This request came from bride-to-be Kelly and she asks, “Do you have any plans to add bridal tips to your blog (longevity, showing up in photos, etc)?”   I actually hadn’t thought about it until Kelly mentioned it, but what a great idea! See, this is why I enjoy receiving mail from you, ladies! You inspire me too! I’ve received a number of questions about the eyeshadow look on the bride that was featured in the ‘Coming Soon’ tab (photo above). [...]

Another Way To Use False Eyelashes

False eyelashes are a great way to accentuate your natural beauty and can be made to look natural or dramatic, depending on the occasion.

I was surprised how easily his razor performed compared to my ‘womens’ one back home. I walked away with NO cuts, no razor bumps and NO irritation.
