My Make-Up Style

Soap is insanity.
Your skin likes to be slightly acidic to stay healthy and happy.

Please do not go to bed with your days make-up and debris on your skin!

A quality foundation provides a barrier for your skin by stopping pollution, pollen, and various types of debris from our environment reaching our skin.

If you are young, just go easy with [...]

In my mind’s eye, I was looking back today and thinking about my favorite vacations… the ones that I slapped on a little sunscreen, a pair of sunglasses, a big floppy hat and sat out on the beach with a good book and a bottle of water under a big umbrella.
I was good [...]

Winter has a way of making me a bit lazy. As I was making my face for a charity banquet, I noticed how I have been negligent about cleaning my cosmetic drawer. Spring is a great time to purge products that you have had for over a year. The biggest offenders are [...]

I continue to read about the benefits of sleeping seven to eight hours per night. I am convinced my poor sleeping habits have affected all aspects of my health. It is so nice to finally begin reading what I have been feeling for so long, a justification of sorts.  This has been a [...]
