From This To That: Mikado Made-Up
It takes a lot to look beautiful – especially for the stage. I took some extra pictures in the dressing room today to share the full experience of what it’s like to get ready for a professional show. Even as a chorus member, you still need full makeup! First, you need to get your hair…

In order to persuade Mother Nature to let it be summer, I decided to make an offering. Something springy, earthy, and yes, orange. I’ve had this pair of orange flip-flops for over three years, and have yet to wear them more than twice in that time period. To make them a bit more “special”, I…

I love being a girly-girl. Hence why I was a little jealous when Alex got all dressed up for prom. Today marks the final Moraca-kid prom! Makeup done by yours-truly. Enjoy!

As a teacher, I always reflect on my own experiences when trying to deal with behavior, both good and bad. My friend Anna and her husband Michael were over for corned beef on Wednesday, and she explained how her 1st graders were excited to “catch” the leprechaun, and how they set a trap for him.…

For years I was against Forever 21, and for good reason. I had the hardest time finding things that fit, and I was never impressed with the whole hooch factor they seemed to emit for young girls (I don’t believe in junior high clevage or skirts a foot above the knee). But lately in new…

We all know what snow is. That natural phenomenon where tiny flecks of ice fall from the sky and coat everything in a lovely white blanket of glittery crunchiness. Well, being a girl from the Central Valley, this was something I often heard of, and got to see every few years. So, it wasn’t an every year…

There are two things that really have been inspiring me lately: making cards, and for the first time, beauty products. It has taken me 25 years to truely accept my inner femenine touch, and feel good about myself and how I look. I’ve worn makeup more consistently this last year than I ever have in…
