Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner By Debra Macki

Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner is my all-time favorite brush cleaner. It has a vanilla scent instead of the common chemical smell of other brush cleaners. It’s quick drying, sanitizes, and conditions brushes.

Grow Young

by Sandie Torres, Editor-in-Chief

When I was little I believed in Santa, the Tooth Fairy and other mystical holiday characters that didn't make any sense. When I out grew Santa I believed I had psychic abilities, mostly really good intuition that I heard came from my Polish grandmother. I spent a lot of time interpreting dreams and believing in superstitions, fate and destiny. When I had fear it was healthy fear in situations where one can expect fear. When I was in high school I started new jobs with only slight apprehension. Then I grew up...and somewhere in between having my second daughter and now I became more fearful, anxious and the worst part...I stopped believing in magic. Where was that young fearless version of myself? And how could I get her back?
