PS — Coming up tomorrow, I am excited to show you my Stenciled Faux Roman Shades I made in my kitchen 🙂
And join me in the International Delight Coffee Talk community tonight at 9 pm Eastern — we will be talking about Beauty Tips and Secrets. I am so excited about this chat!!
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that tonight is the premiere of a really awesome show: Design Star!!I am am HGTV addict and this is my favorite one.
Design Star combines reality tv with decorating — and the winner gets their own TV show.
How cool is that???
Another reason I love it so much is the guest judges. First of all, Candice Olson — I adore her style. Every single room she designs is beautiful. I think I have seen every episode of Divine Design there is. And then Vern Yip and Genevieve Gorder. Can I just say I might have been the BIGGEST Trading Spaces fan around. I loved that show!! They both have amazing style too.
I mean look at these spaces — gorgeous!
And the contestants this season look really interesting. There are people from all sorts of creative careers and different styles.
Plus the Season One winner David Bromstad will join in as the contestant’s mentor — He is so creative and I love his energy!
I will be tuning in with a big bowl of popcorn tonight to catch the first episode.
And if you miss any of the episodes you can catch up on the HGTV website.
Disclosure: This post is part of a sponsored campaign by Crafterminds and HGTV Design Star. My opinions are 100% my own.

Have a Happy Day!!
PS — Our kitchen remodel is coming along. We have no cabinet doors, but we should have them put back on this week. I am working on ideas for curtains. Let me know if you have any. I am thinking about making some like this —
My friend told me about Luminess and I knew I had to try it out! So I contacted Luminess and they sent me one to review. And, they also said if I liked it they would give one away to a Tatertots and Jello reader!
This is the type of system that makeup professionals use!
The air that is brought through the system distributes makeup into a superfine mist that goes on evenly and looks so smooth and natural!! I have always had problems wearing foundation because it seemed to just sit on top of my skin. So I was so excited to try out this system and see if it solved my foundation problem.
When the box came I felt like it was Christmas morning!
I had to open it and try it out right away!! I thought it might be hard to figure out and take a lot of practice, but it really wasn’t. And it also came with a great instruction book and an awesome instructional DVD.
The only thing I did was I applied too much blush. And after I talked to Emily at Luminess, she gave me the tip of applying the blush first and then the makeup. That way the blush kind of glows out from under the foundation.
This is how it works:
The Luminess system comes with an air compressor that forces air through a tube into an applicator. There is a funnel in the applicator and you add your makeup into that funnel. Then when you press the lever, the makeup is distributed into the air that is coming through the applicator and it comes out in a super fine mist. I also love that this Pro system’s compressor has three different settings. So you can decide what level you want the air to come out. I prefer the lowest setting.
With with the Luminess system, I don’t have to use powder. The mist dries in a matte finish that’s so pretty! The kit also came with a really beautiful shimmery bronzer. Just a drop or two in the applicator, and it made me look like I had spent the afternoon in the sun.
And, in addition to foundation, eye shadow and blush, you can use the system to apply self tanner.
So cool!!
There are also Luminess eyeshadow kits in all sorts of beautiful shades!
And Luminess is giving away an eye shadow kit in addition to the Pro System!!
Yay!!
It may seem like this is complicated and time consuming, but it actually saves me time. I can put my makeup and blush on in just a couple minutes. And I was also really happy with how easy it is to clean. All I had to do was add a few drops of water into the applicator, and the water goes through the stylus and cleans it out.
I also LOVE the pretty silver pouch that comes with the system. It’s so cute! And such a great way to store the system — so handy when I travel!
{I made a vlog of myself demonstrating the system, but I am having technical difficulties with it, so I will get it up here as soon as I can!!}
Here’s what Luminess is giving away:
Compressor with stylus, made of plastic and metal. Compressor

I know I’ve said it before, but I really want to share some of my favorite things in my giveaways this year. And I’m so excited to tell you about another one of my favorite things — the Lightscoop.
I love my digital camera. And I am still learning all of the ins and outs of taking a great picture. One thing I have learned is natural light is a must for a good picture.
But what happens when something wonderful happens after the sun goes down??
You either have to use a very low shutter speed and hope for the best, find some sort of expensive studio lighting or use the dreaded flash!!
But I recently found a fabulous solution that I just had to share with you — theLightscoop!!
It slides easily over your camera’s hot shoe and redirects your pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall.
Look at the difference:
Without Flash, With Flash, With Lightscoop!
All of these pictures were taken at night…
Can you see how much warmer and more natural the light is on the picture on the right?
The Lightscoop takes the light from your flash and redirects it up to a ceiling or wall, and redirects it back to the subject, creating a softer, more natural picture.
And it’s only $29.95!!
And…Lightscoop is giving away a standard Lightscoop to a Tatertots and Jello reader!!
Here’s how YOU can win:
required: Visit Lightscoop and tell me how owning a Lightscoop would improve your photography. one entry.
