Long time no see....

Admittedly I hate it when Bloggers apologize for not writing for a couple of days however since I have been MIA for about 2 weeks, I thought that it was necessary here. Sorry. There done, now get over it and listen up! Here's the deal, I have A LOT to talk about with very minimal time to do so. I also am planning huge renovations and updates and new segments in the next up coming weeks despite the fact that I am leaving to go to the snow in about four days! AHHHHHH Hectic. I know!!!

So what you can expect for the next few days is:

Posts 2-3 times a day
Major updates to side bars and other things and;
Lots and lots of scheduled posts for the week I am away.

Sound good? Cause it will be dammit!!

Love Always xoxo
S.A.A.

P.s. God I have missed writing that!

HRTE After Hours and Still Playing !

We had a go at Loni's nails, hailed the princess of HRTE cincy this trip with Gina, Tammy, Joseph and me completing the entire set of peacock nails till 3am in between tears and laughter while she passed out and Gina had it on "candid camera" which of course will not be shown here...LOL....

High Road to Education HRTE

HRTE Cincinnati is a riot ! I touched down in Singapore today (Sun) at 1.15am from at 24-hour flight from Austin. Felt like I've just woken up from an amazing dream. 3 days in Cincy with the HRTE having the time of my life indulging in nothing else but nails with such talented and generous bunch of nail techs and 3 days of leisure in Austin, I'm finally back to reality more inspired and motivated than ever.

Tammy started a great thing here, it takes a lot to organize this, to bring educators and nail techs together for a class continuously, though she makes it seem so effortless. All the educators and assistants involved, Alice, Gina, Joseph, Loni, Rhonda, Diana, Amy, Cenita, Natalie are so passionate about what they do and always ready to share their skills and knowledge and helping others to succeed is remarkable. The spirit of the HRTE got me on my feet and wings to travel more than 20hours from Singapore to be a small part of this educational trip, I'm so happy I made it, thank you all. You guys have a great thing going and everyone deserves a chance to attend such a wonderful class, go for it !

I'm so happy to meet everyone in Cincy, some of you from the boards, tho I apologize for not being able to remember all your names. I can't thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to share some nail fun with you and hope I have opened your eyes to many possibilities in nail artistry.

Thank you and hope we will have another chance to play again....soon

Nail Artists at Work in Sydney

Check out Samantha's Geisha girl ! I'm so proud to see her finished work, I had such a great time working with the class. This is only the stepping stone and I'm sure we'll see more wonderful work from her! Thank you Samantha for sending me the image and I really hope to see the rest share with us here.

Sydney

I just had the most wonderful trip to Sydney, beautiful country, warm and friendly people and I had the pleasure of training a bunch of very talented nail techs who does awesome work. Viv Simmonds, my host held a competition class prior to the show and her team scooped an amazing 15 awards in total, one would expect nothing less when groomed by a national champion with more than 38 awards and counting...
