  Yesterday was National Lipstick Day! 💄   Besides mascara and eyeshadow, lipstick is my favorite form of makeup. For me, it's a welcomed pop of color, a mood boost, and it pulls my look together!  ⭐Fun Fact: Women who apply lipstick on a daily basis unintentionally tend to eat about 4 pounds of lipstick in their lifetime, 🤯 shocking?! In honor of National Lipstick Day, here's a selfie of me wearing my current favorite lipstick. It's Casual Rose by Mary Kay ! It's just the perfect amount of color, goes on smooth and it's ultra hydrating.  What's your favorite shade of lipstick?

  Hello Dolls,  The older I get, the more I prefer comfort. I like to keep my summer style comfortable and cool as possible. I do like to get really dressed up at times, but you will probably find me in an easy, flowy dress (like this one) and comfortable slides all summer. Being comfortable doesn't involve just my clothing, I like comfortable footwear too.  ️The Moira Oka-B sandals that I’m wearing are extremely comfortable. They’re a lot of reasons why I love them, but I’ll just list a few.  They’re 100% recyclable, have ample arch and heel support, made with soothing massage beads, (which is great for achy feet, like mine) and they’re slip-resistant. I wore them to an event last weekend, and I was surprised at how comfortable they were. I like the massaging bead feature the most. Usually by the end of the day, my feet are sore, but the massaging beads help to alleviate the soreness.  If you're curious  to find out more? Be sure to visit the Oka-B site,...

  Hi Dolls, #ad As some of you may know, I'm on an overall well-being journey. I'm working on enhancing my mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It's a struggle at times, but I'm learning to stay consistent. One of the things that is consistent in my journey is taking daily supplements. I've just added Goli Calm Bites to my regimen.  The Goli Ashwa is made with KSM-66Ⓡ Ashwagandha to help promote calmness, relaxation and help reduce stress…all the things that I need. Life can be hectic and chaotic, so sometimes I need a supplement to help me keep calm. ⁣ ⁣ The Details: Goli® Calm Bites do NOT contain artificial flavors, added preservatives or colors from artificial sources. The delicious chocolate acai flavor profile perfectly complements Ashwagandha and the other ingredients. The chocolate is really delicious. I was expecting a powdery, gritty taste; but they actually taste good.  Ashwagandha and Reishi Mushrooms are adaptogen...

Hello Dolls! One thing I love about warmer weather and summer approaching is enjoying outdoor activities. I attended a garden party over the weekend! Since I've never been to one before, I didn't know what to expect, but I was in for a treat!  I had such a nice time being surrounded by good company, beautiful weather, and serene ambiance.  We were able to observe a floral arrangement demonstration. The florist that held the demonstration was very accommodating and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions.  After watching the demo, we made our own arrangement!  All of the supplies such as: flowers, mason jars, aprons, shears, and decorations were provided for us. I added my favorite flower, hydrangeas; as well as roses, carnations and eucalyptus. I wanted to include soft colors in my arrangement, so I did. I like how it came out.   I really enjoyed the experience, it turned out to be fun and relaxing! I didn't know it would be therapeutic, ...

  Hi Dolls,  😀I’m finally getting out more. The weather is nicer, and my friends are wanting to do more, which is great. So that means, I can finally share with you all some of the places I’ve been going; and hopefully, (if you like them) you can visit them too. If you like artsy-fartsy experiences, then you might like the Artechouse. I visited the Artechouse in DC a few weeks ago. I had been wanting to go for years. The Artechouse offers cool, immersive exhibits that combine art + technology through out the year.  I love cherry blossom season, so I had to see the PIXELBLOOM exhibit. The exhibit was beautiful!   It put me into a calming, reflective state. Watching it reminded me of looking through a kaleidoscope when I was a kid.    I went with a friend. We had a good time watching the exhibit, taking pics and videos, and just talking.   The Artechouse has a cool cocktail bar that serves non-alcoholic and alcoholic  beverages. If you go to ...

  Art was my first love, I was the kid who always enjoyed getting a new box of crayons and paint sets as gifts. Now that I'm older, that hasn't changed much lol. My home is filled with coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, markers, gel pens and the like. Adult coloring has been one of my hobbies for some time. I've started and stopped, but I always come back to it. I just received some new goodies in the mail from Colo rit ! I haven't colored in a while, so I was so excited to receive this package, and I couldn't wait to try everything. I received the Blissful Scenes  and the Mandalas Volume IV coloring book, as well as the 48 Colored Gel Pen set . I'm pleasantly surprised with everything I received.  What I love about the coloring books: Blot sheet - Their coloring books have hardback covers, which are a good surface to color on - Detailed coloring pages - They include a blot sheet to prevent ink bleeding. This is very helpful, especially if you're usi...

  Hi Dolls! As part of my self care journey, I've been on a mission to improve my overall well-being...this includes mentally, physically, and emotionally. At this point in my life, I'm willing to try anything (within reason and legally) that improves my health. I've been coping with back pain for a while. I've tried a few measures to help with it, but nothing has eased the pain.  I remember a friend telling me a few years back about massages, and how they have helped her cope with ailments that she was dealing with. So, I thought why not try massage treatments. This took some convincing on my part, because I thought how was I going to afford this? Would I be able to commit to this long term?  For me, massages were always a luxury. Something that I wanted to do more of, but I convinced myself it wasn't a necessity. I would only get massages on vacation as a special treat to myself. Even though, I felt the physical benefits of it, I still convinced myself that I didn...
