How Murad Resurgence Retinol Youth Serum Changed My Skin

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Thanks for tuning in today as I take you on a two week journey of testing the Murad Resurgence Retinol Youth Serum. The serum is the #1 retinol in the country and in my experience, was effective, didn't sting or leave me red rosy faced and has a light silky texture with pleasant scent.

I have been using the 3 step system in the Resurgence line as part of a beauty blogger program. Yet - I have been a rabid fan of the Murad brand for over ten years. I took the skin quiz on the website so long ago - that when I visited https://www.murad.com/skin-quiz/  again and took the quiz in 2020, it showed that this retinol line would be part of my daily skin regime.

If you are looking for effective skincare that can help even skin tone, reduce fine lines, and give you a healthy glow!

Please watch the video to see the start to the finish of my two week trial!






I received a sample to participate in the challenge, thank you Dr Murad! You can get yours at Ulta Beauty stores or Sephora. So if you want to work on fine lines, smoothing textured skin or improving a healthy glow to your skin in time for Valentine's day - try the Murad Resurgence Retinol Youth Serum! Thank you for watching - please share and subscribe!

Corona virus: what preventative steps to take to keep your family healthy

Hi ya Gorgeous,

Oh 2020, you pull no punches and started with the pedal to the mettle with no let up!

Ugh! First, such sorrow and tragedy in the sudden death of Kobe Bryant, his teenage daughter, and the other passengers on the helicopter that crashed yesterday.  

Thank you Kobe for moving the game forward. While that happened, much of the world is reeling from the rapidly spreading contagion known as the Corona virus. 

As a mom of a busy teenager who is at a large school and being in LA a large city with a large Asian population with no travel ban in place - it would be easy to slip into fear and panic.

But no. Not today satan. This is a time to be calm, level headed, and wash your hands then wipe down your work space, living space and keep some wipes on hand for public space.

So I put a video up today and fingers crossed that the lame person who used the live chat to make lewd statements doesn't show up. There is always that one who ruins it for the others. So I won't be turning the chat feature on again going forward with live videos.

Please enjoy the video - practice the simple steps to help you keep yourself and your family safe.

Corona virus: what preventative steps to take

Southgate Michigan - How To Know Your Windows Need Replacing

Hey Southgate Michigan!

Do you know, how to tell, when your windows in your home or business need replacing?

There are a few simple tell tales on when it's time to schedule a window replacement inspection and order a new set.

First, the window seals leak and make noises meaning your energy bill is going up due to the age of the window and quality going down. That whistle sound is the sound of money escaping via the leak in the seal of the old window.

Second, the window seals and frame will show signs of wear such as flaking, peeling or cracking paint and caulking. If there are any edges lifting or when you close the window small pieces fall off, its a sign that you may want to consider replacing the window.

Finally, the window itself is hard to open or keep shut due to worn frames, hinges and poor seals. Daily use and wear and tear of life on a window can slowly add up over time and before you know it, you have fussed and fought with a window to get it to close, or stay closed, or have begun to wedge something in between the window and frame jam to keep it shut.

When would now be a good time to replace your windows? Michigan Windows can help.

If you find you are experiencing any of these signs in the windows in your living and working spaces, simply visit the licensed, bonded, insured professionals with a showroom of replacement window styles to choose from in Southgate Michigan.

Golden Globes 2020 - Who Will Wear What

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy day to you! 2020 is in full swing and the beginning of award season for entertainment is about to launch with the Golden Globes on Sunday January 5th on NBC.

 You can watch online at www.nbc.com or your favorite streaming app like Hulu or YouTube TV.  The show starts at 5 p.m. PST.  Some of you may even have a ticket to watch from the stands at the red carpet event.  Have fun and wear sunscreen.

 Some of the talent may show up in sequins and I'm loving the full glam of a floor length dress that is covered in sparkle.

The pastel trend of the past will not be repeated. I'm expecting to see bold bright colors and metallics - lots of metallics.  I think we will see metallic colors in the gowns as well as in the lippies and eye makeup. 

This award show is more of a party and acts like a preview to what is coming for Oscars in February.

Let me know in the comments, what do you think the Golden Globes red carpet will look like in 2020? It's the first award show of the decade!
