Girls Need To Share Their Beauty Secrets

 

Girlfriends, daughters and moms. Love them. Yes, men are amazing but we need those women in our lives to talk shoes, make-up, shopping and hair. After my daughter left for college I realized how much I missed having another girl in the house. I was left with three men and their constant car, cell phones, guns, and computer talk. I needed more estrogen in my world. So after years of squeezing in stolen moments with girlfriends  when time allowed, I made a decision to make carving out more time for girl talk and the women in my life a priority. I learn so much from them.

Case in point, one of my besties, Michele, told me about a youtube video she really liked. The posts are from Kandee Johnson. I subscribed to her video feed and she is adorable. Some of her posts are a bit young for me but most of them would work for any age like this one for a messy updo idea.  Even if you have short hair I think that the front part of this look could be implemented into a chic fun look for an evening out. One of the things I really like about this woman's videos are all of her product suggestions. So many cool things out there and just not enough shopping time to find them all. Thus, girlfriends and their suggestions.

:D

 

I had never heard of that root powder. I will be looking for it though on my next trip to Ulta or Sephora.

 

Thanks Michele for telling me about Kandee Johnson.

I'm so glad you, and now Kandee are a part of my world.

:D

Have a great week.

Motivated Monday posts will resume next week.

Say Yes To A Terrific and Affordable Body Butter

 

 

My daughter asked for this body butter for Christmas so Santa put it in her stocking but Santa thought she must be crazy.

Who would want to smear something all over themselves that smelled like carrots?

Well, shame on me for not know about this  product earlier.

I've never used a body butter. Had never heard of anything but shea butter and I somehow thought that it would be greasy or waxy feeling so I never tried it.

Then, when Liz opened this for me to smell I could tell immediately that it had a soft clean fragrance that wasn't remotely close to anything "carroty".

So, then I decided I was coveting hers and needed one of my own. It is available through the Say Yes website or from Target or Ulta. The entire line my not be available on the Ulta site but I did buy mine in the store for around twelve dollars.

I was first impressed by the feminine and subtle fragrance but what I really fell in love with was how quickly this product absorbed into the skin. It is so much richer than the body lotion I have been using but it didn't feel greasy at all and left my skin feeling softer, silkier, and more moisturized all day long.

 

Then I discovered that they make a grapefruit line too.

This one smells so fresh and clean. I didn't want to smell like a grapefruit either and this option does have a bit of a citrus smell but trust me, it's a good thing.

The added beauty of this formula is that it also fades sun spots. Sadly, I have more than a few of those so this was a definite "Add to cart".

:D

 

There is an entire line of Say Yes To.. products that are designed to address a variety of issues.

 

 

Have you tried any of them?

I'd be curious to hear which ones and what you thought.
