Beautiful in Glasses I’ve worn glasses since Jr. High.  I didn’t try contacts until I got married and they felt immovable and abrasive like I was wearing a Captain America shield over each eye.   As time went on contacts improved and became more comfortable and soft enough that I didn’t even know I was wearing them. Every once in a while it nice to just wear glasses again and give my eyes a little rest.  I still want to feel pretty so I learned a few good tricks so I don’t disappear behind the frames.       #1  Even …

I love body scrubs!  I love the way my skin feels while the course sugar and salt crystals buff and polish my skin. The fragrant oils and spices leave my skin smelling sweet and feeling baby soft.  I love to do it after I do the dishes as a little reward.  They are a great way to keep skin soft during winter months. There are many over the counter products that I love and return to. The Mango Body Scrub is my favorite summertime fragrance.  The other one I stumbled upon at Costco is LaLicious Sugar Souffle Scrub.  It has a sweet vanilla aroma which …

    There are many ways to get your signature scent to last longer.  Many companies now sell your favorite scent not only in a perfume, but a body wash, lotion, scrubs, and oils.  Layering your scent will help it last longer and allow you to stay in control of how strong the scent will be.  Some enjoy long lasting expensive perfumes you can sample at the mall, other prefer a more subtle approach.  Either way you have options. You can layer with the same scent like the popular seasonal sweet cool scent of Bath and Body Works Twisted Peppermint. Remember that body …

There are so many type of eye shadows on the market today and a variety of colors, quality, and formulas.  Some are cream based, a fine powder, a …

There are times when I’m so tired at night that cleaning my face seems is the last thing I want to do.  However I know to never go to sleep with my make up on.  Months ago after a long fun day at the New Orleans Romantic Times book convention Colleen pulled out some eye makeup wipes and handed one to me.  Simple Eye Make-Up Remover Towelettes   The little soft disc was a small piece of heaven.  It removed all my eye make  up!  (It took two for Colleen, but that’s because she had glittery eye liner on) What a …

I have tried many different face scrubs out of a tube or bottle, and a few different powered face cleansing systems.  I want to tell you about the various powered cleansing systems I’ve tried.  1st I started off with an Olay Fresh Effects Powered Contour Cleansing System.  It cost right around $10.00 with a coupon and sale and I took it home to try out.  It’s cute, it’s small, but it’s a little rough.  I didn’t feel my face was much cleaner but it was fun to use.  So I gave it to my daughter.
