I am happy to share this story with you. Sometimes, good things happen when something else isn’t working out. Mary Kay has a pure retinol set called Clinical Solutions. It is a dermacosmetic skin care set which is designed to turn the clock back on wrinkles, skin...

I have been seeing many videos on social media pertaining to the perfect foundation. I am wondering…if I hadn’t spent decades in the beauty industry, would I have ordered one of those foundations? Maybe, it’s so appealing. This is what they don’t tell you in the ads...

When it comes to sunscreen, I am all in. I don’t even want to count the number of basal cells (precancer spots) which have been removed from my body and even my face. This is the second blog post I have written on this subject. It’s important enough to address...

When a follower is frustrated with my social media posts, I want to respond with support and suggestions. That recently happened. She stated, “according to your posts and basically all other fashion posts, there are no clothes for 4’11” women who are not young and...

Sheri Miter, the host of “Discover Your Calling”, had me as a guest speaker. We spoke about the various seasons of my business life. So far, I would say there have been three major parts of that journey. The store, Nan Patrick, my Mary Kay business, and now the...

Contouring seems to be a mystery to many. It’s easy to do… especially when you are using the correct brushes and tools. If you read the introduction to makeup in this section, I said “it isn’t a problem to mix your make-up brands, but I don’t…because I don’t have to....

Ahh…colors. One of my favorite subjects! During the last few weeks, I have posted about each “Color me Beautiful” season. For autumns, I chose Julia Roberts. For springs, it was Scarlett Johansson. Princess Kate was my winter, and Emily Blunt is a great example of a...

Dowdy denim. Now, that has a ring to it, but I wouldn’t be happy if that was a comment under one of my posts. Seriously, I don’t think anyone says, “Yes, please sign me up for that dowdy look.” How does dowdy happen? Many stop looking in the mirror, therefore tweaks...

Does makeup make a difference? Look at the photo and you will say a resounding yes! For years, this has been my makeup go-to thought…younger women wear makeup to look more sophisticated and older women wear makeup to look younger. At almost 69, I am in the older...

When you are invited to a black-tie event and “dressy” is not your go to, try not to spend a fortune on a dress or outfit you might wear once. It is a shame to feel buyer’s remorse. I made a video for you to see what you can do with sequins pieces after the event. ...

Lipstick is not a life requirement. One can live a fulfilling life without it, but why not have a relationship with lipstick? You might be the one who loves one color, and you have it everywhere…in your drawer, your purse, your car, and in your desk drawer. Perhaps,...

Halloween makeup can be fun. Your skin can enjoy the event as well. Pre and post skin care will easily take care of that. Before you go to town on your makeup, use the foundation primer. It will fill in fine lines and pores and it will help you to prevent clogged...

I recently needed new glasses. There was a slight adjustment in the prescription. Therefore, my old glasses still worked. Hooray! An opportunity for a new look, and variety! While looking at new frames, I decided to get a neutral and a bright pair. This was a...

I read an article in the New York Times. “Linda Evangelista’s British Vogue cover presents an antiquated vision of fashion.” That caught my eye. Linda Evangelista seemed like the “it” girl in the 90’s. Kenar, who was my biggest supplier during that time, was very...

I came across this questionnaire and thought it was right on for determining which foundation formula and color is right for you. Thank you, Mary Kay, on this subject. Beauty is an industry that is overcrowded with opinions and products. It’s easy to waste money and...

Do you look at makeup videos and wonder…hey what the heck? The transitions are quick, and you really don’t see what the model did. It’s fun to look at but difficult to follow. I found a look I thought was fabulous and recreated it for you, using Mary Kay products. I...

I have been looking at photos of women in joggers for quite some time. They look uber comfy, but I kept on avoiding the look for me. I had the feeling it would add too much to my hips. And…I really don’t like the look of pulling in the crotch. Ugh…so unattractive!...

I have often heard, “I look terrible in yellow”. Did you know everyone has a shade of yellow which is “your color”? That works with almost all shades of color. Some are your most flattering, and others…not so much. Let’s talk about yellow for now. Most of the photos...

When you pack to travel, do you bring too much? Do you do without? Do you pack in advance? Or, are you a last minute packer? I have always packed last minute, and since I have traveled so much, it never seemed like a big deal. I’m pretty good at it. I wanted to...
