Hi ya Gorgeous,

All the big retailers are doing their "Black Friday" sales now. In my opinion! I am seeing these running days of sales events and I think that this year is going to be a bit different in the normal Thanksgiving weekend of turkey, green bean casserole, movie marathons and epic shopping for Christmas with big deals and sales. It's my opinion.

 To check my opinion, please visit blackfriday.com to see what the mass market retailers have scheduled for the weekend sales events. Then notice that right now, Amazon is running pre-Prime day early sales.

The deals are good! These are a few of my faves. The links are affiliate and thank you for shopping with me. Now - let's look at these beauty goodies that any makeup lover would want! 

 Please note that the items have free returns and extended return periods as well as many items I am looking at have additional clickable coupons to help bring down the price. Add in the free Prime shipping and the holidays are lookin' good!

How to Start 2022 Off Right - Write It | Live It | Journal it with this available on Amazon

Hi ya Gorgeous!

In preparation for 2022, I'm sharing this journal now at the beginning of the month so you have time to grab one and follow along in the goal setting series coming up  this week. The plan is to begin writing the vision, and making it plain so you can run with it.

These are some strange days. You can navigate them better when you have a map, that you create for your family, health, finances and future. Here's how King James version says : And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

 Writeth it. Readeth it. Often! When you use the GPS, you check it often when in a new territory, right? That's where we are at right now. New territory. You need to navigate the new season we are in and be prepared for any goodness or tribulation that comes your way. Best way to plan is to write it down.

Get some copies today for yourself and your family or friends - then join me online as we do some planning together!

Get yours on Amazon here:

Grab a beautiful pen to enjoy while writing the vision, making it plain so you can run with it!

The Red Menace: How Lipstick Changed the Face of American History - a stocking stuffer book for gifting

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Hello December! 

Wow.

Where did the year 2021 go? 

There are now just 31 days left in 2021. 24 til Christmas eve! 

                                                            Book by Ilise S. Carter

 This year took a decade to pass. Or so it feels? Now that there are 31 days and counting, when would now be a good time to pick up a good book? I was sent this copy of The Red Menace: How Lipstick Changed the Face of American History and I really enjoyed the read. I like beauty history and how cosmetics shaped women, the view of them in society and how they feel they see themselves.

I'm a strong proponent of a lipstick has the power to change your day, change your mood, even change your life. A bold red lip can make a gal feel confident. 

Like Bourjois, the 1863 cosmetics company founded in Paris France. This vintage lipstick, Ashes of Roses by Bourjois is mentioned in the book. 

What is your go to red lipstick? Mine is Charlotte Tilbury Red Carpet.

Christmas time is a perfect time for a beautiful shade of red lipstick. Remember to pick up a copy of the book and some red lipstick to  read in!

Thank you to Ilise S. Carter for the book sample to read!

Follow up to PiggyPaint SOPHi - how long did it last?

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Did you know that there are 68 days left til Christmas?  It's why I am starting my Christmas posts and holiday gift idea lists now!

 I have a few things to share with you - that are faves going into Christmas. Now if you have not heard that there could be some supply chain issues for getting toys and goodies for Christmas - just a heads up, there could be some challenges with all of the ships sitting off the shoreline.

If you want something for a Christmas gift - or a Hanukkah gift - get it today so you don't get caught short!

These are some faves I'm gifting this season:

LEGO Grogu (Baby Yoda) from The Mandalorian

amzn.to/3vmw3yy

 

Disney Princess tote bag full of beauty and hair accessories

https://amzn.to/30EZXmn

Fragrance - is a fave gift to get and give like this classic Beautiful by Estee Lauder! 

https://amzn.to/3pd2MFg

 

Now, about PiggyPaint SOPHi gel polish - this stuff wore and wore and wore like crazy! Through all of my typing, my busy gardening and my server shift on a busy Saturday night!  There are some chips and wear along the edges though it's not that bad for being on a natural nail. The baked on with a hair dryer hand wore off faster than the NOT heated and baked on with a hair dryer! This video shows you the results:

The DUPE: L'Oreal vs Charlotte Tilbury | Pillow talk

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

Happy middle of September. Wow. That happened fast? How did that happen so fast? You know what else is happening fast? The fourth quarter retail season is upon us and that means holiday celebrations. My local big box stores already have the halloween stuff out mixed with Thanksgiving decorations. 

 

This means a time to switch up your makeup and wardrobe. Oh to have boot weather! I was looking for a Fall nude lip to wear and came across the most perfect dupe in my opinion for my favorite yet costly lipstick, Pillow talk from Charlotte Tilbury.

 

 

Think - family photos, Thanksgiving, the quick slide into Christmas and then New Years eve. If you love Charlotte Tilbury's lipstick trio, Pillow Talk, like I do - then you know the cost. I love the look of all three products together, liner then lipstick and top off with gloss.

(Amazon: https://amzn.to/3C8XkGT ) 

 

 

 

I was looking for a Fall season nude tone lipstick and came across this L'Oreal #171 or Les Nus by Colour Riche Lipstick, Bold & Intense Nudes, Rich Saturated Color with Pure Caring Oils, Nu Confident (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3kclmL6 )  It's easier on the budget at $5.24 plus tax.

 

 

One more reason to get a new lipstick, in any shade you love, is because it can boost your mood and lift your spirits. 

 

If life has you down, get a new lipstick! It's an easily affordable treat to help you, help yourself! Thank you for watching - and please subscribe and share! Muah! 

 

 *note* Amazon links are affiliates and I get a penny when you use it - thanks!

Monday Blogs: The "make up" of holiday preparations now - watch!

Hi ya Gorgeous!

 

How are you? Today's video blog post is part suggestion, part commentary, and part "what I want for Christmas"! Yes - it's time to be thinking ahead to the holidays if you want to have product availability. I don't mean from hot items like Tickle Me Elmo selling out but actual, physical, availability of goods!

Today's video is important, like, even sideways important that if you haven't set yourself up to buy ahead of time, then now, is the time to do it. May I repeat that for you? I am a Black Friday shopper for my Christmas and holiday preparations. 

 

Yet, this year, 2021 is different. I think the Suez blockage and traffic jam of shipping ships and containers is going to have an impact on us regular people for the holiday season. So for the first time in nearly 20 years, I am NOT going to wait for Black Friday/Shop Small Saturday/Cyber Monday sales.

 

Nope. 

Not me. 

Not this year. 

 

I am doing my shopping now. No, not wrapping now yet preparing for the season ahead of time. I am getting the household ready. I am in a self imposed "open one, order one" routine for my lifestyle items and getting my gifts ready now. Here are some basics that you may enjoy as well, yes, these are affiliate links and I get a penny when you click. 

 

So thank you very much! Gifts for the whole family: 

 

LASER TAG - https://amzn.to/3y5wWMz (* I can hardly wait to open this with the fam!*) 

 

Burrito blanket: The fam watches a new film on a holiday weekend and I am looking forward to the joy of us all, wrapping up in our own burrito snuggly blankets! https://amzn.to/3BGNqg7 

 

I DEW luxury skincare box set https://amzn.to/2Vfsqw4 (just what you need to care for you!) 

 

p.s. Yes, that is my RoC vitamin C face wash with retinol that I have been using for months and LOVE! https://amzn.to/3iT53B0 

 

The creme I am holding is the crepe erase - have only been using for a week. Yes, love,though need a little bit more time of usage to be able to report on it! Thank you for watching and enjoy! 

 

 

Now get ordering! Say it with me "open one, order one!"

How To Make Positive Christmas Memories That Last

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Tuesday!
It's a whirlwind of fun, celebration, volunteering and preparing for some upcoming Christmas travel for snowboarding and ice skating!

Thank goodness for the physical activities because around here, it's been all treats,cookies, and fancy froo froo coffees and cocktails. In short, the calories are abundant! I need some extra movement!

Which brings me to today's blog and video topic - I encourage you to take a moment and plan some family memory making activities so the focus is on engaging with each other in a meaningful way versus just zeroing in on a store bought gift.

Ideas such as:
1. Taking a family walk to "eye spy" a Christmas item
2. Walking/bicycling/driving a neighborhood for lights
3. Christmas cookie bake off and then trade doing an old fashioned cake walk with music
4. Go caroling to a neighbor and bring some of those cookies to gift
5. Hand make cards for one another using items in the house then share with a quick message of what you appreciate about that person

There are so many ways to make a memory without spending a lot



Thank you for tuning in today! If it's your first time here, welcome! If you are returning, welcome back! This video is a short word of encouragement to help you focus on what's good that's going on in a busy holiday season. From me to you - a very merry Christmas! Now go make some great memories!

Holiday Sets for the Perfume Lover Are Here! | Wild Spirit Fragrances Holiday Collection

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
December is quickly moving to the middle of the month and this Saturday is the second busiest shopping day of the year because it's the one before Christmas!

Ha!
I finally have all of my shopping done and I'm lovin' the surprises that I have in store for my cub.
Now some gifts for me! I am a fragrance lover! I usually wear a few different scents in a single day! Morning - noon - night, either relaxing or spicy for going out.  How about you?

Now something to know - not all fragrances are created equal. These days, so many of the scents you buy are synthetic and contain some naughty ingredients. Though, I met this brand back in the spring and I'm super in love with their commitment to a healthy scent, it's ability to be layered and their brand respect for the environment. Essentially - you have got to get this for yourself and a friend, a loved one and maybe even someone on your naughty list to help sweeten them up!

To add to the fun and enjoyment, this high end fragrance is easily available at Walmart stores and Walmart.com and the Christmas gift pack has a little bit of everything for you plus a sneak peek at the new rose fragrance coming out in spring 2019.  What are you waiting for ! Get to gettin' the good stuff from Wild Spirit Fragrances!  The video is from the set the brand sent me months ago with the sneak peek into what was coming for holiday and then these photos are from today in my local Walmart. 





Thanks for watching! If you could, would you take a moment and subscribe with a bell ding please? Thanks! You may think it's too early for a holiday post - but no - actually it's not. Why you say? Because the clock is ticking! The days from here on to the first week of January are going to go by fast and fill up - so, start on that shopping list!

Now, this brand is a new best favorite of mine. It's a healthy fragrance with no funky stuff in it, like phtalates and parabens! It is made in the USA and easily available at Walmart and Walmart.com The base of these scents are essential oils. You can wear one, or mix and match. Fragrance is the ultimate accessory! This video shows you the upcoming holiday gift package that is going to be in stores soon.



So watch the video and then get ready to find in stores!

What is Pearl Harbor Day?

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Happy Friday to you! I'm so ready for the weekend and then some.  Before all of that Christmas and Hanukkah celebration goes into full speed, here is a quick look back on today, and it's infamy in history.  Today, is Pearl Harbor day and we remember it in the United States with respect to the soldiers lost and the beginning of a war with flags at half mast.

What is Pearl Harbor Day?

Pearl Harbor Day, also known as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, is an annual observance of the lives lost in the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. 

When Bill Clinton was President, he  declared Dec. 7, 1994, as the first National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day for the United States. This is a tremendous respect for the military and families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives that day.

It is not a federal holiday with paid time off. Though the American flag is flown at half-staff until the sun sets in honor of those who died as a result of the surprise attack.

This was a catastrophic day and recently one family, finally had closure on the event. This is an excerpt from an article on CNN.com today:

"The Dorr family had been waiting for Carl to come home from the Navy for 77 years. This week, he finally did.

About 15 relatives on Wednesday walked onto the tarmac of South Carolina's Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. They watched as a flag-draped coffin was lowered from the plane into a hearse.

"There was nothing but dead silence," Carl's 70-year-old nephew, Thomas Dorr, who lives in St. Johns, Florida, told CNN. "I knew that what I was experiencing was history."

 

 

Remembering Pearl Harbor 01:23

Carl David Dorr, one of the 429 sailors and Marines killed on board the USS Oklahoma when it was sunk in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, will be laid to rest on Friday -- the attack's anniversary.

Read this full story on the CNN.com website here  https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/07/us/pearl-harbor-carl-dorr-buried-on-77th-anniversary/index.html

Join me in a YouTube live session today at 12:30 MST as I share my personal family history with this day.  http://youtube.com/makeupuniversity

Best Gift for the Home Chef in Your Life - Meet Egglettes

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

I'm down to the final few gifts that I need to get and today's post, actually, this gift was given to me.
I do enjoy a kitchen gadget and collagen is a beauty item so technically, this qualifies for a beauty blog!

Meet Egglettes.

 These lil goodies are available on Amazon and I have a video demonstrating me using them. Overall, I like them. Though as much as I do like them, I don't really use mine because lately,
(insert *gasp* here)  - I've just been buying the pre-made packaged boiled eggs that are already peeled and ready eat. It's been the clean eating help as I travel.  Having my food prepared and ready in a cooler as I drive has kept me out of the drive thru!

 So - this is sort of beauty related and that is egg collagen can be good for your skin! Let me know what you think!

Would You Change You Because Others Were Changing?

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Happy Monday!

December is in full effect and in more ways than one!
So I'm taking a different focus this year with the blog - instead of sharing about the myriad of gifts available, how about we focus a moment on the real gift.  You!

The beauty community and blogging and Youtube are rapidly changing and I see so many quickly changing to follow suit.

Well, how about this - instead of you conforming to all that the world is shaping you as, how about you be an original one of a kind version of you! You are worthy. Beautiful. Creative.

The world needs more of you as you, not you as a great imitation of someone else.

So how about going forward in this season of expecting miracles and celebration - we focus on you and celebrating all of your unique qualities!

That's what I want to see and read about. You, as you were intended to be.


 Amen. Selah. Deep breath. Be the best you!
