Houston, Glaminar, and Baby Bumps

A close-up from our “Glaminar Group Shot”…

like “where’s waldo?”, “where’s kandee?”…..me surrounded by all my Glaminar -star “love bugs” and all their shiny silver gift bags!

Houston….it may be ridiculously hot and humid here, but something else was in the air thicker than the moist air – it was full of love, hope, happiness, tears, and such an incredible, incredible day! I will not be the same after this weekend. Not only did the girls who came say they it was a life changing experience…this weekend changed my heart beyond belief!

I have to say HOUSTON, has been one amazing place! From feeling all the love that everyone poured out about congratulating my about my “cupcake in the oven” to just being an incredible weekend of heart-opening experiences! This was more than I could have ever expected!

This is Aubrin, a make-up superstar-in-the-making and our official Youngest Glaminee ever – she is 11 years old and will be doing make-up for an entire dance troop of girls! She came to the Glaminar as her birthday present….and we had a birthday dinner with her afterwards at Benihana’s that was sooooo fun! She even shared her recipe of Gingerale with lime juice with me…and we all sang her happy birthday over her green tea ice cream. Two other precious Glaminar Stars had dinner with us, sweet Lauren, and the beautiful Talia…I had such a fun dinner with you all! (or should I say ya’ll….I want to adopt using ya’ll…it’s so stinkin’ cute!)

And this is a little peek at the “kandee baby bump” growing! Thank you to every sweet and generous heart that brought me a gift..from books, to jewelry, to a keychain,  to a sparkly flower pen, hello kitty goodies to cupcakes and sweet, sweet baby things…I opened your gifts and read your notes and cards…and my heart was just exploding with joy and love…you all bring me to tears!
I love each one of you dearly…and I am privileged to be able to touch your lives and inspire you, help heal your hearts and fill you with hope…way beyond just teaching you make-up!

Please enjoy this video…I love you all so, so much!

typed with love, your friend (even if you’ve never seen me in person…we ARE friends!)….kandee

PS. I ate the best thing ever today…a root beer float cake…OMGoodness! It was from Ruggles in Houston. So yummy!

Sun-Labs Ultra Dark Kit Review & Giveaway

Hi Bellas,



I’m back with another review and giveaway.  This one is for my self-tanners out there.  I had a chance to review the SunLabs Ultra Dark Self Tanning Kit.  I was pleasantly surprised at how great it worked for me and I’m also giving you a chance to win!

Click here to see more!

Check out my video!

I’ll say that I had a pretty good experience with this kit.  I’ve used it for several weeks and it’s performed really well.  This is a great option for those of us who want a bronze, healthy tan without the damaging effects of the sun. 

Pros

  • non-streaking
  • applies a nice bronze color, not orange
  • kit includes everything you need to prep, tan, and maintain the color
  • good price for the package
  • available in multiple shades
  • smell isn’t that bad

Cons

  • stains hands a lot, you need a good exfoliator to get it off
  • not completely scent free…after the tan develops you smell the scent of the chemicals more 

Would I Recommend:  Yes.  This is the best self-tanner I used so far.  The price is reasonable for the entire kit.  My drugstore tanners cost around the same and they’re not as good.  If you’re a regular self-tanner I think this is a good choice.

 You can find this product at  http://www.sun-laboratories.net/best-selling-products/sun-labs-beach-bag-ultra-dark-set.HTML
This great kit is on sale for $49.95 (normally $85.95)!!!! 
Use promo code FRSH2010 to purchase the Beach Bag Ultra Dark.  Not only will you get the discounted price but you’ll also get free shipping because you watched me review the product!
