BODY + FACE

my daily routine takes about as much time as it takes a song on the radio to play. i rarely ever change the look of my makeup because i simply don't know how and i just don't have that much time. but, i make a point every single day to get dressed, to put on a little makeup and to present myself to the world and to show my husband and my son that i care.

as a mama to a now one year old, the time i have to myself is rare and sacred. each minute of every day is filled with this and that, moving and walking and chasing and cleaning and cuddling and holding, and how could i forget, exhaustion. but, you keep going ~ as a mama, that's already written in the stars. there is no other option, there is no giving up when you need a break. there is simply stepping outside, looking up, breathing deeply to twenty, and resuming.

these are some of the products i'm loving right now (that mascara) and have loved for years (like my mom's old blush brush and perfume). they make me feel feminine, sexy and mostly, like my true self. i don't have a lot of products, but what i do have, i really do love.
