Good Morning! ❤️

Off to The Bagel Store we go! Gotta get a rainbow bagel for pitchas. 📷 Then Gen Beauty for the last day. 🎉 I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Explosion in Chelsea

What is going on in this world. Crazy things everywhere. My heart is with all those who are injured and affected by this. Fortunately, Alina and I are not near there and we are okay. I just wanted to let you all know. 💗

Live Chat!

On Facebook at 7:15. Just wanna give you a bit of a heads up. Then a private one for the $10+ tiers on Periscope at 8 PM PST. 😁

Periscope at 8 PM EST

Just wanna chit chat with you all! I'll also be doing a public one in about 10 min on Fb. 😁

Day 1 at Gen Beauty

Hello, all my lovelies! Today was our first day at the conference and man, we got a ton of free stuff! I wasn't sure what to expect, so I was prepared for it to be lacking in some area. Much to my surprise, I think overall it was very well put together. Alina already has some great connections with a few brands so we mingled with them and made some new contacts as well. Our first stop was Too Faced. We took over their Snapchat to do a tour of the booth and show people what was going on. It's aw...

First Day in NYC

On 2 hours of sleep, I made it alive and well to NYC! Although we spent half our day in an Uber, we're in good spirits. I'm so happy to be hanging out with Alina this weekend!

Tomorrow is the first official day of Gen Beauty. I have no idea what to expect other than what Alina told me about last year's event in LA. Things are always different in when the locations change, but I'm hoping to at least make some sweet connections in the beauty community. And get lots ...

All The Feels

Thank you to everyone who joined the chat this evening. I literally have never done this whole emotional thing live before. In fact, I tend to be pretty emotionless in most scenarios as a "tough girl" does. JD is pretty much the only person who sees me in my softer moments, so it was nice to share that with you all. The support all of you give is overwhelming at times and certainly outweighs all the negativity. Funny how that one bad comment gets us down when there's a hundred nice ones.  2016-09-16 08:21:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Very Special Periscope at 8 PM PST for ALL PATRONS

While I try hard to keep things positive, life can't always be rainbows and butterflies. There have been a few things that have come up lately that I have been trying to keep from addressing, but today was my tipping point. JD and I have decided to do a special chat with patrons only to discuss some of these things and seek your input. Normally Periscopes are for the $10+ tiers only, but I'm going to open this one up to $2+. If you are in the $2 tier, please comment or message me your handle for...

TIFF Events - Producer's Ball and Artists for Peace and Justice

I was hoping to get a few more vlogs in for you all at each of the events, but I felt a bit awkward at times pulling out my phone to record when no one else is doing it. lol. It's a new environment for me to be around so many celebrities! @.@

I'll have another vlog up later today to talk more about the events and update you on things!

XooxoxxxoxOOxo,

Annalee

Winners Announced!

Congratulations, Trev August and Sonja Smit!!!

$2/$10 tiers: Trev, you're getting either a poster, prints, polaroids, calendar, or something along those lines. I haven't decided yet. lol. ;)

$25 tier: OMG, SONJA!!!! 3 times now! Madness. Just plain madness. I am finding this hilarious. I have lots of goodies that will be perfect for you. :D

Update: Chat at 4:40 PM EST

We gotta run an errand before heading to the airport, so I'm moving it up 20 min to give us time. :) 

Drawings in 5 on Periscope!

I was going to make a video, but decided if try the live drawing again instead. 😁 I'll be on Periscope in 5 minutes for all who want to see. It will be public so anyone can watch. 😁

TIFF Wrap-up and Live Chat

Last night was the end of TIFF events for us and we'll be heading home this evening. It was a fun weekend, but I had no idea just how exhausting it was going to be running from party to party. Next year will involve more comfortable shoes and extra sleep the days before! Lol. I'm going to do a live chat this afternoon at 5 PM EST over health and fitness. If you are a new patron to the $10+ tiers send me your Periscope handle by commenting here or sending me a message so you can join in the c...

Latex Love

Had a really fun shoot with Holly Harlot today. I met her in Vegas in the spring, so we connected again here in Toronto. She set up the shoot with an amazing photographer, Plastic Canon, and got latex from House of Etiquette. The lighting setup was incredible, Holly is an amazing model, and the photos look so rad! I can't wait to share them with you all. 😁 Now we're off to yet another event for TIFF. I'll try to get some photos for you all. Oh, and I do have a vlog coming soon for you! ❤�...

Calendar Planning!

For anyone who has missed the memo, I have decided to go ahead and move forward with shooting a calendar for 2017. MGW Photography (who took this photo) offered to shoot it for free, so it's saving me a ton of money on that end of things. I very much like to keep my calendars full of new photos, but was concerned about the amount of time it was going to take to shoot all that. Mike (MGW) and I came up with a solution. He'll fly into Vegas for 2 days and I'll book a few locations to get everyth...

Finally found a dress!

It only took me 5 hours today... 😳 Buuuut, I got the shoes and dress at one place and both were on clearance PLUS extra 50% off! Can't beat that. 😬 We're on our way to Producer's Ball right meow. I'm esssited!

The Next Chapter

Off to Toronto I go! On 3 hours of sleep. 😳 Leaving New Orleans is bittersweet. While I am excited about all the upcoming events, I am sad to be leaving all the rad people with whom I have been working the last few weeks. Tomorrow night is the Producer's Ball, so I'll be going shopping for a dress as soon as I land. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right?! This week should be a great one for networking from what I've heard. These will be the biggest celeb events I've attended ...

My favorite set from the day I shot in what is probably the most amazing house I have ever been in!

In 10 minutes, I'll be doing a live chat on Periscope for the $25+ tier. Got a few updates on upcoming events and projects. And I just wanna chat with you. See ya there! 😁

Flood Recovery in Baton Rouge

Today has been a long, emotional day. We went down to Baton Rouge to help out with some flood recovery with Sarah from SBP, who is working with us on the house for Brothers Take New Orleans. I filmed JD and Sarah doing some demo work in a couple houses, then we filmed some information videos on how to properly and safely begin a demo for water damage and mold. These tips are things everyone should know, just in case of a flood or water damage and I'm happy to have been a part of spreading the aw...

Creepy Tuesday

(Wednesday for most of you by now.) 

;)

We had such a great time exploring the creepy side of the city today. I can't wait to get the full blog and vlog all together for you guys once we wrap out of here. Lots of great content!

My New Orleans Life

Food, food, food, and food! I'm getting so sad that were leaving this place soon. I have had such an enjoyable experience here. Much of it is because of what the city has to offer, but the majority is because of the people. It's been wonderful to be able to work and play with the same people, as it's not often that works out. This last week here will not be taken for granted. I am going to enjoy it all as much as possible and get this New Orleans blog/review all set up. 😁

Liquid Meal!

I think a few of you have heard us mention Soylent by now, but I wanted to tell you about how amazing it is. Soylent is a full meal replacement, not just a protein shake or a sugar-laden excuse for nutrition. While I find it relatively high in carbs for my personal liking for a meal (37 grams, which actually isn't bad at all), I find it to be perfect to have half of one prior to cardio or a whole one prior to intense strength training. I'm sure you're curious about the most important part - flav...

Purple People Eater

Can you imagine if we actually still had cords on our phones? Yikes. How did we ever manage that?!

I'm Tweeking!

On good ideas for Patreon. Thank you so much for all of your input. I certainly have some much to think about and I am eeeesssiiiiiited! I also just got in 2-3 photo sets, so I'll have those up for the $10+ tiers in a few. I'm going to be at the coffee shop for a bit, so if you feel like messaging about anything, this is a great time to do so since I haz good wifi and can reply quicker. 😬

New YouTube Vid

This is what I have so far for my final edit of this review. Originally I had some music in the background, but I felt it was distracting. If you feel like I need to add it back, lemme know! I had to cut out quite a bit because it showed too much of our shooting location and ya know, we can't have people just coming by while shooting. 

I'm quite the perfectionist and have been putting off posting this because I wasn't happy with it, but I'm making myself do it because I'll get better the ...

Makeup Tips and Product Review

I have tried a few new products in the last couple weeks and really liked them, so I wanted to share them with you. 

The lash stacking is something I have been doing for a while and I love it! I think it makes it much more comfortable when you stack two flexible bands rather than buying one pair of really thick  lashes with a stiff band. I forgot to mention that you should also be sure to trim your lashes to fit your eyes. You can do this before or after stacking them. :)

Ch-ch-ch-changes!

The time has come to change up Patreon a bit. All in good ways! I want this to continually get better for all of us. Let me know all your thoughts and ideas for things I could do to help grow this little hoppin' community into something bigger and better. :)

Videos coming soooooonn!

Our wifi was supposed to be upgraded twice in the last week, but obviously has not been, so I'll be heading off to a coffee shop this afternoon to upload all these videos. It's rather frustrating because I filmed these intending to upload immediately and haven't been able to. But alas, they will be up today! One is an update on our shoot and another is a few makeup tips and product reviews. There will be a third that is going up on my YouTube channel after I get feedback from you to see if I...
