Welcome

I believe one should never underestimate the power of a good cup of coffee or the perfect glass of wine and that non-toxic living is the key to aging healthfully and beautifully. Read More…

🙌🏻 Ladies: This is a judgement free zone. It

🙌🏻 Ladies: This is a judgement free zone. It is funny to me that because I have gray hair and only use non- toxic, safer skincare products and makeup that there are people who think I am secretly judging them for coloring and continuing to wear products with questionable ingredients after they know better. I am not. I promise. 🤣

I have never had anyone accuse me, thankfully, but I have had friends apologize and justify coloring their hair, and staying true to their favorite toxic products, explaining that they know it’s not good for them but they love the results. That is cool with me.

As an educator and advocate I am compelled to share what I’ve learned through research about the beauty industry. What people do with the info is up to them. I just want those who didn’t know better to know there are options. Many don’t. They have no idea what’s in the products they using on themselves and their children.

But this is the beauty of being an adult. We are free to make our own choices. Bottom line: I support women. I want all of us to feel beautiful, happy and confident.

Do what makes you beautiful today and always.❤️

Flashback to the purple I mentioned yesterday. It was so fun for about three days. Once I washed it, it was all downhill from there. 🤣 Happy to be back to gray and looking forward to getting my curls back to the way they were before operation dye removal happened. .

This is your Friday afternoon reminder to do one thing every day that scares you.

Showing myself without makeup is a little scary but making a makeup video as an absolute makeup amateur is scarier. I don’t have many skills but that’s why I want to show you- makeup doesn’t have to be scary and with the right products it doesn’t take much to make a big difference. I used to wear color correction creams under my foundation and redness powder over it! Ugh!

Listed below are the products I used for today’s Reel. All products used today are non-toxic, cruelty-free, ethically and sustainably sourced, and available through the link in my bio. 💄

This piece is often attributed to Audrey Hepburn.

This piece is often attributed to Audrey Hepburn. I could not verify the validity of this but cannot find the actual author either. I love it and wanted to share regardless.

It’s lovely and so was she.

′′ To have attractive lips, speak kind words.
To have a loving look, look for the good side of people.
To look skinny, share your food with the hungry.
To have beautiful hair, let a child cross it with his own fingers once a day.

To have a beautiful poise, walk knowing you're never alone, because those who love and loved you accompany you.
People, even more than objects, need to be fixed, spoiled, awakened, wanted and saved: never give up on anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a hand, you'll find them at the end of both your arms. When you become old, you will discover that you have two hands, one to help yourself, the second to help others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, in her face or in her way of fixing her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the door open to her heart, the source of her love.

The beauty of a woman doesn't lie in her makeup, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the tenderness that gives love, the passion that it expresses.

The beauty of a woman grows over the years ′′.

❤️.
