Flight Attendant Appreciation Day is May 31



Most people see flight attendants (aka FAs) as the hosts and food servers, but they are actually the first responders in the sky.

May 31 is Flight Attendant Appreciation Day and I know so many FAs would appreciate a little love.

Due to this "pandemic,"  many flight attendants have been working to help people get to their destinations safely. Many flights were humanitarian flights, getting university students reunited with family members or bringing expats home.

Some FAs have been grounded at home, and those who have been working have seen reduced hours because of fewer flights.  They also have to deal with stressed travelers who are not used to the very limited, or non-existent, services provided on flights.  Many FAs have been worried about their health, and the health of their loved ones while flying.

If you want to brighten a FAs day when you travel on the 31st, here are a few ideas:
  • Individually wrapped chocolates are usually appreciated
  • A cute tin of mints is nice 
  • A small bottle of hand sanitizer will put an instant smile on a FA's face these days
  • A few dollars on a gift card to Starbucks is always a treat
If you want to show a FA you know well some love, here are some good ideas:
  • A Fly Girl Box - a gift box for girls who travel!
  • Ruby Slippers - because I think every girl needs a pair!
  • Custom luggage tags - Etsy has so many to choose from!
And to all my fellow flight attendants, "THANK YOU!"


Of course flight attendant love to be pampered and I could treat a special flight attendant in your life to a makeup refresh appointment!

Lip Color Does Make A Difference in Photos

Of course, I love doing all types of makeup, but I really enjoy doing corporate portrait makeup.

Going into a corporate setting is like going home for me, since I was previously a corporate chaplain and had the opportunity to visit many diverse businesses in the Houston area.  I always enjoy learning about where people are from and how they arrived in Houston.  The variety of careers in Houston is also fascinating.  

Most of the time, women arrive for their corporate portraits with full makeup on, but I am always surprised at how many women show up without lip color on.  Most Gen Y women don't like lipstick and only prefer gloss.  And many women like the "natural lip" look.

This photo was a before photo taken by Eric Kleiman Photography.  As you can see, the client has full makeup on, but she was prepared to take a photo with her lips completely "au natural".

I noticed that she didn't want a lot of lip color, but mixed up a subtle shade that complimented her skin tone.  Here is the after photo.

In this case, lip color disguised her chapped lips and defined her naturally beautiful lip shape, without adding too much color.  

I hope this photo proves that a little lip color makes a big difference in your appearance and I ALWAYS suggest putting some color on your lips for photographs.
