A fresh Start!

I found this kinds of interesting since it really fits my life the past few months.
I got to meet these two wonderful, interesting, amazing people. SO down to earth, so caring, so loving and I am not just saying this. Alina walked in my store and HUGGED me and said welcome to our family. She didnt have on a suite, nothing fancy, just an every day casual dress. The passion they bring in the stores and how the products come to life are so amazing. Lev hand blends all our perfumes and can take up to 800 different tried....enjoy their store about fresh...:) Love!





A FRESH START
Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg bottle luxury


It all started with the perfect soap, or rather, a lack thereof. When Fresh creators Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg couldn't find sophisticated, sweet smelling bars to sell in their apothecary-style beauty shop in Boston, they recognized a major gap in the marketplace. There were two types of products: Those that looked and smelled pretty, and those that actually worked. But products that did both—and were naturally based, used the finest ingredients and had sophisticated packaging—were few and far between. By combining their creative energies, Glazman and Roytberg came up with Original Soaps, the first of many fantastic products from their new company, Fresh. When their first order sold out in two days, they realized that they were on to something.
Bar soap was just the beginning. As the brand expanded to include skincare, makeup, fragrance, home, hair, and body care, Fresh gained a reputation as a company that refused to compromise when it came to quality, effectiveness, and everything in between. Based on the philosophy that you shouldn't have to choose between products that look good and products that work well, Fresh became the brand that did both.



As time went on and the popularity of the brand increased, Lev and Alina continued to create products that were not only beautiful, but unique in every sense of the word. Innovations, like their groundbreaking Index Eau de Parfums, a collection of distinct fragrances which includes never before smelled combinations like Fig Apricot and Redcurrant Basil, and their exotic Rice Sake Bath and Sugar Bath Cubes (which triggered the fizzy bath craze) have, and continue to, put Fresh on the beauty map.
Products this fabulous can't live in run-of-the-mill packaging: From exquisitely wrapped soaps, to elegant glass bottles and gorgeous gift boxes, opening a Fresh product is like opening a present. With handmade Japanese and European papers and elegant wire ties, the details are so stunning, it breaks your heart to have to open them. But what's inside the museum-worthy packaging is totally worth the rip.

Whether you lather up with a shea butter-infused vegetable soap or sit by the flickering flame of a lead-free, grenadine-scented candle, just soaking up its incredible scent, Fresh's products have the power to tempt your senses on a number of different levels. Which is why everyone who tries it becomes an instant fan. From beauty editors to beauty addicts, one thing about this brand is constant: To know Fresh is to love Fresh.

I wanted to share some pigments I just used and thought I would review.
They are highly pigmented and smooth, easy to blend.
They have good size samples you can buy for about 10 uses before you buy a bigger.
If you like bright the skittle collection rocks. :)

My life as of June...

Hey guys!!

It has been a really long time since I have posted anything and I am so sorry. For those of you that do not know I left Lush and moved to a new and up coming company based out of Houston. I was super excited and very luck to have two assistant I have worked with before and knew. The bad news is that my health took a BIG toll the last few months and because of this I am not longer there.
Since then I have been doing a lot of soul searching, and focusing on my health, life and what really matters to me. I am no longer going to let people hurt me. Im excited about my new and future adventures.
Once being spending a week in L.A with some old friends that I have not seen in a long time...some over 11 years!!! Kristin who is a great friend from a far that I thank each day we meet at Carlton...we are so much a like in many ways. Angela who I meet last year at Lush who is such a rock star and is someone that works so hard and finally was given what was due! Jennifer who was a close friend back in 6 grade through high school and lived four houses down from me. She is now in films. :) Most of all I will miss not having MAY, GIGI, and TERESA in L.A. with me. These girls have been by my side for two years and so thankful for them....in time Gigi :)
I am so excited about what God and life has in store for me and know that my Angel Grace will take care of me.
I love you all gratefully!
Kat!

22 by lily allen

When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why

It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

She's got an alright job but it's not a career
Wherever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
Cause all she wants is a boyfriend
She gets one-night stands

She's thinking how did I get here
I'm doing all that I can

It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder

True Friends

Trust is essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Without them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away.

I have really found the real meaning of friendship the last few months. Nothing has been easy for me...life, love and work....but through it all I have my close friends I so deeply love and charish! You know who you are and I love you for that....here is something I found.
