There are certain things that I like, and then there are other things that I love. Here are some of the skincare and haircare products I love and currently use. I have a fairly low-maintenance skincare and haircare routine, which is a blessing considering the fact that I’m nearing the big four-oh (40)! My skincare routine is simple. I wash my face with Mary Kay facial cleansing cloths. Then I moisturize with either Josie Maran Argan Oil (mornings) or grapeseed oil (at night). I never wore make-up growing up, except maybe concealer. I did experiment with make-up several times in either high […]
A Few of My Favorite Quotes From “Pinterest”
I’ve been hitting PINTEREST pretty hard these past few days and have found some really great quotes, so I thought I’d share them with you. Have a quote-worthy day!
A Nod to Someone’s Artwork

I was feeling very independent in […]
A Few of My Favorite Actors…
“Some people get into this business and they’re so afraid to lose anything. They try to protect their position like clinging to a beachhead. These actors end up making really safe choices. I never wanted to go that route. If I go down, I’m going down swinging.” – Matt Damon For me, actors, specifically male actors, can make or break a movie. If the actor doesn’t connect with his co-stars or the chemistry is off, then the movie kind of feels blah for me. Does this happen to anyone else? But this list of male actors crosses all stages – […]
