I have a secret that may just cause me to lose a friend or two, but I just have to get it off my chest…I don’t like Pumpkin Spice Lattes or pumpkin spice added in everything. I know, I know, my age, color, and gender suggests that I should, but I just really don’t. I’m sorry if you are hurt by this revelation, but I cannot go on living a lie. đ

Summer is my very favorite time of the year. I love that the days get longer and warmer.
Our family had such a great time together this summer. We had a lot of fun traveling, going to the beach, the zoo, and the fair, swimming in the pool, spending time with friends and each other. Â The days of summer may be longer, but they really seem to go by so much faster.
Unfortunately, while I do enjoy the beauty of fall, it also means that the time of year has come that the summer break has to end. Â I wish summer break lasted all year long, but like all good things it must come to an end. My kids are now back in school and I am back to working more hours at the infusion unit. Â I am very grateful for a wonderful summer filled with happy memories.
What about you, do you get the back to school blues? Â What is your favorite time of year?

Here is a tip to help you to get what you want out of your trip to the hair stylist…
First of all, be realistic about what you are asking for and how it is going to look on you.
Sometimes we look at a picture of a celebrity and think that we want to have the same style that they have.  Sometimes we forget to take into consideration what our own hair’s type, tone, and texture is.  Also think about the shape of your own face as opposed to the face of the celeb that you might want to look like.
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have heart shaped faces, so if you have a round or square shaped face, you won’t look as good with the same haircut that looks best on the two of them.
Although, if you have a heart shaped face like Taylor, consider a layered cut with lots of volume and a side part.
If you have a round face like Sarah Hyland or Jennifer Lawrence your best bet is to tone down the volume.  You don’t want to make your round face look wider than it is long. Wearing your hair with a deep side part will help slim your super-symmetrical face.
Maybe you are like me and have an oval face.  Lucky for us, we have the most adaptable face shape when it comes to choosing a hair style. Pretty much any length, cut, or part will work.
Maybe your face is square shaped like Olivia Wilde or Lucy Liu.  Soft curls, long layers, as well as shorter in the back longer in the front hair styles are best for you.
Of course, you can wear your hair whichever way makes you feel most beautiful. Â But if you are looking for a change, these are some good tips to follow.
This workout is NO JOKE!  This 30 minute workout will be working your abs, butt, and thighs. You’ll need an exercise mat and some 3 or 5 lb weights.  You will be burning some calories with this workout with Jeanette Jenkins!

~Weekly Product Highlight~Loreal Colour Riche La Palette Nude~
I find that every time I use this palette someone will compliment my eye look.  That alone is reason enough for me to recommend you buy this palette.
I went back and forth between whether I wanted to buy this Nude one or the “Nude Intense” purple/ pink hued one. Â I am glad that I chose this one because I really do enjoy it!
If you are looking for a good quality drugstore palette for less than $20, then this palette is perfect! The mid toned  and dark colors are very pigmented. The light shimmery shades are fine, nothing super special, just ok, they still get the job done.  Overall, for the price, it is a great drugstore palette.
There are 7 shimmers and 3 mattesThe mattes are creamy and easy to blend. The shimmery shadows are smooth and not overly powdery, but the lighter shimmery shadows are a bit harder to work with.
These two shadows are the perfect crease transition shade!
While I usually hate the brush that comes with these types of products, I have actually used this one for applying the shadows to my lid.  It is double ended with one end being a sponge tip applicator  and the other is a small brush.  I use the sponge tip to apply the shimmery shadows and surprisingly, I find that it works really well. The small brush side I use for applying shadows to my lower lash line.
Inspired by makeup designers ‘Must Have’ palettes, the La Palette Nude offers everything you need to master the art of nude eyeshadow. Makeup Designer Nude looks curated exclusively for each palette with step by step instructions and live tutorials. 10 highly pigmented shades range from light to dark to flatter every skin tone in 3 shadow finishes: shimmery satin, buttery matte & lustrous sheen.
Eye-designer brush & mirror for effortless application”

I brought my daughter with me to Ulta the other day.
We walked in and she was in heaven. Â I didn’t even tell her what to do and she started swatching up her hands. Â Some things are just genetic. Haha!
When we walked by the Urban Decay eyeshadows she said “These are the most beautiful things of makeup I have ever seen!” Â I have to agree with her. Â I do love all those beautiful eyeshadow colors. Â Her favorite color was “Divebar” which is described as a medium blue w/pink-purple shift.
When we were leaving she picked up the Tartlette In Bloom palette and said, “You can buy this pretty tarte palette for me. Â You already have lots of them so you don’t need it, but I don’t have any yet.”
My husband is in big trouble when she is old enough to wear makeup and we are both wanting to purchase high end products.

I have been doing really well with not making any unnecessary beauty purchases!  I donât think that I have ever gone this long before.  So far, so good.  I have made one purchase that was unnecessary, but that is another post…
As part of my self imposed âstrict no buyâ, I decided to use neglected samples that I have already received. Â Since I started doing this a few months ago I have really enjoyed trying out new things.
I have so many samples from ipsy bags, or Target boxes and others from Walmart beauty boxes. Â I think a lot of times the excitement of getting the new things is greater than that of actually trying out and using the samples. Â I will let you know in a few weeks what I think of each thing and if I would purchase these items based on my thoughts from these samples.
Here is the third group of what I have decided to try outâŚ
Beauty For Real Eyeliner
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream
Jelly Pong Pong Neapolitan Palette
Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream
Loreal Advanced Haircare Smooth Intense Shampoo
Loreal Advanced Haircare Total Repair Shampoo
Olay Active Botanicals
Ren Ever Calm Day Cream
Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse

It is so annoying to be looking amongst your jewelry for the perfect pair of earrings and only being able to find one of them. Â One way I keep all my earrings organized and easy to find is with buttons. Â I insert the earrings into the button holes and have a simple yet ingenious way to keep my earrings together and organized. Â Now whenever I am looking in my jewelry box for a pair of earrings they are already together and easy to find.
You know I love Jessica Smith! Â Here is one of my favorite workouts from her YouTube Channel. Â I love cardio kick boxing workouts. Â I love any workout that is going to get my heart rate up while working my entire body at the same time! Â The next day you’ll feel this workout in you arms, back, and abs.
Take 15-30 minutes and improve your day! Your heath and wellness is worth it! Â Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise! Â No excuses, Just do it!
