In May, I decided to try another subscription box. I signed up for the monthly Ipsy box. It's $10 monthly or $110 for a yearly subscription and you save $10. Let me say that this box did not disappoint. It came with 5 items from Pacifica, Zoya, Mirabella, Anastasia and Yaby.

Taboo. Plague. Stay-away-from-her were the thoughts and feelings I had while going through the most unfortunate of relational events - divorce.  Not only is divorce devastating and painful, when kids are involved, the pain is indescribable.  I decided to turn my pain into something productive - an event to encourage other mothers to find resilience in their inner and outer beauty.  Beauty is power!  Yet beauty is the very thing we let go of during and after divorce.  This does not have to be…

I just had to share with you all just how WONDERFUL the Motives cosmetics line is. As you can see, this young lady had a tattoo on her back and we used Motives foundation and it completely covered her tattoo. If you didn't already know it was there from the picture on the left, you wouldn't even know she had a tattoo at all.

Motives cosmetics line is truly amazing and we have FULL COVERAGE makeup that…

Samelia’s Favorites for the Spring Beauty 2011

 

 

Many of you have started asking me what makeup looks you should wear for spring.

 

As I told you last spring, I am a huge fan of natural-looking self–tanner and bronzer. There is nothing better then keeping a healthy glow without having to damage your skin by baking in the sun, although I know some of you will go in the sun away!

Purchasing Eau De Parfum travel size versions of high end fragrances are a perfect alternative for perfum lovers on a budget. These smaller versions are typically called Travel Purse Sprays, Roll-Ons, Rollerballs, or Portable Fragrances. They range in size from 0.20 to 0.68 ounces. Price can range from $18 to $70, depending on the brand and quantity. Some manufactures sell their travel size versions in pairs or more -- not a necessary purchase if you're trying to budget. Remember, when it comes… Continue

When I started on my green journey, one of the first things I changed was all of our personal care products. Everything from shampoo to body wash to lotion. I learned that all of the items we were using were loaded with chemicals that were not doing us any good. Some of the dangerous ingredients you will find on traditional products are formaldehyde, parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate and sadly, so much more. I want to quickly take a look at one of these to… Continue

A bit ago, I interviewed Leonardo Manetti of ION Studio. He shared some wonderful hair tips for all the Bionic Beauties out there. Since Leonardo and I are both Davines hair care fans- they are sponsoring a giveaway of… Continue

So I have been using this product on my girls now for a while and like it, but it has become more and more difficult to find. Menders prime hair-hair balance cream oil moisturizer was recommended to me a while back by my youngest daughters pre-school teacher. I fell in love with it, because it kept their hair moist and you didn't have to use a lot of the product, so it didn't weigh the hair down either. It… Continue

SKIN CARE AND CHARITY

Already talked about the rather awesome "soap with a rainforest essential oils are " but now that I'm getting to know the brand a little better, I realized that I'd left out the most important part.

For every 5 bar of soap sold, Natural Handcrafted Soap donates one to Rainforest organizations in Brazil



Anyway, it got me thinking about skin care companies that give back, so here… Continue
