and I do hope he
will forgive me.
When my site when up omg its was bad! I had a double site going because I didn't know how to up date PHP cause you can't update PHP like you can HTML. But it was before blogs are big and no one noticed my little pink site. I still get told that Pink is the worse color for a website and I have to disagree. So to each there own.
You all need to keep an eye on his website because I know that when he is done with it you will be begging him for his CD. I did buy it and I went through it and I learn a few new things when I did.

Ya Ya I am making noises about Bonicca again!

Life is Organic - Organic Spa Lotion world by Bonicca

I keep getting hits from this website and I couldn't figure out why.
OK OK I was wondering before morning coffee... so give me a bit of a break..In fact I am having a iced Latte.. created with coffee #5100 from the The Natural Co-op that I am member of, Silk creamer from in fact in Hazelnut (if need to have something Lactose Free like me ) Splenda in the yellow packages the only time I watch my waist line from growing is in my coffee. Don't ask my mom does so I do..
Ok now that I have my coffee I can quit being a duh head..
This blog is own by the creaters of Bonicca and Kim one of the co-owners is one of the neatest people I have ever got to be business with.
In fact she knows how much I am trying to create the best body scrub that she gave me some ideas to use my roses that you know about..Ya its that time of year again..Look out my window and what do you see.. Pretty Pink and white roses waving in the light wind..I even have a couple of deep reds and my Purple tiger that I am so damn proud of is doing her thing this year as well.
Bonicca is the cream of natural skin care. They are the best I could ever offer and I even started using it mostly now. I still love my Peeptoad Hollow Body Polish but the body lotion is now all Bonicca.
I love being able to offer all that I do. If you look on this page down at the bottom you see my table from the bank! Yea and I going to do that again in July!
I am going to go back to work I am listening to some New New Age music that I hope to be able to add to Ovderallbeautybykim.com when I get her all done and ready to show her off. I want to add more natural Yoga music and more to her.

The Stylephile/Bonicca done it again!

Mood Nail Polishes for Summer

Its getting to be that time of year again when its time to start showing off your pretty toes again.
Have you got your pedicure yet? If so I got some great colors of mood nail polish you should be checking out this year. With pink being the color for now at least, have you ever tried Hot Pink to Lite Pink Mood Changing Nail Polish? The first time I ever saw mood nail polish I had got pick up Hot Pink to Lite Pink and I tried it out on my toes but I also like glitter too so you can do this neat little trick.
Go ahead and put on to layers of Hot pink to Lite Pink mood changing polish and then over it as a top coat put on either Fushsia Glitter to pink Glitter or Red Glitter to Clear Glitter and what that
does is when your toes are warm all you see is lite pink with little glitter but when your toes are cold you see bright pink with Glitter.
I really dig the wearing the two polishes together like that cause you are changing up the color of the pink and you get glitter with it.
If you don't have either Fushsia Glitter to Pink Glitter or Red Glitter to Clear Glitter then just putting on a layer of any clear polish with Glitter works almost as good. I also only wear the polishes with the glitter on my big toes cause I love showing off!
The whole idea is go ahead and have some fun this year and start showing off your pretty toes! If you not a wearer of Mood Changing Nail Polish or just never tried it before, then be sure to stop by Overallbeauty.com and try some out/

closing down a blog

Due to the amount of business and because it is not behaving like it should I am closing down
a blog. Http://overallbeauty.com/havecoffee/havecoffee.htm is being closed. It does not archive the blogging I do and there for once its no longer being view because I have written too much for the blog page to handle the blogging just disappears.
Now what fun is that? All that cool notes I have done are now gone because it does not archive!
But I will by no means close this Blog down, its my first and I rather enjoy the thoughts and views I get from all my readers.
Thanks again and http://overallbeauty.com/havecoffee/havecoffee.htm is closing down as of March 30th, 2006.
I will be back later to blog about some really cool tips I found about natural skincare for the 30 year old beauties out there. Just need to finish it first.

Ideas for the day

I am trying to figure out how to make something so it could be downloaded from my site.
Now I think I read something that one must go all the way as if buying for it before you could
download it .. But if its for free.. why do it that way?
It might be that you add it like you would a product and then someone could download it...
gee I think I need testers for this..I am still trying to decide what to put as a download but I
did find that I got some ebooks on cooking. They may be good to use for this as I test...
I am going to work on a catalog and I am thinking of putting all my poems into a ebook
well you know maybe I should give that away instead... just ideas for the day..

No peeking but I finally got a page up thats says I am working on it!
I been working on that for about a hour or so. Had to create the page of course but the fact I got it showing makes me very happy! I had not done that before, really start something! I said I would be getting a new site up and running and it looks like its even closer than before!
Have a great whatever, I got a website to up date with a new article that I still can't decide on its name. How bad is that?

Been reading up on things again

I found that I didn't offer all that I could in my article Nailed! The Truth Behind Discount Nail Salons and what I find out really does need to be added somehow.
I did find out that the new line of nail polish I offer Slimline doesn't have DBP which I been looking into. Its seems that it can cause birth defects in boys only. Not nice stuff if you ask me.

I got my new samples today for my mineral makeup line I am going to be offering. Trying to think of a good name for it. Its amazing stuff thats for sure... Pretty colors I can't wait to open and take pictures of it! I got a few ideas going now..I am going to have a arts and crafts site soon, mineral makeup and I got told I am nuts for doing this, a wedding site! Ok maybe not but I think that there is always room for all ideas. I don't have domain names picked out yet. But I know for sure that Overallbeauty will be part of the name for the mineral makeup.
Its late and I got shopping I need to do tomorrow..so off to bed I go and go do what ever you should be doing too..

I decided oh why not?? I would post my newest article here! I was not the easiest for me
and I had it proofed read by 3 different people! I got a real good friend Cathy over at a1-newsletters.com
that send it out for me. A few dollars more and Nailed! The Truth Behind Discount Nail Salons is now happily on its way around the web. Its going to be real interesting to see where that one
ends up at. Its not your usual article I guess we will see.

Nailed … The Truth Behind Discount Nail Salons

by Kim Snyder Owner Overallbeauty.com

There are discount nail salons on just about every corner these days and a great deal of competition within the industry. Salons that are higher in price are now going out of their way to specialize in different, branded systems that are inventive in the different ways they offer you to take care of your nails.

With Nail Salons on every corner, how do you pick the right one for you? There are many different types of Nail Salons, from your basic services to full out Retreats for weekends in the bed of luxury. How can you tell which one is right for what you want done?

You might enjoy paying less to have your fills done, but the cost of the product used to do that fill is still the same. All nail salons use the same kinds of products to work on your nails, so there really won’t be much difference in the type of products found in any salon you might visit. However, there ARE different brands available for each product type. If the nail salon you are going to uses a name brand product such as O.P.I, China Gaze, Creativespa, LECHAT Color Gel, Solar Oil, even at wholesale prices, the products cost about the same at either high end or low end Salons, so what extra value are you getting if you visit a more expensive nail salon?

What you are getting at a higher cost Salon are typically better services, benefits and in some cases, more personal care and attention. One of those benefits may be cleaner air. Indoor air pollution from the chemicals in nail products can be one of the biggest problems for those who have breathing problems, but still want to get their nails done. If you are getting your nails done at a higher end salon, there is a good chance that they have an air filter or fans or other air cleaners to stop the smell of acrylics from burning your nose or eyes when you walk in the door.

Many additional services are being offered at higher end Salons, other than just your basic acrylic overlays with tips, and simple manicures and pedicures. When we asked clients about the best Salons they had patronized, they said there were differences in what the place looked like, but even when it wasn’t called a Day Spa it was just a step down from it. Here is a common list of services offered by higher end nail salons.

· Spa-level Manicures,

· Spa-level Pedicures,

· Natural Nail Care,

· Silk/Cotton/Linen Nail Wraps,

· Nail Art beyond simple one color flowers,

· Full Sets,

· Gel Overlays,

· Massage Legs, Arms, Hands

· Organic and Botanical products for Pedicures,

· Reflexology.

The whole atmosphere is different at a higher end nail salon. There is no rushing to get your nails done, with your cuticles being roughed up because technicians are filing quickly because they must do many more manicures a day to make a living wage.

Each nail technician in a higher-end salon should be dressed for success or wear a smock with the nail salon’s name on it. They are typically not gossiping among themselves about other clients and not speaking to each other in languages other than English. Salon clients consulted in the preparation of this article made a very strong recommendation that one language should be spoken when there are clients in the room and technicians should wear little or no jewelry.

All these different services are going to cost more and there is no way around that fact. For those who don’t need more than just a fill every two weeks, these benefits may mean nothing, but for those who want more, it’s going to cost more.

After asking different salon owners and those who get manicures and pedicures done regularly, all say one word: “ Sanitation.” The biggest difference between higher priced and discount Nail Salons is the level of cleanliness of the whole Salon, including the equipment and technicians. This should be the most basic criteria of choice.

Based on that, if you can’t decide whether you want to go to a discount nail salon or one that is higher priced, then here are a few additional ideas to might help you decide.

When you walk into a nail salon, either discount or higher in price, stop and look around. Are the floors dirty or does the carpet have big stains on it? What do the nail technicians look like? Do they look unkempt or have nails of their own that look like they need work? Are their stations disorganized and untidy? If this is what you are seeing, then the best thing you could do is just turn and walk away.

A health inspector we interviewed said that when she visited a particular nail salon, her first impression was that it looked clean, and the prices was reasonable. Then she began her close examination. What she saw was down right scary for the salon’s customers. The whirlpool for pedicures wasn’t properly disinfected between each use, and the foot baths provided the perfect environment for the growth of dangerous bacteria. When tested, the bacteria growing in the footbaths could have caused someone a major skin infection. Unfortunately, official inspectors regularly inspecting Salon premises are not as common as it once was. If the possibility of infection is something you are worried about, then a higher end nail salon would be a better choice because they can afford to take better care of their equipment and are typically more conscious of the welfare of their clients.

Today you can buy your own simple equipment for your nail technician to use on your nails and no one else’s. Many technicians use nail files that are single use. You can ask for them if that is something you would rather have used on your nails.

Nail technicians are there to give a service. If they do a great job, please don’t to forget to tip them - they have to eat too.

If you are not sure which Salon to patronize, ask your friends or family or work colleagues for recommendations about where they go to get their nails done. If you see someone with nails that you admire, don’t hesitate to ask them for a recommendation to their favorite Salon. Go with your friends and see their favorite salons for yourself, before having any work on done on your own nails.

Which Salon you choose should be based on many if not most of the ideas we have mentioned above, and on your income, where you live, and what you want done. Only you can decide what you are willing to pay to have the luxury of getting your nails and toes done.
