Halloween has always been a favorite of mine… si

Halloween has always been a favorite of mine… since I was little, I always loved dressing up (which may be a trait that has already been passed down to the next generation!).

Halloween became even more special in 2009 when I met the man of my dreams… even though he wasn’t in a costume. I was dressed as a trophy wife when we met. How’s that for foreshadowing? 😂

Sixteen years later, I still love dressing up, and it is even more fun as a family (even though I stress when I make the costumes last-minute, and today was not without meltdowns from the Charnado). It’s fun looking back and seeing Halloween start in Milwaukee, go to the Bay Area, then LA, then Sacramento, and now back to MKE.

I’m enjoying this time where Charlo still lets me do a home made family group costume while I can, because I’m sure someday he’ll want store bought and to do his own thing… but I am blessed that Tommy has always been a good sport for a couples costume over the years!

Did you dress up this year? What’s your all-time favorite of your costumes?

For a makeup artist, my family and I really seem to choose a lot of costumes that involve little or no makeup. 😂 Back when we lived in California, I did a few fun Halloween (or Halloween-ish) jobs. I kinda miss the creativity (and 💰), so here’s a lil trip down memory lane. Maybe Tuesday’s corporate client will let me glue some rhinestones on the financial advisors to scratch my itch. 🤪😂

Last Saturday, I took a break from unpacking and shared a way I did something small that had a positive impact on my mental health. I got a lot of encouraging replies to my story, so I wanted to share a shorter version of it here in case it inspires or helps someone else.

I think so often, we feel like we need a lot of time, money, or effort to make a difference, and that’s simply not the case (I needed the reminder too).

Small things can cause momentum - internally and externally. And doing good things that are tied to your interests and/or play to your strengths will make it more likely you continue to do them!

If anyone wants to share what their interests and strengths are to get help finding ways to make a difference, I’d be happy to provide suggestions! 💜

Earlier this week, I learned that @michaelcoakesar

Earlier this week, I learned that @michaelcoakesart passed away. We worked together a few times - once with me as a model, and at least four or five times as a makeup artist before we moved to California.

I hadn’t talked to him for years, but always thought he was incredibly kind and had a wonderful joie de vivre. He was an artist in many disciplines, and I loved listening to him speak passionately about his different media of creative expression, (including food), and how much he loved his wife.

He took a bit of a chance on me initially as a makeup artist, hiring me when I was still a bit green, and I always appreciated it.

I was on the fence of whether to post this… I didn’t want it to be for attention, as I don’t feel that the loss is mine. And… well. The pictures are kinda weird for this purpose. But as a fellow creative, when I pass someday, I think I’d love any sort of remembrance, and as someone who loves absurdity, I welcome weird references.

Now I feel like there are a few other photographers I should honor with a post, so maybe that’ll come someday…

Gallery night last night included artistic expression for furry friends too! Grateful @quentinquarantinopup got to be part of the action. I’m intrigued by this process and want to try it at home, with different color combinations and paint placement! (I’ll let you decide if it’s me licking the peanut butter to spread the paint at home, or Q… I do love peanut butter! 🤪😂)

It’s #NationalYogaMonth and @beyogiinsurance challenged instructors to share their answers to one of four questions… I thought it’d be fun to answer all four, so here we go! Do you do yoga? If so, what do you love about it?

The world is hard right now. Here’s a soft place to land if you need it - some box breathing with elongated exhales to promote relaxation. These clips were from some moments of zen in Greece and Cyprus from my trip this summer. I hope they help! 💜 How do you stay soft when the world is rough?

I can only imagine what she’s thinking (and what she thinks I think of myself).., 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

In addition to exploring a few islands this year,

In addition to exploring a few islands this year, we made a few random afternoon trips for some fun in the sun and water that was not the beach/sea!

The first one was Aquapolis, and I still can’t say the brilliant name without laughing. It’s a water park near the zoo with fun stuff for kids of all ages including a variety of water slides.

The second was Lake Vouliagmeni, which was a natural lake with beautiful bluffs. It’s a thermal lake, so the water was a more comfortable temperature than the sea. There were also little tiny fish called Doctor Fish that nibble on you - like those pedicure places, but natural! It took some getting used to for sure - about the first 30 minutes I was in the water, I tried to stay in constant motion and had a tough time suppressing shrieks every time I caught a random nibble.

Something worth nothing about the lake is that sunscreen isn’t allowed in, to protect the ecosystem within. We were super lucky that Charlo chose to wear a swim shirt that day. I just tried to stay submerged or in shade and only put SPF on my face, which I kept out of the water.

Our third spot was Waterfun, and it was a less expensive option to Aquapolis but perfect for a little one who’s not tall enough to go on big slides. They had big slides, we just didn’t check them out. I’d say it and Aquapolis were close to equal in what they offered, but the presentation of Aquapolis was a bit more elaborate (and it was about twice as much price-wise to enter).

All three had food and drinks, but I think Lake Vouliagmeni had more sophisticated choices (including cocktails). Lake Vouliagmeni also has a spa, but I didn’t get the chance to check it out… yet!

Which of the three would you most want to try?

My flabbers were absolutely ghasted when I read this email! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

If you know me, you’ve probably heard me say I’d rather have a root canal than talk on the phone, which is why this commercial is extra hilarious and maybe why I should earn an Oscar for my performance as “woman who likes talking to people on the phone.” 😂 Hoping to get in front of the camera more soon!
