    Simple Summer Make Up

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Simple Summer Skin

    I don’t feel the need to wear heavy make-up ever but especially in the summer when it is hot and sticky outside. So, I lighten it up, minimalistic is best for me when it comes to putting your face on in the heat.

    As soon as I wake up, I spray Avene Thermal Water Spray all over my face and use a cotton pad to wipe off any leftover masks or creams from the night before, then I go in with my jade or rose quartz roller that I keep in my freezer and roll in Skin Ceutical’s CE Ferulic serum…. all you need is 4-6 drops to cover your face. This immediately wakens up my skin, brightens and “depuffs” my under eye area with the ice cold roller. Now my skin is clean and nourished with antioxidants and vitamin C, fully prepped to go workout or start my work-day before I shower.

    As soon as I get out of the shower I splash SK11 Pitera all over my face and neck. That is the only thing I need under my summer make up. I dot on under eye cream (pick your fav) and my Mac concealer under my eyes (yes both products at the same time), on my eyelids and wherever I see I need a little coverage. I blend both products together. This trick will lighten up your face without have to apply an all-over foundation. I use an Artis blending brush for a smooth effect and it distributes both the under eye cream and your concealer evenly.

    I come in next with STILA’s peachy-rose dewy cream blush, from the apple of my cheeks to my temples, apply a couple coats of mascara, and finish with either a veil make up setting spritz or simply Rosewater spray all over…even in my hair, as its light rose petal scent awakens the senses and finishes off my 5 minute summer make up routine.

    Don’t fret, I didn’t forget sunscreen, as I am not a skin care or a make up “expert”, most would say it is the most important step. I do agree, but I love the sun on my face and the vitamin D benefits! But, I just mist Coola sunscreen over top of my make-up, on my neck, shoulders and decollate. It may be in the “wrong” order but it works for me![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid style=”lazy” element_width=”6″ item=”masonryMedia_Default” grid_id=”vc_gid:1624368810147-61720420-3510-10″ include=”1733,1729″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

  • Live Free and Have Fun

    Live Free and Have Fun

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We’re all are looking for little more fun in our lives these days, especially after the year we’ve all experienced and figuring out how to navigate during this pandemic. Who thought we would be so excited that indoor dining resumed and that movie theatres re-opened? Concerts and large gathering have been halted but the mindset we create for ourselves and how we can make things “fun” again is up to you.

    Have you been constantly googling “Best shows on Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/Disney plus”? Did you start new hobbies, play more boardgames, bake more, exercise more? Did you clean out closets, basements, garages? Did you watch endless hours of YouTube or did get a pandemic puppy? I found fun in all of the above and I did all of above. As a family of six we missed our friends and family but discovered Podcasts, played kickball after dinner, used FaceTime more and thank goodness for Zoom and Amazon.

    I tried fly fishing…yep… I tried meditation…epic fail but still trying…., I tried journaling, nope didn’t work for me. But we did bury a time capsule, we played left/right/center, we made chocolate chip everything…but now we are mostly back at school, travel restrictions are lightening up, vaccines are rolling into the arms of many and we are looking forward to “fun” again!

    Fun is different for everybody. Living free is different for everybody. But we choose both. We choose to dance and sing along to Brittany Spears while getting ready in the morning (over-share) but you can find fun everyday if you focus on it. You have intelligence, free will, a playful nature, a right to choose a healthy way of living a stellar lifestyle. STELLARGIRL is a mindset that you create! You choose to implement your own “stellar-ness”. Now go on, be stellar, live free and have some fun![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid style=”lazy” element_width=”6″ item=”masonryMedia_Default” grid_id=”vc_gid:1615915200295-a1f3ff60-b5e5-9″ include=”1451,1456″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
