My inspiring pal Jenise is organizing a fundraiser for the recent situation in Haiti. If you're in the GTA area, come on out and bring a few friends to have some fun while raising money for a great cause at Bowl for Haiti.

I have my first wedding of the year that day so I won't be there in person, but artistrhi will definitely be there in spirit!! There will be a raffle at the event for an artistrhi make-up prize pack. The prize pack includes a free make-up application from myself along with the make-up goodies pictured above (that's a total value of $200!).

If you can't make it, there are easy and instant ways to donate via these aid organizations:
1. Doctors without Border / Médecins Sans Frontières
2. Red Cross
3. Unicef
4. Free the Children

It's been a week since the devastating earthquake hit Haiti, but the recovery and rebuild process will be ongoing long after Haiti disappears from news headlines. Let's do our part to contribute... :)

2010 is off to a great start with all the bridal trials and weddings that are going on!! Caroline pictured above was such a delight to work with.

She wanted a 'fresh' and glowing look so we kept the make-up neutral around the eyes, added falsies and then highlighted the cheeks and lips with warm pink tones. The result...a beautiful, blushing bride-to-be!!

p.s. don't you just love her dimples?! Stay tuned as I help Caroline prep for her Big Day in June :)

Rina + Joe engaged are now actually Rina + Joe married!! Oops I'm a little behind in adding these pics to the artistrhi site, but I wish them the best all the same!! I'm looking forward to e-shoots with Claud getting underway with our first one right around the corner in February... stay tuned for those cool (well, literally cold!) shots :)

Attention brides-to-be: check out this link about the ongoing Claudia Hung Weddings and artistrhi collaboration to receive a complimentary mini make-up appointment with yours truly!

Awesome.

The second set from our Grimms' fairy tale themed shoot is now up under the Fashion section of rhiaamio.com. Rapunzel was hands down my favourite theme of that day; I loved the hair, make-up (ok slight bias!), styling and of course the finished product!! Everyone did such an amazing job while still having fun on set. I'm very excited to see what Teama Cheema comes up with for 2010! xo!
