Expensive hair...Trying not to care

One thing I have been trying to do more of is style my hair... It's so much easier to throw it up in a ponytail! Over the past few weeks I've managed to wear my hair down a couple of times and no one recognized me! I even had trouble getting buzzed into a school I have been working in for the past two years. 
          So, I'm back to thinking about hair and makeup and was thrilled to get some hair love today. Find an amazing hair stylist and ask questions! I adore my stylist and have made more of an effort to go see him lately. He taught me how to curl my hair in big waves and I'm excited to try it. I was feeling very guilty when I left the salon today because we all know most amazing stylists don't come cheap. 
           I realized that some things, for me, are just worth it. Save money in some areas and treat yourself to the things that make you happy... My hair was expensive and some of the makeup I'm wearing in this picture was also very expensive. However, most of the makeup was actually very inexpensive and hopefully you can't tell the difference! Stay tuned and I'll let you know some tricks I use to save money on makeup without sacrificing your cute look! Thanks for reading  <3 E

My glitter track

I am so excited to be making my first post! There are so many reasons I wanted to create this website. I love doing event makeup and I definitely love throwing parties! The more I thought about which direction I wanted to take this, the more confused I got.  Should I write about kids with Autism? My makeup and party business?  Just post pictures of work I've done? Well... I have finally decided! A few years ago, for many reasons, I stopped doing the things that made me happy. In June, I looked in the mirror and realized I was 27, unhappy, and unhealthy. Things needed to change and that is something I have always resisted. On this website, I want to focus on all the things that bring me happiness. Maybe some of those things will inspire you! I got a lot of comments about the name of my website...some sweet, some funny, and some negative. My life truly lost its glitter... And I'm bringing it back! I hope you embrace every chance you get to make your life a little more glitter E!

Here's the first step I took to get back on my glitter track!



I've lost about 90 pounds... and I'm still working on it!





I cannot wait to start doing and showing you all the things I used to do that made me happy. Thanks for reading this far, I hope you enjoy! -E
