DIY Sugar Scrub
So I see a lot of people on beauty forums looking for DIY beauty services and this sugar scrub is my favorite. I have been making it for a few years now and have given up on store-bought scrubs because this is low cost, non-irritating and most importantly it works. Here’s my own recipe:
I start with a small plastic food container. I use plastic in case the vessel were to slip off of the bench or sill, it would not shatter in my shower.
I use ‘baking’ sugar because it is a very fine grind and will not microscopically scratch your skin the way raw sugar can. I add about 1/3 cup of sugar then drizzle about 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on top. I don’t actually measure any of the ingredients, I add them on a visual ‘that looks g [...] Continue reading →
Brush Care 101
A core brush wardrobe is like your core clothing wardrobe; There are must-have’s for every closet and we build on from there. You do not have to spend a fortune on brushes, with a few key tools you can apply your cosmetics like the pros.
If you’re looking to start or simply rebuild your core brush wardrobe, here are the pieces you will get the most use out of: All over Shadow, Precision crease / short shader, Large powder brush, Blush brush and Eyebrow.
I would build upon that wardrobe with Face Concealer, Buffing, All Over Blending and Lash.
Finally I would accessorize with Bronzing, Precision crease / short shader, Precision eyeliner, Lip & Foundation.
Whether you are a brand loyalist with duplicates or your makeup brush collection consists mostly of those that ca [...] Continue reading →

French Omelet Recipe for a Cheri on the Go
So you’re taking off for Valley Fair in 20 and haven’t had a bite yet? Put that granola bar away, a real cheri can make this work (and have enough time to put your face on), after all you’re going to need that energy for carrying around those shopping bags!
Before your final application of mascara, slice a tablespoon of butter in half. Dice one half and leave the other, put both in the freezer for 10 mins. Meanwhile, put an omelet pan on low heat w/ a tablespoon of oil.
Apply blush and bronzer. Maybe swap shoes. Now, back into the kitchen, whisk 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk together 80 times in a bowl. 80 times will blend the egg yolk and white perfectly to achieve that monochromatic golden omelet look. Dice up a few chives or whatever herbs/veggies you dig, and shred a bit of Gruyere (or a [...] Continue reading →
Made from Earth – Organic Product Review
I received four products to try from Made from Earth and here are my thoughts on the products.
1.) 3 Berry Face Cream – this product maybe used under and over make up and can be used as a night cream as well. I like the texture of the cream and how easily it blends well with the skin and can be layered on for more moisture coverage. However, I prefer moisturizers that are unscented.
2.) Pure Aloe Face Treatment – this product is to bused after cleansing and also great for any scars or burns. The great thing about this particular product is that it can be used around your eyes and does not give the “burning” effect and is hypoallergenic so almost anyone can use this. I like how fast my skin absorbed this product. I would say that I will continue to use this prod [...] Continue reading →
Great Lengths: The Hair You've Always Dreamed Of
Long, beautiful, luxurious hair is something each one of us desires as women, but something few can achieve naturally. We’re envious of the gorgeous locks of the singers and actresses we see on the covers of magazines and on the big screen. Truth is, most often, their hair isn’t real. Thankfully though, their hair is something that you can attain, and quite easily actually. With hair extensions, you can finally have the hair you’ve always dreamed of.
As much as I wish it would, my hair just does not grow. Over the years, I have tried each and every type of hair extension method available to mask my short hair. Glue-in extensions were my first, and I loved them…for the first week. After that, the strips would peel off, and I would have to glue them down over an [...] Continue reading →
