You make me BLUSH!!

It took me years to find that perfect shade of blush to wear without looking like.....those women we all know. Little did I know it is super easy if you have the right tools and education on getting it just right! Your skin tone is your guide for selecting the perfect shade and color!
If your skin has cool undertones, stick with mauves and cool pinks. This is to avoid having creamy skin with cheeks that look like grandma kissed you before you left the house! This is MAC Powder Blush in Dame.
If your skin has warm undertones, choose more earth toned colors.  Look for hints of orange in the color, this will complement your warm tone skin the best! This is my personal favorite blush, I do not leave the house without it on! It's a cream blush that literally stays on all day called FreshMelon by Bobbi Brown. 
If your skin has neutral undertones, choose colors like rose, coral and sandalwood to bring out your rosy cheeks. These colors will bring out your features and show off your strong feminine features! This specific blush has the perfect pallet to let you look camera ready anytime, its Lancome Desert Rose blush in Island Horizon.

Fresh & Clean

The flu is no joke this season! It's hit like drama queen with a grudge, and getting in its way can leave you in bed for a few days. No fun. We know that washing your hands and sanitizing your work space can be great ways to protect yourself against the nasty bug. But I found a great juice to help boost your immune system and flush out the toxins that are building up inside of you.

Ingredients:

-1 apple with peeling, cored (to wash toxins out of your body)
- 1 cup of kale (chlorophyll kick starts your digestive tract, removing pesticides and environmental toxins)
- 1 stalk of celery (blood cleanser)
- 1/3 cup parsley or cilantro (rids the body of mercury)
- 1tbsp group flax seeds or chia seeds (omega-3s)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups chilled water

Blend or juice until smooth and serve over ice!
Now your on your way to a happy and healthy winter season. =)

Va Va Volume

Most people love to part their hair to a specific side, and they will usually keep it that way for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, it is weakening the hair on the opposite side. When you flip your hair constantly, you are actually pulling the hair and causing breakage. You need to keep your hair strong and well nourished. We want to look full all around! 


When following these steps, make sure to give that specific side a little extra love so the opposite side that you flip will look voluminous and full just like the other side!
