This Halloween I shared these with all my besties and served a Beautiful Witches Brew!
I love 🧡🍭🎃👻 Halloween! How about you?
Can you keep a secret?
I tried but it was tough. Last month my husband and I went to a place that had the most amazing vibe. It is located in sunny Florida 🌴 but they asked me to not say a word on the address. They want YOU to find it if you want to go.
You need to make a reservation online. Your reservation will only be for an hour and a half. It’s a popular coveted place! And by the way, reservations are really hard to get! So be flexible.
You’ll be given a secret password just for you that day.
They suggest you dress with an island 🏝 vibe. flowered shirt or dress, Hawaiian vibe and maybe wear a lei flower necklace. 🌺 You know … get into the mood. So I did. My husband did not play. But at least he wore a peach Tommy Bahama top.
When we arrived a beautiful girl greeted us. She told us the story of this magical place. She gave off great energy.
The lighting is dark and mysterious. Unique decor intimate settings are all over. Some of the tables have old school paintings of Asian and Hawaiian women back in the day. Really pretty!
A large TV screen is at the bar that plays non-stop old time movies with an Island twist.
Everywhere you turn there is more exotic decor and a mix of lighting, flowers, Tiki, skulls, cool red lighting and novelty lamp lighting illuminated and filled the room.
Worth exploring and stepping into their 🚪 doors! A 😎 place indeed. Perhaps I’ll see you there sometime by chance if you go. Explore beyond your door.
Aloha! 🌺

I so love eggs. They are little bundles of joy for making so many recipes and things and you know they are so good for our health.
I use eggs on my face. My sister uses egg shells to make art. I use eggs for making quiche, fry eggs in a wok and for making these egg cupcakes.
Don’t you love ❤️ the way that sounds?
I enjoy making these and I thought I’d share them with you!
What you will need:
12 medium eggs
2 cups of baby spinach
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 diced ham steak
1 small tomato,chopped OR add a few baby tomatoes whole
Pre-heat oven to 350 Grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
Whisk and mix all of the above together (But hold off on the spinach leaves) and pour in a cupcake or muffin tin. Add a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Stir in spinach,ham,tomatoes.
Use a 1/3 cup measure and scoop mixture into each muffin cup.
Bake in oven until eggs are puffed and the center is set. Approx. 20 minutes.
Place a small pat of butter on each one when done before serving.
If you want to make these with another cheese…try it. You will find yourself and your sweetie or family wanting even more.
GLOrious Face Mask
Want tighter skin and a glow? Take a farm fresh organic egg and crack it separating the egg white from the yolk. Add a dash of lemon. Whisk on. Place on a clean face. Enjoy for 15 -20 minutes. It will stiffen up on your face.
Rinse with a a smidge of facial cleanser or facial soap on a luke warm wash cloth.
Follow with a cotton pad with a rosewater facial toner.
Add a dollop of moisturizer and eye cream or gel and get some ZZZZ’s. Wake up refreshed and glowing.
Protect your Neck
Just for kicks and to tighten my skin. I like to make an egg white neck mask. Simply whisk up one egg and place on your neck towards your chest. All you need is a thin coat.. Leave this DIY mask on at least 15 minutes. Rinse and hydrate with your favorite moisturizer and paint the town red!
Even if it is just social distancing with your bestie or sweetie for a drink of lemonade in the back yard patio this 4th weekend.
Gluten Free COOKIES!
I so LOVE CANDY…That is why I named my blog Beauty Candy. I also love a good cookie. A friend of mine shared this recipe with me and I am going to make them as soon as I get the three easy ingredients. I have been on the road for beauty so much I am starving my husband according to him as I have not grocery shopped much lately. He eats sardines and clam sauce pasta as meals when I travel. Kinda crazy!
So, I am going to make him so home-cooked meals and cookies!
1 egg
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of peanut butter (substitute almond butter for peanut if you want)
Pre-heat oven 375 F.
Grease a cookie sheet.
Place in a bowl all of the above. Drop with a cookie scoop little rounds. Flatten with a fork. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until a slight golden look and center settles in.
Cool cookies on wire rack.
She said before she knew it they were all gone and so was a gallon of milk. Yum!

I love my life in the beauty industry!
I wear many hats in my life in beauty. I so love being a small business owner in America and being the designer of my indie beauty brand. I also am passionate about educating at spa and beauty shows across the country.
BUT my fave thing to do is making women happy that means YOU too!
So, I promised I will share what’s in my mini fridge by Cooluli the 4L classic…that I featured on TV in my beauty segment on WJXT the other day.
The possibilities are endless! You are only limited by your imagination.
But first…
I am a Northern girl who moved to Florida for my husband. But being MADLY IN LOVE I soon discovered Florida is VERY VERY hot,steamy and humid. Not a winning combination for my hair and skin. I GET REALLY HOT! They say Southern girls don’t sweat they glisten. Well that’s proof I am a Northerner as I sweat. From hair to toe! So, I am always looking for ways to keep cool.
Skincare
These are a few of the things I store in my mini fridge I dicovered on social media and Allure magazine’s beauty editors Instagram page.
I love exploring all the options we have in life and this fridge is one of them!
I don’t keep all these products in my mini fridge but I do whenever I need to. I rotate my as needed. Using them out if the fridge feels refreshing and amazing!
Serums
Eye gels
Sheet masks for the face
Neck Sheet masks
Eye sheet masks OR eye pads
Lip gel or sheet masks
Cool Eye masks

Highlighters
To chill my wash cloths!

Did I tell you it even warms food?
I even love to use it to warm my face or hand towels!

I love this creamy D.I.Y. face and neck mask and the way my skin feels after it!
Good to try after a day in the sun or for anti-aging dry skin.

Today at the TV station I was doing a segment on all things Chocolate Beauty and having a Girls night In or a spa night with your sweetie.
While setting up my DIY yourself spa treats I heard a familiar voice over my shoulder. I have a GREAT memory for voices and accents too. It was a man with a northern accent. Being from NYC and NJ this accent warms my soul and reminds me of home.He asked me what was I doing and what were all the things. I was so focused on what I was doing I did not turn around but answered his questions. He told me he loves chocolate.
When I was all done…I tied my apron on and saw a familiar face to go with the voice.It was the next guest for the show had arrived and he too was waiting his turn. Then the camera crew started setting up some GORGEOUS,colorful paintings and it all came together to me. PETER MAX the world-renowned artist was in front of me!!!
Before I did anything else I put my hand on my heart and said I thought that was YOU and your soothing voice too”. He smiled and cupped my cheeks in his hands and kissed me! YES, he kissed me not once but bunches and with a happy smile on his face. Did I mind? NO, they came so quick and from a man who appeared so kind and romantic.
Something we definitely see in his artwork! I have always been a fan.
I asked if I could take a photo of him. He posed perfect and then he was up to go on set and be interviewed.
After his interview on his guest appearance/event at the Ponte Vedra Cultural Center he was ready to leave. The news crew had put my microphone on and I had to go LIVE in seconds.No time to say a proper goodbye.So across the studio on a commercial break I whispered with a loud voice…”Goodbye,Mr.Max”. He immediately turned around and blew me some air KISSES with his hands.
LOVE was and is in the air today and my ST. Valentine’s Day started in the most fabulous way!!!
There are ALL kinds of love.Husband and wife love,BFF love d the love of your family and children love. But this kind of stranger love winked at me today in its own special way. I embraced this life moment and happy I MADE HIM SMILE.
There is a beautiful saying I am not sure who said it and if I am completely writing it right.
“People may forget what you said,forget what you did but NEVER forget how you made them feel”
Peter Max made me feel fabulous and special today in his own quiet way!!! I only regret not having the time to take a photo with him today.
I may never wash my cheeks again.
Kiss! Kiss! Hope you are having a fabulous ST. Valentine’s day.
If you don’t know this man’s work that will color your life and world…
