Signature Smokey Eye

Leave a comment

I know there have been a billion tutorials on smokey eyes but I thought I would share my signature smokey eye.  Perfect for a night out but not too overdone- I try to avoid looking like a raccoon!  Primer is so important and just finding the right browns or grays to make the look work.  If you have light hair- browns and purples are softer than blacks and grays. A colored liner also adds an extra pop! 🙂

Little Treasures

For a pirate, finding gold in the sea may be finding treasures, but for fashionistas, finding awesome, unique finds are true treasures to us, right?  So I decided, when I come across something extra special or just plain cool, I will share these “little treasures” with you.  Please share your little treasures as well!

Glitter Me Fabulous

There is something magic about glitter.  I think it’s the whole idea of fairy-tale dust & just feeling super fabulous when you are wearing some extra sparkle.  I have managed to glitter pretty much everything I own from my eyes to my cupcakes.  Yes, I’ve been pretty glittery lately.  Next time someone asks me how I am doing, I am going to say, “Glittery.” 🙂

Surprising Power Foods

Leave a comment

Antioxidants are so important to our health to fight off infections, illness, and to just keep our bodies healthier in general.  We all know that blueberries & green tea are power foods, but I did some more digging to find out which other foods are high in antioxidants and very delicious.

Honey, dark chocolate, popcorn and red wine all made the list… sounds good to me!
