D.I.Y. Matte Lips

 

 

 

Finding your favorite lip color in matte can be hard. Most of the time the company either makes the shade glossy or matte not both. Below you will find three simple and easy steps to turn any lipstick or gloss into a matte lip color.

 

 

 

Things you will need:

 

 

Your favorite Lippie, A powder brush & A translucent powder

 

 

 

Apply your favorite lip color

 

 

 

 

Softly pat and sweep the translucent powder across your lips

 

 

 

 

Once the translucent powder is applied, your lips will be beautifully matte

Xtava Spiral Curler

Lets talk curls! I have tried everything from a traditional curler to the Instyler Tulip. Nothing seems to make and hold curls like the Xtava Spiral curler! Achieve perfectly symmetric curls every time with the Xtava Curlz spiral guide. Never again will you forget to turn off your Curler with the LED button indicating the device is on. The xtava curlz handle is made of high quality insulation materials designed for safety. The secure hold clip guarantees the perfect curl as it locks your hair in place. 360 Degree rotating swivel cord allowing complete freedom of movement.

  I have extremely thick hair that never wants to hold curls, even when I use a ton of hairspray. I'm lucky to hold curls for an hour. With the Xtava Spiral Curler it starts curling with in 30 seconds but I recommend at lease 60 seconds for a nice firm curl. When you clip in your hair its like it knows where to go. It simply and easily guides your hair in place. My curls stayed on their own with no hairspray and lasted for hours!

 I also like the "safe guard" (what guides your hair) it doesn't get very hot. I even left it pressed against my skin while curling with no burns or hurting. All in all I am very impressed. This curler comes in three color choices, pink, blue and orange. It is currently on sale for $19.99.

My Favorite Love Story

  My Favorite Love Story is a awesome shop on Etsy. The owner Jamie makes the beautiful leather strap bracelets. These are becoming more and more popular and I believe she does a tremendous job on bringing out the charms beauty by carefully selecting the best color to go along with it.

  Jamie sent me three of her handmade leather strap bracelets for me to test, try and review. I have to say these are of the best quality. I have bought many of these bracelets from many companies but they could not withstand my day to day tasks. Most of them frayed or just plain broke! Very disappointing. 

 The three I received from the My Favorite Love Story shop I wear constantly. They never leave my wrist. All of them still look brand new and unworn. None of them have frayed or lost their coloring. My Favorite has to be the owl bracelet. Very simple yet very pretty! I love the blue straps she decided to use. The clasps are the best feature of her bracelets. You do not have to fight with the claw clasp as she uses a eyelet clasp making it easy to put them on with one hand!

  You are able to customize any bracelet in her shop. Which is always a plus. Who doesn't like getting exactly what they want? Her prices range from $4.00USD to $17.00USD for a mother and daughter friendship bracelet set.


  Be sure to check out the photos below of her amazing work! When your done hop on over to her shop and check out all she has to offer. These would make lovely Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers!

Yoga Obsessed -Yoga Design Lab

Yes I am completely and utterly Yoga obsessed! I m told the first step is admitting I have a problem! My house is almost overwhelmed with yoga everything! I have tried a ton of different mats most of them cause slipping or just fall apart after a month or so. I am always looking for a mat that will keep up with me. I do my yoga routine twice daily at home and 8 times a month at the gym. Finding a good mat is crucial.


When I was asked to test the Yoga Design Lab Premium Yoga Mat with Carrying Strap I was super excited! When it came in the mail I was like a giddy child on Christmas morning! The Yoga Design Lab Mat is made memory foam. Which allows the mat to be light weight and non-slip. Did I mention this mat is Eco Friendly and Free of Phthalates, Latex, metals, harmful toxins, and SGS Approved and Odorless!

I love the feel of the mat under my feet. It is very soft and the grooves within the mat allow me to stand firm on place with out slipping or falling. The color is mutual so can be used for men or women. I love the car strap. It makes it easy to pick up and take with me no matter where I go! This is the only Yoga mat I will use and recommend!
