May Culture Club

Our next Culture Club we did a make-up education class. Angie and Laura 

were our fabulous teachers. They first took us to Ulta were they introduced us

to all their favorite products and helped us pick out some items that would look 

great with each of our individual colorings. 

Crystal had to leave early so she got a sunny makeover at the store. All the gold

and yellows looked so pretty with Crystal's blond hair.

Then we went back to Angie's house where she had set up a few make-over stations

each with our own little mirrors. We all brought the make-up we already had as well

as the items we just bought so we could all dip into eachother's resources.  

Angie and Lu gave tips while we were all applying our make up so we 

could better achieve looks that we have always wanted to do.

Afterwards I pulled out a fan and my lights so i could take pictures of how

beautiful we all felt in the end. Everybody learned a few techniques,

some did more natural, and others more dramatic. I learned more about

how to use different make up brushes. I was a bit too timid on the smoky eyes that

I was going for, but I learned a ton that I can utilize later. 

Helen used blue mascara and a beautiful rose lipgloss. 

 Kitch was learning the smokey eye techniques as well.

Thank you so much Angie and Laura for such an enjoyable afternoon! 

April Culture Club

Crystal hosted April's culture club and it was amazing. She started off

with cooking us a super yummy breakfast. Then she discussed many of the

gardening tips and techniques she had accumulated through the years. We learned 

about how to make raised planters, what soil to use, how to compost, what veggies to

plant and how to plant them, natural pest control, how to harvest water, how to design 

and hook up your own drip watering system. She had informative hound outs and

 took us out to view her amazing veggie garden set up she had created in her 

backyard. Then she gave us a  few tomato plant seedlings each as a favor.

Thank you so so much Crystal! I learned so much and am excited to implement

all that you taught. You are one talented chicka. 

 

March Culture Club

For March Culture Club activities we first went to Art and Soup,

we loved this event so much last year that we wanted to go taste and view 

beauty once again. It never ceases to amaze me how talented

the local artists are that come show at this event. 

     

 we viewed viewed art accompanied by a talented youth quartette. 

I was going to try one last time to get these gals to experience Holi,

the festival of colors at the krishna temple, but the weather turned out 

stormy and cold and they all opted to go out to breakfast. It was my 

first time at the Original Pancake House, and my tastebuds absolutely 

LOVED it. Im always eatin' good with these ladies.

February Culture

For February Culture Club we met to have a dinner, game, and craft all

centered around the color RED.

We ate red velvet cupcakes, black forest trifle, red and white striped lobster ravioli,

cherry tomato and mozzarella pearl salad, red fruit salad, and berry sodas. 

I put together a fill-in-the-blank quiz of quotes from classic

romantic movies. The winner won a package of RED goodies.

Then we started crafting, making felt ruffle wreaths.

 We have wanted to do this craft for a few years now but

every year around this time every craft supply store sells out 

of heart shaped foam wreaths. But this year I ordered ahead.

I also taught how to tie multiple loop wired bows, and ribbon roses.

 Everyones' wreaths turned out fabulous.
