The MakeUp Bar has been every Oklahoma City beauty addict's haven for 13 years. They have been the spot to go to for everything beauty, from big names like Nars and Chantecaille to new up can coming brands like Honestly Margo {wink!}. One line that they are the EXCLUSIVE retailers in the state is Serenity+Scott. It's always great to come across a cosmetic line that has great pigment, that has a feel of glamour and ultra luxury, but doesn't … [Read more...]
Be On Purpose. Simply Said.
I'd like to call today Meaningful Monday. It's so easy to get sidetracked... and I really haven't gotten sidetracked so much as just let myself bloom more into what I'm supposed to be doing. Evolving so to speak. Which is following my passions. But it's also inline with what this is all about. Being On Purpose. When I started my blog over 2 years ago, I was so excited to share inspirational thoughts and ideas with the world, to believe in … [Read more...]

Honestly Healing
True story... (not that any of my stories are UNtrue... just sayin...) I received a message a few days ago that gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. I had to share this with all of you because I'm passing this message on as an unbiased product review from one person who wished to remain anonymous, but clearly it's something so small that made such a difference in her world. Let's call my friend "Sue". Sue is a middle aged … [Read more...]
