Remember The Plums!

Ok Ladies, We know every day we may not feel like putting on makeup but we want to put on makeup we just want something on our face. We want to do something, but new and real quick, effortless, always remember purple eyes, red lips..here is what I mean. These colors will give you a quick easy look to go from day to evening..during the day, do your eyeliner, mascara and slight red on the lips w/ a little gloss, then to evening, add purple to the crease of the eyelid, remove the gloss and go bold and matte with your red lip color you already have. I promise this a quick 5 minute easy make up look…the pictures are below along with the products I used for my look. 

Smoldering Plum for blush, Jammin' in eye shadow duo, and Lip color is Matte Crimson. All products are by Clinique.

Put Yourself On the List!

Time has taught me how important it is to declutter mentally.  We work, work, and work some more, and then repeat, without scheduling time for ourselves and taking mental breaks.  Sometimes we think if we are not physically doing something: typing, researching, talking, checking tasks off, then, somehow, we are not being productive.  Mental breaks are needed to make sure we are still owning our lives, situations, goals instead of our lives, situations, and goals owning us.  We need mental breaks to be sure that we are still doing what we are doing for OUR right reasons.  Notice I said, “OUR right reasons” not the reasons that other people think we should have, but the reasons that will allow us to be as fulfilled as we can possibly be.  Mental breaks will “un-cloud” us.  We need mental breaks to be sure that we are keeping the right people around us.  Mental breaks will show us who we need to love from a distance.  Mental breaks will open us up to new opportunities and higher levels of creativity.  Mental breaks are our chance to THINK; think about our next big move, to think about what opportunities we can create.  Most of all, mental breaks are free.
