I love my customized shoe rack that Tricky and his brother Mikey helped me make. Living in New York, apartments are known for being small and not having enough closet space. So you really have to be crafty on your storage space. You have to utilize wall space and build up. Generally, people would put them in the closet: on the floor beneath the clothes or top shelf. Or sometimes even invest in furniture, cubby holes, etc to store shoes which just takes up valuable floor space. Either case, shoes take up so much space! I love my shoes, but hate how cumbersome it can be when I don't have enough space for them. It was a love hate relationship that I have had with them for quite a while...up until now. 

Tricky picked up some wood from Home Depot, took some measurements based on the width and height of our bedroom wall. 

Mikey cutting the wood based off Tricky's measurements.

 Painted the wood with some leftover paint that we already had. 

After a few nails and screws in the wall...VOILA! 

I went to EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) with my friends held here in New York. An experience that I'll never forget. A weekend full of music and love. Take a look of the video that I edited below to get a glimpse of how much fun it is. If you've never been to EDC before, be sure to go next time it's in your area. You'll have a blast! 

I did a recent blog post of some pictures from my experience working at IMATS with Jordan Liberty, creator for Give Good Face. If you missed that post, you can catch up on it here. I finally finished editing the video of my time working at IMATS, check it out below.  

It was such a pleasure working with Jordan who I've been an avid admirer of his work since way before he joined the YouTube community. 

 I first discovered Jordan on Model Mayhem years ago when he answered questions on the forum to eager makeup artists who had questions such as "what are the best products to use for a glossy eye for photo shoots." He was really good at responding back to these questions...however, it just made much more sense to just make a tutorial video which can be re-watched over and over again. Thus, the Give Good Face YouTube Channel was born and Thanks God for that! I actually used some of his techniques for my photo shoots and thanks to his advice, some of my work ended up making the front cover of a magazine and centerfold. (see pictures) It was so awesome walking into almost every store such as Barnes and Nobles and seeing my magazine. Thank you Jordan! =)
