Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Jamie and mom

MOTHER’S DAY is this Sunday and even though I’m kind of over doing gift guides, I wanted to do a post showing a super cute photo of me and my own mom, circa 1985. I mean.  Let’s not even talk about how old I feel right now, ok? Ha.  All laughing aside, my mom has always supported me and, of course, always encouraged me to be myself. If you ask me, that’s the real definition of a great mother…but, in the name of the holiday, here are a few items I know my mom would love (and probably yours as well):

Call of the wild

3 favorites

Lately I’ve been trying to test out products that I’d normally write off at as “marketing hoopla” or really just something I’m just not interested in trying because, hey, I AM a beauty blogger and it IS my job to test out EVERYTHING, right?  These three products, though I was skeptical, pleasantly surprised me…

Melanoma Monday

melanoma monday 2

Today is MELANOMA MONDAY, e.g. the yearly designated day by the American Academy of Dermatology to raise awareness for skin cancer and to encourage early detection through self-examination.  I’m kinda preachy when it comes to sun protection (#SorryImNotSorry) but, let me explain. Obviously I’m someone who has always HAD to wear sunscreen, due to the fact that my skin resembles a wedding dress, so I’ve never really had a choice to NOT wear SPF…but here’ the thing, I’m posting a photo of myself IN A BIKINI…ON THE INTERNET…so you have to read this whole post. Ok? (nod your head yes)

Inspired By: Avocado

avocado beauty

If you know me, then you know that guacamole is one of my all-time favorite foods, which is why I always jump at the chance to test out ANY beauty product that contains AVOCADO.  I mean, aside from being delicious, avocado is packed with vitamins and oils that are great for your skin and hair, like vitamins A, D and E and its mild oil is also great for soothing irritated skin.  Since today is Cinco de Mayo, trying out an avocado-enhanced beauty product seems like a great way to celebrate (that, AND a margarita, of course).

Here are a few of my favorites:

neon eyes

neon eyeliner chanel

We all know that you have to take runway beauty and style with a grain of salt, but I recently saw this gorgeous image from a CHANEL show (pretty old, I assume) and was immediately drawn into the model’s insanely awesome NEON EYES.  I mean, why NOT have a little fun with your eyes, right?
