In Need of a Spring Break Lippie? Try the New Essence Cosmetics Butter Stick Lip Gloss

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh wow! Long time no chit chat! I am doing my best to get a post up on Monday - and here it is...Wednesday! My deep apologies! Though, I have good reason for missing the deadline.

I have been pressing forward in media and film making and I have a new short film, that is a family friendly positive encouraging "got get 'em" attitude of a story!

I'm so excited for 8 Days in Havasu to release on Amazon March 15th!

I took my samples from Essence Cosmetics - by the way, thank you very much Essence Cosmetics for these lovely samples! I loved mine, and then I took them to set to show the talent, and they loved too!

I'm short some colors because the talent loved!

So I have two videos for you - a lil vignette from the beach shoot with talent Leah Nead and also the full review from me






This video features these new matte and glossy shea butter infused lip "sticks"! These are available at Ulta Beauty or through the Essence Cosmetics website and average $3.99! I received these as free samples for a review and I'm so glad I got to try them! The colors featured in the video are: strawberry, dark syrup, hot cocoa, berry gold and the dark glossy brown did not have a name on it! I used these in my latest film, 8 Days in Havasu with lead actress Leah Nead! You can see her video on the Facebook page, http://facebook.com/8DaysinHavasu

Shea Moisture healing soaps: African Black Soap Eczema & Psoriasis Therapy

Hello Beautiful,
I sure hope you are enjoying a relaxing Sunday. I had shabbat on Friday night, so after church this morning it is my goal to clean out the garden. All the old summer growth has to be pulled out and then the dirt turned over and fed so it can lay fallow for the winter to be ready for some fatty patty pan squashes next spring!

While I am out gardening, I have a wee bit to share about one of my favorite body care brands. In fact, SheaMoisture turned me back on to bar soaps after being a fervent liquid bath soap user for years!

This is a TotalBeauty.com diet article If you deal with seasonal allergies, you probably think springtime blooms are to blame for your sneezing and wheezing. But nutritionist Monica Hershaft says the real cause of your symptoms is more likely your (weak) immune system. Here are the simple diet tweaks that'll help you fight those annoying allergy symptoms -- without meds. Get diet tips

Hello Gorgeous!

I love products that are good and do good at the same time.

The Bead for Life Shea Butter products are amazing in rich texture and high quality shea butter but better yet, it is a life sustaining product for the women of Uganda.

In Uganda the shea nut is known as 'women's gold'. When you purchase a soap or peppermint lip balm, you are helping hundreds of impoverished women ear income and rise out of poverty.


The soap and lip balm are luxurious!Just think that as you are using a natural product on your children and self you are helping a mom on the other side of the world help hers!

The ladies of Uganda along with Bead For Life also make jewelery-I sampled soap, but the photos of the hand made beads that are formed into necklaces, earrings and bracelets are beautiful too!

Please visit the website http://www.beadforlife.org/ and learn about how you can help and there are several ways to get involved.

Brides & Prom gals: get some Tree Hut Hawaiian Kukui

What's Your Ideal Smoky Eye Look? Find Out!

Take this quiz to find the perfect sultry eye makeup for your eye shape

Smoky eye makeup is hot almost every season, but especially for spring, so answer these questions to find out how to make the look work for you. Take quiz

Hello brides to be! Gals getting ready for prom and the rest of us who need to get our feet in the best sandal ready shape ever! I recently tried a sample of the Tree Hut Hawaiian Kukui collection and must say it's lovely!

The sugar scrub does a very soft exfoliation so it removes dead skin cells and softens while lightly scenting all at once! The shea body lotion is very lightweight and absorbs into the skin.

Shea butter is so healing to the skin so if you have winter dryness and need to get ready for your wedding or prom, now is the time to start exfoliating with a sugar body scrub and reapplying much needed oils and moisture in a lotion.

Something worth noting: Tree Hut uses certified organic shea in every product and are known for having perfected the art of using it in each product they make! There are no parabens, it's made in the United States of America and it's easy to get! Just visit your local Walmart or Ulta store.

Psst! I have even seen a four pack of Tree Hut shea body butters in my local Costco...maybe look in yours?
