Style for Real Life
Sandal and flip flop weather is here and it's not going away anytime soon. But my feet aren't looking so pretty! So much dry skin, so little time for pedicures. To help my feet to be their prettiest, I need to exfoliate. Of course, moisturizing is very important and using heavy duty lotions … [Read more...]
Did you ever wonder how people figure out which colors are "in" for the season? I used to assume it was all decided by what showed up on the runways and then what ended up on the racks. Some seasons the colors work for me and some seasons they don't! It turns out that color trends are … [Read more...]

Spring is rapidly approaching, so I think it's time for a little Spring cleaning. Now put that dustcloth down, I'm talking about your makeup! How often do you go through your makeup and throw things away? Did you know that old makeup can cause acne, skin irritation, and even eye infections? … [Read more...]
Growing up with Aqua Net gave me a love for hairspray and over the years I have tried many! Pumps, aerosols, extra hold, flexible hold, volumizing, anti-frizz, finishing, freezing - oh so many choices. But my favorite over the last 10 + years has been good old Sebastian Shaper hairspray (though … [Read more...]
