The Party Don’t Start Til I Walk In!
Hello darlings! My name is Kirsten and I’ll one of Yvonne’s lovely summer bloggers here on HeyDoYou! I’ll be here to give you an inside look at new products, events and soooo much more!
But who am I? I’m the epitome of a firecracker, I’m five feet of pure, unadulterated fun (Because we all know dynamite comes in small packages)! I majored Beauty Merchandising and Marketing at the FABULOUS Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, CA, sound familiar? Yes?! Project Runway premiered in the same halls I walked to class in!
I’m a sucker for anything involving color cosmetics, puppies, rose gold, or Alice in Wonderland and I’ll eat my body weight in Sour Patch Kids forever. It’d be an understatement to say I have a sweet tooth. I’m a gamer girl with a true love for RPGs and MMOs, yes, geek chic is totally a thing! My cosplays are my life and maybe I’m a little geeky and weird… but who wants to be NORMAL?!
Looking forward to a super “hot” summer with you guys!
Kisses,
