DIVA LYNN'S TRUNK

LOVE Is In The Air: Here's a thought... spread the love In a past posting I asked: " Ladies, do you always get what you want or at least expect for Valentines Day?"  Taking into  perspective the current world events, the question seems quite insignificant now.  Last year was probably the craziest Valentine’s Day in our memorable history. Imagine a day dedicated to love, hugs and kisses and most of the world was thrust into a pandemic that keeping everyone apart from each other. Curfews were initiated and going to public places was off limits. Don't forget the new fashion trend that became a staple in everyone's wardrobe. Like it or not, wearing a mask was pertinent then and is now pertinent to our daily outdoor & indoor style.   We still live with the pandemic. We still must socially distance. We still need to wear masks.   The economy is a wreck and extravagance is almost non existent when it comes to shopping for necessities much less gif...

Trunk Life Don't Give Up On Beauty I've always enjoyed wearing makeup.  As a teenager I first starting using my face as a canvas to hide all the image destroying zits that sparsely covered my forehead and formed in patches on my cheeks. Naturally, at the time of my face painting phase, I was unaware of the scientific improvements being made to treat acne that would eventually appear first in the doctors office as Retinol A. Meanwhile I continued to strip all the natural oils from my skin by over washing my face with soap, and further drying it out by applying rubbing alcohol to my zits. This is not a good idea. Sometimes my face was so tight and dry in places it hurt and then I ironically ended up applying some kind of oil (petroleum jelly aka Vaseline or regular baby oil) to soothe and restore the obviously necessary moisture back to my skin. Yes, the teenage years; I've since learned much healthier skincare methods. Cosmetics always have been and still are an e...

Trunk Fashion Stand Tall Although  they hurt.... you insist on wearing them....having them seen.....showing them off, and swearing that it will be a long time before you ever wear them again (while your toes are throbbing, of course) as you lick your finger to rub off the scuff mark before you carefully place them back into their box. Yes, give it about a week (or weekend) and another great outfit, with a few bandages as precaution and you're back into what may quite possibly be your next most awesome pair of shoes.
