A lifestyle blog full of beauty, health, fitness, entertainment and positive encouragement designed for the busy mom, bride, beginner, teens and all those in between!
Happy Tuesday and welcome to your Monday blog, on Tuesday. These are some strange days. Woke up to a coyote or rogue dog tore up my peiby's couch on the patio and drank up all of her water. Not the biggest of deal, though still strange because in all these years, nothing like that has ever happened!
So I am just now getting this post up even though I meant it for Monday. Any one else over whelmed with the doo dah of life? No matter how you feel, self care is important and one of my favorite ways to invest in me is skincare. I always have, and always will, remove my makeup at the end of the day and practice a good skincare routine daily!
Thank you for tuning in today - and - if you could, would you please subscribe and share? Every wee thumbs up and comment makes YouTube algorithm see the channel.
I appreciate you!
Now - this short is a quick tip to help you. If you are a Target, Ulta Beauty, or Amazon shopper, you may know Pix! Skincare and beauty.
I love the clean cosmetics that Pix! makes!
The Pix! hydrating milky mist is perfect for daytime hydration - any - time of the day!
The Pix! Glow Tonic is a classic from this brand. You can use it twice a day if you are more oily.
I use it only at night because my skin is dry. In the winter skin can become dull, and the Pix! Glow Tonic is a perfect way to do light exfoliation daily in the night time when you won't be as bothered by sun.
Enjoy and let me know in the comments what your favorite winter skin care switches you use.
I am back from Washington DC and have a report from the mission field. It was so good. It wasn't easy though it was very, very worth it!
I also have some questions that I could use your help with!
Where are you at with Black Friday sales?
Do you want posts that focus on the date or are you ready for sales and deal promotions now?
I'm asking because I normally do a MakeupUniversity 12 Days of Giving series, and I also do a focus on Black Friday/Shop Small Saturday/Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday set of blog posts to bring you the best deals possible!
But! 2020 so far, has yielded a wavy timeline. I'm seeing ads for Black Friday now, in the first week of November and I'm thinking it's anybody's game and all holds are off!
Let me know in the comments what your strategy is for the upcoming holiday season!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Tuesday!
It's a whirlwind of fun, celebration, volunteering and preparing for some upcoming Christmas travel for snowboarding and ice skating!
Thank goodness for the physical activities because around here, it's been all treats,cookies, and fancy froo froo coffees and cocktails. In short, the calories are abundant! I need some extra movement!
Which brings me to today's blog and video topic - I encourage you to take a moment and plan some family memory making activities so the focus is on engaging with each other in a meaningful way versus just zeroing in on a store bought gift.
Ideas such as:
1. Taking a family walk to "eye spy" a Christmas item
2. Walking/bicycling/driving a neighborhood for lights
3. Christmas cookie bake off and then trade doing an old fashioned cake walk with music
4. Go caroling to a neighbor and bring some of those cookies to gift
5. Hand make cards for one another using items in the house then share with a quick message of what you appreciate about that person
There are so many ways to make a memory without spending a lot
Thank you for tuning in today! If it's your first time here, welcome! If you are returning, welcome back!
This video is a short word of encouragement to help you focus on what's good that's going on in a busy holiday season.
From me to you - a very merry Christmas! Now go make some great memories!
Remember: you are beautiful!

Today I have a wee sneak peek into what's coming for the Christmas season with Wild Spirit Fragrances. I received this as a gift from the brand and I just had to share!
Expect this to be coming into stores in the next couple of weeks. If you need a unique gift for a co-worker, teacher, girl scout troop leader, mail lady, sister, friend or yourself, give this!
You may think it's too early for a holiday post - but no - actually it's not. Why you say? Because the clock is ticking! The days from here on to the first week of January are going to go by fast and fill up - so, start on that shopping list!
Now, this brand is a new best favorite of mine. It's a healthy fragrance with no funky stuff in it, like phtalates and parabens! It is made in the USA and easily available at Walmart and Walmart.com
The base of these scents are essential oils. You can wear one, or mix and match. Fragrance is the ultimate accessory!
This video shows you the upcoming holiday gift package that is going to be in stores soon. So watch the video and then get ready to find in stores!

HI ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday! Oh these days are good and so short! So while I'm in and out of the office and on the road this week, I have some wee impact filled videos for you.
This review is of the book The Collagen Glow by Sally Olivia Kim.
Using collagen as a supplement is great for anti-aging from the inside out. But! Did you know that if you have arthritis, leaky gut syndrome you fellow Hashimoto thyroid friends, knee pain, joint pain, helps treat heart disease - yup - collagen supplements are for you!
p.s. Before we get into the video - this is how I really feel about Monday today. I usually love it - but lately, I have gone too hard, too fast, for too long! I'm tired!
Today I have a short book review video for you about the benefits of using collagen supplements. The Collagen Glow book by Sally Olivia Kim is a packed with recipes and result driven strategy in healing with collagen.
I have gathered some beauty resources for you and the upcoming Valentine's day celebrations, soirees and shin digs you will be a part of!
I like Valentine's day, but I still think it's a made up holiday to help retail businesses give their bottom line a boost in the beginning of the fiscal year.
So get ready to meet the new matte lipsticks from Rimmel London, some amazing fragrance choices from FragranceNet.com and a great affordable translucent powder ready for a night out or travel from Hard Candy Cosmetics!
Life is happening pretty fast around here and Thanksgiving is now 24 mere hours away meaning that the busiest shopping day, *ahem* weekend bleeding over into Monday is now upon us.
Shop Small is November 29th, though I encourage you to begin to "shop small" now. Why? Because crafters and artisans can not stamp out their creations by the 100's at a time.
Like this lil beauty, these glass berries are gorgeous and remind me of my Pandora bracelet of charms. If anyone wants to get me a new bracelet full of berries, then by all means do!

Once your baby arrives you can say so long to those long, DIY pampering sessions (or heck, even showering on a regular basis). But even if you haven't seen a shampoo bottle in days and you're covered in spit-up, you can smell good. Here's how.
It's never too early to start planning a Valentine's day scent strategy-or planning to put healthy body products like those made by Lavanila into your every day body care.
I love fragrance and I like this even better knowing that it is a healthy fragrance free of parabens and toxic chemicals-it's pure vanilla and passion fruit essences in a handy purse size roller ball that won't spill. Plus the oil base heats up on your skin and makes the fragrance last even longer.
