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.

Trunk Nutrition Stay Home Stay Healthy We may not all be a fan of vegetables but everyone usually likes some type of vegetable. I happen to love vegetables---not all, but most. I've chosen salad as a meal to eat that can include any type of vegetable you like.  Nowadays you can purchase fresh bagged salads, but they can be costly. They are mostly bags of various types of lettuce. Use them if you have no time to prepare your own or if a kitchen is not available. Consider buying your own lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers etc. You will soon discover that it cost less, and you get more salads made. You also will enjoy inventing your own salad combinations when you prepare them yourself. A salad can be quite filling but remember NOT to overload with the toppings such as croutons, crispy noodles, bacon bits or shredded cheese. Do use them to add flavor, Grilled chicken, turkey or pork can be added as well as shrimp or fish. Next of course are the salad dressing...

Trunk Beauty DIY Skin Care Caring for your skin properly is a year round job. Depending on your skin type: Dry, Normal, Oily, or Combination, the weather can put stress, wear and tear on your epidermis. No matter which is your skin  type, Diva Lynn has some simple suggestions on preparing your skin for the warm weather. Tip#1 The cold weather can be brutal on your skin with wind and cold, drying it as much as the sun. Help care for and protect your skin with a gentle cleanser (never use soap), regular exfoliating using a mild facial scrub and toner such as witch hazel. Always follow up with a moisturizer and continue to apply throughout the day. Never allow your skin to be exposed to extreme wind or cold because just like the sun they can burn. Diva Lynn recommends giving yourself a home spa treatment .    Watch my review of the DOLLAR TREE brand Spa Naturals Coconut Moisturizer.   Try an essential to get you start...

Trunk Beauty High End Hair On A Budget In these tough times, it's easy to sacrifice your beauty rituals to make ends meet, but you don't have to if you try some products you normally would not use. Discount stores that sell health and beauty products for a dollar or less are a great source for finding affordable hair products. The key to making it work is trying products that are similar to the brands you usually buy. All of the 'substitutes'   will not win you over, but you may be surprised at what you find that reveals satisfactory results.The best part is either way you only spent a dollar for each product. For my natural hair needs , I use hair care products from the DOLLAR TREE . Watch my review of DOLLAR TREE brand Lusti Naturals.
