Black Friday and Christmas 2016!

Hey everyone!

Today's post is going to be about Black Friday and Christmas 2016!

I would put some Thanksgiving here as well, but we didn't do a whole lot for Thanksgiving this year so I'll just skip it. lol.

Black Friday is a really BIG day for the company I work for since it's a retailer. We were to wear all black and had some fun things going on on-site. I also had already started the Seasonal position I'm currently in there (which I absolutely LOVE) so I got to do even more fun things than I ever expected!

Here are some photos of that busy but awesome day!

I wore black EVERYTHING! Black eye makeup, black clothes, leather jacket... I even wore a newer black necklace I got! I love dressing up to themes!!

Next I'll show you all Christmas!

All of my family came over to my Grandma's house and it was a blast! It had been a long time since we had all gotten together like that so I felt very thankful and happy. I know it made my Grandma feel really good too. Everyone got along and had a good time catching up and just hanging out!

I'll show ya!

Selfies! (with the tree!)

I may have also used a couple SnapChat filters, cuz hey... it's Christmas!And I got to wear my new Onesie my aunt bought me!!

One of my favorite parts of this past Christmas was ALL THE CUTENESS! Not only did my aunt and cousins bring over their new puppy, but I also got to play with my cousins baby! He was so cute and smart and even said "microwave"! lolol! We played for hours!

This was by far the best Christmas we had had in years and was very memorable. I love my family and it makes me so happy that we all were able to get together and have a really good time! Something I won't forget for years to come.

I hope you enjoyed checking out my Christmas! I will post more about the fashion I wore (and perhaps some that other family members wore) in a later post!

Have a great day, love yourself, and STAY BEAUTIFUL!!! <3

Halloween 2016!

Hey Everyone!!

Sorry I've been absent for so long. :(

The holidays definitely had me busy, not to mention a seasonal promotion at work! But I'm back and ready to post!

Here very soon I will be doing makeup and beauty product reviews and tutorials! I'll make videos but also probably do a step-by-step style tutorial with pictures! To further this, I will make a Twitter account and Youtube account to add videos and get my reviews and tutorials out there.

First though I want to update everyone on what all has been goin on.

Today's post is going to be about Halloween 2016!

This past year I went as the Joker from Batman. A female version of him anyway. It was a BLAST! Putting the whole costume together and coming up with makeup ideas wasn't easy and was pretty time consuming, but SO worth it!

I've been Batman villains the past few years. 2015 I was Poison Ivy and in 2014 I was Catwoman (both of which you can view on my Portfolio page and my Facebook!). This past year though I wanted to change it up a bit. I felt that too many people would be going as Harley Quinn with the new Suicide Squad movie that came out earlier in the year, so I wanted to do something a little more creative. So I went with Joker! Check it out!!

Here is how I did my nails!

Those are my real nails that I just filed into the Stiletto style. I used my purple and sparkle green nail polish with another green sparkle polish over the green!

Here was how I did my makeup!

I first used a thin layer of foundation and then put my regular eyeliner on. I then used face paint and made my face white and made the area around my eye black. For my mouth and the smile I used one of my favorite lipsticks. I'll go into more detail and a short tutorial in a later post.

This was how it all looked together!


In some of these I put my wig up in a clip because it was pretty warm in the bar we were in. I bought most (maybe the entire) costume from Amazon. I'll post links to all the items in a later post as well!

I absolutely LOVED this costume and got a TON of compliments! I even wore it to work while I helped with our yearly haunted house for the associates kids! They even loved it!

Dressing up is one of my favorite things to do and always has been. I like to be able to change my look with just a bit of makeup and a wig. It's so much fun and makes me feel more versatile!

I promise I'm going to be posting more and keeping everyone updated! I'm also very excited to get my tutorials and reviews on beauty products out there to help other people like me!

Keep an eye out for my next post! It's going to be about Black Friday and Christmas 2016!

Thanks for reading and stay BEAUTIFUL!

My Cousin's Wedding!

Hey guys!!

Sorry it's been so long. I've been crazy busy these past few weeks. But I'm back!!

So this past weekend, my younger cousin, Allie got married!!!

This was so exciting and amazing and utterly beautiful!

I grew up with Allie. My cousin C.J. and I were raised by our grandparents and she would come over literally all the time. The three of us are the oldest of the 13 grandchildren in the family, so we're all very close. It turned out to be easier to deal with than I expected. She is younger than me, as is C.J. who is in a serious relationship as well. I was afraid of feeling left out a bit. Like I was getting left behind because I'm the oldest and still single I guess.

But let me tell you, it was beautiful! I couldn't be happier honestly! Everyone had a great time and got to see each other after it being months since we all had gotten together. Definitely a success!

Also it was a great opportunity for my photographer, John! This was the first weeding he had ever shot and Allie LOVED him! The shots were insanely beautiful!! You can see some of them here: www.facebook.com/JohnnyHallPhotography

I took a few selfies and pics with my phone as well! Lookie!





Again it was a very beautiful wedding and I'm so glad I was able to be there! I really love my family so very much!!!!

Have a good one guys! And keep an eye out for another post! I have another shoot to upload very soon! :)

Heya everybody!!

Had a shoot last weekend!!! It was a BLAST!! Got some pretty sweet pics out of it too!

Here's a preview!!



This shoot was so much fun!!!! It was with John again!

I'm going to post another on my Portfolio page here.

ART!!

Hi All!!!

This week a friend of mine who is also an artist drew an amazing picture of me!!

His name is Jason and he's created several pieces of art! Portraits of all kinds of different people and they are AMAZING!!

Check it!



I love it! I've always wished I could draw this well! It's awesome!!!

You can find more of his stuff on his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ArtByJasonWalters

I just LOVE art so much! I feel art isn't appreciated enough in this day and age. I'm sure I'm not alone in this feeling either.

However, our area is FULL of local artists including photographers, videographers, musicians, painters, I mean the list goes on and on. I plan to post more about local artists here as well. We need to get our names out there and show the world what our little area can do!!

Speaking of art, I have to get ready for my shoot today! Sounds like we're going to get a lot of amazing images and it's going to be a lot of fun!

Of course I'll post the images as soon as they're ready! I'll put a few here, but I'll upload the majority to my Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sarah.Tay4/ So don't forget to check em out and Like my page!!

Thanks everyone and remember to love yourself and continue to create as much beauty in this world as possible. The world needs more!!!

Taking a Big Step for Me

Heya guys!!

So I have good news and less-than-good news.

I've been a little sick this week. Had to go to the doctor two Fridays in a row now and may have to go back this coming Wednesday. So that's part of the not-so-good-news, but I also had to reschedule both my shoots for this weekend. That disappoints me, but I need to keep my health well first and foremost. I've been taking my medicine and trying to get some rest so I can be at 100% again. Just going to take a bit of time.

Ok, now for the good news.

With health in mind, I've decided to finally to take a big step to try to better my overall health now and for the rest of my life. I'M QUITTING CIGARETTES!!!!

This is a pretty big step for me. I've only quit smoking a couple times and for very short amounts of time in my ten years of smoking. However, I know it's not going to be easy so I also got some help.

With the help of one of my best friends John, I went and bought a Vaping device!! I don't know the fancy lingo for what all the parts are called, or even what the whole device is called, so I'm calling it a "device" until I find a better, more cool sounding word. Lol!!! Check it out!!



So you can probably tell I'm sick and please forgive my nails that need painted TERRIBLY, but I'm really proud of myself for making this decision and taking the first step. I love me and I wanna make sure I can love me for as long as possible, so switching from cigarettes to this may very well make that happen!

Love yourselves, you guys! You're the only you in this entire world, and you're the only you you got!

My FB Fan Page!!

Hi guys!!

So the other day I finally set up a Facebook Fan Page to help promote my modeling (and whatever else I end up posting over there).

I am so very thankful for all the support I've received! My page acquired over 200 likes the first day it was active!

This is amazing and astounding to me! I would have never imagined it would get that many likes in that amount of time. I truly do feel so very grateful for this!!!

If you'd like to see more of my modeling photos, you can totally check it out!

https://www.facebook.com/Sarah.Tay4/

I'd super appreciate it if you liked the page too!!

I also have two separate photo shoots set up for this weekend, so I'll post the photos from them onto the Facebook page as soon as I can as well!

Again, thank you to everyone that has been so kind and supportive!!

Have a great day, all!!!
