Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield began its first After School Enrichment Program in the spring of 2009 with great success. I was fortunate enough to participate by offering a Skin Care and Makeup 101 class. The Enrichment Program picked up again in September and my class grew to over 3 times the number of girls! [...]
One of the things I love to do best is work with teens and pre-teens. Educational Spa Parties are a favorite with these girls, and I was happy to oblige Discovery Girls Magazine® when they requested a Spa Party for one of their upcoming issues.
The day went off without a hitch and the girls loved [...]
A friend of mine was in a bind. She had a modeling gig and the makeup artist dropped out at the last minute. Meghan is a sweetheart so, of course, I said I would be happy to help. The job was through John Robert Powers Acting and Modeling School in Boston, and the client was [...]
Okay, I haven’t been very productive at blogging lately and I apologize. Between working on the Destination Matters television pilot, running Tween Spa Parties, and setting up at Salon Trés Chic, it’s been pretty crazy—good crazy though.
It’s summer - well almost. So let’s slough off that winter, dry skin and let the new, refreshed layers [...]

I have to tell you, I can’t think of a more satisfying job than being an esthetician and makeup artist. I definitely get the best of both worlds.
As an esthetician, I’m able to work with young teens and mature adults to help them feel their best. There is no better feeling than helping to eliminate embarrassing acne [...]
Have you turned up the heat in your home yet? Does your skin feel a little itchy? It’s the season for dry skin so load up on the moisturizers. Cover your skin from head to toe to keep hydrated. There are plenty to choose from out there and it can get a bit overwhelming. Curel [...]
Be honest, who among us put on our mom’s party dress and high heels and paraded around the house pretending to be the next Miss America? I know I’m not the only one!
When it comes to beauty pageants don’t let stereotypes fool you. I had the privilege of working with contestants for the Miss Connecticut [...]

While you’re at it don’t forget to change [...]
