This is the beginning of a wonderful autumn season. The time for pumpkin, layers, parties, and great red carpet events. The insight to this season best beauty tips brought to you by the top in their industry. The best time to shine and show your beauty.
Well, I want to first start with hair colors for fall, we are going to be seeing a lot of reds red browns, golden tones, bronde (A mix of brown and blonde highlights through brown hair). The latest trend of mushroom (ashier tones) highlighted hair should go into a rootier look with balayage vs foilyage technique.
On the red carpet, we are going to see big bouncy waves, the best way to get this look is the 1 1/4 “ curling iron by FHIheat. Center parts are back. Side parts too, use stylus hair care “stay put” To thicken up the hair. High Altitude by Stylus is great to use at the roots, or add a little “Toppik” hair fibers in your color.
The looks on the red carpet will be a lot of hair down. And classic waves with center-parted hair, like Taraji P Henson And Kim K. It’s going to be a fantastic award season.

Gia Klime, Hollywood makeup artist, just finished makeup for the Emmys’® Red Carpet has the best tips for your upcoming season parties and red carpet events.
It’s all about the dewy skin on the red carpet. Mix 3 drops of a liquid highlighter into a white color, then into your foundation then use a dewy primer. Klime loves Clarins beauty balm flash, it tightens as it prepares for the makeup. It’s also very hydrating to apply primer first. Then mix the dewy drops into the foundation. Then use a dense brush and press into the skin all over do not use the brush, use circular motions, press, and pat. This way you get coverage without cake face.
It’s about the glow. Using a dewy setting spray. Klime loves NYX Professional Makeup Make Up Setting Spray Dewy Finish. Do this and you will look red carpet ready. Add the perfect red lip. My favorite Smashbox has the best universal red stays on all day. This never gets dry. And of course, lashes are a must.
Beauty Flash Balm Unisex Balm by Clarins is a fabulous primer. It is an excellent anti-aging and lifting a balm that brightens, tightens and eliminates signs of fatigue in aflash, celebrities love this, and total glowing and dewy skin.

Hot girl/boy summer is long gone. The fall season is here and this is the best trend you will come across. Say hello to the start of living your best life.
When it comes to beauty, throw all the rules away. There’s no better time than now to live your best life. Your rules, your way, your colors. We are trained to follow new beauty trends season by season. What color is in? What formula should I try? This season, we challenge everyone to try the one trend fits all. Wear what you want, when you want. If you prefer smoky eyes, go for it. If a bold lip is your thing, wear it with pride. If a tinted moisturizer is your go-to, apply it and go! New beauty products are releasing all the time to keep up with the constantly changing trends so this season make your own and wear what you want, what makes you comfortable, and bring out your inner beauty!
Just because we said to fall out of the makeup trends this season, you should always maintain and protect your skin.
Make sure you’re applying your sunscreen daily. A favorite is the Supergoop Unseen SPF 40. The formula goes on clear so it’s great for all skin tones. It’s also lightweight so you can apply your moisturizer and makeup on top seamlessly. Buy it here https://amzn.to/33sMnyn
The best skincare in the world won’t suffice if you’re not applying it correctly. The PMD Pro is worth trying out. It’s a double-sided smart cleansing device that helps remove dirt and oil from within pores on one side while the other acts as an ActiveWarmth Facial Massage to help your skincare absorb deeper by using the SonicGlow technology and heat. The PMD cleans, lifts, firms, and tones your skin. Buy it here https://amzn.to/2B8yk5d
Try these products and trends out this season. You’ll be glad you did!
A great nail addition for having on hand or change from the toxic salon set of nails is Color Street. These are so fun and they are fabulous. I wore mine for over two weeks. You can get up to twenty nails done for each package. It is a great deal especially for little ones who want their nails done but cannot just sit still, exceptional for getting a rest from salon nails, gifts, or a night glam party. Gorgeous Ten by Jen has all the insight and specials for the upcoming glam season.
You are beautiful and bringing your beauty to each moment of life brightens your spirit and enlightens those around you. You are worth a few moments of self-care and reflection.

Entertaining is such always fun. There is no better time than the Emmys®. Celebrate your favorite actor/actress, streaming shows, and mini-series.
Create a great time that involves your senses. This will engage your guests. The food is one way to really bring this to light. You can create great courses that bring all five senses to the table (recipes at the end).
Decorating is always a lot of fun. The Governors Ball is using a rich palette of eggplant purple, magenta, coral, red, and Emmy gold! These are great colors for your invitations, table accents, and backdrops use scarfs or sheer fabrics.
Add fountains for just an added touch of sound. Crystals are a perfect addition to the table setting and capture the light from candles. Farmers’ Markets have beautiful flowers to use as a nice pop of color around the room. Add extra large pillows that can be used as sitting for the guest to sit while enjoying the show.
Have the evening be the formal attire. Then make a budget for the amount one can spend on the purchase of formal evening wear. Then have a golden trophy for the winner.
Gift bags for your guests as they leave is a nice surprise. You can include a personalized label bottle of wine (in Chandler AZ Down Time Wines creates personal labels), Fuji water, Lindt chocolates, and an Emmy® of their own.

KOBE BEEF MEATBALLS WITH ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE AND CREAMY BECHAMEL
Serves 16 2# Ground Kobe Beef 1# Ground Veal (can be substituted with ground pork as needed) 3 C Toasted Ciabatta bread 1 C Whole milk 2 T Ground Fennel Seed 2 T Ground Caraway Seed 2 T Garlic Powder 1 T Onion Powder ¼ C Salt ¼ C Chopped Parsley ¼ C Chopped Basil METHOD: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. With a knife, remove the crust of ciabatta bread and tear the remaining bread into small pieces. Drizzle the torn beard with olive oil and toast in oven until lightly golden brown. While the bread toasts, mix the ground beef, veal, and all the dry spices in a large bowl. When the bread is toasted and dry, remove from oven and allow to cool. Once the bread is cool enough to handle, crumble the bread into a separate bowl and cover with the whole milk; set aside until milk has been fully absorbed by the ciabatta. When the bread is fully hydrated, combine the bread mixture with the beef mixture, and add the fresh parsley and basil. Mix well by hand until fully incorporated. Form the mixture into 2oz balls and place onto a baking tray. Bake the meatballs in a hot oven until dark golden brown and fully caramelized, about 10 minutes. Once baked, immerse the meatballs into the tomato sauce completely and allow to simmer until fully cooked. Once cooked through the meatballs are ready to eat but can be left in the simmer sauce to be served later. Serve warm with an ample drizzle of the bechamel sauce. TOMATO SAUCE: ¼ C Extra Virgin olive oil 8 cloves Garlic, finely sliced for minced ½ EA White onion, finely diced ½ C Dry white wine 12 Leaves basil, chiffonade 1 can San Marzano tomatoes, crushed 1 t ground black Pepper 1 T Kosher salt ½ T Chili flake METHOD: In a heavy-bottomed cooking pot, warm olive oil over low heat. Once the oil is warm add the sliced garlic and diced onion and allow to cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to ensure the onion and garlic does not burn. When the onion and garlic are soft and fragrant, carefully add the white wine and reduce to ¼. After the wine is reduced add the remaining ingredients and allow to simmer, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened and smooth, approximately 1 hour. Keep the heat on low and allow the sauce to simmer slowly for best results. BECHAMEL: 1 C Dry white wine 4 EA Thyme sprigs 2 EA Bay leaves, fresh if available 4 EA Garlic cloves, crushed 1 EA Shallot, sliced 1 tsp black peppercorn ¼ C All-purpose flour ¼ C Unsalted butter ½ C Whole milk ½ C Heavy cream METHOD: In a heavy-bottomed saucepot place wine, thyme, bay leaves, garlic, shallot, and black peppercorns, and simmer on low. Reduce the mixture to ¼ of the original volume. Once reduced, strain the mixture and place the wine back into the cooking pot. Allow the wine to continue to reduce until almost evaporated. Roughly chop the butter and add to the wine. Keeping the heat on low, allow butter to fully melt and then whisk the flour into the butter and wine mixture to start the roux. Continue to whisk and cook the roux until the smell of raw flour is gone, approximately ten minutes. Combine the whole milk and heavy cream and slowly whisk into the roux watching for any lumps that may form. Allow to simmer for another 10 minutes, adding more milk if bechamel becomes too thick.
Main Course
PRIME BEEF TENDERLOIN
Serves 12 1 EA Prime beef tenderloin 2 oz Unsalted butter 6 EA Thyme sprigs 4 EA Garlic cloves Kosher salt Ground black pepper METHOD: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season beef tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides. Over medium-high heat in a cast-iron pan, sear beef tenderloin until golden and caramelized on all sides. Add butter, thyme and crushed garlic to the pan and baste the beef with the frothy melted butter. Once basted place in oven and cook until medium-rare, approximately 15 minutes. The internal temperature should be roughly 125 degrees if using a meat thermometer. Remove from oven and allow the beef to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
WHITE CHEDDAR POTATO GRATIN
4# Russet potato, peeled and finely sliced 6 EA Shallot, finely sliced 6 EA Garlic cloves, chopped 2 C Whole milk 4 C Heavy cream 2 T Kosher salt 2 T Thyme leaves, chopped 6 oz White cheddar, grated 4 oz Parmesan cheese, grated METHOD: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a heavy-bottomed pot, sweat garlic and shallots until soft and fragrant. Add cream, milk, salt, and thyme leaves and reduce by half. While the milk and cream mixture is reducing, peel and slice the potatoes as thinly as possible and cover in cold water to prevent browning. Prepare an 8×10 inch heavy-bottomed casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Arrange one layer of the sliced potatoes into the bottom of the casserole dish. Carefully cover the potatoes with the reduced cream. Sprinkle with the white cheddar and parmesan. Place the second layer of potatoes and again cover with cream mixture and grated cheeses. Continue this process the casserole dish is completely full. Add one final layer of the grated cheeses and cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil. Bake the gratin for 1 hour at 350 degrees, remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes to brown the top of the gratin. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Dessert
BUTTERSCOTCH BUDINO
Yield: 10 portions 1 cup Dark brown sugar ½ cup water 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3 cup heavy cream 1.5 cup whole milk 8 ea. large egg yolks 4 tablespoon cornstarch 4 tablespoon unsalted butter Method
Combine the brown sugar, water, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, place the pan on the stove over medium heat, cook until the caramel is dark, takes about 14 minutes.
Standing back with caution add the cream and milk to the caramel. This will make the mixture seize up at first, but if you keep whisking and let it heat back up, it will combine. Bring the mixture back to boil, then turn down the heat to medium.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch.
Temper the caramel mixture with eggs yolks and cornstarch by adding a cup caramel mix to the eggs mixture, whisking constantly, then pour the egg mixture back into the pan.
Increase the heat to bring this mixture to a boil and keep whisking as the custard thickens from the cornstarch, should take two minutes. 6 Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter.
Strain the custard through a fine strainer to remove any big lumps that might have formed and portion the custard into ramekins.
Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and chill the custard for a least 4 hours…it’s best when you make a day ahead
Combine Ketel One, Chamomile Lavender Syrup, Fresh Lemon Juice, and Cocchi Americano in a shaker.
Add ice and shake lightly. Over shaking will cause the drink to water down; do not over dilute, as we will be adding additional Soda Water.
Roll in Soda Water and strain over fresh ice into a glass.
Garnish with a manicured lemon twist and fresh lavender sprigs.
** Easy Chamomile-Lavender Syrup
Ingredients:
Strong Chamomile and Lavender Tea
Sugar
Instructions:
Brew 1 cup of strong chamomile and lavender tea; allow to steep for 20 minutes.
Remove tea bags or herbs.
Measure remaining amount of brewed tea, stir in an equal volume of sugar (I have reduced sugar without much change in taste) until dissolved.

Joe’s Cafe Breakfast
Orem Utah Reunion Breakfast
Meeting up with my dear friend Lisa Sherman is like we never missed even one day, even though it had been a few decades. Lisa and I have known each other since we were three. We ran the neighborhood streets as two determined little girls could. We enjoy breakfast at Joe’s Cafe. The food is so delish. Lisa even enjoyed the grits. A dish she is convinced she did not like. Joe said, “You will love them. Nothing comes between your lips and my grits.” It is so wonderful catching up with Lisa after all these years.
3 Sisters Cafe Breakfast
3 Sisters Cafe
The first food stop of the trip is 3 Sisters Cafe in Indianapolis, Indiana, in business for 20 years. They serve a large choice of elegant breakfasts from sweet to savory and great lunch menu as well.
They have great beverages (no alcohol) with flair. I enjoyed the turmeric and ginger iced tea. It is a great flavor not too sweet or sugary. The brunch is perfect a great hollandaise sauce over Scottish lox, poached eggs, fresh tomato, and locally made English muffins with caviar on top. The English muffin is fresh with a nice sourdough flavor. The hollandaise sauce is perfect with just a little heat. The porridge is a new experience. It is creamy with a hint of cinnamon.

The lunch/dinner menu is hearty with a ribeye sandwich, fries, soups, and steak. The food has that home cooked look and feel. They do have a few items for vegetarians including breakfast sausage. They do have one special treat “Courier water this is sparkling water from deep below the café. It is a great place for large parties and a sense of the community in Champaign.
Scone City
Scone City located in Wicker Park is wonderful for a morning after bar hopping or late night in Chicago. Jessica and Tim Canning along with chef Laurie McNamara took on the endeavor in a specialized sweet and savory scone menu. This place is a perfect stop as my sister Cherie is heading to the airport to return to her family in Idaho. It is so wonderful sharing this experience with here. Seeing places and enjoying the cross-country journey. I truly miss her every day. She enjoyed a sweet blueberry w/ lemon glaze scone she says, “It is delicious!! Sweet. Soft. Perfection!!! Soooo tasty.” They have savory scones as well. I enjoyed a hot Vanilla Bean Latte with the house-made vanilla syrup. It is a perfect start to a day of exploring Chicago..
Kanela Breakfast in Chicago
The last morning of the road trip in the Midwest is brunch at Kanela, the Greek name for Cinnamon. This restaurant place is Wicker Park neighborhood on a street with many older shops. It is a great place, voted best in Chicago by USA Today, for a Sunday morning brunch. The coffee tops and wonderful after an evening at Bangers and Lace.
Brunch includes California Benedict and Fried Egg Sandwich this is an exceptional meal. The hollandaise sauce perfection with a nice touch of heat, the poach egg picture perfect. The sandwich is fabulous with the chili aioli brings the flavors together. The seasoned potatoes nicely cooked not too soft or undercooked. It is a nice brunch with my sister. We do agree that this is a great place for brunch.
Milk Bar NYC
Milk Bar NYC
Super excited to try crack pie and coffee for breakfast. This is a planned find in NYC. Watching Chef’s Table on Netflix. I knew I needed to try Milk Bar. This is Christine Tosi’s and is part of the Manhattan-based Momofuku restaurant. This is my first stop in the morning. The little shop has great cookies, cakes, pies, and bagel bombs. I order an iced coffee, bagel bomb with spinach, and crack pie. The bagel bomb is warm and filled with spinach and cheese. It is a nice bite for the start of touring NYC. I save the crack pie for a little later, but it is delicious. The filling is something like a custard, but buttery. The oat crust is light and flaky. This is a must stop and see.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
(recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck)
Servings: Serves 4
Ingredients:
8 ounces elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons finely chopped black truffle (optional)
1/2 medium white onion
1 bay leaf
10 ounces sharp aged white Cheddar, shredded
3 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded
1 ounce freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
2 drops black winter truffle oil (optional)
1 cup fresh brioche or challah bread crumbs
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
Thinly sliced fresh black truffles, for garnish (optional)
Steps:
Step One: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add macaroni and cook until al dente, tender but still chewy, about 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to lightly oiled baking pan. Set aside.
Step Two: While macaroni cooks, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a separate pot over low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes.
Step Three: Add milk, chopped truffle, onion, and bay leaf to butter-flour mixture. Raise heat slightly and simmer for 10 minutes, until creamy, stirring regularly. Discard onion and bay leaf. Remove from heat.
Step Four: Stir in 3/4 of aged Cheddar along with other cheeses. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne, and truffle oil if desired. Fold in macaroni. Pour into 2-quart casserole. Top with remaining Cheddar.
Step Five: Melt remaining butter in sauté pan. Add breadcrumbs and parsley. Toss to coat. Spread crumb mixture evenly over top of macaroni.
Step Six: Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven let stand for about 5 minutes. Top with shaved truffle, if desired, before serving.
The Epliogue
A great drink to serve at your party is The Epilogue. The inspiration is like a great movie, a memorable cocktail menu should be multidimensional. The Epilogue is a blend of decidedly warmer, richer flavors, playing off of the carefully aged notes in Tequila Don Julio Reposado. Hints of coffee, baking spices, anise and mellow oak wrap draw you in. The perfect, broad-shouldered sipper that showcases the versatility of aged tequila.
THE EPILOGUE

Meeting Dustin Quick at LA Swim Week 2015 was a fabulous evening. Quick with her husband Medi eM performed the opening act. Quick continued the evening with a great runway showing.
Quick brings solid talent and exceptional beauty to her modeling, acting, and performing. She is always rising above to bring great entertainment to her audiences.

How did your life’s journey bring you to modeling, singing, acting, and performing?
“When I was five, my mother took me to see The King and I at the Omaha Community Playhouse, created by Marlon Brando‘s mother and the Fonda’s. Between the vivid, silk costumes and exotic makeup, my senses were piqued, so once I saw two children actors on stage, I quickly nudged my mom and whispered, ‘How did those kids get up there?’ She replied, ‘I think they had to audition’, so I asked her to take me to the next one which was for, ‘A Christmas Carol’. We showed up to a big room filled with pro-kids and stage moms who had recorded accompaniment or sheet music, we didn’t know to bring anything, so when it was my turn, I sang, ‘Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah’ a cappella with some moves on the fly, and they cast me as the new angel.”
As an entertainer and fashion model, what is one piece of insight would you share?
“Stay in school, #Instafame is fleeting, an education is an asset that you can trust in for life.”
You released a new music video. What can we expect with this song and video?
“Medi eM is a guitarist/composer, I write and sing the lyrics, and on this song, ‘Heartbeat‘ we both sing about what happened when we found each other. When two heart cells are near each other, they start synchronizing their beat, so Medi fused his flamenco and house music backgrounds to create a tribal rhythm that gets hips shaking, together. The video is a symbolic story of us, our love freed each other, and set our hearts on fire.”

What is the one thing you do each morning to start off your day?
“I open the curtains in front of our bed which looks out to our fruit trees, I’ve seen a mockingbird feed her babies (I call her Mama Rockingbird), put the tea on, and then curl up with Medi in bed, and we watch the political satire that aired the night before together. “
When was there a time when an event went from stress to best?
“Yes! I was asked to model the finale look for these gorgeous couture hats. The incredibly talented millinery (hat designer), Annette Higgins picked the perfect dresses to compliment her creations, and my gown was a gorgeous full, floor-length satin strapless number to match her biggest hat ever, in a luscious shape and classic red. The only problem is that my torso is just naturally built more narrow than most (designer Sue Wong affectionately says that I’m size, ‘sub-zero’), and as a result, strapless dresses end up becoming belts on me. Now, this show had grand steps coming down to the runway, so I’m backstage quietly trying to figure how I wasn’t going to face-plant for the grand finale. I tried puffing out my chest and then wrapped a padded bra around underneath to keep the dress up, and clinching the strap built inside the dress for support, all to no avail. This is when I start lamenting myself for not bringing my taller heels. I was freaking out internally because I didn’t know how I was going to be able to walk in the show without becoming a YouTube fail. So I prayed, and the inspiration came to me to draw from flamenco dancing and hold the dress up like a bullfighting femme fatal enticing her mark to tango with her. The crowd applauded, the designer loved it, and I got to feel like I was in a Fellini film.”
Working fashion shows what is a typical day start to finish?
“My call time is usually 4 hours before showtime, so that morning I eat, shower, pack my bag, do my nails, rush out the door and race to the runway Once hair and makeup is done, I get dressed carefully, line-up, wait (this industry is the genesis of the phrase, ‘fashionably late’), strut like I mean it, red carpet photos with the designer, and then find Medi!”
An image is an important addition to the rise in selfies what is one focus you think could improve a person’s image?
“I actually don’t care for basic solo selfies, but I know people take them sitting in their car because it’s good angle and lighting. However, unless it’s a dope car, or you just passed your driver’s license, it’s too common, so I would focus on replicating that angle and lighting that reveals more of the person’s imagination.”

You present a great cohesive style. How did you discover your personal style?
“Awe thank you, well I’ve been passionate about fashion since I was pre-school I only wanted to wear silk, satin nothing too cutesy like big buttons, denim or dresses without waistlines. Although I was otherwise a really good kid, honestly the only time I ever got upset was when my mother or sister had me wear something I didn’t like. One winter my mother had understandably forced jeans on me, I took them off in the car on the way to the sitter’s house, and ran out in the snow pant-less because I didn’t want to wear ‘boy clothes’. My mother is a traveler, so she took me with her to Spain when I was 6 and fell in love with a long Flamenco dress, I kindly pleaded for her to buy it, I wore that gown from when it was too long on me too when it became skirt length. Throughout school I was known for wearing unique outfits, from hats every day for a year (including a raspberry beret), lime green patent leather heels, to a long body-con velveteen leopard print Betsy Johnson dress (and years later I met her backstage right before I was going on the runway what a vibrant fabulous force she is!) I have since learned to appreciate denim, and have traded in the outrageous for more body-con and couture, but the passion is still there.”
What is one winter fashion/beauty tips you use?
“For winter fashion, accessories keep functional layers exciting, so Obelo Jewelry, Ronaldo Designer Jewelry, and Artizan by Robin Barre are my goto’s for interesting statement pieces. As for beauty, although I use Sunless Beauty Organic Spray Tanning and self-tanner throughout the year, in winter it’s obviously more essential I love that it’s organic and it smells like dessert. I’ve also fallen in love with TNT Agency for make-up, and I will be wearing all of them to award season and on New York Fashion Week runways in the new year.”
Quick will continue rising with appearances on red carpets, runways, and more during the upcoming year.
