Very bad days...

 You can still see the glass jars and toaster that once was the cozy kitchen to a family....
So many heart breaking disasters have been going on around the world...
and now in the southern states of the US...
a massive Tornado has killed over 200 people and made parts of Alabama look like a bomb hit it...

Alabama reported 180 people killed
Mississippi  32
Tennessee  33 (my sweet great-grama was from Tenessee)
Georgia at least 10
and Virginia has lost eight...there are even more states with more being reported missing and killed.

People's entire homes are missing, hospitals are filled to capacity, power has been out for days in some areas and the death tolls keep rising...
It doesn't matter what country we're from or what nationality we are...we all have a heart that beats and a desire to be loved and have a safe place to call home.
Please pray for the people who are now dealing with this in their day...

The poor Red Cross is trying to help out with all the disasters all over the world...and though we can't be there with our hands, we can help donate money to give the hands that can, some help

Beauty in the Streets

My Jordan showed me this on youtube last night...
Beauty is everywhere...we just have to see it...

Art is everywhere

...not just in museums or in fancy buildings. And sometimes the beautiful things don't cost a thing...just your time to appreciate it.

No one had to buy a ticket to see this...
These dancers haven't spent years in dance class...
this is beauty on a street corner...in Oakland, California. Where this style of Turf (supposedly an acronym for Taking Up Room on the Floor) dancing originated.
It's like Micheal Jackson's moonwalking moves meet ballet meets acrobatics, meets amazing!
watch at :53 (Mann, the dancer in the black jacket...AMAZING!)

Jordan told me they were dancing in memory of the the dancer Dreal's (in the white shirt), brother who passed away. Dreal is incredible too (they all are), watch his arms at 1:44...!

check out...no ticket needed...just watch these amazingly talented guys bring beauty to a street corner in the rain...

look for beauty today...anywhere...a street corner,  in the clouds in the sky, it's all around...it's just waiting to be seen...

WHAT BEAUTY HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?

love and dancing in my living room, your kandee

Do Blondes Really have more fun?

(do not judge my hairstyle...this was like 100 years ago...ha ha ha)

For a short time, I wanted to feel  the "blonde" experience. It lasted until all my hair needed to be chopped of because it felt like hay or straw.

I will say, I love my dark hair....

but I was fun to be blonde...even if my hairs were like, "what the blonde have you done to us?"

While I was in beauty school I think I had almost every color hair possible from, black to golden brown, to auburn to orange, natural looking red to fire engine red, blonde to blue and green (sort of by accident)...it's not a good idea to let your fellow students color your hair! ha ha

What do you think...who has more fun?

Blondes,

Brunettes

or

Red heads

or any other fun colors?

Cute Hello Kitty Nails

I love Hello Kitty! 

Was it my first Hello Kitty Folder in Kindergarden or how I fell in love with the smell of all the Hello Kitty erasers, pencil cases, and mini drawing sets at the Sanrio display? I don't know...I do know I can't even switch out my, beloved Hello Kitty purse!

May I present to you..Hello Kitty Nails!

 what you need & what I used:

paint brush- any cheap paint brush from the art or craft store will work, you could even try using a toothpick if you don't have a paintbrush

white nail polish- I used Wet N' Wild polish in 449B - it' a great bargain polish, but you'll need at least 3 coats to get nails really white
yellow polish or yellow polish pen - any yellow polish will work, but I used a Migi Nail Art pen (you can get them at www.miginailart.com)

black nail polish-  any brand will work, but I used "I Believe" from Dreams by Neihule polish
red nail polish or nail art pen- and red polish is fine, but I used the Migi Nail Art pen again, it's fun!
top coat- it also will help if you use a basecoat before you begin with the white polish! I used Seche Vite Top Coat

Here's a Hello Kitty image to help you when painting her on your nails!

(personally, my fav is the face with the nose with the black outline for the nails, but you decide!)

 Here's the Hello Kitty items you'll see in the video:

#1. My Hello Kitty Purse- I got mine at www.baghaus.com (they always seem to be sold out though!)

You can also try Loungefly.com, but they are always sold out too!
I even saw them at the Macy's in San Francisco!

#2. Hello Kitty Ring- I got it at Hot Topic, it is really cute, adjustable, but mine had a sharp plastic piece that scratched my finger, I'm going to try to file it down!

Now see how to get some cute Hello Kitty nails on your cute lil' hands:

Hello Kitty and Hello Hugs....from your Hello Kandee!

Real Life Barbie Doll!

What the Boobs!?

Yesterday, I saw this picture on  www.beautylish.com...

 of Galia Slayen's life-size Barbie's she makes to raise awareness about eating disorders)

 GET A LAUGH OUT OF THIS...

What would we look like with BARBIE'S proportions?

(here's a little funny experiment the BBC did)

(all I can insert here is me GIGGLING) that is too funny!

It's cute on a doll, but not so much in real life!

No, (hee hee) this not Barbie....this was me with my BARBIE Make-Up Tutorial...

(if you've never seen it, CLICK HERE for fun!)

MY BARBIE BEFORE AND AFTER

BEFORE

 AFTER

Thank Goodness I never wanted to have Barbie's proportions or even worse, Strawberry Shortcake...my head would be 10 times bigger than my body!

here's as Barbie as I'll ever look....(ha ha)

thankful that I don't have doll measurements.... kandee!

Bacon Beauty- Bacon Perfume or Nails, anyone?

So, maybe you've tried a Bacon nail tutorial (I have not done one! ha ha) This one is from Melissa Osbourne of www.daily-nail.blogspot.com...and you're still craving more BACON in your life!

The I HEART BACON shirt in your laundry is not doing enough for your senses!


I was taking a peek at the interview about my Prom  make-up in high school (click here to read it, it's fun!) on Beautylish.com ...
and what did I see...but BACON perfume!

 Guys and Girls can both wear this uni-sex Bacon aroma!

For $36 US Dollars you can smell like a breakfast favorite, side order...
To get your hands on a some scented sizzle of your own, go to the home of this "crazy/marvelous" potion... FARGINNAY!
AND  don't worry, it comes in 2 fragrances....Classic Bacon and Bacon Gold!
I have no idea what this Bacon fragrance smells like with the 11 essential oils....but I really want to know! 

WHO MAKES BACON PERFUME/COLOGNE?!?

A butcher from Paris, John Farginnay, circa 1920...
came up with his secret BACON recipe of 11 essentials oils and BACON ofcourse! And soon had people and film stars hunting down his secret "perfume potion"!

if you're still craving Bacon...
there's always Bacon Shoes from Keds..

 

I think Bacon Shampoo would be a hit Ha ha ha!

and then there's this guy with a Bacon tattoo....

and now for some reason I'm craving pancakes!

Now let's see what everyone thinks...weigh in on the Bacon Perfume Debate!

Would YOU WEAR BACON PERFUME?

Bacon Bits.....kandee
