#SMILE

So, as much as I love to smile, I have to admit I'm very self conscious of anything involving my mouth--like big teeth-y smiles or speaking publicly! I know where these insecurities come from and even though I can reason through them in my mind, I still don't typically draw attention to my mouth on purpose. I have to be feeling super bold and confident when I get the guts to throw on a red lipstick!!

Anyway, after seriously going back and forth in my mind and ultimately deciding that I wasn't going to let my insecurity get the best of me, I decided to participate in a 10 day toothpaste challenge to see what sort of whitening results I could get. I drink coffee daily, enjoy red wine, and I do NOT use a whitening toothpaste. Just the basic Colgate, or Arm and Hammer, or Crest, or honestly whatever is on sale at target when I run out. So I figured, what the heck...what do I have to lose? Let's give this AP-24 Whitening with Fluoride toothpaste a try and see if I could get any good at home results....

I used AP-24 each morning for the first 10 day trial. The toothpaste is a little different in texture then I am used to. It is not as thick, paste-y and it doesn't lather up as much as my typical toothpaste. It's not bad, just different. Oh, and it has a very subtle vanilla/mint flavor. I wonder if I would have used the toothpaste both morning and night if I would have seen even whiter teeth or maybe just whiter sooner??  Looking back at my pictures I can totally see brightening and whitening results! 

Without a doubt I am a believer in this product! The proof that it works is in the putting...and my pics!! Give it a try y'all and let me know what you think!!

He thought I was 24!!!!

I am literally weeks away from turning 30 years old and to tell you the truth….very excited about it. I’m not all caught up in feeling like I’m getting old and all that hoopla. I’ ve always thought I’ ve looked young for my age and have enjoyed growing up and maturing. I was taken aback recently when somebody I see on a regular basis due to work related duties commented on me being the same age as they were after telling me they were 24 years old….I was shocked. I was like, “honey, you’re just a baby!” and he commented back about how we were the same age and I was like, “NO……I’m hitting 30 here!” He was really surprised. Well I thought about this little fortunate exchange of words for a while. What about me make people think I am younger than what I actually am? I’ ve always been on more of the mature side. My best friends are all older than me….even by 8 or more years. So it’s not me acting immature that makes me look young. I’ ve had two kids so I don’t have that cute hip body an...

A "Wrinkle" in Time (pun intended)

First things first. I need to just touch on this span of time that has gone by in a wink of an eye. A span of time that has taught me some valuable life lessons along with some tough love, and thankfully moments of pure joy. A decade. An entire decade. This is the amount of time that has gone by since I first started dabbling in documenting my experiences with cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances! Whoa, geez! So much has happened over the past decade. An experience of broken bone hell (you can read all about it at: diary of my broken ankle hell ), degrees earned (SpEd teaching credential and Masters Degree), careers started (from freelance makeup artist to high school special education RSP teacher), purchased and built a new home, my awesome sassy pants daughter graduated from high school and eventually moved on to study marketing in the beauty industry at FIDM (a girl after my own heart!),  a sweetheart son who recently turned eighteen and is on the verge of graduating high school...

In My Makeup Bag

Okay you all. Hold on tight because I have an awesome product to share with you. It's Matte by MAC Cosmetics . This product is something I've carried in my kit for a couple of years but for some reason it had gotten pushed to the back of my case behind everything else. Kind of like that always great fitting t-shirt that you love and from time to time it gets misplaced or forgotten about but when you find it again and wear it, it feels so right! That is Matte for me in the makeup realm. I was reminded of it today. I was finishing up a consultation that I had with a client and soon to be bride. She looked beautiful. Stunning really! She was perfectly satisfied with her makeup application and felt gorgeous.....but I knew she was missing something. I couldn't put my finger on it at first because of her beautiful blue eyes that were so striking because of the soft smoky plum colors we had applied to her lids and her perfectly pouted peachy glossed lips and her sun-kissed bron...
