What's Behind The Glove  VINTAGE GLOVES She looked around, feeling isolated and detached from all the other women in the room. She wasn’t trained on how to properly wear gloves. Looking at her hands then looking around at everyone else, she looked down and her mind began to race. She thought to herself   “Do these gloves make my hands look fat? Maybe my fingers look like the gloves are too tight? Do I have these gloves on right?”  She wanted to know what the rules were. Under those gloves were hard working hands. The first rule was to never go outside without wearing your gloves. Gloves that didn’t fit properly meant you were low class. She noticed her gloves looked so plain next to the other ladies. Their gloves were extravagant, embroidered, embellished, and a lot of womens' gloves matched their outfits. She dreamed of wearing gloves with such lavish designs, embroidered with embellishments to match her clothing. Not only were gloves stylish, but also a necessity.  There wa

     The Better You Look...The Better You Feel Unveling The Confidence Within  She would never walk into a cosmetic department at any retail store. She'd try not to look at all the beautiful women getting their make-up done.  "I'm not pretty enough, I can't afford it, they're snobby people,"  are things that popped in her head as she quickly walked by the make-up artists. Until one raining day, she walked in to get a new pair of shoes. The store was so quiet, you could hear the echo of heels walking through the aisles.  "Excuse me, can you pop in my chair? I got some new colors in and I wanted to try them out."  She was in shock,  "Me? I'm sorry, I just came in for a new pair of heels, not makeup."  The make-up artist replied,  "That's okay, you'll be giving me something to do, pop in my chair, I'd really like to try our new products out on you."  Sometimes makeup can be intimidating, women don't feel they'

  The Better You Feel  This woman stared at herself in the mirror holding back tears when I asked her, "How do you like your make-up?" She was facinated. "You just gave me the greatest gift, I can't believe this is me, but prettier." As a national makeup artist, it would be so easy for me to do a womans makeup and send her on her way. But what an honor it is as a national make-up artist and give a woman the power behind the brush to be her own makeup artist. Empowering a woman with a force of confidence, showing her that she has the talent and know-how to do her own make-up is beyond gratifying. I stood back and my heart dropped just a little, I just thought to myself, "I can't believe how some simple shadows and a couple of brushes transformed a persons spirit." I smiled and looked into her eyes, "No, you just gave me a gift. I feel so grateful that I had the opportunity to let another person know that she deserves to be beautiful. It was a p

                      The Timeless Appeal Of Vintage Bow Tie                                                                                                   Bow ties have long been a symbol of sophistication, style, and individuality. From black-tie events to everyday fashion statements, these classic accessories have stood the test of time and continue to be a beloved wardrobe staple for many. While new bow ties are readily available in stores, there's something special about vintage bow tie that adds a unique charm to any outfit.  The history of vintage bow ties dates back to the 17th century when Croatian mercenaries used small, knotted neckerchiefs to hold together the collars of their shirts. This style eventually made its way to France, where it became known as the "cravat" and later evolved into the bow tie we know today. Over the years, bow ties have been worn by artists, intellectuals, and fashion icons, becoming a symbol of indiduality and sophistication.
