Summer Lovin'

If you work hard, you will be rewarded. It may be tough some days, and you will want to give up...but hang in there!!!! I have given up so many gatherings, trips, and days at the beach...and looking back I am so thankful I put my time in to learn and work hard. Right now I feel so blessed. My future is unclear, but the glimpses I have had these past few months give me a strong feeling I am going to be LOVING my summer. I am prepared and determined to have the best summer of my life...everything is coming together. It took a while...sigh, lots of tears, sweat, and swollen little feet...but my dreams are coming true.
Remember, be determined, be passionate...and ALWAYS love what you do!!

Easter Essentials

When I was a child I looked forward to family gatherings and Holiday parties, I always planned my outfits with precision and thought long and hard about what I was going to wear for the occasion. While writing my blog, I realize not much has changed...getting dressed and doing your makeup is an art, it's how you want to present who you are to the world.

Easter is the perfect time to wear white, soft yellows, and pastel floral prints, it's the time to be excessively girly...but what about your makeup? Try picking light lavender shadows, go easy on the eyeliner and just spend a little more time on your lashes. Curl, prime, and apply 3 coats of mascara. Choose subtle pink hues for your lips and cheeks-Remember, you always want to match your lips and cheeks for a natural look. To see an example of these colors click here. Don't forget about your fragrance and nails, which are your greatest accessories!!

A look into my bathroom...

This week has been a bit busy for me...work has been crazier than normal, the house has been messier than normal...and James and I have been hitting the gym more regularly than normal-go figure, when I am the busiest I finally have time to take care of my body! I find that when I am the busiest I find the most time to take care of ME! Maybe it's my subconscious taking care of me...hmmm

I urge women to make time for themselves...you will feel healthier, happier, and more confidant to complete your tasks and duties! If you don't have time for massages, pedicures, and spa days use some of my favorites straight from my bathroom to make you feel like a princess on a schedule.



1. No time to wash your hair? Use Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. It's acts like a dry shampoo, it absorbs oils, while adding volume for a fancy effect.

2.Unite Boosta Spray, should be used on wet hair straight out of the shower. It adds volume without making the hair hard or stiff once dry. It smells divine, like your going on vacation to a tropical island...I bought mine at the Mona Lisa Salon in Los Gatos.



3. No time for a pedicure? Click Here to learn more about philosophy's soul owner.

4. Deborah Lippman's cuticle oil is a fast remedy for not so cute cuticles-without a mess.



5.For the past 5 years I have been addicted to Laura Mercier's body souffles and body scrubs...I put it on when I'm craving sweets! This past year Laura created the Creme de Pistache scent...It's scent can take over a crowded room and have people intoxicated with you. The scrub is delicate on the skin, and the cream is luxurious.



6. Fragrances are packed full of memories. Dior's "Miss Dior Cherie Eau de Parfum" takes me to my wedding... with top notes of green tangerine, strawberry leaves, and heart notes of violet, pink jasmine, caramelized popcorn, and strawberry sorbet. It's base notes are fresh patchouli, and crystalline musk.

What is your signature scent? What special moments do you think of when you wear a specific fragrance?



I hope you all find time to pamper yourselves this weekend!
