2 Good Hair Days in 1- A NEW HAIR VIDEO



 Who wouldn't love to have a guaranteed 2 good hair days?!?
I'm gonna show you how to get this chic and romantic side bun- I've got a brand spankin' new video for you guys! (It's below)
1. It's easy. On an easy scale I give this 2 combs up!
2. It's fast. On the speed scale, I give this an out the door in less time than it takes to listen to 2 songs on your ipod. (maybe even one if the song is 4 minutes long!)
 It's pretty, sweet, looks effortlessly done and has a gentle girly-ness.
BONUS:
For all those people, like me who try to wash their hair every other day (as advised by every hair stylist too, to save that hair color job!)...after you wear your hair like this- it looks amazing with pretty "beachy curls"....me showing off my day 2 locks from the video...


HERE'S WHAT I USED UP IN MY HAIR:
Bobby Pins
Rubberbands
you don't need all these, but I'm just showing all the junk I put up in my hair- my hair is thinner than angel hair pasta so I gotta put a lot of junk to make it look like I'm not going bald!

Now cozy up with your combs, sit back and let's hang out for a few minutes!


I love you more than a lifetime of good hair day,  your kandee

and remember: "If all that made your day bad, was a bad hair- you really didn't have a very bad day at all!"...ha ha ha ha

The Most Popular Car Colors for Your Nails!

 Did you know that the world's most popular car colors for 2011 (according to the DuPont Automotive Car Color Report) were:
1st place:
White/ Pearl White & Silver were tied
2nd place:
Black / Black Effect

I didn't even realize this until I thought about some of by favorite-of-all-time, go to nail polish colors that I've loved since I first bought nail polishes and they seem like same colors as all the cars I've ever had! ha ha ha (well, my very first car was a truck, that was kinda silvery-blue)

I've always loved white (no pearl, just plain white), black, and silver! They make any manicured, polished nails, have a little edge, a little modern edge, and can't help but feel a little rock n' rolly and tough.

So I was enticed by the beautiful display of Zoya nail polishes at Whole Foods....I also love them because they are toxin-free nail polishes! (No formaldehyde - yay!)
how fun would it be to have this whole wall too choose from!?!?
I already own the Zoya (white nail polish) in Purity, but I bought the RAVEN, which is black with a slight metallic look and TRIXIE, which is an awesome, tin, metallic silver!

And for the second week in a row they were sold out of the Anchor Base Coat, which I have been really wanting to try because everyone has raved about it. So I just bought the Get Even base coat!

And know hopefully with my basecoat, my nails will be as tough as a Hummer,  glossy as car paint,   sleek as a sports car, as shiny as chrome, and cool as a hot rod!

here's to nail polish colors that even guys will love, your kandee

The Ugly Side Of Beauty

I always joke that sometimes people in the beauty world, have some of the ugliest attitudes! Sure they might be in the biz of making others look beautiful, but they do not do this with their attitudes!

Walking around in LA, can make you feel bad. Everywhere you look, it's mostly really attractive, thin, beautiful people. From your waiter or waitress to the people sitting next to you eating. Most people look like models, actresses or someone sort of something that requires you to be beautiful.

BUT....I must remind you, this is the town that was famous for creating movies with fake fronts...fake streets, fake houses, fake towns. Yep, any movie studio, used to have little areas, old west towns that looked real in the front, but behind the fake front was, just a bunch of things to hold of the fake looking front.

And sometimes that's how these people are. They look great on the outside- perfect hair, perfect bodies, perfect clothes but their only beauty is on the outside.

It's like looking at a big fancy house, but when you walk inside it's a dump, full of spiders, snakes, and there's no rooms, just an empty basement looking room that's dark and depressing.

I've met people that are very beautiful on the outside and that's how they are, like the fake house- pretty on the outside but how rude, mean and selfish they are makes them so ugly on the inside, no amount of make-up or plastic surgery will truly make them "beautiful people".

I once had a person in LA, tell me I smile too much, and that I'm going to have so many smiles wrinkles because I'm always smiling.
My great-great Grandma, said you can tell how happy someone is, by the wrinkles on their face from smiling and laughing.  That just made me want to smile more...I don't care about my smile lines. I care about how my smile might brighten someone's day.

The most "can't keep your eyes off them", people, are the ones with "plus size" hearts, real life personalities, they love others more than themselves, they smile more, they don't go around saying rude and sarcastic things all the time. They are joys to be around, people miss them when they aren't in the room because they bring a sense of love and happiness, that lots of people lack now.

I've seen models and actresses that are very pretty..but only on the outside. Their attitude was awful, rude and selfish and their only beauty was seen with the eyes. Truly beautiful people's beauty can be felt in a dark room where you can't even see them, you can feel their beauty by the love they make you feel.

My most beautiful friends have:
the biggest hearts...
not the smallest size jeans
not the biggest size bra
not the fanciest handbag or shoes
but a kind smile, a way of making others feel special by caring, and laughing and enjoy life with others- no laughing and making fun OF others.

I hope today you feel less pressure to be thin, wish you had a different nose or teeth or skin, or wish you looked more like your favorite star...
because you can be the most beautiful person where ever you go...because it's your heart that is beautiful, not your "outside"...that is going to get old and wrinkly no matter what!


"The most beautiful people are the ones that make others feel beautiful, loved, and give smiles away easily!"

huge hugs, smiles, and your beauty is just waiting to shine to the world today, i love ya, kandee

Outfit Of The Day: Winter at the Beach

 With my cutest accessory, little Cupcake (not her real name..ha ha ha)..at the beach in Southern California...I just had to walk on the sand for just a few minutes. I didn't need to spend the day there, or even hours, just a few minutes to feel the sand under my feet, play with the sand in our hands, and take in how amazing and peaceful it is to watch the ocean and the waves.
 Plus, it was hot and about 95% of all the other females I saw were super tan and in bikinis...except for me and my pale, clothes self. ha ha ha But here's what I had on:
*black stretch skinny jeans
*long, loose black tank top (i think I got at Brass Plum- the younger women's department at Nordstom)
*belted with my super old black belt with silver rings, that I got a Ross like 80,000 years ago
*black fringe cuff I got at a costume/vintage store  on Melrose, I think it was American Vintage
*black jelly bracelets, my watch and my huge turquoise rock ring that I just got at a store in the mall that was going out of business
*and my chain necklace, I made like 10 years ago out of some scrap piece of chain I got somewhere
*beach essential sandal- I love Havaiana flip-flops in purple for a pop of color
 I love palm trees
 And my make-up of the day was:
~nude pink mouth with pink shimmer eye shadow dabbed on the center of the lips
~grey-blue smokey eye - that I watched this smokey eye TUTORIAL to remember how I did it! ha ha

I really miss living by the beach...and I enjoyed every single second  we got to stand on the beach! Even if it was only for 5 minutes!

wishing we could all be sitting on the beach together today, typing this not near the sand...(ha ha ha)...
your kandee

PS. what's your favorite color flip flop and winter fun toe nail color!?!
I went with a "neon kelly green-turquoise"!

Valentine's Day House Make-Over

 Since my house has looked so boring to me, since I packed up all my Christmas dazzlings...I had to hurry and do Valentine's Day decorating....I have turned my couch into and offical "love seat" with these giant heart pillows (which I got at Target).
 I also go this cute heart wreath in the bargain bins at Target, I think it was like $2.50 or something!
and last but not least....I got a package of foam hearts from the dollar bin, looped some tape to one side and stuck them in the windows! And it's insta-cute!

The only thing missing is my white Christmas tree, which I used to be my "Valentine's Tree":
I got pink and red paper doilies at the Dollar Store and placed them all over the tree and wrapped glittery pink ribbon around the tree.

And that is how you and some "love" to your house!

try to show more love to everyone around you...and watch a true "love make-over" happen in your day!

hugs ans soooo much love, your kandee

How I Fly with a Make-Up Kit

People always ask me:
How do you travel with your make-up when you fly?

ANSWER: I buy my make-up kit a ticket so it can sit in a seat like this? 
ha ha ha ha
JUST KIDDING!

But I thought this picture was hilarious!

I always travel anywhere with my make-up kit in one of my ZUCA BAGS, and this zebra and pink one is my favorite, the wheels even light up when it rolls!
Well, the last time I travelled with my kit, I just drove...and that's when I use my zebra zuca, which is the ZUCA SPORT.
The ZUCA SPORT, has fun prints and colors you can pick- and it's a little smaller, the wheel are on the side (which usually doesn't fit in overhead compartments on planes), and my favorite- THE WHEELS LIGHT UP and people are amazed!

When I fly, I usually remember to take my ZUCA PRO. This more, plain looking black one. 
It's taller, slimmer, the wheels are tucked inside, and it has fit in pretty much every overhead compartment on any airline I've ever flown.
The PRO ZUCA is great, it has compartments for everything and I can always fit some extra essentials that I might need.
Plus, my favorite is, when you're in the airport, or on set, or anywhere, you can sit or have your client sit on it as a chair (it's designed to hold up to 250 or 300lbs I think!)

So, back to my story...I forgot to switch the compartments from my Zuca Zebra bag into my PRO bag to fly....
My Zebra one (with the extra wide wheels, but oh so much cuter than the plain black one), as usual didn't fit into the overhead compartment. The stewardess said she could check it in with the other bags..to WHICH I said, OHHHH NOOOO- "I've got a lot fragile palettes in there! That's why I bring her with me on the plane!
The airline stewardess said I could just buckle it into an empty seat! And them you have the picture above which cracked me up!

So if you are a make-up artist and need a kit bag to fly with, or if you want to travel with a cool suitcase (these are designed for everything from ice skaters, to dancers, to school bags, to just suitcases)...these bags are amazing. The wheel roll smoother than a Cadillac too!
AND DO NOT REQUIRE THEIR OWN TICKET! ha ha ha h
suitcases full of hugs, your kandee

"the best, essential item to travel with anywhere, is a "go-with-the-flo" attitude, expect trouble in life or travel so it won't surprise you and extra smiles to give to everyone you see!"-
 especially an airline stewardess that says you can buckle your make-up kit in a seat! ha ha ha

PS. I travel with all my larger than they allow liquid bottles or containers, in ziplock bags, wrapped in bubble wrap in my check-in suitcase.
