My go to beauty routine
BeautyCommentI've always kept my beauty routine very simple and really like keeping natural and fresh. With that said, this mama needs a little oomph added in there every now and then. I've been wearing red lips off and on for a while now and have resoluted to the fact that it's my all time favorite and not going anywhere. A classic red lip takes a simple two second beauty look that seems like it must have taken much more time. Here is my go to, easy peasy, always look pulled together makeup look that I rock basically every day. 1. After washing my face and applying my aging oil, eye cream and SPF, I sweep foundation all over face and under eyes. Make sure to blend foundation down neck and on ears so you avoid any harsh lines.
2. Next, using a fan brush I sweep bronzer under cheek bones, onto temples and down middle of neck.
3. Using a angled blush brush I dust blush onto apples of cheeks for natural flush.
4. Now for the finishing touches… line lips and fill in whole lip with red lip liner to help color last.
4. Fill in lips carefully with red lip stain. Make sure to keep outer lines super tidy. Red lips have to be super sharp to look chic.
5. Now for my favorite part, the highlighter. Apply cream highlighter to cheekbones and temples. Blend well for perfect "light catching" glow.
Voila! The perfect look for any occasion. Chic for the office, polished for any date night or party and fresh for everyday life. Done and done!

UncategorizedCommentSpring is upon us even though our weather doesn't quite feel like it. I love flipping through magazines this time of year as the fresh pastels fill the pages. We still have a while yet, but soft blues still work and will continue to work through spring. Paired with a bold red lip you are in the perfect Winter/Spring zone.

Pins of the week1 CommentHappy 2015!!! Man, 2014 was a blip on my radar! It came and went so fast! Why does that happen?! So, no resolutions for me this year. I've decided to instead craft the woman I want to be. It may take much longer than a year to get there. It could take decades and most likely will. Cheers to the future and whatever we want to be!

A fluffy top knot to any hat makes all things cute!
Wintertime makes me want all things savory and delightful and this Salted Honey and Fig cheesecake is all I can think of.
Something about the flurries and the stillness of this photo sums up the lyrics " all is calm and all is bright". It makes me think of my parent's ranch and their "silver" horse name Bullet in the wintertime. His silver fur against the snow was so dreamy.
Well let's be clear….there most likely is booze in there. I need that tea cup!
