Beauty Happens: Pick up the phone

Pick up the phone

I received a call from a friend last night and we hadn't talked in probably 6 years. I was making dinner and unloading the dishwasher. I almost didn't pick up the call as I was busy. I am so that glad I did, we laughed while catching up for two hours. I thought after, how our visit took us to when we were 19 again and it was like we didn't skip a beat. It did my spirit so much good. Pick up the phone, those dishes aren't going anywhere and your family won't starve! Isn't it funny how time passes and we age but, our mind and thoughts can remain much the same. Therefor, transferring us straight back to some youthful place in time. I think that it's a great asset, being able to take age acquired wisdom and access that youthful past while moving into the future.

Keep your mind, body, and spirit healthy and youthful. Start each day with a compliment not a supplement to your diet with a good highly absorbable vitamin and mineral complex. I really like Melaleuca's Vitality 4 pack.
It offers an AM and PM pack because the body utilizes them better when distributed throughout the day. This complex, more than a vitamin also contains the minerals essential for nail and hair growth that sometimes thins with age (you will especially love this and see improvement.} In addition they contain a probiotic for improved absorption of nutrients and good digestive health. They contain the necessary calcium and a broad spectrum antioxidant that helps protect against free radicals and the causes of aging.  Sometime we will talk about what free radicals are and the role of antioxidants. We see those terms everywhere.

Taking care of ourselves inside and out I think we would all agree is so important. So here's my gentle nudge to encourage you to stop put down the laundry or whatever is and make that time for yourself.  You will glad you did.

Be happy in your skin,
Donna

Makeup tips and tricks Are you in a makeup rut?

Do you follow the same makeup routine everyday, regardless of occasion or season?

Do you always buy the same lipstick shade?

Have you worn the same makeup for the past five years?

If you answered yes to any one of these questions maybe you are in a tiny rut! Here are some tips and tricks to hopefully inspire you.

1. Remember cosmetics and skin care have expiration dates.

2.To keep lipstick from bleeding outside the lipline,trace just outside their border with a concealer that matches your skin tone and blend with a sponge.

3. A general rule on selecting color: The more yellow your skin, the warmer your makeup should be. Stick with either cool or warm throughout your face at any one time.

4. Invest in a good set of brushes. Clean them with a mild facial cleanser and lay flat on towel to dry at least once
monthly.

5. Buy a heated eyelash curler. Works by warming the lash to a curl rather than bending them harshly and causing some loss. The heat is very mild and safe. Ulta or Sephora has them.

6. Concealer is a girls best friend. Remember though not a highlighted something that matches your skin tone. Always get a good blend.

7. To lighten and lift the eye apply a highlighter on and around the lid. Be sure to carry to brow and positively make sure that you blend well. It gives the illusion of lifting the eye and neutralizes skin tone.

8. If you have smaller lips create the illusion of fuller bottom lip by applying a dab of the same highlighter on the center of the lip and blend.

9. Fill in sparse areas on brow line with a feathering strokes of either pencil or powder. Not more than two shades darker than your hair color. The trend for brows is to have a fuller well groomed brow not pencil thin.

10. Find a shade of mineral base powder for your face by matching it to your jawline not the back of your hand as the two skintones are different. Think of a base powder as a skin protector rather than makeup and watch how it will protect and even out your skin beautifully.

About Donna

I am always open to new opportunities to learn, work and grow.I possess a strong work ethic and take pride in a job well done in whatever it is that I am doing.

After graduating from high school in 1980 I went on to do several different things {a jack of all and master of none as they say.} I studied general studies at Boise State University for two years. I followed school by many years in the airline industry as a flight attendant. It was while flying that I discovered my interest in makeup as it was a required part of my uniform. In 1994 I became a mom and had my beautiful daughter Nicole and a few years later my son Eddie arrived. My husband is currently a pilot and it's hard to be a family of two career travelers. So, I very happily have been grounded. After giving up my flying I went on to try many other things looking for the next chapter. I resumed my studies in speech and communications at Mesa Community College. During this time I was hired to do event makeup artistry for Elizabeth Arden in Phoenix Az. My husband's job relocated our family to Pa. and there I continued with studies in communications. at Penn State. I remained interested in artistry and made the decision to enroll in Lancaster School of Cosmetology for Esthetics. In 2008 I completed my training and became certified and licensed as an Esthetician. I completed further professional training for makeup artistry with

Los Angleses based Last Looks Makeup Academy specializing in bridal and event makeup. Simplicity, my skincare studio evolved the summer of 2011 which offers skincare treatment, makeup, and nails. I am excited about my future in the field of esthetics and I look forward to sharing all that I can with you.
