When it comes to cosmetics, using one product is never enough. Wearing makeup consists of applying a moisturizer, serum, sunscreen, primer, eye cream, BB cream, foundation, concealer, powder, highlighter, blush, bronzer, setting spray and whatever else you’d like to put on your face. I understand that beauty is expensive, but damaging your skin is a price way too high to pay. Every beautiful painting begins with a clear canvas. Concealing your flaws with more makeup will not improve the condition of your skin. It will hide imperfections temporarily, but the damage can only worsen. You are adding chemicals that clogs pores. Moisturizing is something most experts recommend you do on a daily basis. I beg to differ. While conditioning my body is something I do every day, I don’t always moisturize my face. What many people get wrong is ignoring the signs. You need to LISTEN to YOUR SKIN.

Always‘ new campaign uses the phrase “likeagirl” to bring a different meaning to it. Usually, when someone is being told they hit, throw, or do something #likeagirl they are saying women are weak. It isn’t only degrading, but also disempowering. Their video shows that young girls do not see it as a bad thing, but when they realize that stereotype is being instilled in them, they grow up believing it. ALWAYS’ mission is to rewrite the rules and they are doing a stellar job. Ladies, let’s continue empowering one another for ourselves, our mothers, sisters, friends, and daughters! Building a stronger and powerful generation of doers who can positively impact this world and make change for the better. Let’s do this… #likeAGIRL !

When people hear the word “DIVORCE” they think it is similar to going through hell in slow motion and in circles. There are far too many reasons to understand why people hate divorces or avoid it. Perhaps, you didn’t make your partner sign a prenup. You don’t want to breakup a family. You refuse to let go. You want to be around your children. You’re scared your time is running out and no one will take notice of you. You don’t want to split any assets. You’re afraid of what others will think or say. You don’t want anyone to laugh at you. You feel like a failure. Religion: God would want the two of you to stay together, etc. The list can be neverending. There is no denying divorces can get messy. The process is frustrating and painful. It can even feel dream shattering. Hearing those words, “Until death do us part” and you’re both still breathing sounding quite alive, yet chopping those vows goodbye is a big fat — OUCH! When it comes to ending a marriage it is easier said than done. I’m NOT a psychologist, but here is why I feel divorce is a good thing. And this only applies to those people in irreparable marriages…  Read more »

People magazine named Joe Manganiello “Hottest Bachelor” of the year. We concur! Sexy eyes, gorgeous legs, and abs for days— PEOPLE nailed it. The 37-year-old actor is hot, single, and muy caliente! He tells the mag, “I am part Sicilian. I am passionate. I am a hot-blooded person. If you don’t like spicy, then maybe I’m not for you.” The True Blood actor adds he likes his women to smell delicious, “I’m big into smell,” he says. “It’s funny I got cast as a werewolf. There’s something about the smell on that part of a woman’s neck where it meets the jaw, ahhhh! It’s heaven.” Now you know ladies, only those of you who love wearing perfume and are all nighters need apply.

Did you know there is such a thing as “psychology of color” where hues play with our perception of things. Colors play a big role on how they make us feel. This is why there’s usually soft tints covering the walls of hospitals. Can you imagine walking in with a heart attack and the clinic is all in red? It will kill you quicker! The soft colors, white beds, and linens make you feel safe. You’re now in a tranquil area making you more relaxed. Au contraire, let us take a look at fast food restaurants that don’t want you to stay there eating for long. They use bright colors not only to attract children, but also to make you eat fast and go. Make colors work for you. The color I highly recommend if you want to earn someone’s trust is BLUE. Blue is the color of trust. It can be any tint, tone, or shade of blue whether it is light, medium, or dark. I highly recommend it for attorneys when trying to win a client over or in court if they want to seem more convincing to the judge or jurors. It is also a great color to wear for a job interview. And anytime you want to seem like an honest person (not saying that you aren’t). *ahem* You see. It isn’t always good to kiss your blues away!
