Wellness Wednesday: Ways To Be Kinder To Yourself
When we were growing up, we were told to be kind to others and that’s what we did. As adults, we continue to be kind to others because we know it’s the right thing to do, but what about being kind to ourselves? This is something I never really thought much about…being kind to myself. We have many different relationships in our lives that we work at and nurture, but the one most important relationship in your life is one you have with yourself. I think we all have internalized a belief that being overly kind to yourself, is a little self-indulgent or even selfish which makes us tend to…

What’s Up Wednesday: Make Your Own Matte Liquid Lipstick
Happy Wednesday Everyone! There are so many matte liquid lipsticks on the market today from high end to drugstore and not only can it be overwhelming to decide which brand, formulation or color will be best suited for you, but it can also be expensive buying formulations and colors that end up not being right for you! Now, if you are like me and you have an overabundance of hydrating or moisturizing lipsticks, but you want to add a few matte liquid lipsticks to your lipstick collection, but you don’t have the time or the cash to buy new liquid lipsticks, then consider making your own with what you have…

Happy Monday Everyone! I am excited to announce my new Makeup 101 series! Now I am not a makeup artist, but I have learned a thing or two over the years (I started wearing makeup in the mid-70’s) so I thought I would share what I have learned in this series that will include every aspect of applying makeup to your face.

Weight Loss Wednesday: Stress Less About The Scale
Do you weigh yourself every day? Do you worry about even the slightest change in your weight? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, you may be too focused on the scale and if you are trying to maintain healthy habits, this behavior can actually be counterproductive, since there are many factors that can cause your weight to fluctuate from one day (and even one hour) to the next. Fluid retention, hormonal shifts, constipation, and even the food you ate right before stepping on the scale can all cause daily weight fluctuations. These variations can be misleading and worrisome if you don’t understand them. For an accurate measurement…

Makeup Monday: Which One Is Better? Brush, Sponge, or Fingertips?
It’s easy to get confused on which way is the best way to apply foundation…brush, sponge or fingertips. While there are pros and cons to each application method, it all comes down to personal preference. To find out which method will work for you, I recommend experimenting with each method to see which you feel most comfortable using. While trial and error is always a good way to determine what will work best for you, I have broken down each application method below.

What’s Up Wednesday: Project Pan Basket Update May 2022
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I thought I would give you all an update on my project pan basket. When I started this in January 2022, I had fourteen makeup products and through the process of testing and eliminating products, I now have ten products (two products have been discontinued). I removed foundations (I only have five, so no need to “project pan” them), blushes (the blushes were just too old to use), concealers (I only have three concealers, so no need to “project pan” these) and face powders (I have two face powders and one setting powder for under the eyes (so no need to “project pan” them). So, here…

Makeup Monday: What’s In My Makeup Basket For May 2022
Happy Monday everyone! It has been a couple of months since I have posted what’s in my monthly makeup basket and to be honest, I just have not been feeling like putting on makeup while working from home, so I haven’t, until now!

Workout Wednesday: Common Walking Injuries & How to Avoid Them
Despite its reputation as being an ideal low-impact exercise, walking can also lay you up if you are not careful. Injuries ranging from blisters to tendinitis happen to walkers, but that certainly doesn’t mean you should hang up your walking shoes. Here are a few of the most common walking injuries and tips on how to manage, or avoid them altogether: Blisters Blisters are caused by friction from ill-fitting shoes and sweaty socks. Even though they are usually small, these fluid-filled sacs can derail a walk, hike, or run. No matter how tempting it might be, do not pop blisters. When you puncture the skin, you open up the potential…
