The day after the first day of school

 Hi there!

I wanted to wait til today because it was the first day of school to finish writing my newsletter, because I want to say this.

That first day of school is always bumpy.  I know what you're going to say.

"Megan, you don't have school-aged children.  You have no idea what this is like with distance learning and working at the same time."

I don't, but I feel you.  I feel you right here.  You're in my heart.

That's why I've put such a special newsletter together this month for you.  I have wonderful associates.  I love them!  They inspire me, and I inspire them.  

The Eyes Have It by Brandie Bates  Look gorgeous from the nose up!

Three Easy Ways to Get Your Home Ready for Fall by Shaun Leway  So easy!

An Easy Way to Keep Yourself - and Your Kids - Focused and Productive by James Scott  It's brilliant!

Vision by Cheryl Cage  Look at the Day!

Listen.  I know it isn't easy.  It isn't easy at all.  It's never easy.  But... it's worth it.  Five years from now, you'll look back at this time in your family's life, and you'll discover that when you went through the super-hard times, they really were the best times.  It was the times that helped you to grow and progress.  It was the times that you learned to lean on each other.  It was those times that got you where you are now (of which we're speaking of five years in the future).

Embrace this time.  Cherish your kids.  I know it's hard, and it's ok to feel that way.  

You're in my heart.

Bee in love with the heartwork of your life.

The Eyes Have It

 The Eyes Have It

Once upon a time, the lips were having a field day.  Everyone wanted to find ways to love their lips.

And then COVID-19 happened, and masks became the style.

The lips were hidden.

Now, all the attention is back on the eyes.  Let’s talk about Mary Kay’s Liquid Eyeliner Pen.

First of all, I hate mess, especially messy eyeliner.  I also hate not being able to control my makeup, so it does what I want it to do.  Finally, I hate wearing masks… but that’s for another conversation.

Eyelashes are fantastic, and I love wearing fake ones.  I also love our different mascaras; they are able to build lashes from the bare minimum, like what I have.

There’s something really wonderful about a great liquid eyeliner, though. 

What we have is so easy to use, even Megan can use it, and she’s extremely near sighted!  It’s so easy to apply with its pen-like tip for ultimate control.  Those cat eye swoops have never been easier.

The color is a rich, dark black that doesn’t flake off.  The high-definition formula stays on all day.  Best yet, it’s waterproof, so go ahead and cry when your kids go back to school. The waterproof formula is perfect for drama-free wear.

Now that we’re wearing masks, making your eyes as expressive as possible is so important.  Wearing our waterproof eyeliner is a sure way to express yourself.

I recommend as companions to the purchase of our Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, is our Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, and our Lash Love Waterproof Mascara.

Until next time,

Brandie Bates

August 2020 Newsletter

2020

It certainly is turning out to be a "year", isn't it?  Between COVID-19, murder hornets, masks becoming a new fashion icon, and now "online school at home", everyone's styles are cramping. 

 

Being together at home a lot can be stressful.
Trying to balance working from home, keeping the kids going with schoolwork, and being the best parent you can be, can be super stressful.

Here at Honey Bee Photography, we are striving to bring you the very best value, whether it's in prepping for your photography experience, content on our blog and newsletters, or creating your artwork for you.  That's why I've partnered up with local experts whom I trust to share how to make things easier for you as a family, a business owner, or just for yourself.

That whole "yourself" thing.  It's easy to forget about yourself, when you are in the midst of figuring out what's awesome for everyone else in your family and business.  Staying focused, happy, and productive often take a back seat when you're concentrating on worrisome ideas.

This month, I'm introducing Brandie Bates with Mary Kay, Cheryl Cage with MyCore, and James Scott, director at Chesapeake Bay Hypnosis.  They have products, knowledge, and solutions to help with your everyday "new normal".  Please check out their articles by clicking on their names.
