Thanks for watching today!
So much going on and I'm about to get on the road for adventure!
But,
before I go, I want to show this palette so you can see it "normal' and
then while I'm traveling I'm going to show it as it is intended for use -
in water!

Happy Father's Day! Cheers to all ya'll havin' a wonderful celebration with the fathers in your life!
One more thing ...to all the single moms, who are doing double duty as both parents, we salute you!
Women went to work during the war, and some really liked it and didn't want to return to home life. Some liked it but did want to return. Since this time, the role of women in the home and the workplace has shifted, and women have began to shoulder both the home and the work, and the family.
To each woman at home with the family on this fathers day, just know, for you, today is "FaMother's" Day! Celebrate yourself and the success you have in raising a family, while maintaining the home and working while also serving in your community! Thank you for your dedicated efforts!
Now, how about some videos from the Youtube channel that showcase some great gift ideas for Father's day.
Hi ya Gorgeous!

Lightening your hair naturally with dandruff shampoo and vitamin C - great for lifting box color!
Well, if it's not on the internet it might not be true? I am stunned by
the results!
Enjoy the scientific test I did on myself to lighten my box of
accidentally black when it was supposed to be blue hair.
Things to know: this had a very strong scent. I have a keen sense of
smell to begin with, though this really had a strong scent that even
after I washed my hair - I could smell the vitamin C!
Good luck to you if you need to try this!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Sunday and in particular, happy Pentecost Sunday!
It's been 50 days of counting the omer from Passover til now, and going forward in the year is an exciting time.
God's power is seen in the Pentecost story as the apostles proclaim
Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected. The gift of tongues in Acts 2 is
a sign that God's word is no longer limited to one people or one place,
one language or one race, but is now available to all people
everywhere.
So celebrate today! Sing songs! Dance a new jig! Give thanks! Eat something sweet cheesy treats! Just find a way to enter into the goodness and promises God has for you!

Hope you are having a wonderful day! It's Wednesday, that means time to review a wine, preferably something in the $10 and under range. I have something special in a part "unboxing" or uncorking video that also doubles as a first impression!
Oh - but not today - this review of Yellow Tail merlot is not your usual Yellow Tail!
This wine can be found easily, nationwide, and it's usually well under $10.
Enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

How ya doin'! Today's June REsolve Tuesday topic is - one word. Like a horse who wears blinders to help them run the race or plow the field, choosing a target word to help you pin point your action tasks can help you succeed in what you are focusing on.
What is
one word you can use to help you focus your goals and tasks down to a
manageable moment on the fly? How you can you help yourself with a "trigger" word that would, as Tony Robbins says "will change your state?".
I just did a personal coaching session and she helped me narrow down to
"HARMONY" and it's amazing! Now, when it comes time for
family/fitness/finances/career ...in my action steps I can use "harmony"
as my divining tool to laser pin point my focus.
So good!
Try it! Find a word to tie together all of your efforts! Let me know in
the comments if this helped you!
Muah!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
First day of June and summer fun is on! I love long sunny summer days with lots of swimming in the pool, going to the lake and the beach!
All of that fun sun is a good time though it can be hard on your hair - especially colored and highlighted hair!
I've got a new hair treatment that I have been using the past few weeks, twice a week for intense conditioning and healing of my hair. Have you heard of it? It's called Gotu Kola.
Gotu Kola has been used to strengthen hairaround the world for a long time. It can also promote hair growth. It's also known to contain several antioxidants. Gotu kola known by it's science name, Centella asiatica, is one of the most popular Ayurvedic herbs.
It's thought to increase hair length and stimulate hairgrowth, possibly by increasing blood circulation to the scalp which in turn grows long, healthy hair.
I use my Gotu Kola hair mask after washing my hair, and then I let the product set on my hair under a cap for about 15 minutes. After rinsing out, I have shiny happy looking hair!
Don't just take my word for it - try it for yourself! Get a tub of Gotu Kola hair mask here:
