Stuff I Really Love

I am a total girly-girl and to me, there is nothing better than finding and sharing a good beauty product. I am by no means a "product junkie" but there are certain things that I really, really love. Here are a few things I'm totally loving right now:

1. Silk Elements Deep Conditioner: I deep condition my hair once a week with a plastic cap under the dryer for 20 minutes. Some protein based products give me a fit, but not this one. My hair feels strong and I don't experience any breakage. 2. Organic Root Stimulator Glossing Polisher: I just started using this product because my hair lacked shine. Just a small drop does the job. The package says to use with heat (curling iron or flat iron) for optimal results but I don't use alot of heat on my hair and I still get the shine that I'm looking for.
3. Flexirods: I'm in the middle of a relaxer stretch and I workout at least 6 times a week, so I've had to sacrifice cute hairstyles. Usually during the week, I'll put my hair in a bun but on the weekends after a shampoo I'll air dry and then roll it up with flexirods. They produce a really soft, bouncy curl that reminds me that I am still cute.




4. MAC Fix +: I bought this stuff ages ago and had no idea what it was for. Why did I buy it? Because those girls at the MAC counter are great at their jobs. Anyway, I finally figured it out ... I use the MAC Studio Fix powder foundation but sometimes the look seems too matte and at the end of the day my face looks dull. Now, I just apply a few sprays of the Fix + and my complexion is all dewy and pretty. I love it!








5. Diorshow Mascara: This is the best mascara that I have ever used. Ever! My lashes appear so much longer and with no clumping. I love this stuff.





What are some of your favorite beauty products?

The Beauty

I grew up in Connecticut. There is nothing more beautiful than Autumn in Connecticut. It's breathtaking.

I now live in Virginia. For the last seventeen years I have been complaining that Autumn doesn't even exist in Virginia. The leaves don't change. They just go from green to brown to dead and gone.

Then this year, it was as if God spoke to me and said, "If you would stop complaining and open your eyes you would see the beauty that is surrounding you! Look at what I have made for you!"





















































No more complaints. Just overwhelming gratitude.


Thank you.
