Today I offer you a menagerie of beauty tips to ponder as you get ready for weekend! And if you have been wondering about the back story on Ashlee Simpson’s nose job, I have some details to share. I also discuss how I got started in the styling business, how to control oil and which facials I like to get.

Hey Kim, I love the show… very interesting. My family is kinda like yours except my mom isn’t as cool. I’m hailing from the Bahamas and I wanted to know how you got your start as a stylist?

I started off styling for my mom and Bruce when they were filming infomercials. I fell in love with it and built it from there. It’s all about reputation. It’s hard work and if you are good, good news travels fast and you will always work! You need to start off being an assistant to a stylist to learn the ropes.

Hey Kim, I love all of the beauty tips you give! Thank you! I do have one question… Do you by any chance have any tips or advice on how to control oily skin? I get really irritated sometimes because i put my make-up on and about 30 minutes later my face is really shiny and I feel like my make-up is coming off. Please let me know what you think. I would really appreciate it.

I would try to use oil free makeup and powder. Also carry blot papers that you can use occasionally to control oil throughout the day. Here’s another awesome-yet-funny tip: You can use toilet seat covers to blot your face. It’s basically the same material as blot papers and their free! Ha ha!

Hey Kim… When I was young I had a nice cute nose but as I started
growing up my nose started to have a big bump on it. None of my family
members have it except for me. I’m 20 years old now and I really want
to tget rid of this ugly bump on my nose. It makes my nose look soo
much bigger. I researched on rhinoplasty, but I’m not so confident on
where to do it. I heard it is much better to do it in the states but I
live in Montreal, Canada, and I’m not sure if they are good or not an I
don’t know anyone that has had rhinoplasty. I don’t want my parents to
know. Only me and my boyfriend know. Could you please tell me where
would you recommend me to do it? I really want to get this done soon.
Thanks a lot, Kim. XOXO
P.S. Your nose is perfect. I would LOVE to have your nose.

Thanks for the compliment, Nevra! I have done my research too,
actually. I have decided that I’m too scared to do it… but the Dr.
who did Ashlee Simpson’s nose is…

Yes, it is true: I treated my cellulite

With all of this cellulite talk you guys must think I’ve got it bad! For the record, it’s really not that bad at all! Just a little junk in the trunk! ;) Here is how it all got started…

This Sunday of Keeping Up With The Kardashians you will get to see my super cute idea for my one year anniversary gift for Reggie. I wanted to think of something unique and special, not something anyone could just go out and buy! I came up with the idea to make him a calendar! (You can see pictures from the shoot on this post!)

I only had a few weeks of preparation so I had to think fast! I asked my dear friend Troy Jensen, who is a make up artist, hair stylist and photographer if he could help me out! It was fierce!!! We had the best shoot ever! It was so different from anything I have ever done!

In order to make this the hottest shoot ever, I had to get in shape! I worked out like crazy. It felt good… but then, my sisters and I went to the American Laser Center for our usual laser hair removal (I recommend this to everyone as well!) and the nurse informed us of a cellulite treatment called VelaShape.

You have got to read about it! It is basically a non-surgical device that massages the needed area and stimulates the blood circulation so that it minimizes cellulite. I only had time for one treatment, but I am definitely planning to go back for more!

Two months ago my sisters and I visited the American Laser Center and did a VelaShape treatment, and we filmed the entire process!

Of course, now that the episode is about to air, the American Laser Center released a press statement saying we went there for the treatment, and now everyone is assuming I am secretly hurt by Paris’ comments about me having cellulite and I am now rushing to try to do anything I can to get rid of it!

Well of course that is not the case! This treatment was done months before her joking around and I wouldn’t have filmed the process if this was something I was insecure or embarrassed about!

I work out extremely hard and am happy with my shape… cellulite, not so much! Some things are just genetic and no matter how much working out you do, it just doesn’t help!

LOL… What girl doesn’t have a little bit of cellulite. And who wants it, anyway!

*PLEASE NOTE: These pictures are just a preview of Sunday’s episode, they are not the entire shoot, nor are they all of the pictures that made Reggie’s actual calender, the show doesn’t give everything away and neither am I!  Some of these pictures along with a bunch more that aren’t featured on the show will be used in my own calender that will be available for 2009 in my online store!
