Wear Purple for Epilepsy Awareness Today!

As someone who suffers from seizures and knows the hell that a disease like epilepsy can put, not only on the person with the disorder, but their whole family, I wanted to share the following information: Today, March 26th, is worldwide epilepsy awareness day, also known as Purple Day . A day where people wear purple in support of this cause!  What to do more? There are many local charity events and walks going on worldwide in support of Purple Day , which can be found here .  So, going with the purple theme, here is a make up and accessory look dedicated to the cause, for this special, purple day!

Hair Chalk: Temporary Color to Shake it up for Spring

This spring we're not going to say good-bye to our beloved ombre hair style, we're just going to shake it up a bit, and this great product from Born Pretty Store is an inexpensive, temporary way to do just that!   You can buy them as  a set , or  individually ! Hair Chalk , which comes in a variety of colors (as seen above), is a very simple way to add some fun, temporary color to your hair this spring! If ombre isn't your thing, no worries, because with all these colors there are a myriad of possibilities for you to chose from... Don't believe me, check out all the rest of these ideas below! Image Source: BPS My favorite part, being as I'm a bit of a mess, is that if you make a mistake, or don't like your initial color patterns, or whatever, it washes out with shampoo!!! It's seriously that SIMPLE! I even let my 8 year old daughter use it! Too cute, RIGHT! How to use:   Wet hair, rub chalk on hair that you desire to color.

December Starbox

If you still haven't subscribed to  Starlook 's  Starbox , for $15/ month, December is defiantly the month to do so! The December Starbox includes the 15 shade eyeshadow pallet below, valued at $99, which you can get on back order  here  for $25, while supplies last!!! As you can see there are some very unique colors, including an actual red, which is a rare shade for sure. There are mattes and shimmery shades, so there is something for everyone and every occasion! As you can always expect from Starlooks, the eyeshadows are highly pigmented and blendable! With all these great colors you are sure to be able to create all kinds of new fun holiday looks! Below is a look I call winter wonderland. I used a silver eyeliner to line my upper and lower lids then used the light shimmer blue on my lids and the dark shimmer blue in the crease. This isn't exactly a holiday look, she wanted a "jungle girl" look. So she decided she wanted gold, green, and blue. So

Dino Lingo - Foreign Language for Kiddos

I just heard about these great videos for kids from Dino Lingo via Influenster . They teach kids how to speak different languages in a simple and fun way.  Check out the video below for an example. My daughter and I are interested in Italian because of our heritage, so that is the one we were drawn to, but they have several other languages you can find examples on their YouTube page .
