A New Look for Horsing Around In LA Thanks to Allen Taylor Photography!

   A New Look for Horsing Around In LA Thanks to Allen Taylor Photography!

By: Erin

Disclosure: I was chosen as a makeover model for Allen Taylor Photography in exchange for this post. All thoughts and opinions remain my own, and I highly recommend Allen Taylor Photography!

Working with kids and with horses I don’t usually wear much make-up and usually just end up putting my hair up in a pony tail to get my hair off my face in the warm classrooms (since they don’t all have AC in them, can you believe that??) or when I’m at the barn with the horses, so that my hair isn’t in my way. So I’m pretty much a no-frills girl on a daily basis.

Being at the barn a lot around the horses and just spending a lot of time with animals in general, combined with the fact that I work in all sorts of different classrooms in the schools, I never know if there will be AC or if I will be roasting and sweating all day. Given this, I don’t bother getting all prettied up and spend hours doing my hair and make-up. If I’m just going to be sweating it off and having my hair stick to the back of my neck, I’d rather not and just be comfortable!

However, lord knows I could use an updated photo of myself for my blog and it is fun to get all dolled up for special occasions! LOL

For special occasions I usually just end up getting my hair and make-up done by my wonderful hair guy Richie Roman, since I’m not very talented in that department since I don’t do it on a regular basis. I am way too much of a perfectionist, it would take me days for me to be happy with the way it turns out!

When I found out that my friend Wendy was seeking a couple of volunteers for makeover models to photograph, I jumped at the chance.  I thought this would be great fun to do this for Allen Taylor Photography, and to get some more professional looking pictures, instead of the down and dirty ones from the barn for my blog (see below)! 😉

So here are a few “Before” photos: Nothing fancy, just plain and simple.

Yogurtland

Who doesn’t love a yummy frozen treat like Yogurtland? Wait don’t answer that… anyways, I know I LOVE frozen yogurt and Yorgurtland is one of my all time favorite places to get it at. I mean, look at the awesome creations  you can make! Isn’t it pretty? Almost TOO pretty to eat, notice I said ALMOST  though. It’s too good to pass up! 😉 I love how you can pick and choose what you want and take as much of or as little of everything that your little heart desires. I also love it when new seasonal flavors come in. Which is what brings me here!

From July 8 – Sept. 15, Yogurtland will be introducing six delicious new frozen yogurt, sorbet flavors and toppings inspired by the zany Looney Tunes characters, their personalities and favorite snacks and treats.
