This year took a decade to pass. Or so it feels? Now that there are 31 days and counting, when would now be a good time to pick up a good book? I was sent this copy of The Red Menace: How Lipstick Changed the Face of American History and I really enjoyed the read. I like beauty history and how cosmetics shaped women, the view of them in society and how they feel they see themselves.
I'm a strong proponent of a lipstick has the power to change your day, change your mood, even change your life. A bold red lip can make a gal feel confident.
Like Bourjois, the 1863 cosmetics company founded in Paris France. This vintage lipstick, Ashes of Roses by Bourjois is mentioned in the book.
I love reading books and I read a lot! I just got a new book and I think you may enjoy it, especially if you are keeping to a "new year new you" effort to improve yourself in 2018!
Meet author Paul Wharton who is a television host, makeover guru, and skin care entrepreneur!
This book has just 5 chapters and a final word chapter to pull all the thoughts together. It's full of beautiful photos and spot on advice for looking and feeling your best.
It's an easy read with practical steps to follow using what you have now on hand!
This book is available now on Amazon or Kindle!
Hi ya Gorgeous!
TGIF!
Whoa. Okay. I can explain. No need for excuses. Though here it goes. In the beginning of 2017, I said I would only be posting on Monday due to my busy schedule with my feature film, Jael A Western Tale. I am finished with the script, there are still a few roles to cast and then, the forever list of details that need to be managed and completed to get us to production!
You can learn more about it on it's Facebook page here: http://facebook.com/jaelawesterntale
This week, the focus is on the Influenster Vox Box from Lancome. Oh such sweet goodies!
I received these products for free as a gift to review and give my honest opinion. I can honestly say that I don't really like the liquid form of the foundation but this stick is a dream! It's a semi matte finish and dries down powdery without caking in face creases. Bonus! Then the concealer is thicker than my normal brand but for those who need more coverage, I think you will enjoy the consistency, coverage and wear time! Which is long! I'm amazed by the click highlighter pen which when you click the button on the end it oozes out a bit of rose and gold shimmer liquid which more like a veil wash of color and highlight than an actual highlight powder or cream. I used it all over my face! Finally, the lip gloss is light and can be work alone, over a lipstick or lip liner. It's so versatile and perfect for your spring and summer looks! So like Lancome says, Don't Glow It Alone!
So part of my current over whelm is that while I am watching my feature film slowly ... oh ... so...slowly make it's way to production, I did a documentary in the mean time. It was like taking a job on top of a job!
It's completed and finishing up it's distribution deal now, funny, how it's easier to place a true story versus a fiction one!
This photo shows Purequosa. Otherwise known as a stinky gal who swears she is not a germaphobes new best friend!
I received a sample from them to test and it came at the best time ever! I was en route from one NASCAR race in Las Vegas to another in Phoenix and it went from hot to hotter. This colloidal silver spray with essential oils is amazing! I used it on the surface of some places, in the air in others, on my skin and in my mouth for a freshening up!
It's available on Amazon right now - and if you have kids, pets, relatives, a house, a car, armpits and yuck mouth - you need this! Your spring break will thank you!
Finally, my favorite segment, "What Are You Reading" this week! I'm re-reading the #BeMore book by Sandi Krakowski. I love it's bite sized nuggets of inspiration and wisdom. Get yours on Amazon today! http://amzn.to/2nJjKeh

Hi ya Gorgeous,
I love reading in my spare time ( ha...there is no spare time) and I average 2 books a week.
I just received a sample copy of FACE VALUE by Autumn Whitefield-Madrano.
I read it and I'm thankful for the sample though the book, even as it deals with beauty and makeup, some of my favorite subject matter, did not sit well with me.
Though, don't take my opinion! Get a copy of the book, read, and make an informed decision for yourself.
You can learn more about the author at her website:

And get the book on Amazon!
Remember: you are beautiful!
