Makeup Tutorial And Tips Over 40 One of the perks of being a hairstylist is that I can color my own hair using professional hair products. I've been a licensed Cosmetologist for over 27 years. I not only learned about hair but nails, skincare and makeup too. Recently I shared this photo below on my Instagram page and had lots of nice comments asking if I could share a makeup tutorial. It wasn't an easy decision to share a makeup tutorial. I knew that I would have to share my face without makeup. But I decided to go ahead and share my routine. This may give me the confidence I need to share more on my YouTube channel. The thing is I've always been more comfortable with makeup on. I don't know why, I guess I have insecurities like everyone else. I know that I'm not perfect, but makeup ... View Post

The Day I Almost Lost My Husband Why Our Marriage Is Strong
On Sunday Valentine's day I shared on my blog and on my business Facebook page that I don't celebrate Valentine's day. I had someone on my Facebook page that was very upset about the fact that I said I don't celebrate Valentine's day. I think she saw it as a negative. I know that I don't need to explain myself, but I'm going to anyway. This is one of the hardest posts I have ever had to write. It brings back the memories of a day that changed our lives forever!

Updating A Teen Bedroom Stage One
Three years ago, wow that's hard to believe! Anyway, as I was saying, three years ago I updated my daughter's bedroom. I'd love to say that my daughter had some input in her bedroom, but she said do whatever you want. So I did! We painted her bedroom the same color as the rest of our house, added new furniture that I painted. Bought new to us bedding from the thrift store, made a lamp, and updated her makeup bench. It's pretty much stayed the same for three years. My daughter is 16 and will be 17 this year, so it was time for another update. We need to stick to a budget, so I am going to update her room using mostly what we already have. Her furniture is staying, but it will all get a fresh coat of paint. I'll be looking at thrift stores for curtains and bedding. I'll be ... View Post
