The backstory on my makeup brushes and my clutch on Face the Wild!?!? Long story short I got picked up for my adventure 4 hours earlier than I had expected which gave me 15 min to get ready!! Yes I’m a “glamper” and I also love a good shower and some makeup and a blow out but I barely had time to even brush my teeth before I was whisked away! So I grabbed my brushes and my makeup thinking maybe I could get some on at some point but that never happened because it was a nonstop! So hilarious!!! Loved that they captured that!!! Go to my seint website if you want to check out those fabulous brushes and the amazing clutch I’m actually giving away this month... .because you know..why not!?

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves. Salma Hayek

Our Story

Joaquin, our third son, was an unexpected blessing, he was born with something extra called Down syndrome and that inspired us to adopt Sofia from an orphanage in Ukraine, we fell in love with her from a single image posted on the web. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift of all children no matter what color, shape or form they style!
