Everyday Style and Goal Setting: #OOTD OR #WIW

Recently, I have shared several Instagram photos wearing a blanket scarf and coordinating accessories.  Primarily because it’s very cold and blanket scarfs are a quick option to add a touch of chic to any outfit.

They’re inexpensive and layer over sweaters, button-down shirts, and cute dresses.  I’ve also struggled with keeping my head warm and will quickly grab a leather hat.

Aside from the brisk weather we are embarking upon the New Year.  This is the perfect time to re-evaluate goals, aspirations, and relationships whether it’s family or friends.

I have started to map out the direction of my personal and professional objectives. A few of my goals are volunteering and implementing new elements to my business.

I like to take goal setting a step forward by purchasing organizational tools that will keep me on track.  What are your goals for the upcoming year?  How do you re-evaluate and make changes?

Talk of Alabama Lifestyle Segment: Breast Cancer Awareness Fall Must-Haves

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  To celebrate efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation I hosted a Lifestyle Segment with ABC 33/40 on Monday, October 30, 2017.  The television appearance featured beauty and wellness tips to help women that are undergoing cancer treatment.

A few of the suggestions discussed on-air included the use of hair turbans, scarfs, mineral makeup, and water-based nail polish.  Companies such as STILA Cosmetics provided makeup from the Living Beauty Collection and Dana’s Bakery shipped Pink Cotton Candy Macaroons that encouraged proceeds to be donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation.

This particular segment was dear to my heart because my mother is a Lymphatic Cancer survivor.  Special thank you to Talk of Alabama for allowing me to share cancer related beauty tips with a local audience!

Talk of Alabama Lifestyle Segment: Fashion Week 2017 Celebrity Beauty Trends

I hosted a Lifestyle Segment with Talk of Alabama sharing Fashion Week 2017 Celebrity Beauty Trends.  Dana Benson from The Esthetic Loft and Nicole Stephani from mybodyboop.com joined the segment to discuss the benefits and application of eyelash extensions.

This particular lifestyle segment featured products to help everyone at-home enhance their natural beauty and provide makeup tips from New York Fashion Week 2017.

According the segment a few of the beauty trends seen on the runway included metallic eye shadow (whether in cream or powder) along with illuminating or strobing the face.  

Several celebrities use HD Invisible Foundation to provide an airbrushed look on-camera while reducing the appearance of pores.

The popular makeup technique of highlighting and contouring defines the cheekbones along with the use of Artis Elite Makeup Brushes to give a flawless finish.

When using Artis Elite Makeup Brushes recognize that each brush has an individual purpose and minimal product should be applied.  The products presented on ABC 33/40 included:
