Tips on Wearing Makeup In the Summer Heat
Hello and Happy Friday Ladies!A famous quote in the Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West cries, "I'm Melting, I'm Melting!" Do you feel like your makeup is doing just that in this summer heat? I know I certainly do. I really do enjoy most aspects of summer: going to the beach, sitting out on the deck and enjoying the view, swimming, picnics, and just being outside. However, when the temps hit the mid to high 90s and above, the humidity is such that just taking a step outside causes one to sweat, ( "glow") and the choices are air conditioning or the pool, it can get just downright too hot!One thing I do enjoy is the Fall, and camping/hiking when I do not wear makeup and feel free! It is a nice change! However, day to day, I like to put on some makeup, and feel good about it By midday, however, most of the makeup seems like it has melted off my face, with maybe a trace of eyeshadow left on my lids. Well, there are some products I love and they may help to keep the look longer during the day in that summer heat. One thing to consider as well... Wear less makeup!
Hello Ladies!I hope things are going well, and it is hard to believe that August is going this fast and soon Fall will be approaching. My favorite season without a doubt. All the things I associate with it, the mountains, hiking, camping, trees changing color, cool, crisp air, pumpkin spice everything! Charlotte has cooler temps really thoughout Sept-October, much different from Pittsburgh, where I used to live. Sept was when fall clothing was worn, October, coats. Here in Charlotte, I might just begin to wear a light jacket at the end of Oct-Nov. I thought I would take a ride out to Mooresville, a bit of an older town, with its own charm, and I loved this vintage mural.
Hi Ladies!Lets face it, who didn't have a lemonade stand as a kid. 10 cents a pop, got you a glass of lemonade. Now, its a buck, per inflation and some young entrepreneurs. Ha! When I saw this top on Shein, I thought, yes! Now, its more about the grown up version, as I enjoy sipping some Lemoncello now and again. All of the fruit I eat over the summer, this top will remind me of this warm, sunny season. I loved the Off the shoulder style, and bought one other top when shopping on the site. I also like a bright yellow for summer, although it is best kept as a skirt, and not near my face, as bright yellow may not be as complimentary there. I decided to combine the print with my yellow lace skirt for added texture as well as my Zara pine green statement necklace. I could wear this top either off the shoulder or on.
Hello Ladies!I thought today I would talk more about glasses. Yes, I was ole "four eyes" since the 4th grade. Since I have a bit of a competitive nature, when hubby and I went in to get our eye's checked I bet him that he would be the one to need "progressive lenses." Haha! Well, when we came out, neither one of us was laughing, we both needed them, blind as a bat! I had a feeling, as when my opthamologist asked me to try a portion of this test where there are nine dots and several of them are raised, to test depth perception; my first question was " Do you mean I am supposed to see raised dots?" Well,that failed that miserably, and walked out with progressive lenses.
