Hickies are unattractive to me. It is one thing sexual that I don't find sexy at all. I know I'm not alone here. We've all been there, when you're young it almost seems "cool", or ways to mark your "territory", or whatever situation that brings such a nasty little buggers.
As an adult, I find them classless, and embarrassing to say the least. Of course there's times when you get caught up in the moment and one is (accidentally) created in a moment of passion. Also in my line of work, we are asked to cover all sorts of things. And unfortunately in the industry, your body is the product. Bruises, hickies, scrapes.. things that you have more control over preventing, are frowned upon. So instead of coming in with the problem for us makeup artists to fix, or just to live daily life without anyone staring, here are two tips/tricks:
1. Comb. Using a fine teeth comb accelerates the process of your cells recovering and stimulating ruptured blood vessels. Gently glide the comb over the affected area being sure not to scrape or break skin.
2. Toothpaste. Cover the affected area with a thin coat of toothpaste to help reduce any swelling, it also helps dull the redness.
These aren't fool proof, they do not rid of hickies, they just help improve them. The damage is already done.

Absence Apology
This will be the first media share of my tragic news, and reason for being a slacker with my blog.
I was raised by my mother and my grandmother. Both loved and supported me uncontionally and showed me the true meaning of family and love. I could not be more grateful for these two amazing women and I would not be the person I am today without either of them. Sadly, on November 9'th 2015 are 10:30am my grandma's soul returned to the universe, where she reunited with the love of her life. It was unexpected, sudden, shocking and heartbreaking to say the least. However, she did not suffer, was pain free, and went peacefully surrounded by family.
The hardest thing I've ever had to do is say goodbye to her. As I choked back tears and held her hands tightly, I told her we were keeping her wishes, and it was okay for her to let go. Losing a parent was not easy, it's lonely coming home and not seeing her in her chair. I've been holding my time with my family so very tightly during this time, and it has kept me away from work and my passion. Trying to fill in the blanks of my life and get everything sorted out has just added to the stress and heartbreak.
This week I will begin my looks and blogs.
Thanks for sticking with me readers, friends and most importantly family. XO
