With a 4am call time, no sleep the night before and adrenaline pumping through your veins as you walk up to the tents at Lincoln Center...One can only wonder what the rest of the morning will be like?!

Defend against Puffiness and Dark Circles

Im sure we all have had one of those mornings when we wake up and wonder what happened to our eyes!

Dark circles, puffiness...What do you use to help target and diminish those problem areas?

Being on camera several times, in photos & working with Talent who need that fix to de-puff and brighten..I always turn to

L'Oreal Paris Eye Defense

Infused with Caffeine to re-energize the eye area. Liposomes to deliver hydration & Light reflecting pearls to brighten

Eye Defense is my go to Eye Cream on Set at ESPN, on set with L'Oreal Paris and anywhere a Puffy eye may appear!

In Atlanta with Oprah!

L'Oreal Paris Pro Team Takes on Atlanta!!!

When L'Oreal calls and ask you to be in 

Hotlanta for Oprah O You 

event you dont say no!!

This was my 9th time on a plane this year...But for me it's so Worth It to work with my Fellow Pro Team Members & EXCUSE ME its OPRAH!!!

First Stop off the plane was to check in at The Marriott in Buckhead to freshen up & give a little belated B-Day gift to my Bestie & Celebrity makeup Artist, Brandy Gomez-Duplessis...

Than is was off to the Convention Center to train the local Hotlanta Artists on the latest & greatest product we would be featuring at O You!

Now us Pro Team work really hard, but we love to play even harder!! You know its always an entertaining time when we get together....and Ladies...

TEYONCE always makes an appearance!

The next day was the O You kickoff! Thousands of women flooded in to see all the amazing writers that contribute to O Magazine and of course the O herself, OPRAH!

Brandy, Denise and I were in the greenroom all day working with such talent as Nate Berkus, Martha Beck, Dr. Oz...the list goes on!

And we even got a visit from Oprah herself...in a gorgeous fuscia dress and bare feet( apparently she doesnt like to wear heels unless shes on stage- go ahead girl!)

The most amazing moment was having the opportunity to watch Oprah speak on stage- tears came to my eyes when she spoke & the message was so powerful! She spoke about "knowing who you are" & no matter what the "service" is to remember to help others & in turn it will help you grow & become the person you are meant to be....Amen to that Preacher Oprah!

And of course TEYONCE has to have a photo shoot wherever she goes....
