Color Street

My new beauty obsession is Color Street!!! I love putting on polish and have found memories of watching my mom putting on her red nail polish as a kid. With that said regular nail polish never lasted. Within a day of traditional nail polish was already chipping within a day. My high school days were all about the acrylics.

Skincare in Your 40's

Skincare in Your 40’s

As the season’s change so does my skincare. When I hit my 40’s it became more about hydration and glow to my skin. First things first; skin prep is where it is at.

Here are my skincare steps that I do…

Life &Working Out After Surgery

Life has been interesting after my most recent hand surgery but I am adjusting to asking for help when needed.  The biggest adjustment was getting used to only having one hand. Sounds east right? Those simple things we take for granted such as tying and fixing your hair to washing dishes. Oh let us not forget this momma loves to move, so modifying my workouts was big for me.
