Trunk Diva Battles...and what to wear

Image
"What to wear, what to wear?"   Of all of the battles fought, that one always seemed to be the most difficult. It needed to be handled with calculated effort and precision thought. "What to wear, what to wear?" Yes, battle gear was important and the daily journey into Disappear always began here. The apparel , the foot ware , and the accessory ; the essentials of gearing up. Color and design were usually easy to figure out once the 'pieces' were decided on. The pieces were as Diva Lynn knew, literally the long and shorts of getting 'prepared and geared' especially upon anticipation of the battlefield. "Hmm, leggings...jeans, skirt...where am I going today?" Maybe I'll start with a diva dangerous shoe! 

Just a Regular House Wife ( Diva Style )

Suddenly being or becoming a housewife is considered glamorous. They are a far cry from the perfection of the Donna Reed era and have come a long way from the frumpy Roseanne Barr days. Popping up all over the country,  from Beverly Hills, to New Jersey, to Atlanta, housewives are no longer wearing sweat pants and mom jeans. Instead, the latest attire for making a grocery stop is a pair of skinny jeans and (OUCH!) sexy stilettos and lets not forget the Jackie O sized sunglasses with the fabulous housewife hair.

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 Retin 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 expense for most women when adapting a budget. ...

Diva Warriors Unite!

Welcome to Diva Lynn's Trunk Thank you for showing interest in my blog. I am going to focus on how the non actress, non musician, non celebrity, non reality star aka Diva Lynn keeps up with the latest fashion trends and how she maintains her own style on a very small budget. I hope to create followers of you all with topics that you can identify with concerning personal growth via beauty and fashion. Diva Lynn's Trunk is about everything ladies with eclectic taste love: hair, make up, and fashion .   I am a lover of arts and crafts. I enjoy transforming anything with my hands into  "oohs" and "aahs" . Just as a painter uses brush strokes to create on canvas, so does a make up artist on a face. A sculptor turns a mound of clay into his or her vision and a hair stylist does just the same with a head of hair. In addition to my eclectic love of beauty and fashion I am also an aspiring entrepreneur. I sell skincare and beauty products...
