Feeling Beautiful with Skintimate

Feeling Beautiful with Skintimate

I made my legs happy with Skintimate as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SkintimateStars though all opinions are my own. Judging by this photo you can probably already tell that I have a very complicated Beauty Routine. Between skin care, color correcting, highlight and contouring, and adding eyeshadow it sorta “takes a village” to help me look presentable in the morning. I’m a firm a believer in the phrase “Beauty Comes from Within”. Women spend so much time and money hoping that there is a magic product that will make the look and feel beautiful, yet what they…

The Hit and Misses of Studded Kisses from Kat Von D.

I’m kind of surprised that I’m so late to get hip to the Kat Von D craze.

Top Ten Tuesday: Essential MakeUp Brushes

Top Ten Tuesday: Essential MakeUp Brushes

So how many Make Up Brushes does one really need to create an every day face? Foundation Brushes, Eye Brushes, Lip Brushes, and there are even brushes for brows. Do you need to own one for every single thing? I say not at all! For me, there’s only ten as I try to use brushes that have dual purposes. Make Up Brushes come in various shapes and sizes and have a particular fit for certain applications but the beauty is that not all brushes were created equal and no brush has only one job so I can use a brush…

Fresh from the Garden: Zucchini Soup

Fresh from the Garden: Zucchini Soup

      This summer was the first time I tried my hand at growing my own Zucchini and Squash and I’ll admit it’s been one huge lesson after another. Next year, I think I’m going to stick with Zucchini as it’s proven to be a bit more prolific than the squash and we’ve been getting Zucchini that are absolute whoppers. One of my favorite recipes to make from all our Zucchini, beside the Zucchini Nachos has been Zucchini soup.  When I posted a picture of the bowl of soup on Instagram a while back it was received very well…
