BEAUTY DETAILS
EYESHADOW PALETTES: When I showed this look on Snapchat, many of you wanted details to my eyeshadow look. Here is what I used and some details to the look: Urban Decay SMOKED Palette: I dusted Freestyle all over the entire lid-to-browbone. I then applied the shade Evidence in the outer V (but in a more rounded fashion). From there I used the Laura Mercier Artist Palette. I applied Plum Smoke to the lid, Fresco to merge the brow bone shade and the blue shade. And finished with Vanilla Nuts on the Brow Bone.

Good Morning Everyone! A lot of goodies going on this week. A Youtube Video will come out tomorrow, sharing my April Empties. This is the third month in a row doing an empties video. I love doing those. I hope that you do too ..because I’d like to keep doing them. Monday, I have a hair appointment with Laurie. I go every 5 weeks for a color, cut and style. I am so gray!!! Ugh! We may play with color a little … not sure yet. She blocked off extra time, in case we do. I’m thinking about asking her if we can do a video of me getting my hair colored. Also sharing hair coloring tips. What do you gals think? Would you like a video on that? I may ask her to block off extra time for my next visit, in order for us to do that. In case you didn’t know … I have been going to Laurie for … it will be 24 years in October. I have remained loyal to her. No-one, has touched my hair since the first day cut it. That was done at the salon she worked for at the time. Who remembers the department store, Hudson’s? We are really dating ourselves, Ladies. That department store later, went on to be Marshall Fields .. and now Macy’s. Also on Monday, I am having a late lunch/early dinner with daughter’s 1-3 (Kirstyn, Haley & McKenna). Carly & Chloe (Pips) will still be at school. We are checking out a new restaurant that we have been wanting to try.
Tuesday, I go in for my Coolsculpting. YAY!!!! Get the skinny on that, Here. I am so excited. My love, Nicole from Details & Daydreams Photography and Lularoe is filming the WHOLE PROCEDURE!!!! Watch for that video to come out, soon. Still a skeptic on the whole procedure, itself. But what am I NOT a skeptic about? So negative, I know! lol From there, the week will be a blur. We do have another wedding next Saturday. I will be doing the bride’s makeup. We did a trial run a few weeks ago. She will be a beautiful 50-something bride. I will be wearing the same GORGEOUS Sheath Dress that I wore to Amy’s wedding. I know who does that???? Who wears the same dress that they wore three weeks, prior??? I DO!!!! I have no problem wearing the same dress. No-one, except for my husband, and my kids will know! Well ….. and you guys!!!! See that dress and read my “Tips for Being A Wedding Guest’: Here.
Oh, I don’t want to forget to mention: I have a couple vacations planned for May. I probably won’t get out as many blog posts and Youtube videos. But, on a good note … I will be doing plenty of snapping. YAY!!! You just can’t get away from me!!!
Alright Folks, I better run … to the coffee pot, that is. I am already on to MUG #3. I love that morning buzz!!! Also, I have a Protein & Glutamine order coming today. I ordered a few extra’s: Chocolate, Cookies & Cream and Graham Cracker. It you want on …first come, first serve. Get your order in early and I will ship today!!! The cost: $43 each product + shipping. Email – bodyandbalance@aol.com
I haven’t snapped much this week, on Snapchat. I miss you guys!!! That’s why I thought I would do a little coffee chit chat, here. Hope you enjoyed!!! Have a BEAUTIFUL & BLESSED Saturday!!!!

05/01/2017Hi Tracy!! I’m so intrigued by the cool sculpting. Can’t wait to see the RESULTS!! I think I would be an excellent candidate as I do not have a lot of body fat and have one problem area as well. I have stubborn “muffin top” or as I call it “back fat” that I cannot seem to get rid of, even with exercise. I stay pretty thin, lean and when I exercise consistently my body responds quite well, even for my age, 46. I can’t wait to hear all the details.
On another note, I go in on Thursday for the microneedling skin pen (my first appt.) I’ve had derma peels and they are not effective, just feel like a nice facial. My last derma peel I had hardly any noticeable peeling which tells me it’s not really rejuvenating anything. Anyway, I wasn’t sure if you had done the skin pen method yet. I continue to enjoy your snaps, tutorials and life hacks! We are currently in our 9th month of Dave Ramsey, so my spending has been much curtailed but I love those white skinny jeans you have in this picture. My white skinnies are my least favorite pair and I’m on the look out for a new pair. Have a great week…you look fantastic and you are an inspiration to all of us in our 40’s climbing those darn aging stairs!

05/01/2017Hi Dena! Thank you for sending such a great message! I am eager to find if this Coolsculpting can do anything for me. I am not super confident. I fear that my mid-section issue is so much more excess skin and diastasic. Both untreatable without going the invasive route (under the knife). But he, maybe I will be surprised. I sure hope so! I have never done the skin pen. I have talked briefly to my aesthetician about it. Although she does think that I would benefit from it … she still believes that the Fractional Ablative Laser (Deep Active FX) will give me the best results. It’s quite a bit pricier and there is a few days of downtime. I am hoping to shoot for January to have that done. That is super new about the Dave Ramsey and how it has been working and giving some results. LOVE THAT!!! Thank you for your sweet message! Glad to hear that you are enjoying my content and I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Have a great week, as well!!! xx
