WORD to Yo MAMA

this a blog post about WORD-word of the day, keeping your word....word to yo mama!

WORD OF THE DAY-

	bada bing bada boom
Definition:	an exclamation to emphasize that something will happen effortlessly and predictably; also written bada-bing, bada-boom
Example:	And bada bing, bada boom... the cake is done

now that we have our new fun word to use....
I read something great about keeping our words....
have you ever had a party, and like 13 people said they'd come and then 6 show up? I have, and I wished that if people said they would do something, they would....or at least tell the person as soon as you know that you can't!
I know there have been things in my life that I said I'd do, then when it came down to it, I didn't want to, or it wasn't "convenient" (i had something better to do), but I did what I said I would do anyway. We want to be people of our words...if you say it, mean it. Let your yes, be yes, and your no be no.
I need to tell myself this all the time, I am a people pleaser, and it makes it hard for me to say no to people, but I am working on, only say yes to what I know I will be able to do!

It's as easy as that, bada bing bada boom! ha ha ha ha ha
happy sunday before Christmas...I'm off to do some last minute present shopping...I still need to get my mama and sweet sister something! hot chocolate and christmas music, kandee

All I want for Christmas...

1. Vanilla Extreme by Comptoir Sud Pacifique
i love this perfume and have been wearing it for years!!! it smells like cake!

3. Sabre Sunglasses in the KOZOI model
i love these for so many reasons...1, kinda 80's and i love that...2, kinda tough with the studs, and 3 they are funky fresh....and I bet few will dare to wear them...and that's what I love wearing! ha ha ha

4. URBAN DECAY BOOK OF SHADOWS II

5. Skull Candy Headphones
I can't decide between the white ones THE SKULL CANDY GI

random thoughts: glaminars, ebay & throw up

Mr. Sandman didn't visit me very long last night.....
click here to see why:
www.adventuresinkandeeland.blogspot.com
I'm a little behind in my daily tasks....ha ha ha
yesterday was filled with shopping in the mall....and oh so much more....
where Nicolle made my day, by recognizing me and coming up to say hi and get a picture...
thanks Nicolle for coming up and saying hi!!!! And she had awesome green eyeshadow on!

I was supposed to work on my GLAMINAR schedule...yes, I will try to be coming to a city near you teaching make-up wonder...yay!!!!
I just wanted to get some updated feedback on where I might be "wanted" the most....
some cities might be:
Chicago, LA, San Diego, San Fran, Toronto, London....Dallas or Houston.....Seattle.....make your requests....I'm gonna plan the schedule out for the new year!

And next, I have some things I was thinking of selling on ebay....watches that my friend made, like mine, some things I needed to just try to sell anyway....would anyone want to buy some treasures from my closet and beyond!?!

I am so tired...but one true thing is...you are going to have to do things no matter what...so you might as well be happy and merry while you do them. Two people can do the same things..one happy and one complaining....I guarantee that the one who does it happily won't mind it nearly as bad as "el complaino"...ha ha ha ha

So remember today whether you had grumpy people at school, rude drivers, a difficult person, or a not-fun task...do it "merrily"....because it's going to get done one way or the other...and it might as well be the happy way!

huge love and candy canes, kandee
PS. I promise I'll have a better blog post tomorrow! ha ha ha ha

I got a friend!

my built-in, best friend....my sasster (sister)...I would do anything for her...she is everything that I'm not....and she has been my constant companion since my parents brought her home from the hospital "for me"!!! We could be in the same room, not saying a word, and know exactly what each other is thinking! And I laugh harder with her, than anyone on the planet! I love you more than cake loves icing!!!
this is Jamesa, who is my amazing helper extraordinaire at my Glaminars! This was after the LA Glaminar, and she was my sisters bestie, growing up, so she is like a bonus "sister" to me too!
this is my friend Tamara, who swirled into my life many years ago...and she has been like sparkles and glitter in my life ever since...she is so precious to me...and she dislikes talking on the phone as much as me! ha ha ha She inspires me, and her encouraging words have helped heal my heart, like little miracles from heaven! I heart you Pudsie!!!!
this is my friend Teresa that I've known since high school, but we just reconnected months ago, and she is so sweet and encouraging! She truly loves me for me! And I love her for her! She has been through so much, including open-heart surgery....and still laughing and smiling, from her hospital room and beyond! I heart you rings love fingers, bella belle!
and my friend, Ian (who looks like a ladies man in this photo! ha ha)...he has been such a dear friend, answered phone calls at 1,2, or 3 in the morning, he is my best guy friend...like a brother, homey, and someone who's been there through a lot of my tough, tough times...and some of the really great ones too! His giving heart, has been a blessing in my life...and he's been a great support for me! I love ya man!

FRIENDS, Pals & Acquaintances
I have a lot of "people I know", but true friends that love you for you, that celebrate who you are, that don't want to change you, that love you no matter what....
those are rare and so special!

You want to surround yourself with people that are right for you! That don't want to change you, or make you into something you're not....they just want to love, support you, be there for you...and just love who you are!
Same thing goes for a "special someone" in your life...you want the right one. That makes you the best you...that makes you feel wonderful and adored. That celebrates you...and helps cheer you on to be the best you, you can be!
Sometimes we work hard to be friends with people who aren't right for us. People who don't have good intentions for us, or aren't people that will be right for us. God knows what we need in our life, and sometimes he will bring in the most amazing people to love you the right way!
If you don't have someone like that in your life right now, know that I believe in you, and I would celebrate all the wonderous things that make you who you are!
And you can always say a little prayer for God to guide a precious friend into your life!
huge love....from your friend that wouldn't change a thing about you! ~ kandee

Nickel and dined!

her mohawk has whispered to me..."come eat here...if i am in the window..it's got to be good!"

hungry...
I've walked by this place, the NICKEL DINER, tons of times....
each time, wondering about how amazing their "bacon donut" tastes....

this is what I love...the mannequin heads in their window....with "icing" hair that looks like it's been "bruleed"....i love it!
this is Main Street in Downtown LA...the walk up to the Nickel diner on a busy, rainy, saturday morning...

10-15 minute wait to squeeze into a narrow bench seat, where I got to get quite cozy with the folks sitting to my left...ha ha ha
this place was jammed with downtown local hipsters, tourists, and families...
mademoiselle in her pink "icing" hair and bread hat!



after you are offered your table...you are brought donut holes and a cute lil' plate with a doily! I love it.....our flavors were the always curious..."bacon donut"...sweet & salty, and a Nutella donut...chocolaty and crunchy with hazelnuts, yum...i love nutella on anything really...there was a time in my life where I would just eat spoonfulls of Nutella! ha ha ha
I was so excited to see a Dutch Pancake on the menu...my mom used to make them, but she called them "oven baked pancakes"...this wasn't like my moms.....so I had to order another something...ha ha ha

all whole new crowd of peeps came and dined while we had our one sitting...ha ha ha..probably because I ordered a round 2 of food....ha ha ha
round 2: the SMACK & CHEESE....roasted tomatoes, bread crumbs, and spices....the best MAc N' Cheese I've ever had!!! (the street that this place is on, were somewhat notorious for drug sales....and it's pretty close to the famous Skid Row...so some items on the menu are named after some "drug-ish" names...kinda funny...ha ha ha..and probably equally as addictive...i would eat this mac n' cheese all the time!!!


I loved this painting on the wall..."This is the place: There is no place, quite like this place, anywhere near this place, so this must be the place!!!

And that sums it up...i've never been to a place with bacon donuts, smore's cake that looks like the mannequins hair out front, and has the best mac n' cheese around!

I give it a thumbs up!
if you're in the downtown LA area....go give this place a whirl...it's fun a and definitely an adventure! yay for eating! ha ha ha..thanks for coming along with me.....

Kandee + Saori = this!!!!!

Here it is! My beautiful friend Saori (pronounced "sow-dee")...she is so sweet and kind, and is absolutely gorgeous. Her bone structure is amazing, and it was so fun to put make-up on her! And yes, she is the model in the WetSeal ads! She's been a Ford model since she was a baby, and you can read about her exciting adventures in modeling on her blog: http://vivesomnium.blogspot.com

This look was inspired by the runway looks at THREEASFOUR...it is a beautiful "pointillism" design, which is basically lots of little dots. The pattern was inspired by paintings done by Yoko Ono, John Lennon's lady.
I wanted to use an amazing eye-tingling color...so I used all the green and yellow pigments I had just bought at the MAC pro store, right before I got there! I used Chartreuse, True Chartreuse, Kelly Green, and Rockit Yellow...I did under the eyes in Full Force Violet.
The Violet had enough red pigment that it makes the green pop, green and red being complimentary colorsand all....so purple got pop green like crazy too, it's a secondary complimentary color.
this is where we did the make-up, on the street level gallery space, where me and Saori's friend, just did an art show the day before...we got to use these awesome lights (much better than the "spectacular" lighting in my bathroom! ha ha ha ha)

other make-up I used:

on her face:
I used DINAIR airbrush make-up for foundation, even though I just applied it with my fingers..
I LOVE DINAIR's foundation (i wear it everyday....and it looks so, SO flawless...I used GOLDEN OLIVE foundation...click on the image to order (tell em kandee sent ya')




Next I used Urban Decay eye primer, pale yellow eye pencil from the mac pro store (or you could use white) I used MAC liquid liner in BOOT BLACK, and RUNWAY FAVE (a grey-ish nude) lipgloss from MAC

Saori and me, decided this was going to be our New Year's look! Thank you so much Saori for letting me put make-up on your dollface!
enjoy the video....!!!! and happy almost christmas!!!! xoxo kandee kane
