Vera Vision Sneak Peek--In the Kitch

Tanya was never a good cook. When she was younger, she loved being in the kitchen and would cook each and every time she had a chance. As she grew older, she never cared for it. College and nightlife took over and there was simply not enough time to spend in a kitchen, slaving over food. But when her new boyfriend, Kyle, came over for dinner one night, Tanya had to impress him. Little did she know he was going to be the one impressing her instead.

Tanya’s one bedroom was spacious in almost every way: high vaulted ceilings, a private balcony and spacious storage. Of course, there was a one small area: the kitchen. It didn’t seem like a problem to Tanya at first until she actually tried to cook in it for the first time. Then she realized her kitchen was too good to be true. The kitchen had plenty of cabinet space to make up for the ridiculously small refrigerator opening. She was lucky enough that one of her old friends was housecleaning and gave away his fridge to her. But the small kitchen also solved the problem for when she wanted to cook. Not enough space, she rationalized. Lean cuisines and to-go orders were her lifeline.

And then she met Kyle.

“The one thing a girl can do to impress me the most is to make me a home-cooked meal, Kyle once revealed to Tanya during one of their dates. Several days later, she found herself in the middle of the kitchen making a mess and hoping it would at least turn out decent. If not, there was always pizza. Tanya was getting the appetizers out of the oven when she heard a knock on the door. Kyle showed up a bit early. Looking down at herself and seeing the flour bath she just had, Tanya shook her head and went for the door. At least she didn’t smell funky.

My Downfall Began

Images forever burned into My brain

Penthouse, February 1976.  I was 17…these ladies were playing in-between the National Geogrphics in My parents basement.  From that point on…I was hooked.  So vivid…strong…rough…sensual.

My Funny Valentine Pictoral.  There are more to this set….but these two….yum

So perhaps this explains it?  I don’t know….but it’s in Me now…forever

Blush Lust

Blush is one of the most important aspects to makeup, and is too often overlooked. Until a couple years ago, I viewed blush as an unnecessary extra. Now I wont leave the house without it!

One of the reasons blush is so often passed by is because applying it can be a little tricky. It’s all to easy to over-do it and look clownish. However, when applied correctly, blush can define the face and give a glow. Shouldn’t we all figure this out??

A common mistake in applying blush is putting all the color directly on the apples of the cheeks. This placement isn’t going to enhance bone structure for most face shapes. The blush should instead start at the apple of the cheek, the be brushed back along the natural shape of the cheekbone toward the ear. This will help enhance your cheekbones and add dimension to your face.

The next issue is the choice of color, as well as shimmery versus nonshimmery. I used to avoid shimmered blush like the plaugue because my skin tends to be oily. However, I’ve learned I can rock it with a matte finish foundation, so don’t let your skin type hinder you there! Here are some of my favorite colors that can work for a variety of skintones.

*Benefit Coralista: A lightly golden shimmerd coral pink. This color looks so light and fresh, and the slight shimmer lifts the face. It goes on sheer, but can be built up for more pigmentation. It also has a nice rose scent!

*MAC Blushbaby: A matte lightly tanned pink. This one is great for when you’re not sure what to wear, but know you don’t want your cheeks to be the focus of your look.

*Urban Decay Fetish: This a gold shimmered dusty rose, and it’s totally gorgeous. This one is one that will call attention to your cheeks. It’s also super pigmented so be sure to layer carefully!  

*MAC Dainty: This is my personal favorite right now. It’s color is a light , but bight, shimmery peachy pink. The pink is very bright without being too much, and the shimmer does so mush for my cheekbones!  

What are some of your favorites? Any special tips or tricks?
