Pre-Fall essentials! and a super Fun Collab AND a Virtual Party!! Post overload!

It’s August folks! Can you believe it ?! Kids are getting ready to go back to school, Hoodies are going on sale, and shoe stores all over have boxes and boxes of new boots just begging to be opened and displayed!

If you have been a friend of Freaky Curry, you know my love for food and fashion! If you are new to this love fest, please check us out on different social media outlets every Wednesday for a fun and informative “Humpday” Mantra where I post about my take on current fashion.

Now, when I say Fashion, I primarily mean clothes, accessories, shoes etc.. Quite recently folks started asking me about my beauty regimen.. and I thought this would be a good addition to my ever growing repertoire of things I want to blog about. So please welcome my first “Beauty” related Humpday “Mantra”.

AND to make it sweeter, I am collaborating with a very sweet lady! A Family member and a fellow mom, and a beauty junkie!

Here is an excerpt of my interview with her;

1. How did you discover and What made you choose to sell Younique ?

A fellow yoga teacher invited me to an Online Lash Bash to share the news about this magical mascara; I tried it and was immediately obsessed! I knew right then that I wanted to host my own Lash Bash, aka online party, and tell all my friends     about it. On day 3 of my party, these lashes were selling like crazy, so I decided I’d rather earn the commissions for myself (along with my hostess rewards!) so I invested $99 to get my Presenter’s Kit, which comes with $400 worth of makeup in a   fantastic case AND a 3D Fiber Lashes mascara set!! This kit also includes my business website, back office, and PayQuicker (with debit/credit card) account which allows me to get paid every 3 hours!

2. What was your beauty regimen before using the products

My beauty regimen before Younique was mascara, blush, and lip gloss on a daily basis, but I had no real product loyalty. I have been searching for something that works and that I feel good about using, meaning non-toxic, cruelty-free, natural ingredients, and ethical business practices, but nothing really stood out for me.

3. What is your beauty regimen after you discovered Younique?

After Younique, my beauty regimen is mostly the same- mascara, blush and lip gloss, but with WAY better results! I’ve gotta be honest though- I’m having so much fun playing with all the new stuff in my kit that I’m getting more into makeup!! I’m experimenting with all the eye color pigments, and even dabbling in highlighting and contouring with the BB creams and concealers! It’s so cool how my face transforms with these techniques and products!!

4. What is the best part about this business? Personal growth, professional etc?

The best part about the business for me is this: I found my WHY. I’ve been ruminating on it ever since the Younique Convention earlier this month, and it took me a while to nail it down, but that’s because it really has little to do with me. As a yoga teacher, I got to see people getting healthy and happy by truly doing something wonderful for themselves; I was a catalyst for the powerful engine within them. I miss teaching for that reason, but I’m thrilled to discover that Younique has brought that back to me. I cannot express how deeply I care for my team members and the wins they want for themselves. Sure, it’s nice to get paid, but I would be honored to help my team reach their goals regardless of personal monetary compensation. The feel-good high I get from helping bring out the best (literally, the excellence that’s already within) in others is invaluable.

5. How can I become a Younique consultant?

If you want to join a fabulous company, with amazing products, and inspiring people, Younique is the way to go! “Our mission is to uplift, empower, validate, and ultimately build self-esteem in women around the world through high-quality products that encourage both inner and outer beauty and spiritual enlightenment while also providing opportunities for personal growth and financial reward.” It’s so much more than makeup, truly it is.

“Humpday” Mantra!! Flowers and Pearls…that’s today’s motivation. Feminine, delicate, fragile… All things Woman..and in a good way . I am NOT a floral person but when I saw this dress recently at a boutique, I knew I had to have it. It fit like a glove.. Cherry on the cake! Don’t you love it when that happens..I love the sash tie detail. It helps create a waist and gives the classic shift like dress some more structure. I styled it with neutrals because of the busy print on the dress. Blush shoes, nude eyelet purse and a simple matte gold cuff. I added the pearls and matte gold necklace to play into the femininity of the dress. A bold lip and nail color added the much needed “pop” for summer. Hope you like it. Stay cute in 2014!

I was honored to feature this on my blog today. Trust me it was very hard to find “the” outfit to showcase these beauties. These earrings are so versatile that I couldn’t just stop at one outfit.

In my first look, I am wearing a silk spring floral top with rolled up boyfriend jeans with a pair of nude pointy pumps.

What I liked about this combo is that even though a pair of jeans can be very casual, these earrings just “elevated” the outfit quite a bit. Perfect for an evening out with the girls or a casual stroll in the mall.

In my second look, I paired these dangling beauties with a tribal print maxi which is all the rage this Spring/summer to lay emphasis on the bohemian factor of these earrings.

I added a stack of metallic bracelets and finished the outfit off with a pair of dual metallic sandals for a cool backyard BBQ and/or a chic beach look.

and now Here is a little bit about Ms. Gaiana and Bella Vea;

***********************************************************************************

My family and I immigrated to the United States from Armenia when I was just sixteen years old.  We all stepped off the plane not knowing any english and very little about American culture.  I spent my first 10 years in this country living just outside New York City.  During that time, I learned to love the United States and also met my husband John.  I earned a degree in accounting but was always drawn to the arts.  After being unhappy as an accountant for many years I decided that I could no longer continue in a profession I had no passion for.  I spent many months searching for the perfect outlet for my creativity.  Then one day, as if by a miracle,  I walked into a bead shop and was invited to take a jewelry making class.

The second I picked up the tools and made my first wire wrap I felt my heart fill with happiness.  I had finally found my passion.

I have now spent several years perfecting my skills and running a successful handmade jewelry business.  It brings me great joy to know that every piece that I create is an absolute original that I have designed and created paying attention to the smallest details and using the highest quality materials.

 I feel so privileged when  someone chooses to purchase a handmade piece of jewelry.  I know that they will enjoy it for many years and feel blessed to know that my jewelry may accompany them on a casual night with friends, a dinner with  a special someone, or be a witness to that once in a lifetime occasion.
