Eat This: Taquito Pockets
These pockets of goodness, morsels of warm delight, oh my goodness is all I can say! Sometimes the best recipes and creations come by happenstance. Such is the case with these. So I did what I normally do on taco nights. I buy my ground meat and make a big batch of taco meat to have for everyone to eat as they please. I get crunchy shells, corn tortillas, flour tortillas, provolone cheese to make THESE No Carb Taco Shells, and of course … [Read more...]
My Skin Care Regimen Revealed
When I turned 30, I was very On Purpose with a huge personal goal for myself. I know that I wanted to take good care of myself so that when I turned 40 I didn't look 40. And continue that on so that when I turn 50, I didn't look 50. I always was into my skin care, but from then on, I really made it a focus. I think it has somewhat paid off! So far I think my skin looks pretty good for my age because people comment on it all the time. So … [Read more...]
Beauty Review: VIIcode Eye Cream
Most of you who know me by now know that one of the things I love is beauty. Anti-aging has been long on my radar since I turned 30, and I've always had the mentality of taking a proactive approach to the aging process since then. I thought to myself, when I turn 40, I don't want to look 40. When I turn 50, I don't want to look 50. So I'm always open to exploring new products to be ahead of the game and age as gracefully as I can. One of … [Read more...]
My Makeup Routine Revealed! Product lineup plus makeup tutorial
Oh no she didn't. Oh yes she did. Yup. I FINALLY did it. One of my most requested things. A makeup tutorial. I finally jumped in and shared it. I don't have a professional set up, not a full time vlogger, but I did grab a chair, set up my laptop camera, and away we went, together, on a live video, as I got ready this past Saturday morning. I EVEN in fact, fixed a little bit of my hair on camera as well. I didn't put this gem of a … [Read more...]

My Favorite Highlighters To Glow All Year
We don't have to be in the summer months to glow. As much as I try to hang on to summer for as long as I can, I will always always want to reach for that golden glow. When you can't get the sun, go for the highlighters right? It's about how the light hits our face and gives us that "been in the sun" glow... even if we don't have that golden been-to-the-tropics tan! LOL! I'm going to share some pictures with you so you can see more of … [Read more...]

3 Ingredient Cellulite Scrub plus other miracle workers
I think some of us have the curse and others don't. Some have more than others, some have less than others. But the older I get, my body's skin texture is something I'm very aware of and want to keep as tight as can be. Especially in the rear and thigh zone, and in preparation for swimsuit season, it was high on my radar. Cellulite. That's like a four letter word when it comes to our body! HA! I don't have it bad, but I have a little. … [Read more...]

Simple Glam Makeup Tutorial
Sometimes less is more. And sometimes glam needs to be glam. But not always does glam have to be complicated. I recently had a formal evening out and wanted a glam sleek look. Of course as overly abundantly scheduled I've been lately, booking a hair and makeup appointment was something I looked over. And I will say that I've been blessed by an amazing mom who was in beauty for over 40 years. I grew up as a little girl in awe of her beauty … [Read more...]

Drugstore Beauty Favorites
I'm so excited to share some of my beauty must haves with you. What's even more exciting about today's post is I'm sharing products that you can find at the drugstore, my drugstore beauty favorites. One of my vices, I will admit, is spending lots of time in the beauty aisles at the store, all when I ran in to get ingredients for dinner and maybe some school supplies for the kids!

Longer Lashes In One Month
I haven't had my makeup professionally done, all but maybe just a few times. And one of the things about having my makeup done that I've fallen in love with is false eyelashes. I don't know what it is about them that I'm kinda obsessed with them. Not so much the false lashes as much as the longer lashes on my eyes themselves. I tried wearing "falsies" by applying them myself. It didn't look the best. But the one thing that came from each … [Read more...]
