Flirty Fun "A piece of clothing should be like a work of art." Rosita Missoni Inspiration and creativity are the cornerstone of any great endeavor or idea. I learned in my youth that they are several ways to achieve a goal. If you want the Bogner ski jumpsuit then you need to work.  There wasn't any other path to getting what I wanted.  So I worked during high school making money for what I desired and for college. And, felt fulfilled in achieving my goals. Additionally, many believe that if you always follow the path prescribed then you will achieve the outcome you desire.  For instance, if I get good grades, follow the education system for college dotting all the i's and t's as demanded along the way, I will be very successful.  Is this true?  For many yes, yet others who follow a slightly different path can become extraordinary. Take Bill Gates, who didn't finish college but followed his passion instead.  We all know the outcome. Th...

Cover Thy Face! "The most beautiful face in the world?  It's your's" Estee Lauder Sunshine, swim suits, shorts, capri's, strappy sandals and white tee shirts are indeed staples of summer fun.  Additionally, a flirty and fabulous hat or two is essential for beauty and protection.  It is important to protect your skin.   Now, I know we all love the sun and the feel of the glorious rays on our skin. We crave it and need it.   However, too long in the sun can have disastrous results that leave us looking like a lobster and overly baked.  More importantly, your skin becomes dry, wrinkled and splotchy.   We all know where this story goes.  Let's be protective and respectful of the sun and our bodies which we live in.   Here is my favorite brand of sun hats for the upcoming dog days of summer.  Eric Javits  High quality, excellent 95% UV/UVA sun protection, packable and naturally stylish. ...

May - Spring Flowers - New Beginnings "A life without rain is like sun without shade." After the Rain   by Karen White Spring is here with gentle breezes, rainy skies, sun peaking through and flowers in the birth of bloom.  It is indeed a wonderful and delightful time of year.  Fresh, new and thoroughly uplifting.  Are you ready for change?  There will always be "moments" in life when friendships falter and people depart from this planet to a new plane.  As I write this piece, my mother has passed away.  There are a myriad of emotions that I am dealing with at this point. My brothers have been called, my friends have been told and I am beginning to deal with future change.  First, I must live in the present and go through the grief and will indeed find the sun at the end.  My mother had a challenging life and was difficult though at times charming to all.  I have been a caretaker for decades in more ways than on...

The Professional Touch Wins Professional VERSUS Weekend Glamour YOU DECIDE Are you going out with friends for a special night?  Or having to present in front of a group or maybe you just want to appear polished?  Jeans are fantastic, versatile and comfortable yet do not always garner instant respect or come off as professional.   A pair of black ankle pants combined with a colorful blouse provides an instant tailored ensemble that is memorable.    I can hear some of you reading this, "It doesn't matter what I wear, it really doesn't. Seriously. I just want to look like everyone else"   However, newsflash, what you wear, how you hold yourself, how you speak conveys who you are.  Are you self confident?  Do you respect others?  Do you respect the event?  Are you a leader?  Or are you a follower?  Do you just conform and copy everyone else?  Or do you follow the road less traveled?  Do...

Sunday, March 3, 2019 Christian Dior Lip Balm's are amazing.  Lip Color Reviving Lip Balm  hydrates, soften, in many shades and reacts to the unique chemistry of your own lips.  Can be used over or under lipstick or just alone. I have been using for years. They now have an expanded line of decadent hues.  Additionally, I just found out about the next generation of lip balms that contain a pearly glow.  The Lip Glow to the Max Hydration formula contains light-reflecting pearlescent pigments for a richer look.  Swipe over a red lip with the glowing balm and notice the subtle highlights that spring forth.    Both formulas contain mango butter to moisturize and protect throughout the day.   I am obsessed with both formulas.
