Lovin' overalls this Summer Season!!!

So, I know when you think overalls, you think of being 5 years old on the playground! Lol! But, ladies, believe it or not, they are back in style, especially overall shorts!! I just bought a pair from Goodwill for only $5 to try and emulate the pic below from Pintrest! What do you girls think, all over it?! Or they can stay in the 90's?!

It's Vacation Season! What's the best travel wear?

Traveling is loads of fun, but the journey there can often times be exhausting (I know because I'm road tripping now as I type!). Whether it be a road trip in the car, a fight, a train ride or the bus, everyone wants to be comfortable. But somehow, for many, comfort has become synonymous with sluggish. Sweat pants. T-shirts. Flip flops. No ma'am. There is no better time to be MORE COMFORTABLE and CUTE than the summer months. What's my go to travel outfit? A flowy knee length dress or cute maxi dress with flat sandals that easily slip off (great for going thru airport security or making yourself comfy in the car), and a light jacket/sweater or scarf for cool conditions. Voila! Super cute and extremely comfortable. Style does not have to be compromised for the sake of comfort, ladies! Happy travels and be responsible and safe!

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all who selflessly serve our country to allow us to experience the freedoms we so often take for granted. Thank you!

Pretty Summer Makeup: Orange Lips and Cheeks

Hey ladies! As seasons change, take that as an opportunity to experiment with new looks. New fashion trends, hair styles, or a new makeup look! Trying new looks can be intimidating, but it's also a lot of fun! Versatility, variety and change is one of the perks of being a woman; we are constantly evolving! Check out the new look and let me know how you like it!

Summer 2013: Black & White is IN!!!!

Summer Trend 2013
So, it is official, like a referee with a whistle! Black and white, are two of the official colors for Summer 2013! When the NEWS first broke, I was surprised because when you think of summer, one thinks of bright and vibrant colors. However, that is not the case for 2013. This summer, not only is it black and white, but it  black and white STRIPES! Therefore, I had to go make a purchase to start my collection immediately! I went to Ross and bought a pair of shorts (pictured below) and they were only $7.99! Gotta love Ross! :) So, what do you all think of the black and white? Too simple? I think I like it because you can always add a pop of COLOR!

Smooth and Glowing Skin

As the weather gets warmer, hemlimes are getting shorter! It's time to bare our legs and arms in shorts, skirts, dresses, tanks and pretty blouses! Before you bare all that skin, preparations are needed! My three simple tips?

1. A great body scrub

Scrubs can be really expensive, so I make my own. Use sugar or salt (salt is cheaper) and a body oil of your choice. I've used the basic baby oil to argan oil to coconut oil. It's really personal preference. Scrub that over wet skin and rinse. Your skin will feel brand new!

2. A great razor!

I use Gillette's Venus razor. A little pricey, but an absolutely amazing razor! Super close shave and NO CUTS!! I use the scrub as my shaving cream for an extra smooth finish!

3. Moisturizer

The final step in achieving smooth, glowing skin is moisturizing your skin! I've been using Keri lotion for years and it's AMAZING!  I've recently tried a new product, Vaseline body gel, and it's pretty awesome too (thanks for the recommendation Carrin)!
My next moisturizing product to experiment with? Vaseline's Spray and Go! Just picked it up today. I'll keep you guys posted on what I think.

Stick with these three simple steps and your skin will be smooth, glowing and turning heads! :)
