MY 3-IN-1, EYES, LIPS AND CHEEK PALETTE!

I am so excited to announce the unveiling of my new 3-in-1 palette.  All three colors work anywhere on the face creating endless combinations of colors and looks. My belief is that beauty is in every woman and sometimes we just need support in believing that.  Bringing that beauty out is my goal with every product in my line.  My intention is never to mask a womans appearance just aid in highlighting it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there is no reason why that can't be you! Be. You.

LAUNCHING OF MY NEW LINE, dedra

I am so excited to announce the launch of my new makeup line, dedra.  I have been working on creating it for over a year and it feels amazing to have it come to fruition.
dedra is designed for women who are on the go, don't know how to apply makeup, or just need the convenience of multi use, simple products.
dedra requires no brushes to apply, just good ol' fingers and it's so easy you could do it in the car(not that I would EVER advise doing makeup in the car!)
The products complete a whole look so there is no need to use anything else. All in a 5 minute application!!
dedra products empower women to look their very best by taking the mystery out of makeup allowing you to....Be. You.
I would love for you to take a look. Just go to www.dedrabeauty.com.

SIMPLE SUMMER DAY!!

 Today is a simple summer day.  The very best kind.  Playing out in the sun with the kids. Taking a long bike ride and feeling the sweet breeze grace my skin.  And ending up at my favorite Sunday stop, the farmers market where I ran into one of my favorite vendors. The Squid Balm gals!! Love those products. Today I picked up a sweet treat, Honeysuckle Perfume Oil. Awe, the scent of it!! Intoxicating.
These are the days to live for. Simple, pure and beautiful!!

SUMMER'S SIMPLE BEAUTE!!

This time of year when we're out in the sun more and in the chlorinated pool more our skin and hair tend to get really dry.  If you're like me and you don't have extra time or money to go to get spa treatments here are a couple you can do at home with ingredients you probably own.
For your hair, a great hot oil treatment is to heat olive oil up in a pan adding a few drops of honey or vitamin E. Stir it around til mixed and place on hair for 15 minutes.  Place a towel around your head to keep the heat in. Then shower it out.

For your face,  crack an egg (which contains vitamins A, D, K and E), separating out the yolk into a bowl. Add in a little  honey which hydrates and has skin-plumping properties , whisk them together, apply and let dry for 10 to 15 minutes before removing with a damp cloth.
Do both of these treatments at once for double the benefits!  In minutes you'll have hydrated, healthy skin and hair.  Simple and beautiful!

LOVE THE LOOK OF YOUR SKIN!!

So not all of us have to great fortune of gorgeous skin without makeup.  Most of us need a little helping hand everyday to attain perfection.  The look of nothing on with a little something on(if you know what I mean?)  I am loving Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation for just that reason.  It combines HD radiance so it's great at covering up imperfections but it has water from the deep sea of Rausu, Japan so it hydrates and heals your skin at the same time!! It also contains an spf 15 which in this day and age is a definite priority.  I love it for all my gals but mostly for my ladies over the age of 40 who really depend on hydration to achieve that youthful look.  It is so lightweight that it stays away from the fine lines and can be worn every day.  With light diffusing properties you will radiate health and beauty. How simple is that?
