My NEW Blog Design & A Giveaway to Celebrate

December 25, 2013

I want to start this post with a Merry Christmas to all of my friends and family!  I appreciate each and every one of you.  You all make my heart happy!  I hope that all of your holiday wishes came true.

As you may know, I love to change things around and organize things on a pretty regular basis.  I think my life is always a work in progress.  I’ve been blogging for about 3 years now and decided to change up my blog design (once again) for the new year.  As always, I hired Jenn from Munchkin Land Designs to help me create or re-create my vision.  This time I wanted something simple, clean and easy to read with an air of sophistication.  Let me know what you think of my new design.

So, with this new blog design comes a giveaway.  I LOVE doing giveaways and this gives me a great reason to do one. One of my favorite things to give away is an Amazon gift card.  I feel like I can buy nearly anything at all that I might need on Amazon.com.  I also love buying their gift cards because I can send them to recipients via email with just the click of the mouse.

The only requirements for this giveaway are:
1.  Leave a comment on this post.
2.  Follow my blog.
3.  Like my blog on Facebook (for an extra entry).
Thanks for stopping by!!
Good Luck!


a Rafflecopter giveaway
*I paid for the Amazon gift card that I am giving away with my own money

What’s making you smile today?😁 Let me know in the comments.💖

I’m sharing some of my best sellers from the pas I’m sharing some of my best sellers from the past few weeks because they’re also some of my favorites. As you can see, I’m a pretty casual outfit kind of gal most of the time.

I do love getting dressed up too, but casual is my go-to every day style.💗

Are any of these outfits calling your name?

Just say shop and I’ll magically send you the info.

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃 The Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!

I absolutely loved all the dresses and accessories I absolutely loved all the dresses and accessories I tried on! I ended up buying the orange striped shirtdress that day, picked up another one a few days later, and I'm still dreaming of one more.🤦🏻‍♀️

Now, bring on that beach vacation or call me to go to brunch! I’m ready and I have the perfect dress!👗 

Comment SHOP for the links and sizing info.🥰
