You Will Always Be Alive
This post is a tribute to a wonderful dear person, music legend - Michael Jackson. The news that Michael has passed away the night of 25th broke my heart.I didn’t expect I would feel so much sadness and pain as I have not been an active fan for many years already. But Michael has been a very big part of my life when I was a teenager and since then there was always a place in my heart that

Beauty Talk: Educate Your Kids About Sun Damage
Previously I posted about sun damage and increased chance of cancer if you start abusing sun and solariums early on. I have to say I am so happy my family did not have enough money to go on vacations when I was little. Thanks God! I had only one chance to turn my fair skin into the color of dark chocolate. I shudder when I look at the photos – my smile has never been so shiny white! You are

Quick Fix: Thick Clumpy Mascara
If your attempt at creating thick, lush lashes turns into a disaster of goopy clusters of mascara, take action immediately before it completely dries. Wipe your mascara wand with a paper napkin. Brush your lashes starting from the roots up wiggling the wand gently from side to side. Next time keep at hand your old mascara wand.If I still have clumps what I do is take a needle and carefully

Beauty Talk: Exfoliation Part II - Mechanical Exfoliation
During mechanical exfoliation dead cells are removed through mechanical or physical friction. One can say that they are “scraped off” the skin’s surface. Products for mechanical exfoliation can contain paraffin, wax, irregularly shaped granules or round beads/poly spheres.

Dear Readers
Hello Dear Readers,
The bad news: My daughter is now 5 and 1/2 months old and I am slowly, very slowly, adjusting to my new life with a baby. She takes top priority. And my old self has expired. I am no longer able to be the woman I was pre-Mommyhood! My outlook on life and priorities in life have changed drastically. With that said, I sincerely apologize for not being able to post as often as I, and mabye you, would like. My goal is to post once per week but I have not been able to keep up with even that in the last few months.
The good news: My love of fragrance and perfume remains intact! I hope that I can deliver on my once/week promise in the coming weeks. As always, thank you for your patience and loyalty. God bless you and yours.
Love,
Tamara
