I have lost a friend and fellow Hair and Makeup Artist this weekend. Cindy Rae you created beauty in this world not only in your work but with the example of light, joy and strength you shared. I will do my best to follow your example and be brave enough to savor each and every day. The world is dimmer without your light.

My earth shattering skin changing discovery

I have tested so many lotions, creams and serums I should have a degree. From drug store brands to some so expensive I should have worn them on my finger because they cost more then most of my jewelry.
I wish I could say I found a one size fits all that will make us all have skin like we did when we were babies but no such luck.

If you told me I would be rolling tiny needles across my face I’d say your crazy but after seeing how well it works I’m hooked!
I could see results even after the first time!
Rodan and Fields AMP MD is my new favorite addiction .

Wake up smooth

If frizzy hair or wrinkles are on your worry list you will love this simple solution. Get a silk or satin pillow case. Waking with creases from cotton pillow cases didn’t bother me when I was younger because they disappeared in seconds, now I cross my fingers they are gone by noon. Cotton can zap moisture from your skin and hair. The texture of silk keeps your hair smooth and your face crease free.

New for 2014 spring

After this long grey winter some bright sunshine lip color is just what I need . Don’t be afraid of trying this 2014 trend . Just like red everyone can wear it. You just need to find your perfect shade. If your olive try tangerine, Milky ivory try melon. If you are nervous about jumping in use a nude pencil or lipstick and splash a shear coral lipgloss on.

I love Bobbi Browns Nectar and nude collection.
