Welcome to the Fire Place!

Welcome!

If you have ventured into this section of my blog my wish is that you enjoy your stay and leave thoroughly inspired and encouraged. The  Fire Place is intended to be a place where everyone can be uplifted, to not only have that warmth through encouragement but to also keep that fire inside us burning bright! We have all struggled at one point in time and we can certainly learn from each others experiences. That is what community is all about. Please see my first entry in this video. It is of an experience I had that taught me some hard life lessons!

I hope you enjoyed. Feel free to comment or send experiences to deeblackett@gmail.com

If you want it to be anonymous state that in the message.

Glam Revolution: Master The Technique

Glam Revolution is a new wave of seminar and workshop series where people are taught how to not only apply makeup on themselves but also how to apply on others. These classes are not only designed to be fully engaging, but are also dynamic, fun and most importantly educational. It is the brain child of myself and Shaniqua Trotman. Ok ok let's rewind......

Two makeup artist friends, eternally obsessed with makeup and their craft sat and chatted over lunch. Musing over our past collaborations, how much fun we have and how well we work together. It naturally brought us to the question; "What's next"? 

That 'What's next?' is what Glam Revolution sprang from. We both decided classes and workshops are so necessary, and this is an area in which we could excel in. Why come to a Glam Revolution class? One word. "MORE". Our attendees have the opportunity to not only view the techniques of two artists, but we are two artists with different techniques. Students get to take the best from each teacher and fuse them together into a technique or approach to makeup that works best for them. 

"MORE" also includes the fact that we go hard. Our classes accommodate students of all skill levels, we ensure everyone is involved and given the needed attention. Last but not least; GIVEAWAYS! Everyone loves them! We had proud sponsors like Black Opal Beauty, Essential Trends and Beyond Beauty. Students also took advantage of shopping after class for high quality cosmetics at exclusive class prices!

Here are some photos from our first seminar in this series!
