One Serum To Fight All The Wrinkles #AzureNaturals

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

Wrinkles - who wants 'em? Not me.  I'm fighting them with several ingredients, and I'm always happy when I find a serum that combines several of these wrinkle-fighters in one!

Body Blur and Glow! #VitaLiberata

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

As a pasty-white kid, growing up, I so desperately wanted to be tan.  I tried laying out with baby oil, and other tan-enhancing products, and I would just burn and peel.  When I tried my first 'sun-less tanning' product, it left me orange.  So, I learned to accept my translucent skin, and it was even trendy to be pale for awhile.

While I'm okay with being pale, there are times when I want to have a natural glow.  I was apprehensive about fake tanning products, for fear of the Cheetos Radioactive look, but I've been impressed with many natural-looking products that are available now, like the new Body Blur from Vita Liberata!

Santa Hat

Hello, Fireflies!

I can't believe December is almost over.  This year is flying by!  Today, I have the last of my Negative Space nails to show you.  I haven't done a lot of holiday nailart this year, but I couldn't resist this one.

Negative Space Snow Flakes

Hello, Fireflies!

Time, yet again, for another installment of the Nail Challenge Collaborative's monthly theme.  I've been having so much fun thinking of negative space nail art this month.  Today's is... well, not exactly what I was going for.  A snowflake fail?  You decide!

Negative Space Glitter Chevron Tips

Hello, Fireflies!

Time for the second installment of this month's challenge, Negative Space.  This week, I do a glittery twist on a classic chevron French tip.

Ruffled Two-Piece

Hello, Fireflies!

Welcome to a new month, and a new challenge theme from the Nail Challenge Collaborative! I'm excited about this month's theme - Negative Space.  I love the concept, but don't use it that often, so I'm glad for the practice!

Planetary, Intergalactic

Hello, Fireflies!

I'm combining two, yes, TWO challenges in today's nailart:  The Sunday Stamping challenge is to leadlight a negative space mani, and the Space challenge is Planets.  So...

Exposed my Skin for 30 Days

Press Samples. All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

I showed you my Exposed Skincare unboxing about a month ago, and I'd like to share with you how this facial regimen worked for me.  I have some before and after pix to show you, too.

You're So Vain (Pursuits), You Probably Think This Skincare's About You...

Product provided for review.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

Growing up in the 1970's meant that all the personalized products I saw were for girls named Jennifer and Katherine - I never saw my name on anything! As an older woman, I still feel pretty unique in that department, and even as a woman with aging skin that's still oily and prone to breakouts, I still feel like my skincare needs are fairly specialized, and not just anything off the shelf will do.  With Vain Pursuits, I get fulfill the needs of both that little girl I was and the older woman I am! Win/Win!

Firmoo - Fashion For Your Face

Product provided for review.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

Did you ever hear, 'Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses"?  Well, it's not true, and even more so when you're wearing glasses that are as pretty as the ones I got from Firmoo.com.  I've been wearing glasses since I was around 7, and had never ordered them online before.  There's a bit of a learning curve, but it was much easier than I thought it would be!

Love that color!

 Hello, Fireflies!

Today's challenge is about the color I love.  Well, my favorite color is midnight blue, but it's hard to find a perfect midnight blue polish that doesn't go too black.  Plus, it doesn't really say 'Valentine's' to me.  So, I picked my husband's favorite color, purple.

Grungy Candy Striper Stamping

Hello, Fireflies!

Today's AIS challenge is 'negative space'.  Mine's more of a 'fail space'.
