I’ll Be on Colorado’s Best on Channel 2 in Denver Tomorrow!

Posted on

I brought 5 skin changing miracle workers to the set of Colorado’s Best today for my segment airing tomorrow about getting better skin for the holidays – you know, so your friends and family who see you once a year think your skin is always glowing and perfect. In the bunch you’ll find a yummy scented peel, a firming mask, a moisturizer that’s sort of iconic, vitamin c patches for the eyes, and an at-home peel system. It was a literal round up of what I had around that house that I know to work well and deliver on big promises.

If you’re in Denver tune in Thursday November 17th (tomorrow) at Noon for Colorado’s Best or you can watch the video after it airs HERE.


What I see: a glimpse of the studio from my point of view right before I go on.

Wish Upon a Wedding (and me) on Fox 31 Denver

Posted on

Last week I talked about Wish Upon a Wedding, the charitable organization (of which I am a part) that gives dream weddings to deserving couples who are fighting illness or are up against something monumental where it just isn’t possible for them to plan and execute a wedding on their own.

Here is a clip from Fox 31 Denver of the wedding, the couple, and myself applying the bride’s makeup. I wish they would’ve circled back with a close-up of her once the makeup was finished because her eyes were pretty fantastic. I only had time to prime her eyes and lay down a base shadow, so we weren’t even close to finishing up. Can you tell I feel weird about her un-finished makeup being shown so closeup on TV?

Anyhoo- enjoy the vid and best wishes to Dominique and Myles! Thank you for letting me be a part of such a special day.
