To Kandee Johnson


I first discovered Kandee's videos last year, like most of us did. She first intrigued me with her Marilyn Monroe pin up make up. I knew she was going to rise up high when she started doing her Halloween looks. She is truly talented.

I thought it was super cool when she mentioned me in one of her videos. I was like wow! How nice of her. Here is the video where she mentions my channel (ILoveGerardo):


One of her greatest talents, besides the obvious of hair and make up, is her ability to reach through your computer screen and steal your heart. She truly tries with everything she is, to make you have a great day. No matter what horrible things you've been through.

It's ironic that someone who spreads so much joy, would need us to return the favor.

I hope that every thing she is going through right now, gets taken care of and erased. I hate seeing people go through terrible things and then seeing them being judged.

We've all made mistakes in our lives. We've all been accused of something we didn't do. But the truth will set her free.

To Kandee: If you ever read this, there are a great bunch of us, who have never met you in person, but have grown fond of you through You Tube. Please keep your head up. This will pass.

Your happy and positive person has affected so many of us and because you exist, we smile.

Love,

Iris

Wigs!!!!

I am pretty excited. A company is going to send me some wigs to try out and show my viewers. You guys don't know how much I LOVE to mess around with wigs. It allows you to have a different style and not have to damage or commit to one look! I hope to have them this month and the video up this month too!

My white nails

Hi,


Look at this.


What in the world? My nails are white! They are like a blank canvas right now. I didn't even have time to fix the edges :( As soon as they were close to drying, the baby woke up. I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


I messed some up and didn't get to do anything else to them. But I kinda like them. It's weird.


They kinda remind me of mint gum for some reason, you know the ones that are hard.

The funniest part, about this picture, is the fact that I am not holding anything in my hand, so it makes it look like I'm all :"arrrghhhhh!"<--- monster growl.
Ok gotta go!
Bye!

My make up on New Year's Eve

Hi You!

I really don't know why the pictures look like this, but I noticed that if you click on them, it will take you to the original picture. Any tips on how to do this better next time, from you professional bloggers, is appreciated.

Ok so my New Year's Eve was at my inlaws house. Grandma has a room especially for her grandkids. Isn't that nice? Anyway, here I am in that room LOL!

I'm all dressed up, my make up done! Got my top at TJ Maxx- Love that store. My make up is the 2nd look from this video




Hubby and I


My makeup



Happy 2010!

What's been going on with Iris

Hi,

I think you may like to hear about what is going on in my life. As you may or may not know, I am a mom. It takes a lot to be a good mom, a good wife, a good employee, a good housekeeper, a good cook, a good YouTube video maker, a good dog mom and a good friend.

When you juggle this much, some things get dropped.

But for the most part, I try to keep everything afloat.

The holidays have been great to me. I love everything that came with it. My husband bought me a lot of cool things this year for my videos! Isn't he great? You will always hear me boast about him, hence my screen name.

He bought me 2 coastal scents shadow palettes: 1 regular and one shimmer, I also love to continue to use the Personi. You will see me make a lot of videos with that palette.

He bought me a set of mac brushes and a Stila blending brush.

I got some ankle weights for my walks with baby and dog (which I LOVE and wanted!)

We spent the evening at my in laws. Hubby's brother and his family came over. It's always nice to spend time with them.

I ate so much though! I ate about 5 tamales that night. I know I gained some weight LOL! But I have been working out. Why just the other day, I went to the gym and burned a lot. I am still sore and it's been 3 days since that hard workout. I also went yesterday. I plan on going today.

I always have these ideas for making videos. But the problem is, it takes me about 1 hour to get things ready: set up, lighting, makeup, tools etc. About 40 minutes to shoot because I have to stop and start, stop and start to get the right angles etc. And then about 1-2 hours to edit a video! With a baby, that's tough to do all at once. I do it in spurts. As you can imagine, I don't get to do all of the ideas I have in my head.

Perhaps when our baby gets older? I don't know.


What I am looking forward to in 2010? To be better at everything I do.

For now, I want to thank all of you who have stuck around in 2009, watching my videos. Thank you for following my blog. I wish more of you who read this, would comment and not just move on. It's nice to see that people actually read what I write. It motivates me to come back and write more.

Hope you are doing well and best wishes for you and yours!

Love,

Iris

Where I get my hair cut and styled

Click on the pictures to zoom in, if you want to :)



Recently, I went to get my haircut at this salon. The last time I got it cut was in this video. The person who cuts my hair in the video, is not the same one I went to this time.

I try to get my hair cut every 6 weeks, but being a new mom, it's been tough to be constant.

It was wonderful. I totally loved how my hair came out. My hair feels so light :) My stylist's blow drying skills are amazing. I wish I had her to do my hair every day :)


Anyway, if you are in the Southern Cali area, and need a new do, give her a call.

Ask for Mary. Tell her Iris on You Tube sent you.

What I do

I make hair tutorials on YouTube. But I created this blog to connect with my fellow writers/bloggers. I've also created a myspace account, but I don't like the format for blogging. I'd rather blog here. As far as something to note about me: I rarely have will power when it comes to dieting. I'd rather eat what I want, but in moderation. I like girly stuff, but I don't like doing my own hair. I rarely do my own hair, so if you saw me in the street, you'd probably not recognize me. But if you ever saw me, I would love it if you came to say hi. Thanks for reading my blogs.
