I ❤️ this nail lacquer!
My summer beauty crush is a nail polish. I love getting a mani & pedi and enjoy touching my nails 💅 up between my manicure appointments so I can look my best.
While shopping 🛍 to pick up some milk and and a few other things I discovered of all places in The Dollar General an end cap display of nail lacquer. A few colors caught my eye.
I can’t wait to buy MORE!
They have 18 show stopping colors!
Maybe I needed a frost, no I needed a matte. So I chose Twisted 🌷 Tulip! Perhaps like my personality. It is Maybelline FAST gel nail lacquer. Yes, Maybelline every teen on a budgets dream.
It went on my nails smooth and looked flawless instantly. Best part besides this beautiful hue. It is so FAST drying! I am in love! And I almost forgot I’ve had two coats on for a week. Not a dent or chip. Color is shiny and still looks amazing.
And by the way, for years I have been able to only use OPI nail polish because I am allergic to other nail lacquers.
No your nail bed doesn’t break out nor do you necessarily get a rash. Your eye 👁 lids and under eyes can get itchy and irritated. And can even get raw red from scratching or rubbing.
Did you even know you can be allergic from the ingredients in some brand nail polish?
It’s not over. There’s still more summer left! Maybe it’s time you discover and try a few and play away!
You’ll most likely fall in love with it too!
Like the brands tube goes… Maybe It’s Maybelline!
End of summer… Skin Smoothie

As you take in and soak in every minute of summer in the sun 🌞 your skin will get dry and look it too. A simple mask I love to do and highly recommend cause it is a natural beauty recipe too. A dermatologist shared this recipe with me.
This home-made skin smoothie and soother is as near as your kitchen.
All you need is:
1 ripe avocado (I prefer organic)
1 tablespoon of local organic honey
Mash the avocado and spoon in the honey. Stir together. Apply to your face and decollette. Leave on the face at least 5 minutes.
Rinse well with a lukewarm water and a washcloth.
Your FACE will love you back and feel lovely!
You can use this recipe year round but it is wonderful around this time of year.

PLEASE note:
If you are allergic to the above ingredients do NOT use this recipe to soothe and soften your skin.
Two Minutes to a…Natural Summer Glow

SUMMER is definitely not over by any means all across the country. Today in sunny Florida it is going to feel like 107 degrees!
I can barley put on one of my many gorgeous necklaces 💎 and if you know me I love wearing necklaces! I feel naked without one and a lipstick.
So, I have been wearing less and doing a light touch to my beauty routine this summer. I don’t use alot of foundation but do like a bit of even coverage. So, here is one of my recipes for creating a soft summer glow by customizing a lightweight soft looking and feeling foundation.
- Place a dash (a quarter size or less) of your favorite moisturzer in the palm of your hands.
- Sprinkle in a little loose mineral powder a couple of shades darker than you would normally wear. Choose a champagne,gold or tawny shade.
- Mix the two until you get the desired consistency and look and apply to the skin.
THIS combination will even out,or warm up your summer tan glow or to fake a tan!
Set with Rose 🌹 Water Kisses spray.
It can also be used on your chest,decolette and shoulders in the summertime when weraing a low cut or strapless dress.
Glow 🌞 on!
COOL Summertime Strawberry Soup & more!
My Polish side of the family has some delightful recipes this soup is one of them. It is so refreshing in the summertime and while strawberries are in season especially.
What makes it special are these ingredients: (and the Polish FAMILY memories)
1 lb fresh strawberries
1 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp of good quality vanilla extract
2 cups of vanilla Greek yogurt
*whipped cream
*fresh mint leaves
Clean and hull strawberries and place in a blender,combine the rest of the ingredients except whipped cream and mint.Blend until smooth.
CHILL for a few hours or overnight.Serve in pretty bowls and top with dollop of whip cream and garnish with a few mint leaves.
Yummy,creamy and dreamy taste of a recipe from Poland.My mom would be proud I still keep close in my heart and continue these traditions.
Do you have a YUMMY or unique recipe you’d like to share with me?
I’d LOVE to hear from you!
*Yummy photo from the website Cool Photo Projects.
While strawberries are still in season,you might also want to enjoy my recipe for a Refreshing Strawberry Face MASK for your skin.
Here’s what you’ll need:
8 fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons of local honey
Mash the strawberries with a spoon and add in the honey. This will make a fruity honey filled face mask. The strawberries contain Vitamin C and alpha-hydroxy acids that exfoliate the skin gently in a natural way.
If your skin is looking dull,tired,sun damaged or prone to a blemish you will LOVE what this mask does for your skin.
Leave on your face for at least fifteen minutes and rinse with luke warm water and a wash cloth.Follow with your moisturizer and eye gel.
They say that Hollywood Celebrities like Catherine Zeta Jones use strawberries in their beauty rituals.
This fresh mask will last up to a week in an airtight container. I prefer to store in glass NOT plastic container.
*As I have mentioned before always do a spot test on the side of your cheek or neck to see if you are allergic to any of these ingredients. If you know you are do not use this recipe.
Get cooking and enjoy these two delicious delights one for your body and one for your face. YUM!
