Nylon Magazine with me in it!!!!

I finally found the May Nylon Magazine issue with me self in it. In the LAX airport! I bought 2!

This was me covering up my picture with my hand...my hair looks a little crazy, I wanted to have big crimped crazy hair, but Scott Haugen, who was the awesome make-up artist (he used to do Mariah Carey's make-up!), only had curling irons. Crimpers are not really standard tools in everyone's tool kit!

So I look like my mom in the 80's! ha ha ha ha

Nylon May 2010 - with Kandee Johnson

crazy 80's hair

It felt so nice to just relax and sit back and get my make-up and hair done! I felt so pampered and fancy! Because I'm always the one working like crazy making everyone all fancy. Scott applied some concealer on my lips to give me an ultra-nude mouth!

not only was Julia Galdo, an amazing photographer, but she was an exceptional Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich maker! This was me eating her tasty lunch for me! I felt honored that she made me a sandwich! She is a brilliant photographer, and as a girl, that has worked on hundreds of shoot, she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, and pretty! (thank you Julia for being so rad!)

if only every day I got to be all made up, have sandwiches made for me, heard fun stories, got to stand in flowers...that would be so fun! This was such a fun day! I even had my sweet friend Kym, from The Luxe Beauty Team at Warren Tricomi Salon, came and gave me a manicure, took pictures for me, and brought me an Odwalla!

Here's a little video where I get to bring you with me on the photo shoot, and the drive there, some random talking while I'm driving at the end, and quick tour of some CRAZY Beverly Hills streets!

Enjoy and soon I'll have more make-up videos too! My leg just isn't allowing me to sit and make video right now! But soon....

huge love and enjoy,

your kandee

Crying yourself to sleep

Things I did before I cried myself to sleep:
I went to the reconstructive doctor (almost cried there)
Did a lot of hobbling on my crutches to get my little princess a doll for her post-birthday party...
me leg was hurting, incredibly swollen...the skin was stretching my stitches...
my heart was hurting, tired, and overwhelmed due to a lot of other things going on, my leg, all the things...I think my leg hurt, but my heart hurt even more...
I don't remember when I fell asleep....I just remember crying and tears rolling down the side of my face.
I'm telling you this, not for sympathy, (because everytime I post something about my leg, some people who don't really know me very well, post things like I'm just trying to get sympathy. BUt I'm human, and we all hurt and I hope that I might encourage someone who's going through the same thing)....I'm telling you this, for all those hearts that cried themselves to sleep last night, or tonight, or will in the future.

It was a release. The bathtub in my heart was filled with water, and just one more drop of sadness, made it overflow, out my eyes! And I know that at sometime all of you have had your "heart-tubs" overflow too. It feels good to release the pressure in your heart. And sometimes God gives you some "heavenly" sleep, where you get a vacation from your worries or heartaches.

then my friend Elena, sent me one of the most amazing things I've ever seen....today...
if you ever feel discouraged, sad, or like giving up...please watch this AMAZING video!
Tears rolled down my face as I watched him say, "he may never be able to hold his wife, but he doesn't need hands to hold her heart"...it gives me goosebumps just typing it.


Please watch and be encouraged, and if you are having one of those, "cry yourself to sleep nights", please know I wish I could be there to hold you and tell you it will be okay, and to wipe away each one of your precious tears. If you fall asleep with your hands clasped in prayer for a better morning, know that I've spent nights like that too!
may your night be sweet and your day be even sweeter, typed with love, your kandee
