Think Positive to Achieve Positive Results!

I generally work 7 days, sometimes less but rarely.  As a freelance makeup artist I'm always running from one location to another.  It keeps me on my feet and I return home absolutely exhausted.  However I'm happy, I'm loving my job and where I'm taking myself these days.  I may stress when working, but the level of this stress and the stress I used to get as a tax accountant can't compare.  It's not the same and even though I'm working more hours and days now, I feel I'm handling my daily life so much more.

I'd be lying if I say it's a breeze, because it's not and I will say now that in every line of work you'll get difficult customers/clients.  However with a job you love and enjoy that issue/difficulty/obstacle is actually a lot easier to deal with or solve as compared to a job that makes your life miserable.

I was just told today after attending a Makeup Masterclass by the amazing Australian Celebrity Makeup Artist Dale Dorning "When you think positive you achieve positive results, if you're thinking negative the results turns out negative..."

Sneak Peek: Maddy Anderson Photoshoot with Fifi's Model Academy

Been absolutely busy even though it is the Easter break I don't really get much of a break myself.  Will be taking two days off to rest and then it's back to work again.

Spent a whole day with a young and beautiful model at Fifi's Model Academy on Saturday and already there are some sneak peeks of the photos that were taken.  Can't wait to see the rest of them!

Karolina Couture Lingerie: Tuscan Dreams - Look Book

Back in February I had an opportunity to work with a Lingerie Designer, which is a first for me and her pieces were all so pretty and delicate.  Absolutely gorgeous lingerie that I kept feeling them when I was supposed to be focused on doing hair and makeup.

Sneak Peak of a Lingerie Designer look book and others.

On Wednesday this week I found out that the Lingerie Designer I had met through a wonderful talented photographer friend had launched her look book and website.  I had a good look through the photos as I have not yet once seen the outcome and was very excited to be seeing them.  They are gorgeous, her lingerie are so delicate, classy, elegant, pretty and feminine.  There really isn't any Lingerie designers in Perth, Australia so I think Karolina (designer) had picked a good part of the fashion industry.

I wish all the best and I'm sure she'll rock and become successful.  So here is a sneak peak, of course you'll have to hang in there and wait until I get the official photos from the photographer.

My loves....... Makeup Artistry....... Food.......... & Shopping.

So surprised that I'm actually updating the blog a little more than I was last year.  Even with a busier schedule I feel I have so much more to share with you and in particular my work, events and showcases that I do.  It's going by so fast this year and I can't believe it is already March.  I don't even know how many shoots I've done and how many weddings and school ball jobs I've booked in.  I'm so flat out that I'm always feeling exhausted that seeing my Massage Therapist to fix me up is becoming way too regular!

Regardless of the busy schedule, I can confirm I am very happy and living life a lot more like the way I want it.  Sure its so far from my dream, but one step at a time and I'm sure one day I'll get somewhere even better.  I'll meet so many more wonderful people, talents, artists, designers, etc.

Among all my work I still find time to do a quick shop, sometime retail therapy makes me happier... puts me in a better mood before another long day of work.

Depotted more lipsticks, mostly Gorgeous Cosmetics and some Lime Crime too.  So sad as I scooped them out of the tube!  They are more loved now that I have them all in containers and not collecting dust from being unloved.
