Lipstick never fails me!  Every time I put it on, it makes my day!!!

Here is to wearing LIPS!!! :-)) KISS KISS

Clean Waxing!!

I have mentioned before that I love getting my eyebrows threaded!!  I still do, but it isn't as convenient for me because I have a wax pot at home and my favorite "threading spa" involves an hour of time for a 5 min service (when my kids tag along :-)).  Which by the way is a huge sacrifice i have given up (for the time being ;-)) because I really really really LOVE getting them threaded!!!

I have tried to tackle the threading skill but it's just not for me at this time, so I have fallen in love with my wax pot again!!!

While waxing my eyebrows I prided myself on how clean I have kept my pot ;-) You deserve the same thing right??? REMEMBER: there should be no double dipping! Imagine someone just double dipped while performing a Brazilian right before your lip and eye wax ewww haha (I'm sure it has happen.........we just don't want to know about it.  It's all about sanitation safety to keep from spreading "germs", disease, dirt, bugs :-?, etc. lol  Anyway...........................

Here is to waxing your eyebrows with a clean pot!! :-)

And cheers to everyone who gets there eyebrows threaded, I'm jelly LOL

Love Candy Girl!! kiss kiss

Handbag Display!

I use to throw all my handbags in a bag or close them up and forget I had them.  Of course I DREAM of a walk in closet set up like a clothing store!!!!!!!!! :-)  Until then, I will improvise and do what I can :-). 

If you are still using plastic bags, have old news paper or saved stuffing from the purchase, recycle it and stuff them in your bags when you are not using them.  Make them nice and plump like you see in a department store.  This helps keep your bags in great shape, firm and smooth.  I especially do this with my designer bags to keep them in tip top shape for resale, trade, or keepsake!!

Even if you do not have room to display them......at least try to keep them plump ;-)

I am learning to cherish my pieces and take care of them! :-) LOVE IT..........here are a few pics......it makes a huge difference!

    SAD HANDBAG :-(           HAPPY HANDBAG :-)

 Here's to keeping handbags in great condition!!! :-)

Love Candy Girl!! :-)

FROM CLASSIC TO GLAM!!!

Always looking to spice things up!! ;-) I decided to turn an old clutch into something new.  I went to Hobby Lobby and brought 3 spools of faux feathers and sewed about 4 straps on each side.  I used fabric glue for a quick, easy, seamless closer.  Check It OUT!!....

CLASSIC BEFORE!!

GLAM AFTER!!!

 

I still adore the classic look.......I just think something original is hard to come by and if I think about it......I make it happen!! ;-)  Plus I can always invest in a new classic clutch. :-)

Tell me........ CLASSIC or GLAM Style??

Here's to Glamin' it up!!

Love Candy Girl :-)

Mothers Day Make Over....Black and White Glam!!!

For Mothers Day, I was really happy to get dolled up in my hair, make up, heels etc.  I wanted to celebrate motherhood looking and thinking on top of my game.  ;-) That's all I ever want LOL.  I pin curled my hair .........which gave me this FABULOUS sort of Old Hollywood side flowing curls and applied a full face of make up (Nothing says glam like a red lip!).

I had been waiting for the perfect occasion to where this dress I got last year from an online store called Sabo Skirt. <3 <3 <3

 Shoes-Bakers

Jewelry- Styles of Candyland

Color of Nails - White :-)

I thought I should capture this idea in Black and White!

I felt soooooo good on the inside and out! I was radiating with confidence.......which is why I kept making Skylar take more photos! haha

As a little girl I wanted to be a fashion designer and/or stylist! I have a knack for fashion and over all imagery! Although I have yet to finish my Fashion Design degree....I think it is appropriate to say I am a Stylist in all areas. "I am a every women, it's all in me........!!! Anything you want done babay I'll do it naturally"! LOL

I love what I do and my industry! I am truly passionate and use "it" in all areas of my life.  I understand the feeling of getting dressed with all the small details that make a big difference for only a couple of hours.  To "play a part" and "dream" of an image you were not born with.  It really means the world to some of us and I am here to make that happen! I have a journey ahead of me and I am ready to stay on the road I was born to take!! :-)

Here is to.........the glamorous side of black and white PLUS.....LIVING OUT YOUR DREAMS!! ;-)

Love Candy Girl!! Kiss Kiss

Roses in the Bathtub :-)

No question about it, Roses are beautiful and romantic! They also pamper your skin and make you feel glamorous!  Soooooo Of course I put them in my bath water ;-).  When I get Roses from my Love :-) not only do I put them in a vase and admire the beautiful chi it adds to my home, but I put the pedals in my SUPER HOT bath water and relax.......until my girls (kids) start banging on the door. :-) haha   Read an article Here to see 7 great benefits of Rose. :-)

I SAY YES......YES TO.....B-B CREAM!!

I have seen it on commercials and heard about it on-line.  I never truly thought I would use or need it.  But as time went on I really wanted a tinted moisturizer to use on "no make-up days" but still look put together.  Not only does BB Cream do that, but it seriously makes my skin seem light, healthy and soft.

I am wearing Dream Fresh Beauty Balm Deep Sheer Tint by Maybelline $8.00 (From Target) Natural lighting from my kitchen @ 10am

•  Blurs imperfections
• Brightens
• Evens skin-tone
• Smoothes
• Hydrates
• Enhances
• Protects with SPF 30
• 0% Oils and heavy ingredients

I can also use it as a primer if I am applying foundation for nights out or during the winter months.  I really like the idea of makeup and skin care combinations!! It will improve your skin over time, NOT break it out!!  I"M ON THIS TRAIN!! and want to learn more about it!!

During the spring and summer months make-up can sweat off, melt off and look unflattering.  Most of us need something lightweight to give our skin a nice shimmery glow.  This cream is sheer, so it DOES NOT give you full coverage!  Acne, pimples or blemishes will not be covered by this product only, so it's perfect for use with concealer and/or powder.

I would also suggest this if you are new to the foundation world. :-)) You could also try Tinted Moisturizers, Glow Creams, CC Creams etc.! Have you jumped on this train? lol Let me know what you think.

Here's to Beauty Balm 8 in 1 :-)......

Are you wearing make up?.... Of course not LOL

Love Candy Girl!!
