Winter is always murder on my already weak nails and cuticles. I was not born blessed with great nails. In fact I bit them the first 10 years of my life. That was until I saw a picture of myself lunching on them and that was gross enough to make me stop. I inherited my grandmother’s weak nails and no matter what nail hardener I tried in those days, they would break easily. It drove me crazy.
Today is not only Good Friday, it’s National Fragrance Day! So of course I had to do a little research on some of the hottest fragrances for Spring/Summer ’16. Now keep in mind, I’m a little biased when it comes to perfumes. I don’t like anything cloyingly sweet, woodsy or really heavy. If the description says it has notes of “patchouli” I run screaming in the other direction.
My perfume preferences, especially when it comes to the warmer months, are light florals, clean greens and fruits. Oh and I’m a sucker for roses, which you will see by my selections. Hopefully at least one of these picks will be of interest.
Believe it or not I’ve actually been asked what I carry in my makeup bag. Probably because it’s usually jam packed or it could just be idle curiosity. Now keep in mind these are the items I carry everywhere with me. What I use on a daily basis to have my makeup ready is for another post – another time.
Who really wants to go under the knife in the name of maintaining a youthful appearance? Not me. It’s not to say I wouldn’t consider it, but fillers have come such a long way, I don’t feel the need to run out and do anything drastic, painful and expensive. At least not yet. So when I heard of the non-surgical BaseLift developed and perfected by Dr. Bracci at Verve Medical Cosmetics I had to learn everything about it!
Spring is nearly here and it’s time to think about updating our hair as well as our wardrobes! Sassoon Salon (where both Carol and I go for our cuts and color) recently launched their Spring/Summer 16 Collection named TORQUE which encourages us to change up our highlights and cuts. So what’s the trend this spring?
