About Me
Hi there, I’m Stefanie!
Stefanie, with an “F” not a “PH”. I live in West Bountiful, Utah with my hubby, Darren and 3 pups, Crickytt, Auzzie and Froggy! Darren is my Twin Flame Soulmate and the best thing that has manifested in my life! We were set up on a blind date and our third date was a complete DIY bathroom renovation (I’m talking you could see the pipes in the floor boards where the tub use to be)! We have so many fun, hard, real and beautiful stories to follow. We were married in Laguna Beach, CA where our souls will always be pulled. I am the oldest of 9 kids (8 living) and I don’t know where I would be in life without them!
I have always been attracted to all things magical and have tuned into my intuition to help others. I am a Disney-holic, Crystal Loving, Intuitive, Self- taught Scorpio Artist that Believes in Magic! I have also been recreating the beauty industry as a licensed Hair & Makeup Artist since 2001, with my focus now being Fantasy Hair & Makeup Transformations & Costume/Event Styling.
I have had a longing and connection to Disney since childhood. Originally wanting to be a Disney Animator, I would spend hours drawing and creating Disney characters as a kid. So, now I feel that I am fulfilling that dream in a little different way! I have always done DIY in a Disneyfy (or other fandoms) way. Being born the day before Halloween and love for Tim Burton at a young age only added to my weirdness. My heart is so grateful for all the support I now have, and I hope to create extra magic for others through art, hair, makeup, DIY, healing and much more! My heart & mind have no limits of what imagination can create!
Through my own healing and alignment, I have come to realize I have always had an intuitive empathy. I have loved being able to help others by getting certified as a Reiki Healing Practioner & Yoga Teacher. Using these modalities along with my Artistry to assist with inner guidance & magical inner & outer transformation.
My artistry is not one medium or style. It doesn’t consist of one type of palette or tool…. My artistry originates from the heart and imagination of my childhood self. It is executed with purpose and passion to share my unique thoughts to the world. It is led by the workmanship and unity of mind, body and spirit…. I am surrendering and embracing the way my higher self has repeatedly shown and blessed me to share with the world. Each piece I share with you comes with great intent to bring joy, beauty, connection and magic to those who need! This is my artistry mantra…..

Mirror, Mirror On the Wall, This New Moon Energy is For Us All
We may have been experiencing a lot of polarity since the last full moon. The releasing we experienced during that full moon lunar eclipse has had ongoing affects the last couple weeks. We have been tested in letting go of those things as we also create new things. It may have felt chaotic, rough, discouraging , uncomfortable and scary. All while it may feel like these things are hard, we have also been feeling the polarity of excitement, freshness, encouragement, and even things manifesting with fun and ease.
As we head into the New Moon Energy this weekend we are asked to have grace, compassion and love for ourselves. We will be having a different kind of ritual, than you may have experienced. I will lead you in an Intentional Self-Care Beauty Ritual with affirmations and chakra balancing.
Below I will leave a list of tools you will want to bring with links to products I recommend for this. These are recommended to give you a full experience of the event. Any product I recommend I have tested and or used myself.
I am so excited for this New Moon Magic and the shift it will provide with gentleness, calm & peace.
New Moon Ritual:
- Please come with a clean face. You can do your normal skin care routine as well.
- You will need a facial oil. I love using Plant-Vegan Squalane Oil. This oil is light and moisturizing and similar to your natural skin oil. (Link Below)
- A Gua Sha Tool, Palm Stone Crystal or simply you hand will be sufficient. I am linking a jade and rose quartz Gua Sha tool. (Link below)
- Comfy Clothes
- Clean Hair (within 24 hours). For those in the Moon Magic Family there will be a hair washing ritual posted in the group that will be good for this step.
- If you haven’t already signed up for this event on Tuesday, May 31st, be sure to do so here: https://magicalartistry.com/home/moon-magic-empowered-by-pixie-dust/

Tangled Transformation
I will never forget that moment sitting in the theatre and realizing that every action and word out of the villain’s mouth I had experienced and heard in real life (even hairstyle)…. the only difference was that it was a blood-related mother who was manipulating, not one who kidnapped and was pretending.
Mother Gothel will always be the scariest villain….. she is a real life villain that doesn’t require magic or minions to do her dirty work, although will still use them.
I was so excited when they announced Tangled! Not only because of the hair and amazing braid, but because when I was younger and wanted to be a Disney animator I would dream up Rapunzel characters. I never in a million years would have guessed I would have a 3rd very emotional/mental connection.
Around this time in my life I was ironically, catching and piecing together what would be the never ending lies and evilness that comes with those lies. Watching this movie in the theatre solidified my feelings of eliminating a toxic relationship (for lack of better words) that only carried negativity, loneliness and zero self-worth.
I remember the empowerment I felt and saying “YES!! “ out loud when Rapunzel grabbed Gothels wrist and said “NO!” I have to admit the relief I also felt when Gothel went *Poof* and knew she couldn’t hurt anyone else.
So here is to the survivors of the scariest real life villains of compulsive lying, narcissistic sociopaths. The Happily Ever After can be a long process of healing the shadow, maybe inner child work and generational trauma, but it is oh so worth it!
I’m curious, who is your scariest villain?
Queen of Hearts
She’s very late for an important date….. if it were another instead, it would have been “OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!”
One thing about being the Queen is “all ways, are your ways” and being late to this months Dreamy Nightmares Series is her way apparently. I am excited to share the time-lapse and the wig transformation of the heartless, or I mean the Queen of Hearts this week.
Do you like the animated version or the live action Tim Burton version better?
I personally loved that they look nothing like each other and yet are both perfect in every villainous way!
