New project with Mayer Hawthorne

Check this out! New Limited Edition vinyl release of Mayer Hawthorne's 'How Do You Do'! 12 small records (45's) that when put together, create one big image. There are very limited quantities and they're all numbered by hand. I got number 35! Thanks to everyone that was involved!

Check it out!

Casserole Queens

Check out another yummy recipe and my work with the Casserole Queens - baked penne with sausage and kale! yum! These women are too much fun!

Never do this!

Ladies and gents - Never hide your freckles! Freckles are beautiful and I've met way too many people that are insecure about them. Use your makeup to enhance, never to hide.

Vegan Chlostess Creme Filled Cupcakes

Pretty sure this was my favorite day filming with Chef Chloe. Having her friend, Naz in the kitchen (and in the makeup room) made it feel like I was just hanging with friends, not working. And to top it all off, this is one of the best cupcakes I EVER HAD. Watch, learn and make these at home!

Check out the full recipe and episode Here!

Hot/Cold

Juuuuuuuust right!


Great day at work with Lord Huron recently. Fantastic guys, fantastic crew, felt like a day off making friends. New video work coming soon :)

Limited Edition "How Do You Do" Vinyl

Check out my makeup on the new limited edition "How Do You Do" vinyl box set from Mayer Hawthorne. Each album cover connects to become artwork for your walls and set includes wall hanger. We had a great time making sure this picture was just right! I'm so glad it's finally being released! We had a crew made up of many talented people, most of whom were from Michigan (like me and Mayer). It was great fun, check out the promo for the project below, and get a copy before they're gone!

Vegan hot dog's and double double burgers!

Here are some yummy new recipes from Chef's Chloe and Roberto! I used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar on Chloe to stick with her vegan way of life. These burgers and hot dogs were SO good. We even took them to the streets to see what the carnivores thought. Check it out!

Check out these extremely yummy recipes here!

IMATS: LA

I had such a great time at the IMATS today - Being able to meet so many artists that I look up to is so inspiring! I saw TONS of artists at the pro hours - Kim Greene! Koren Zander! Glenn Hetrick! In a city where I see celebrities constantly, I was TOTALLY STARSTRUCK!

Art Smith will shake up your taste buds with this yummy recipe

I was a bit starstruck with Chef Art when I saw him. I've watched him on TV many times and he seems  extremely knowledgable and friendly. Still I wasn't expecting him to be one of the nicest people to work with OF ALL TIME. He was so kind to everyone, even slicing up the monkey bread for the crew and bringing me a piece! What a nice guy. He actually reminded me of a relative of mine so I liked him even more :)

This is seriously YUMMY. I suggest trying it this holiday season!

Holiday Desert: Monkey Bread with cranberry and orange

AMAZING FOOD + MAKEUP? Yes please!

This makes me so happy guys. Extremely yummy food, incredibly happy and loving people, fun and MAKEUP!

I've been working on some cooking TV shows and this one was just great to work on. Chloe and Roberto were the best! Seriously. Check out their recipes for SANDWICHES. Amazing, spectacular, award winning sandwiches. Vegan Ruben (Loved by Ellen & Portia) and this crazy indian influenced panini that blew our minds on set. Make these at home! For real.

Mango Masala Panini and Vegan Rueben

"Make doughnuts, not war" with Chloe Coscarelli

Another video brought to you from Chloe Coscarelli and Hungry Channel. This time? Doughnuts!!

I had a great time working with Chloe (as usual) and an even better time eating these tasty baked, vegan doughnuts. The day got even better when Chef Roberto stopped by to help with his adorable son, Jackson. Check out the segment with the full recipe Here

My favorite inexpensive beauty buys

Milani - One of my favorite drugstore brands. It has high pigment so you get an amazing color payoff! The color range is amazing and they constantly come out with new things that are popular in the prestige lines. My top favorites are their lip gloss, lipstick, liquid eyeliner and glitter nail polishes.

Sonia Kashuk Brushes - I love these brushes! They are great for personal use, cruelty free and high quality. I especially like their Medium Fluffy Eyeshadow Brush, which is the perfect size for a multitude of eyeshadow styles. 

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream SPF 15 - I love this line from Neutrogena. It contains a small amount of Retinol, which will improve the appearance and texture of aging skin if used long term. It's also fragrance free, non comedogenic, hypoallergenic and oil free, all of my favorite skin care terms.  I suggest using a lighter moisturizer by day with a higher SPF (Like this one) and wearing the cream at night. General rule of thumb, if you're not yet 30, don't tan excessivly and don't see any signs of skin aging, stick to lightweight moisturizer with SPF and an eye cream, no anti-aging products needed.

Cetaphil - Come on, you know you've heard this one before. There are so many attractive and enticing lines out there to use and this isn't the most fancy or popular one but trust, it does everything you need a cleanser to do and it's under $10. It's all the good skincare words (fragrance free, non comedogenic, hypoallergenic and oil free) plus inexpensive and great for your skin.

Loreal True match Foundation - I love this foundation! They have made it so easy to match your skin color by making each shade in a Cool, Neutral and Warm shade. Really what that breaks down to is, is your skin pinkish, yellowish, or neither aka neutral. The best thing about it is Rite Aid, CVS and other major drug stores are allowing cosmetic returns these days, making it very easy for you to choose the shade you think is correct and take it home to try it out. If it's not right, take it back and try again. Your shade is out there, you just have to find it. Remember, the correct shade will disappear when you put it on! Ideally you wont be able to see it on your skin at all! Take a look at in in indoor and outdoor light to be sure, that way you avoid the dreaded visible foundation line at your jaw.

Revlon Lipstick - I have been a fan of Revlon's ColorStay Overtime line for years now! It is phenomenal! Lasts as long as you need it to and sometimes longer. The key is to exfoliate your lips before application and to apply it quick! Use a lipliner first if that'll help you get it in place before it dries. I like to scrape the excess lipstick off of the want and then apply, that way I can build the color. Also fab about this brand, Gucci Westman is their creative director! She is everything!

Loreal Mascara - All or Loreal's mascara's are perfection. No matter if  you need a lash building or a lengthening product, they've got it and this brand is #1. Try Voluminous False Lashes, my favorite!

Yummy holiday recipes!

I worked on this cooking segment of chef Chole Coscarelli making her vegan cranberry cinnamon rolls. Chloe is the winner of Cupcake Wars so even more reason to taste one! It was A-mazing!! Watch the segment and try cooking them yourself. Great holiday treat for vegans and non vegans alike. 

New music video! "Saturday Night" by Jonti

Here's the latest video in my portfolio - I loved working on it! I have a lot of fun working with Jonti and there was a great team involved. 

On this video Jonti wanted something a little strange... I think we achieved that! I spent the entire shoot laughing and having fun. It hardly feels like work being back at work with Stones Throw. 

Go see Jonti on tour with Gotye if they come to your area and check out his new video now!
