It’s never too late to take care of your skin or start a new skincare routine. I’ve noticed that my skin gets a little blotchy and dry, especially in the colder winter months, so I’ve needed to change things up a bit. I was recently …
I’m always interested in the next big thing when it comes to skincare and I recently was got a preview of coming attractions—Tranexamic Acid. This skincare ingredient is proving to be incredibly effective for minimizing hyperpigmentation, which is caused by an increase in melanin, the …
Now that I’m over the age of 50 my eyesight has really been going downhill. Every year I have to get a new eye exam and glasses to keep up with the changes. I’m sure many people who hit their mid-life years are experiencing the same.

One thing that was really getting difficult for me to do was applying my make-up. Yes, that’s right. I couldn’t see very well to put my make-up on and was always poking myself in the eyes. Getting mascara, eye shadow, eyeliner, etc. into your eyes can cause damage not to mention the burning senstion that you get.
To solve that issue I purchased a new Wall Mount Cosmetic Mirror with 10X Magnification and had my husband install it. It took him less than 3 minutes to attach it to the wall beside our bathroom mirror. It features 1X and 10X magnification. I could of gotten one with 5X magnification, but went to 10X so that I can have it for several years before it would need upgraded again.
The costmetic mirror rotates 360 degrees so I can get the perfect angle that I need and it gives me a crystal-clear, distortion-free view! It has a 9″ diameter optical-quality mirror (that’s important) which allows me to view my entire face! I love the nickel-brushed finish because it works well with our other bathroom accessories.
Thinking back…I should of gotten one a lot sooner! Boy, was I behind the 8-ball on that!!! I love that I can now see what I’m doing and I can see all of the things I was missing…you know…those little chin hairs, stray eyebrow hairs, age spots, etc. My make-up application is so much easier and quicker now that I can clearly see what I’m doing! To be honest, hubby loves using it for shaving too!

Now that the holiday season as officially kicked off, it can be a busy and stressful time of year. I tend to focus on all of the things I need to do to make the holidays happy for everyone else, but what I forget it …
Investing in our skin is something that we should all be doing—using the right products and staying hydrated and two keys ways that I keep my skin looking and feeling good. I experience a breakout now and then, and of course, see my teen struggle …
Two decades ago I wasted a lot of money running out for professional manicures and pedicures at a local salon. Back then I was under the assumption that I couldn’t grow long nails. Furthermore, I wasn’t very talented when it came to painting them. When I say wasted a lot of money…in the thousands!
Fast forward to now where I’m smarter and much more frugal with my time and money. I now look forward to doing my own manicure and pedicures at home. I save a ton of money doing it myself. Over the next few weeks I’ll introduce you to the products that I’ve been buying and using. I have great success with them.
First up. Color Street 100% Real Nail Polish Strips. My cousin is a stylist with this company and that’s how I was introduced to the product. It’s great for those who aren’t good at polishing their own nails or toes. The strips are peel and stick. Easy-Peasy!
You can get the 100% Real Nail Polish Strips in oodles of different colors. You can get matte finish, glitter, sparkle, etc. You can get French manicure too. Each pack comes with 16 long-lasting polish strips along with instructions on how to apply them. No…you don’t apply them with glue. Peel and stick!
Once you have them on your nails you’ll shape it around your natural nail. Long, medium or short nails, it doesn’t matter. Instructions are on the pack. After I’ve applied the strips it takes me another 15-20 minutes to get them just the way that I like them. You can add a top coat if you want but it’s not necessary. I sometimes do and sometimes don’t.
I love the ease of Color Street. I’ve been using them on and off for several months. I still enjoy painting my nails the old-fashion way myself, but I love using the nail color strips when I pressed for time or for special occasions. There’s no drying time with the strips at all. Quick, Fast, and Easy.
