happy, healthy & hot

It passed with flying colors!

  What’s that you ask?  Urban Decay’s waterproof mascara, called Cannonball.  I’ve really been putting it to the test here in Mexico, with kayak races, lots of beach and pool time, and my favorite pool game, Magic Carpet, where you are running across the water on an extremely long yoga mat, and of course eventually […]

My latest obsession

is an anti-aging duo of serum and oil from Annmarie Gianni Skin Care.  I guess I should really say one of my latest obsessions.  The others are “My House” by FloRida, which I can’t get enough of, and Neff beanies, which you see me wearing in a lot of my pics.  I’ll let you in on a […]

Collagen confusion

“Which brand of collagen should I buy?” That’s another question I get asked a lot!  There are two popular brands on the market, Vital Proteins and Great Lakes. There are some differences between the two, but I’ve had great results with both.  It’s kind of like asking which boy band you like better…1D or 5sos?  Love […]

[…]

I get drawn in by the naughty names

of Urban Decay cosmetics.  The selection of colors is nice.  So is the promise of long wear.  But mostly it’s the names.  “All-nighter” make-up setting spray.  “Perversion” mascara.  A lip liner called “Catfight.”  Who could resist? As I mentioned in my post Makeup confessions, I am extremely picky about what I put into my body.  And […]

It’s everywhere….even at Urban Outfitters

What am I talking about?  Dry shampoo.  I keep seeing it in magazines (the ones I subscribe to and don’t have time to read!) and when I run into Ulta.  And then last week at the checkout at Urban Outfitters.  Hey, if the hip teens and twenty somethings shopping at Urban Outfitters are using it, […]

Makeup confessions

I love makeup…always have, always will.  It’s not like I wear a ton of it, I just think it’s fun to buy and wear.  At places like Sephora and Ulta, everything is just so pretty and fun…it makes me happy! So after putting the best foods into my body to nourish my skin, and cleansing, […]
