Beauty 101: How to Choose the Perfect Highlighter for Your Skin Tone
Highlighting (or strobing) is no longer a makeup fad or seasonal trend, highlighting here to stay and there is no one-size-fits-all in the highlighter department.

Walmart’s Spring Beauty Box Unboxing
Walmart’s beauty box is a subscription service, costs $5 per shipment and is released 4 times a year. Since the boxes are released every season, the makeup, skin and body care products (sample size and/or full size) will represent the season the box is being released.

When you open the box, you see the theme of the box which is “Embrace Your Beauty” and the spring themed tissue paper is very nice too. Now, let’s…

Beauty 101: How to Find and Apply the Perfect Shade of Blush
The right blush can make you look years younger instantly. With all of the different powder and cream formulas on the market to sift through, the key is knowing what the best blush is for you and how to apply it like a pro. It’s time to get glowing!

Healthy Fats to Add to Your Diet
If you’re a little skeptical about adding calorie-rich fats to your food, you’re not alone. After decades of being told to cut it from our diets, most Americans are still warming up to the idea that certain fats can actually be good for you. Fats play a vital role in the body, from helping to carry the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K through the bloodstream, to insulating and providing protective padding to internal organs, to helping build brain tissue. Without an adequate fat supply, your body and brain simply couldn’t keep up, but as with anything else, moderation is key. Use these fats mindfully to be able to…
