Glam Sophisticated Private Makeup Lesson with Nikolina Beauty Part 1




I recently won a make up workshop from Nikolina Beauty the owner of GLAM sophisticated. I have always wanted to learn and improve my make up abilities.

First thing I realized.  Is that I don’t take very good care of my skin.  I don’t ever prep my skin before I apply my makeup and I have absolutely no morning or evening facial regimen.  These products are a Cleanser, Serum, Moisturizer, Eye Cream and Primer.

Facial exfoliating with a daily massage helps the exfoliating process and micro-needling the face and neck helps to create more collagen in the skin as well.  

Did you know that we build new skin cells every 28-35 days?  

So, unless we get rid of old dead skin cells on our bodies, they just keep building dirt in our pores and create blackheads, whiteheads and acne.  PLUS, the older we get the slower our skin cells and collagen replicate so it’s important to add extra products from a face care regime that can protect the thin layers of skin on your eyelids, nose, cheeks and forehead.  

Using a moisturizer and primer before applying makeup allows the makeup to not create a “cakey” look and can last longer.  Using an eye cream and serum is what allows the skin around your eyes to stay smooth looking and not to see the fine lines when applying your makeup also.

Do not use skincare with alcohol or Arsol for these are very harsh chemicals on the skin.  Most skincare products have a small picture of a jar on the back of their products with a number in the middle to keep you informed about when the expiration date is.  

Important to be sure to wash your facial towels, body towels, pillowcases and makeup brushes regularly.  When drying your makeup brushes, have them hang over the bathroom counter to dry so they don’t build up germs by lying on a towel during the drying process.


My skin already has age spots, early signs of rosacea and wrinkles.  I’m not worried about again but I do need to take this more seriously.  Especially since being a Bodybuilder and workout out strenuously can do some quick aging to your skin if you don’t hydrate enough.

I know I drink WAY too much coffee and not enough water AND I don’t wear SPF Sunblock like I should.  So that’s another thing I’m putting back into my daily routine so I can be more responsible and take better care of myself.

What is Whey and Caesin Protein?

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.

I got offered a position at KSHP Radio!

Since I have not been on social media for 3 days I have been thinking about all the online work I used to do in radio as a VOA and Radio Broadcaster.   I really enjoyed the face to face connections I did back at KLAV1230am and VANR Online and the relationships part is what I hold very dear to my heart.  Since my family is in Ca and I don't have kids, my family tends to be the people I spend the most of my time with in and out of the gym.  This part of finding my true career path has lead me to where I am today but I still know that with my time and energy that there is more for me to pursue to making more of an income.  So, today as I was driving down Jones heading to my chiropractor at Canyon Lake Neck and Back, I passed by KLAV, an old radio station I was training at years ago and had a thought that I should stop in and say hi.  Overtime I've driven by there on my way for my back adjustment and something tells me to go back in there, so today I did....
