sorry im late......

i am now a california state licensed esthetician! hey now

whats new?

well im a couple of days away from finishing school and going to state board on tuesday....yes the 14th lol. im a little nervous but im sure ill do well. not to toot my own horn but i feel really good and ive been doing really good too. im sooooo ready to start my life off right i just cant wait! im going to take the time to get myself together physically, mentally, financially and all other ways too. well i have some new images to post and i hope you enjoy them. this young lady is flawless skinned shante lol. i absolutely love her look. from her hair to her cheek bones, she is amazing and sweet too. i have to work with her again and soon.

Gentlemen......

i have recently been thinking of starting up my very own product line exclusively for men. now a days you have more men who are interested in stepping up their game when it comes to their skin care. i am hoping to start a line that is NOT all chemically formulated but more with natural ingredients that are healthy for the skin. we are in the era of anti-aging and everyone wants to anti-age lol. so why not start if off naturally? most people don't realize that the mass majority of your skin's damage happens in between the ages of 20-22. most women are conscience of their skin so we start the anti-aging process earlier than must men.

so fellas, what do you use to wash your face with? bar soap, a facial cleanser, just water, etc.

if there was something you would use, what would it be? cleanser, scrub, moisturizer, sun block/screen, after shave toner or maybe even a mask, etc.

its a beautiful day in the neighborhood.....

today was a very nice day out. i had a shoot planned and got through some of it then we lost our light....but hey it happens! the location is absolutely beautiful! nestled in the angeles national forest looks like something you would see in twilight. pics to come soon so keep an eye out.

what a day?!

i had an excellent day! i have my date for my state board test to become an esthetician and i got my new pics photographed by Jenn Hoffman www.jennhoffmanphotography.com and my two lovely models are Georgia Visser and Vince Azzopardi (love them). please enjoy and let me know what you think.

Hey now....

hey folks,

its been awhile since I've posted anything. well just to catch up I'm almost finished w/ school (thank GOD), hopefully i will have a job come January 2011 @ Burke Williams Day Spa in WEHO (crossing fingers), i have had to put 2 of my beloved dogs down Bud and Oreo (my 2 OG'S) in March and Today unfortunately. i am sad but i know in my heart i made the right decision. so its only Lucky, Mimi and Baylee left. on a happier note i have been shooting more and over the summer i did my 1st film called "Isis Dynasty" starting Fatima Washington, Faizon Love, Tanika Ray and some other celebs and comedians. needless to say im excited to actually see everything come together. within the last couple of months i have had 2 new nieces marley and savannah. i havent been buying mac products as much i have started exploring my other mu options and im pretty impressed with them. smashbox is cool, occ make up is nice and make up forever is great too. to sum it all up ive been thru somethings this year but its still been a great year. there are positives and negative to go around but i try and focus on the positive. hope all is well w/ everyone and ill talk to you soon!

My exciting week @ school.

Well i guess it has been that long since I've posted anything! geesh! lol but since then I have had the most fun I've had in awhile. I started school @ Cerritos College for Esthetics and I must admit it was the best decision I have ever made. I have learned so much and I have been so blessed to be able to experience all of what skin care has to offer. This week alone was amazing were I said I'm sold on doing this for the rest of my life. Tuesday, I met James Vincent! He was so inspiring and just all around wonderful. LOVE HIM!! He told me when I finish school to contact him and believe me I surely will! I was soooo excited to meet him. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Wurwand, the founder of Dermalogica and the International Dermal Institute (IDI). The whole day was just so cool. The facility was beautiful, the Estheticians were so cool and informative. This week was just so refreshing and to end it off the Make Up Show LA on Sunday! This week alone was just so amazing and this is just the beginning of it all! Can't wait to see what else is in store. Until next time folks.....


much luv,

ASH
