Here we are - August, which by the way, is half way over! Golly! It's been awhile since I've done a beauty review, so today I'm sharing the most covetable items in my medicine cabinet. These are true time-savers not to mention brilliant inventions that have left me feeling like a bronzed goddess despite my lack of actual sun time.
Read MoreMy girls were fortunate to have inherited my husband's lush, wavy hair. Which also means I have the good fortune of chasing after them with a brush in hand every morning as I try to detangle snarls and style their hair for the day.
Read MoreI love beauty with a purpose. A cause. That's what today's Beauty 411 is about. Today I'm going to sing the praises of Lindi Skin because it's awesome!
Founded in 2003, this line was designed for people undergoing cancer treatment. You can imagine how important safety and the calming qualities had to be. These healing properties were intrinsic to restoring patients skin while giving them a spa-like escape. In fact, all the ingredients were carefully researched and designed to combat bacterial and microbial growth which is critical when immune systems are compromised.
Read MoreLet me preface this with one simple fact - Goldie, if you're reading this, I love you and adore you.

And let's face it, I'm not sure if these "color shampoos" really preserve and ensure longer-lasting color, however; I'm not about to roll the dice.
My color is expensive so extending it is a non-negotiable. Don't believe me? Ask my husband who is still astonished at the monthly expense that hits our bank statement.

Read MoreA famous rock band once wrote these extraordinary lyrics that soon became the mantra of an entire generation:
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game

All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
-- The Beatles
