"Summer to me means so many things, but one thing it means in particular is I finally have a summer glow!" Being super pale all year round, my body craves the sun and all things hot. I couldn't wait to create a summer makeup look that proves how much I love golds for summer. For this look, I used two palettes and kept my face makeup to a bare minimum. After I primed my eyes, I built up my crease with the darkest shade from the Motives palette. I kept this shade toward the outer corner and once my brush had very little product, I moved toward the inner corner. The shadows are really pigmented, so don't forget to tap the brush a few times to remove excess product!
Then I went in with the yellowygold shade on the bottom and used that to blend out any harsh lines. I took the taupe color and used that on the rest of my lid and inner corner. Now time to make this look pop!

Furthermore, I sprayed my liner brush with my Ulta setting spray and used the gold color from the Maybelline Brights palette to create the wing and liner. I decided to pull the color onto the outer lower lash line as well. To top off the eyes, I put the gold color in my inner corner. To really take your look to the next level, use the bottom color as a highlighter on the high points of your cheeks, down your nose & the tip, and cupids bow. For lips, Essence Cool Nude 05 with the gold gloss from the Motives palette on top. Two coats of mascara and voila, you're now a summer Goddess! Get motives cosmetics at www.aimcbeauty.com

#GETInventing with tips from CEO of Debetta Enterprises Jim Debetta
For as long as I have been alive, the topic of inventing has always been a big draw. Today, inventing is super hot! With all of the reality shows, blogs and forums, and celebrities talking about inventions, it is no surprise that inventing is top of mind for millions of Americans. Today, it seems that everyone is into inventing. Kids, moms, grandmas, you name it! No matter who I talk to, it seems that everyone either has an idea for a product or had an idea but never acted on it. There is so much information available for aspiring inventors that there is almost no excuse to take action and look to explore how to bring your product to market. How do you make sure you are taking the proper steps to developing your product? You reach out to those that have been there and done that…..you talk to industry leaders who know how to guide you and help you avoid massive mistakes.
But most importantly, you need to take your time. Inventing is an exciting endeavor and the stakes are high. Some people can make a lot of money….many will not. The ones that take it slow, do their homework, and follow the basic steps are almost always the ones that enjoy some level of success. Expect to spend the first year (not a month or two) developing your product, creating logos and websites, developing a package for it, finding a factory to make it, etc, etc. Each phase takes careful planning and precise execution. Then, when everything is set to go, you now have to sell it! Expect this process to be ongoing and be ready to dig in as selling to retailers takes patience and persistence. Just don’t give up when you hear a no or when things get tough….sticking it out is key to reaching that success!

#GETCreative with CEO of PEER STRATEGIES, Teresa Pokladowski Make your event the talk of the summer with a few simple tricks. Theme : Thinking outside of the box will be sure to set your event apart. Example? Let’s stick with a trend Beyoncé brought back recently… Lemonade stand! Put together different lemonades, buffet style. Spike them with vodka for the adults marking accordingly. Keep the citrus theme going with matching decor. Craft signs to decorate the backyard. Set the mood with old school jams — what your guests listened to at their first lemonade stand.
Sonya Highfield Photography
Grub, Booze, and Pics Parting Gifts GRUB: Feeding people is a classic way to show them you love them. Craft creative recipes to match the theme and add a custom drink. BOOZE: Take a classic summer staple — popsicles and add alcohol. Mix your favorite drink, find a popsicle mold, and —voila! Check out this cool website for ideas.
Say goodbye to eating leftovers the rest of the week or diminished fridge space by providing togo boxes. This is a great idea for guests to take home what they liked at a potluck.
PICS: Create a selfie station to document the night. Ensure photos capture more than just your mugs using a selfie stick. Create an event hashtag to instantly browse photos on social media. Be sure to include the hashtag on event correspondence. Get props — try silly bandanas, hats, and inflatables for the gang to take pictures with. For decor, try themed lights. Toss LED lights into punch bowls and ice bins.

Relationship Expert & Celebrity Matchmaker Amy Laurent, #GETSCENE Q: How did you get involved in your business? A: "It’s funny when I get asked this, I always think people expect me to say something corny like the old cliché story “Oh, I knew when I was young I had a knack, in 8th grade I used to match all my classmates… some of them are married today..”
Our editor had the pleasure of connecting with Amy through LinkedIn. We always admired her work and thought for our summer issue Amy would be a great fit to be featured! To start we get to know a little about Amy PLUS Amy gets to give you a little inside scoop on how to #GETNoticed this summer for all you singles!
"I don’t taut myself to be the allknowing expert born into this as I matched hundreds of school friends while tackling puberty during my down time. In all seriousness, it sort of happened… by mistake. Of course that being said, I’m a big believer in that there no ‘mistakes’ in life and it’s not a coincidence I’ve always been a people person. I don’t mean someone who likes being around people in general. It goes further than that and really what I’m referring is the skill I was always equipped with; an uncanny ability to understand many varieties of individuals on a deeper level than most can or ever will. And that also includes individuals who were much, much different than I."
Relationship Expert & Celebrity Matchmaker Amy Laurent, #GETSCENE "I was never the most popular girl in school (her name was Erin, nearly everyone wanted to be her..) I wasn’t the prettiest, or the richest, or even someone who really belonged to any certain clique. Everyone belonged to SOMETHING, a group that was labeled. I was the rare floater in my school I dabbled in and out of cliques chatting up everyone of all kind of varieties, to the point I had created my own club of one of this kind. I was essentially the only person in school able to float in this manner and who didn’t fit into a label of a specific clique. Essentially, I just ‘got’ everybody and was never limited in friends or popularity by the fact I belonged in no particular group. That was just the way I liked it, and how I viewed the world should work at that time. Don’t conform!"
"Now that being said, fast forward to today. The irony is, nowadays I do work with a very particular clientele; among the most discerning roster you’ll find in this industry for both the men as well as the women. So there I was, working hard literally all of my childhood years so not to be pegged or limited into one particular group."
"Yet I eventually landed right smack into a career field where I’m working with a very specific and particular demographic of human beings for which I’ve successfully positioned in life changing ways. Had I planned it? Predicted it? No. At the end of the day, you have to choose where you put your focus.. We all have a particular gift we are given but not everyone will recognize it and put it to good use in their lifetimes." Q: What would be your advice on how to #GETNoticed when it comes to dating this summer?
A: "The best thing I can advise those who are looking for love or a serious relationship as we approach the summer months is to know that balance between having fun and not trying too hard...
Relationship Expert & Celebrity Matchmaker CONTINUED... So, as you can imagine of course, anyone within ear shot of my response “I’m a matchmaker” has a freak out. I always know when it’s coming and it’s actually funny to me as I’m thinking “here it comes..” I get a handful of people rushing in to ask 20 questions about what that is, what’s it like, etc. etc. Literally I find a circle of onlookers standing there fascinated as if they are ... Anyone can sense when someone is staring at the elephantman on display at the desperate, looking too hard, etc and you circus. Lol. I do get amused back the same definitely do want to have fun this summer. way they are amused with me so it’s a On the other hand, if love and someone equal in that equation is what you seek, you mutual respect. And let me tell you, I’ve also have to be clear and conduct yourself in found quite a large number of unicorns this way over my time doing this. So no matter the manner that reflects that. So this how tired, even if I’m off the clock on my summer, just have fun, but BE OPEN and the right person at the right time will present ‘own time’, when people ask I tell them. And themselves. You’ll know it when it happens, they always ask. The job title really has become who I am and my everything that I just go easy on the summer cocktails and care about when it comes to my clients and keep your wits about you!" what we are accomplishing here – so to answer, there is no such thing as my own Q: What do you do for fun when you personal time. And that’s how I like it." are aren't working? A: "The reality of it is, my own ‘free time’ really isn’t fully my own when it comes down to this job. It hasn’t been that way in years, and my career happens to be my passion and soul so it was something I was willing to give up in part...

Is it a Summer Fling or the Real Thing? Summer time is right around the corner. A time of warm,sunny days, ocean breezes and a sense of relaxation. It is also a season where love is in the air. For some, that could mean the real deal. For others the fireworks may sizzle and then fizzle.
Here are three ways to know the difference... Many people “hook up” over the summer months for a little added fun. For those looking for a temporary diversion that can work out fine. A sweet memory and then a swift, sweet goodbye.. Others are looking for true love and it’s important to know there is quite a difference between a summer fling and the real thing. There are 3 key ingredients to look for if you are searching for something more than a quick, passing fancy.
Pay attention to these signs to see if your “summer romance” may have the potential to evolve into the real deal. One. Get Clear. If you are searching for more than fleeting affection and attention, let your date know early on. You certainly don’t have to share all your must have’s on date one but don’t wait too long. Be open about what you are looking for. Don’t hesitate to let a potential date know what you are looking for. Two. Pay attention to your dates conversations, thoughts and behavior. If they tell you they are only looking for some fun & “nothing serious” please believe them. They may be great for the short term but not a serious candidate for you. Limit your emotional investment before it is too late & don’t set yourself up for unnecessary disappointment.

Three. Get to know them outside of the bedroom. Sexual chemistry can be very alluring and exciting but a real deal relationship is based on much more than the physical. Are they interested in doing things with you aside from hooking up? Take a little time to get to know each other with your clothes on. Ask yourself: Is there an emotional connection? Are you both emotionally available? Do you feel comfortable & safe with him/her? Good communication? Shared interests? Good conversation? Do you respect each other? Does the interest seem balanced or more onesided? Enjoy time together no matter what you are doing? These are important questions to ponder. Communicate & be certain you are both seeing the union in the same way. It will cause less hurt, frustration and disappointment a few months down the road if one of you is interpreting the get togethers differently.
Summer flings can be light, breezy and fun but both people need to be on or close to the same page.
It is wise to communicate often and pay attention to behavior. Some people unfortunately say things that they can’t live up to. They can be dishonest to both you and themselves. Summer only visits once a year so make yours a memorable one by speaking your truth and getting smart with your heart.

#GETTRAVELiNG with tips from travel blogger, Sara Machkowsky The Ultimate Weekend Getaway: Toronto, Canada Eat at Porchetta and Co, unless you are a vegetarian, and in that case you are on your own. This was by far the best sandwich I have had the pleasure of eating. Slow cooked roast pork with the most perfect pairings of toppings.
Play at Get Well. They have a good selection of old fashioned arcade games, a trendy vibe, and yummy pizza. Did I mention all the games are free? Drink at Cold Tea, if you can find it. Sunday is the day to check out this hidden gem. They have a rockin DJ, fabulous snacks, and the bartender will create a unique drink based off your interests.
Lastly, DANCE at the Drake Hotel. There is a deck for casual drinks. The first floor inside has a good vibe and great music. When you are feeling ready to get your groove on, walk downstairs. There you will find a wild dance party with jams that keep you going all night.

LAUNCH PARTY 2016
#GETTRAVELiNG with travel tips from travel blogger Kate Blanchard Newburyport is the perfect yearround day trip destination. It’s especially beautiful in the summer. Whether you’re looking for shopping, sipping, beaching or just strolling, this quaint New England village has something for everyone. During a girl’s weekend in May, we took advantage of shopping at Sea Bags ( http://seabags.com), Valentine’s (http://www.valentinesstores.com) & Soak & Shore (https://soakshore.com). Nearby Plum Island boasts beautiful beaches perfect for bringing a picnic and taking a dip. A favorite spot for brunch on the island is Mad Martha’s Cafe (http://madmarthasislandcafe.com). The Portuguese French Toast is out of this world!
Downtown Newburyport is filled with delicious choices from ice cream at Dolce Freddo Gelato (http://www.dfgelato.com) to savory bites at The Poynt (http://www.poyntnewburyport.com). I also recommend a walk downtown to get a taste of historic New England & enjoy the quaint seaside village. If you’re looking to extend your stay, try the newlyopened Blue Inn on Plum Island (https://www.blueinn.com).

#GETDownloading with some music from Aaron Parker A. "I used to stay at my grandmothers house during the summer when I was super young and she said I was always humming a melody so I feel like I had a song in me early on. But the first full song that I wrote was a song called "Moonshine" and I wrote it with my younger brother. I was 16." Q. Where do you perform, how can our viewers check YOU OUT! Our editor had the pleasure of connecting with Country Artist, Aaron Parker as he continues to grow in his music career! "Aaron Parker is “black hat” country with kick drum beats. Raised in Southern Alabama, Aaron’s love for performing and songwriting brought him to Nashville. Drawing inspiration from 1990s country lyricism, Aaron’s voice is often described as, “a young Garth Brooks meets early Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw.” Q.How did you know you wanted to pursue a career in music? A. "I knew I wanted to be involved in some way with music from a very early age, It wasn't till college that I the idea came up to pursue it or that it was even a possibility for me to do something like that." Q.What was the first song you wrote and how old were you?
A. Check out my youtube especially and my snapchat for everyday Shenanigans and skits. My website has all my tour dates, so make sure to come out to a date! I promise you'll love the show. Q. Who is someone you really admire in the music industry? A. "I really admire anyone who is able to do this successfully while maintaining brutal honesty and authenticity. Anyone who can do that has my full respect and admiration." Q. What do you do for fun when you are not performing your music! A, "Make videos, I read, I cook, I drink tequila, I listen to music, hang with my family. The essentials!"
