THE SECRET ABOUT THE WIGS

Sshhh! Some of you may be wondering where I bought all those wigs for the 3 makeup spreads I did last week.

Well, I’m about to tell you my secret ;)

Basically, I used the same pink wig from So Pretty in Pink makeup spread for The Summer Doll makeup spread. And using some magic with Photoshop, I was able to change the color of the wig from pink to orange!

TA-DAHHH!

When, in actual fact, the wig is still pretty pink!

And this is JERA without the wig!

Impressive right? Ha, never underestimate the power of Photoshop :D And yes, it’s the same thing I wore for A Diva of Blues makeup spread:D

MAGIC, MAGIC!!!

Honestly, I’m not an expert in Photoshop – I’m still learning – but I try my best :) Don’t be upset if you got fooled into thinking I had bought 3 different colored wigs… Just take it as a belated April’s Fool joke! ;)

Love,
JERA

FALL FROM INNOCENCE: A DIVA OF BLUES

“FALL FROM INNOCENCE…“
by Decadence in a Box

Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful. ~ Mark Victor Hansen

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. ~ George Bernard Shaw

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. ~ Benjamin Spock

Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different. ~ Stacey Charter

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. ~ Brian Tracy

Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. ~ Malcolm S. Forbes

Most people with low self-esteem have earned it. ~ George Carlin

Summer set lip to earth’s bosom bare,
And left the flushed print in a poppy there.
~Francis Thompson

Oh, the summer night
Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne.
~Barry Cornwall

There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.
~Celia Thaxter

The summer night is like a perfection of thought.

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.
~Sam Keen

Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!”
~Robin Williams

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I’d see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.
~Robert Bridges

I am just through with a summer, and a summer is to me always a trying ordeal.
~Maria Mitchell

A life without love is like a year without summer.
~Swedish Proverb

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.
~Russel Baker

Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer.
~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.
~Proverb

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.
~Virgil A. Kraft

Where man sees but withered leaves,
God sees sweet flowers growing.
