I’ve never cared much for green eyeshadows and my sudden love of the greens in the ABH Nouveau palette has taken me by surprise! Here is how I used mostly greens from this palette as I applied my make up . I used the shadows in the order as numbered. One thing I I always do is barely, barely, barely, touch the brush into the color. It’s got awesome payout! I also blend very well. I put 1 down as an all over eye color. I follow with 2 and 3 in the crease. I blend these together very softly and slowly I put 5 and 6 in the very corner of my eye. I place a thin line of 5 under my eye and follow i ..read more

I love to be organized! Batteries are one of those things that always seem like an impossibly to organize well. Until now! I found this on Amazon and I am so pleased with the purchase. Prior to purchasing this, all our batteries were in a storage box. The challenge with the storage box was you had no way to check and ensure batteries were charged and ready to go. This battery charger stores 93 batteries and  has a handy battery tester. Additionally the storage unit may be mounted on a wall or stored in a drawer. You will love this functional addition,to your home! This makes a ..read more

Yes! Yes! Yes!  The Anastasia Beverly Hills Nouveau palette  just showed up today and I about knocked the delivery person over to get to it. OK that may be an exaggeration but the minute it got here I opened it and I am absolutely in freaking love!! This palette is beautiful in every way. From the cover and every shade that exists inside the palette. Today has been a fairly busy day so I didn’t bother with really getting glamorous and redoing my hair etc. But I had to try these beautiful colors. There’s a little bit of dust up but that nothing that’s bad or can’t be ignored. Each for ..read more

All too often we rush thru our days, busy with family, work, chores. We rarely STOP and absorb the gifts of the moment. Waking up as night gives way to day, sitting quietly in its awakening and absorbing the majesty of the birth of opportunity for another day is manna for body, mind and soul. Nights obsidian darkness, punctuated by shards of stellar starlight haunt our eyes with shadows and secrets. Slowly the cloak of rich, nighttime darkness warms to a soft muted grey, comforting in its drabness while serving as a buffer from the secrets of the night to the starkness of daylight. Silently we ..read more
