When I was first approached to review Erth Mineral Make Up , I was rather skeptical as I reside in a euphoric marriage with my present choice of skincare and foundation and would need to put it aside for a period of time to do Erth Minerals justice.

  Currently, it is a personal pet peeve that some bloggers choose to write only favorable reviews. I perceive this behavoir as entirely offensive due to the absurdity connected with the idea that every product (especially cosmetics for women???) would appeal to everyone.

 I threw caution to the wind because I was very impressed with the professionalism of the woman behind the request, as well as the full service offering of related products, mineral makeup education, companion cosmetic brushes and an appealing website.

  Who said a tan is unhealthy? I am not suggesting you spend your vacation on a raft in the Gulf of Mexico tanning BUT do not underestimate the benefit of my first of five simple tips to put you well on your way to gorgeous this summer.

  1. Self Sunless Tan – Why?

• It will make you eye’s appear whiter as well as your teeth. The deepened color on your face will naturally create the illusion.
• Everyone will think you look healthier.
• Makes you appear thinner and will even diminish the unsightly appearance of cellulite.

  I have a couple of favorite Self Tanners in my beach bag. The first is Bella Bronze Sunless tanning Lotion . The Mediterranean blend of Chamomile, Goats Milk, Olive Oil and Shea butter will make you skin feel fabulous while revealing a flawless, deep golden tan…Love it! and no streaking allowed.

SeneSun wash on tanner offers a fail safe application process by applying it with a body poof in the shower and rinsing it off. Step out, towel dry off to discover a light brown bronze tone that will become more intense with a second and third application over the next few days.

  2. Teeth Whitening – Why?

• The added confidence alone is well worth the effort.
• Most teeth have a yellow or gray tint which intensifies with various foods you eat and is never attractive..
• Whiter teeth will naturally make you appear younger and the added benefit will make you smile more often.

  Unless you plan on having your teeth professionally whitened, the winner is Crest White Strips…hands down. Crest White strips are the best over the counter, moderately priced teeth whitening system.

Indulging oneself with high end cosmetics is a luxury that many women cannot afford these days.

Looking and feeling your best doesn’t need to break the bank. Oftentimes, it will only take a couple of low cost cosmetics and beauty regimens to arrive at a brighter and more youthful appearance.  In fact, you may consider subtracting makeup that you deemed necessary in the past when putting your best face forward daily.

1. Never underestimate concealing your way to a flawless finish. A white concealer can easily be blended with your foundation to give you a fully customized color specifically for your skin. Take a small amount of the white concealer and blend it to approximately two shades lighter than your foundation. Dot a small amount of your blended concealer on any brown, green or red spots that need concealing. Use a small brush to stipple your way to blending perfection. Use a more generous amount of concealer under your eyes, let it set and access if you require second layer. This artistic technique of camouflaging your skin imperfections promises to add to the mystery of your age.

Anyone that reads my blog pretty much knows that my days start with Therapy…Ha! Oops! Kidding sort of BUT instead a brisk 6:00am hour long walk with three of my friends all chatting away while solving not only our problems but also the worlds.

(Not quite the picture but more the vision of a neighborhood)

After clearing my head, I walk up my driveway, through the front door and arrive back into my office (home), follow it up with Coffee and “GMA” (Good Morning America) as I begin my day in front of my computer and my work day generally ends on the computer.

I have been struggling with my weight since I quit smoking 18 months ago which is often a HUGE source of frustration because I MISS MY CLOTHES and pride myself in being able to exercise self control!  UGH!

AH HA MOMENT!
