Much needed attention. Your cosmetic bag is longing to be touched!
Stranded at the airport, waiting in the car 🚘 pool line or even at home. Use your time wisely and give your lipsticks some LOVE.
Grab those lipsticks & quickly disinfect them!
If you happen to get a Purell wipes, towelettes from a restaurant after your meal or have some rubbing alcohol disinfectant pads. get out your lipstick tubes and lipgloss wands and disinfect those tubes!
It’s kind of satisfying and fun to do!
1. Take the top off.
2. Roll up those tubes. Be gentle not all the way. Only up to where you’ve used the tube.
3. Swipe and wipe the lipstick itself all around.
4. Next wipe the tube packaging itself. You know lots of germs 🦠 are waiting for you there too.
5. Allow them to evaporate and dry and close the lids.
You’re all set, a quick disinfect and good to go! Safely! Protect those pretty lips!
* A great idea after you have a cold or a fever blister too!
If you’re looking to stay healthier 🍃 and polish your nails with that in mind. Do a little research. Avoid these ingredients commonly used in nail polish.
So don’t forget to tell your sweetie to get himself checked out too. Lumps in the breast aren’t normal.
And how about you?
Have you had a mammography or at least check your breasts too?
YOU matter! Stay well and on top of your health too.
And just a reminder. I had Breast Cancer but not in the breast but ON the breast. It was Squamous cell carcinoma. Mayo performed Mohs surgery on me for hours. It was a bit deep. They said it’s not common. So watch out for raised spots or dark dots, reddish spots that suddenly appear on your skin.
Lately I’ve noticed women’s hands and feet. While waiting on lines, while grabbing a bite to eat or my clients at my beauty cottage.
Your hands go through sun 🌞 and environmental stressors not to mention using home cleaning products and hand sanitizer. Not just your face. So, they are dry and thirsty for attention.
Hand Mask to the rescue!
Some of you who read my blog may know by now how much I ❤️ to make pretty potions!
So here’s one for you!
One of the mask DIY recipes I like to do is right out of the kitchen. Not a product from a store shelf. This mask gently moisturizes and is applied to the top of the hands.
Easy as 1,2,3.
1 tablespoon of oats
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Mix all of the above. Add water as needed. The mask will be like a paste consistency.
Apply the mask mixture to your hands with a face mask brush or a clean pastry brush.
Leave on at least 15 minutes.
Rub your hands together another minute.
Rinse well with in the sink with a washcloth.
If you have any left over. Save it for another time. Don’t save more than a couple of days. There are no preservatives.
Follow with your favorite hand or body lotion.
You’ll have happy,softer, brighter skin on your hands.
I’m in beautiful and always fabulous Vegas! The heat is on. The other day it was 116 degrees.
Have you ever been?
Today I guest spoke at the International Esthetics Cosmetics and Spa Conference show. I had a sold out crowd! I so LOVE what I do!
💋
Anyone who is anyone in beauty and hair is here! It is so exciting. I have missed guest speaking since Covid. But it’s beginning to look like a sense of normalcy and happiness!
The show floor was filled to the brim with so many booths. I attended a few classes and shopped and explored. I’m exhausted.
Tonight we had dinner at a delicious place called Orchids Gardens. They serve all kinds of Dim Sum 🥟 all day. I have been going to this place for years.
I’m taking notes 📝 and checking out all that I can and that is trending!
So please … Stay tuned. The time zone for me is a 3 hour difference and I’m starting to fade. Im going to take a bubble bath 🛀 and relax.
Then, I’m joining my husband for a cocktail 🍸 and eating a box of chocolates together in bed.
Especially after a year and half of NO airplane ✈️ travel. not sure what to really expect this travel trip! But two flights and flying with a mask 😷 on is going to be a bit of a challenge. But I know I’ll make it. This pandemic isn’t quite over.
I’ve spent ALL day packing my luggage 🧳 , unpacking and planning my trip. Packing my clothes and beauty supplies for my class requires precise packing as it must conform to weight limits and that’s always a task for a woman! Namely me.
Don’t ya just love 💕 my luggage? I got it from TJMaxx before the pandemic and it’s so cool 😎 rolling it around. I’ve been doing the happy dance with it during the pandemic. Waiting for this time to happen and travel on an airplane again!
I’m excited to get away and guest speak at the International Esthetics Cosmetics and Spa Conference again. Alongside the International Beauty Show. Both shows are absolutely amazing.
I get high when I fly! Because I love to fly!
I can’t wait to meet my class of beauty professionals,dermatologists,plastic surgeons and spa owners. The show attracts beauty and wellness professionals from all over the 🌎 world. It’s going to be different this year with social distancing and on and off face masks in 108 degrees.
PRO only shows… Stylists,makeup artists,nail techs,estheticians and beauty business owners from all over the world will flock to the ever popular International Beauty Show and the International Esthetics Cosmetics & Spa Conference.
But now … Counting down with hope to a fabulous and fun time.June is coming soon.
I’ll be BEAUTY reporting from there and sharing with you ALL THAT I SEE. It’s going to be a bumpy exciting out of the park ride! Hair beauty shows are not like peaceful spa shows. They have a mood and vibe all of their own and have seen some unique hair and makeup Pro’s. Some of them wear just as much makeup as you and I do and their men! If I bump into any you need to know about.
I’ll Instagram and blog out photo’s and comments to you. So follow me there too!

I’ll be guest speaking at the spa show and reporting LIVE from both shows.
Find out …What’s hot, What’s Not, What’s now! It is going to be a beauty filled and hair raising time!!!
I LOVE ❤️ Las Vegas and if you haven’t been maybe now’s the time to add it to your list of places to go when we can all travel without a care! So much to see and the eye candy is mostly FREE. SO MANY PLACES TO EXPLORE. Good and club life is non- stop. Hotels to die for! Amazing views! All waiting for me and you. Minutes from the desert 🌵 Red Rock Canyon and a few hours car ride to California.
I can’t wait to shop the IECSC show floor! And see the latest and greatest in skincare,makeup and more! If you’re a beauty pro, spa or salon you gotta go!
I will be teaching a class on MAKEUP and sharing the new look for the summer.
Once a week I devote to a bath 🛁 with coconut oil. I take off my clothes. Slather on warm melted coconut oil on my body. Tonight was that night. I feel so amazing. Refreshed.
I apply coconut oil like hand and body lotion. You must be careful not to slip or fall. But so worth it! Remember a little goes a long way.
Next, I dip my toes and body into a warm water 💦 drawn bath. I relax around 10 minutes. I sip coconut water in a plastic goblet and enjoy the luxurious silky coconut oil bath.
Then I rinse slightly and step out of the tub.
I wrap my body in my luxe white fluffy robe with a giant set of lips 💋 on it.
I apply white socks on the 🥥 coconut oil feet. And then I go to sleep.
This is a super soft body treat. You’ll wake up with baby soft skin.
Buy fresh lavender online and get some muslin or organza bags you can find at the craft or Dollar store. Make yourself some fresh lavender bud sachets. Place in pillowcase or hang from the bed post. The soothing and calming scent will make you feel relaxed. You can even make an eye mask with them if you like to sew.
Take a bath…Especially if you are a shower guy or gal. Baths are miracle workers and can really settle you down after a long day. Even more so now. Use Epsom salts and add a few drops of jojoba and lavender oil. I like the brand called Aura Cacia. Did you know they even make lavender tea? So delightful to the tongue and to your spirits.
If you want to refresh tired feet soak them in a water basin and give them a bath with a few drops of peppermint oil.
DiscoverSpongelle... it is a hand wash buffer sponge that gives you at least 40 hand washings and sanitizes too. More effective at removing germs and dirt than soap alone. The best part it has aromatherapy like Thyme & Tea Tree Oil. You can use it in a bath,in the shower or hand washing. You can even travel with it. Since we need to wash our hands often and haven’t been able to get manicures. I love to use this to keep clean especially for behind the finger nails. I’ve cut my nails back and love how clean and soft yet not dry my hands are.
A good nights sleep I think also requires clean pretty sheets and a lush BETTER pillow. I found a pillow that is great to not only sleep with but helps with sleep wrinkles,Morning puffiness and marks. Bye Bye puffy face when you wake up in the morning!
Sleep and Glow is designed with your face in mind! And is the brand and I can’t wait for you to check it out too.
