FarmHouse Fresh Products

I first read about Farmhouse Fresh Goods in one of my many magazines that I got through every month. I was already looking for an amazing body oil (I'm on an oil kick!) that was moisturizing but light and didn't get all over my sheets...not to mention Chicago winters suck all the moisture out of your skin. BAM! There it was...Agave Nectar Ageless Body Oil . It smells light and airy, and literally seems to absorb as soon as it hits your skin. I also layer the Backcountry Caramel body milk. I looove the combo..my skin has never been softer!








From the website:
96% natural Vegan NOT Gluten Free (has barley extract)
If you love a deep-soaking, luscious after-shower body oil, Agave Nectar will love you back! The scent is heavenly light - an oat/milk scent (comparable to a to-die-for tiramisu dessert) that women and men alike adore. But it's so much more than a body oil. Made with a special blend of extracts tested and proven to reduce the rate of your skin's water loss - one of the culprits in signs of aging. Barley, Sandalwood and Amurense bark combine with Agave Nectar and a blend of natural oils to deeply hydrate without a greasy afterfeel. This bottle of glistening comfort even turns white in the water, so any droplets on your clothing or sheets remove clean in the wash. No staining. How brilliant!




"97.5% natural Vegan Gluten Free
A sultry caramel dream! If you simply can't get enough of a warm, sleepy, vanilla-cinnamon scent, get ready for your next obsession! Our best-selling Sweet Cream Body Milk has been infused with a golden-caramel fragrance that rivals the finest creme brulee. The feel is light, and it pours like milk, but make no mistake this silky vegetable-based lotion will keep skin soft throughout the entire day. Made with our special blend of natural oils for maximum hydration.

Choose from our beautiful glass cruet with a handle for pouring or our more functional glass bottle with pump. Both make adorable gifts! Sold in a decorative box that reads "Our Cows Eat Cookies."

97.5% natural and like all FarmHouse Fresh products, Backcountry Caramel is Paraben & Sulfate free."

I also have enjoyed using their hand creams, both Whoopie Pie (smells really sweet...literally like frosting..I kind of thought it was a little strong so I wouldn't use is before doing makeup on clients). But the Fluffy Bunny is amazing, and made my nails and cuticle look great too!



So once I was saw the body oil, I started researching about this company, Farmhouse Fresh. I have an affinity for farms because my family has had a 575 acre farm off a lake in the plains of Kansas.

Here is a little excerpt from their site:

Bridal Transformation

Stephanie is a natural beauty, so that makes my job very easy! We airbrushed her skin to make sure it looked even and last all day. Eva Longoria was our inspiration...I think we nailed it on the head.

I loved hanging out with her friends and family for the day; their pictures turned out gorgeous! Here are a few images. Enjoy! Many thanks fo Two Birds photography for their images.

Chicago Based Designer, Nora Del Busto

I had the pleasure of doing makeup for this Chicago based designer for one of the Chicago Fashion Week shows. Can't wait until her career blows up! Such a sweet person. www.noradelbusto.com/

Molly Mesnick and Trista Sutter of Bachelor and Bachelorette

I recently had the pleasure of styling the hair for these two lovely ladies. They auctioned off pieces of clothing worn on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette to benefit the American Red Cross, and the after party at Rockit was a smashing success. Barry Brecheisen took pictures of the night, and I saw a few posted on Edrop-Off's facebook page! There were TV crews there filming for a reality tv show to be aired on Vh1...look out for me!

Their gorgeous jewelry was courtesy of Blue Nile.

Walgreens In-Store Ads

Well I've been wondering when the Walgreens photo-shoot that I assisted the lovely Nicole Cap was going to start popping up, and finally I saw it today! This was from a little over a year ago in a big fake Walgreens warehouse... Pretty weird.

Yelp Review

Tiffany Graydon was probably one of my favorite brides of all time...we just clicked! Not only was she absolutely beautiful, but a kind hearted girl to the core. Here's her amazing review she wrote for me on Yelp!

Chicago, IL

I honestly don't know where to start. Carley is professional, amazingly talented and full of personality. Just a pleasure to work with-I fear the day I can't afford her because the rest of the world discovered her talents! I brought Carley on to work her magic on my wedding day. I honestly didn't know anyone good in the city and was fearful of the heavy handed makeup artist that makes you look orange. She was nothing like that. Carley has the eye and talent to transform you and bring out your best without even looking like you have a ton of makeup on. She also did my sisters makeup and my moms (they are very picky) and they loved her too. On top of her talent she is so sweet, funny and CALM which was so welcoming when you are in the craziness of a wedding. All I can say is I am so happy to have found and met Carley. She is top notch. I may have to find an excuse to get my makeup done again, she's that good!
