Here are some Mother's Day gift ideas for you... I selected a … [Read more...]
Matte Nails
I have a confession to make. I'm a sucker when it comes to going to Target, CVS, Walgreen's, and I pass a great lip or nail display. It's very very hard for me to leave empty handed. There. I said it and got it off my chest. So needless to day I have a buffet of nail polish and lipsticks, all very close in color. Who relates here? You know what I'm talking about and you know who you are! {wink!} So I picked up this pale pink Essie … [Read more...]
My Life In Pictures
So being #OnPurpose as I am, I've got to keep it real, right? So that's what I'm talking about today. Keeping it real. You guys know I wear many hats...

TBT: Market, Parties and Headbands
When I find brands with great style, I love to keep up with them. And when they are things so many of us ladies could use and wear and love, how can I not share it with the world! So today is a #TBT to earlier this month when I got to visit with Elizabeth, owner of Jolie. We connected in Atlanta market in January when I was there helping Honestly Margo with her business. Both Margo and I were obsessed with the loveliness … [Read more...]

Pantone Color of the Year 2015 Marsala
In case you hadn't heard, the Pantone Color of the Year for 2015 is Marsala. I'm super in love with this color. It's warm, it's rich, I think it goes on almost anyone, it's natural, it's elegant and sophisticated. And it's appealing to both men and women (way more so than radiant orchid, no?) From Pantone: "Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a … [Read more...]

Bold Beautiful Brows
Growing up, I always wanted to pluck my eyebrows. At the time, I felt I had been cursed with the bushiest biggest eyebrows a girl could have. My mom would not let me pluck them. She told me about how she plucked hers way back when, when the style was thin, and she regretted it. Plus, Brooke Shields was the hot beauty and fashion icon at the time, and she kept telling me how I had the same eyebrows. Well, needless … [Read more...]

The Perfect Palette
I have to admit when it comes to make up, I'm pretty simple. I don't experiment lots with different colored eye shadows. Pretty much I feel like a clown. I love to see it on others, and maybe I need to step outside my box and play more with color for my eyes. but for the most part, I keep it simple to nude palettes. Imagine that! So today I'm sharing what I've been using as of late and I can't say enough about these and I have to share … [Read more...]
Bubble Gum Goodness
For those of you who don't know, I have a 14 year old (yes now 14 as of yesterday) daughter who, when she was younger always was trying to find ways to make money. Literally getting on my computer and googling "ways to make money 10 year old". I'm not kidding. Fast forward, she has now created her own lip balms and is the creator of Honestly Margo, a natural lip balm company. You can see more about it HERE. Anyhoo, she has a limited number … [Read more...]
Grooming Goodies
".... and don't forget to wash your face and brush your teeth before bed!" Mother's famous words, right? Well, this weekend marks the celebration of lil miss's birthday in the family. And with that came a small gathering of the girls. Now, as I prepare for a house full of estrogen to sleep over, I'm thinking LORD WHEN DOES THIS END?

Nails in the Nude
One of this season's trending colors is a blush, dusty rose, nude. In fashion and in beauty. Personally, those of you who know me know that nude lips is my classic favorite. For the past few months, I've been loving my Essie, Spin the Bottle, but I found a few others that I couldn't live without. These are great natural subdued tones that are classic and ready for fall. I kinda … [Read more...]
Fabulous Hair Skin Nails
You guys know I only talk about things that I LOVE and things that I've TRIED and used and prepared and made. All opinions are genuinely my own. And I am VERY transparent and tell you like it is.

I began to notice maybe earlier this year something that I NEVER thought would happen. Like EVER. I noticed my hair beginning to … [Read more...]
Beauty: Miracle Gel Nails
I wish I was one of those girls who do gel and shellac nails. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those. The acetone just TOTALLY wears on my nails, making them brittle and weak. Pretty sad. This isn't the first time I've shared my desire for the gel nail... in fact, I'm all about trying alternatives, and I did one HERE. I confess... I'm a beauty junkie, and especially when it comes to going to the the drugstore, I fight buying more nail … [Read more...]
