Ways to Clean Your Make Up Brushes Using Household Items

So today I decided to clean my Make-Up brushes by using a different method. I normally clean my brushes using extra virgin olive oil and Dawn's antibacterial dish soap! Thanks to Lingywashere I discovered a new way that might be even cheaper. All you need is rubbing alcohol and Pears Transparent soap from the dollar store (or any soap for that matter). I love this method as well! My thoughts extra virgin olive oil method and Dish soap is a great way to clean, disinfected, and condition your brushes. The Soap and alcohol is a GREAT way to also clean and disinfect your brushes.  I like that with the soap method you can hold the soap in your hand and massage the brush on the soap until it's clean.  Either way these are GREAT and Cheap ways to clean your makeup brushes using household items. Let me know which method works for you and check out a video below using the soap method!

Queen Of Hearts Costume DIY


I haven't celebrated Halloween in YEARS but this year I went to support my BBD fam Ron DeVoe and his Monsters Ball Party at Frank Ski's. It was GREAT I almost forgot how much fun Halloween could be as an adult. That was also my first time at Frank Ski's even though I've heard great things about it and I will be going back! The energy was great and their were lots of creative costumes. I chose to be the queen of hearts and I made my costume myself thanks to Pinterest and some if my own creative touches...GO ME! I'm glad I was able to attend and I look forward to next year and you should too! Check out pics below and where I got my inspiration from.

CAKES NEW DANCE VIDEO UP & BE SHAMELESS REVELATION!


So I've neglected my own youtube channel to go harder with my kids dance program channel Project SLIDE but I finally got around to posting a video yay me..lol. I'm pushing myself as an entrepreneur to go harder with Being Shameless and promoting myself thanks to a youtuber named Shameless Maya. Check out her youtube channel she has done A LOT in a year by simply shamelessly promoting herself. When I first started my company in error, I use to push my company harder than myself I recently realize through my studies that it is important to promote yourself first. There is more security in YOU so promote yourself first that is my tip for the month. So with that being said here is my latest video and be sure to check out my website www.iamcakes.com More videos and shameless promotion coming soon. Thanks for all the support and stay inspired.

Moving Forward! Thank You Solange!

So everyone that really knows me knows that besides being super silly I LOVE GOOD CLASSY entertainment. I long for the day when music and true showmanship are at the forefront. Music, Live Performances, Sitcoms, Movies, etc are just NOT what they use to be and at times I feel like we are going backwards! :( Anyway without going on a tangent I just have to give props to Solange Knowles for her new song "Losing You" and video. Everything about this was just RIGHT! Thank YOU SOLANGE! Oh and her performance on Jimmy Fallon was just brilliant. Check it out! Very simple, effective, and cohesive.  It simply looks like she just put some thought into every aspect and made all the right choices. Thank You! No one seems to do that anymore! Anyway check it out and let's just continue to MOVE FORWARD! Solange Performing Losing You on Jimmy Fallon!
