A Dollup of Moisture Sunshine!

I am continuously on the hunt for body moisturizer that will satiate my skins thirst for moisture.  Yes, I know I should drink more water, but enough already!  I was gifted with Aveeno’s Shea Butter moisturizer a while back and loved it, but couldn’t find it anywhere after I ran through the bottle. Most recently, I was gifted with a huge glass jar of June Jacob’s Age Defying Body Emulsion and I am in love…again!  I have a small proclivity

Blurred Lines Between Fashion & Beauty

I would love to believe that beauty and fashion are the same, but alas it’s not true.  As a matter of fact, while I consider myself to be stylish person, I am painfully aware of the fact that I am makeup-illiterate in comparison to most beauty divas.  Sure I have a proclivity toward pretty packaging and great coloring, but that’s it. Well, this week a friend of mine who runs her own beauty blog and is definitely beauty-bountiful, Sondra, featured

The ‘Windows to the Soul’ Need More Luscious Doors

  While in New York for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week activities, one can become overwhelmed with all of the “fashion” and “beauty” and I am no different.  I have mentioned previously that eyes can make your face ‘pop’ and it’s the eyelashes that help to make that happen.  I even took it so far as to have a well-attended Eyelash party last year so that other ladies could learn the secret to making your face ‘pop’. It occurred to me in NYC

Camelot Day Spa at The Table Bay Hotel

Today while in Cape Town, Johnica and I had the pleasure of partaking in a bit of ‘exhale’ at the Camelot Spa located inside The Table Bay Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa.  A large part of being stylish and sophisticated is our ability to feel stylish and sophisticated–what better way (besides a massage and a great workout) than with a facial! The staff was very professional and courteous, and the facial hit the spot.  After having spent several hours and
