    Now that the sun has finally decided to stay out, I’m very aware of my mustache.

    excuse me sir... err... I mean 'mam!

    Excuse me sir... err... I mean 'mam!

    I use this brand for a quick fix me up.  I do have mustache hairs, bu they are very thin and fine–so this works fine! I have never done the bikini line using this brand, but I have used it for my knuckle hairs and eyebrows.

    Here’s a video clip of how I wax my mustache.  I do this about once a month!

    First you rub the wax strip with your hands, to warm the thin layer of wax.  Then you peel the two layers apart and use both sides.  Remember to pull in the opposite direction of the growth of your hairs!

    I get sick of my hair easily. Typically, I have a Hair Plan and have my perms, coloring and haircuts evenly spread out. But since I currently don’t have a stylist that I truly trust entirely in all those areas, I have to take care of business on my own every now & then!

    …Such as cutting my own bangs! I just wanted a little change—so I went to the store and bought some nice hair scissors (and yes, you should use REAL hair cutting scissors!) and chopped off a few layers. Honestly—it’s just hair. If it sucks, I’ll wear a handband for the summer and it’ll grow back!

    Some of the awkward weddings I’ve done in the past had one thing in common: silence.  The noise and hustle and bustle of your wedding day is supposed to make things exciting! Although working in silence is OK for me as the hair/MUA, I always thought about how I had wanted my wedding day to start off giddy and excited!

    Some tips for your BM’s to make your “getting ready” part of your day exciting:

    - opt to have the BM’s sleep wherever you will be on the night before. I really think this makes a great farewell for those single lady sleepovers and it makes the vibe more “OMG I’M GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW!”

    - play some MUSIC! jam to Britney, Beyonce, KellyC, Nelly Fertado, Fergie or whatever. (those are some of my favorites!) make sure you either bring a small radio or something to the hotel if you’re not sleeping at a home.

    - make small talk! enjoy yourselves and chat!

    - don’t be grumpy! (even though you’re up at 7am)

    "hmph... it's not MY wedding!"

    "hmph... it's not MY wedding!"

    I’m not sure how I do it…. Maybe it’s not really me and it’s just inspirations that I pick up along the way. But I seem to have a knack for predicting upcoming makeup trends~ :)

    Maybe it’s this picture I saw a few weeks ago that gave me that Bridal (clean, classic, timeless) inspiration :) and not my ESPN~

    I am (by far) not an expert on makeup application. Though I have picked up a lot of tricks along the way and love sharing them with anyone that’s willing to listen~

    Recently, I quit by full time job to pursue my dream allowing me to have A LOT more time on my hands. One of the things I’ve been dedicating a lot of my time to is to making customized how to video clips for the brides that have trialed with JAC. I must admit, that it’s been a little frustrating because 1) I didn’t have a nice camera till about 3 days ago 2) I don’t know how to edit the video 3) it takes forever for 1 video clip to load to youtube =(

    But I manage and without further ado – HOW TO: for Rosemari

    Being the cheap-o that I am, I can never find a good enough reason to pay for the full retail amount for BLISS products.  Don’t get me wrong, the few BLISS items I’ve used were amazing but to have it for 60% off, makes it a whole lot AMAZING-ER!

    J’s totally taking advantage of:::
