As I have mentioned several times before, I am really more of a big necklace, bigger handbag, and no makeup kind-of-a gal. Well after having an image is everything conversation with my friends, I decided to take a walk on the wild side and give this makeup thing a try.

 

If I had to choose, I prefer a precisely groomed brow, light mascara, and a colored lip. I honestly didn't know exactly where to start because the sea of makeup is endless. The one thing I knew for sure was that I didn't want to put a lot of money into my initial makeup investment. With that thought, I decided to visit my local beauty store.

 

I ran across some amazing shades of red ranging from bright to deep. I must say that the color options were exciting and what iced the cake was the low cost attached to these lipstick. There were at least 20 plus color choices of the Ruby Kisses Color Design Lipsticks and they were only a buck! That's right $1. I picked up two for now to see if I can actually commit to applying them daily. I will keep you posted.

Has the thought of the coming holiday shopping season got you feeling a little not so cheerful? Have you ever felt like giving a gift certificate as a gift was too impersonal? Have you been worried about the embarrassment that comes with selecting the wrong size for the gift recipient? Well worry no more! I have put together a little gift guide that will fit your budget as well as the person you are gifting.

Winter Wonderland is exactly what came to mind when I laid eyes on the stunning accessory. The bold blue hues intertwined with the elegance that the gold brings makes for one gorgeous gift. This necklace set is $18.

The To Do-over!

It's amazing how time seems to fly in certain areas of your life while in others it seems to be at a standstill. One thing I've learned over the last month or so is that time waits for absolutely no one! When life starts firing shots with the intent to kill our joy, consistency and progress, we must try out best to dodge the bullets and continue on our way.

Often times we feel that if we can't check everything off of our "To Do List" then we haven't accomplished anything at all. Oh contraire. Even if you only get the opportunity to pen a bold black line through one item on that list, know that you have covered some ground.

Writing down the things that you need to get done in a timely manner is definitely a vital step in the journey of completion. However, we must learn how not to set ourselves up for failure by creating unattainable goals.

A great place to start would be to simply think of three things that you would like to see get done by the week's end. Jot those three to-do's down in order of importance. Gather your thoughts around what it will take to see the item of greatest importance through and make that your mission for the day.

Holding yourself accountable for one task each day will ensure that you are actually productive and accomplishing the things that you have set out to do. It's never too late to start again.
