This week, I'm excited about...

Oh my.. If you're addicted to Instagram like I am, you're gonna love this. I've always hated the fact that whenever I want to post a pic, I have to crop it. Having to decide, do I go up, down,  to the right, to the left.. A-nnoying! 

But... no more..  I found out about this app that will allow you to post your pic exactly the way you want. ( I just heard and angel choir singing)

Introducing  Square Instapic an app that is described as a “photo editing app that makes all pictures into squared instasize images for social networks. No more frustration when you have to crop your great full size photos before posting it to social networks.  It also provides camera function so you can quickly take a photo, apply desired effects and with one click share created photo directly to any app. Its as easy as that! It also allows you to select any color as picture border. You can even add text to make your photo more personal or use text for copyright purpose or use various background patterns.” (Their description eh.. not mine)  :-)

Bliss!! Finally…Someone heard me! 

Anyway, check you app store to see if it’s available to install or

Product of the week!!

My product of the week - Satin Lips® Set by Mary Kay

Lips have an extremely thin outer protective layer. As the body ages, the already thin layer becomes thinner. To compound the situation, lip skin does not have sweat or sebaceous glands. Without the usual protective layer of sweat and body oils, the lips dry out faster, become chapped more easily and can age faster than other areas of the skin. Satin Lips® Lip Mask effectively exfoliates dead surface skin cells that cause lips to appear dull and lifeless, preparing them for the best application of supermoisturizing Satin Lips® Lip Balm for soft, kissable lips.

Application Tips

•        Gently apply Lip Mask to lips.
•        Massage and leave on for 1-2 minutes, then remove.
•        Follow with Lip Balm.

 

How it Works

•        The Satin Lips® Lip Mask contains miniature beads that gently, yet effectively exfoliate dead surface skin cells that cause the lips to appear dull and lifeless.
•         The Satin Lips® Lip Balm contains a special complex of ingredients, including vitamin A and E derivatives and Ceramide 2, to help condition dry and rough lips. The balm moisturizes the lips for at least six hours, while providing an invisible barrier to keep the lips hydrated.

   Key Ingredients

•     Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Derivative) is an antioxidant. Known as free-radical scavengers, antioxidants are included in products to help protect the skin from the effects of free radicals generated by the environment.
•         Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Derivative) is a conditioner that improves the appearance of skin.
•         Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is a soothing agent known for its calming and soothing properties. It’s also an antioxidant. Known as free-radical scavengers, antioxidants are included in products to help protect the skin from the effects of free radicals generated by the environment.
•         Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Derivative) is an antioxidant. Known as free-radical scavengers, antioxidants are included in products to help protect the skin from the effects of free radicals generated by the environment.

Good Find- This Week!

I've taken a break from the acrylic nails and have been on the hunt for quality, long lasting (as in more than two days) nail polish since.

I happen to come across this bottle that my daughter was using. We like each other’s fashion sense, but nail art or design.. eehh…. Not so much. Oh my gosh, I fell in love right away.

              This is Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Mint Sorbet, a lovely pastel minty green shade. 

It comes in long cylindrical bottle with a metal finished gray applicator handle and the name is posted on the top the cap which makes them easy to pick from the stash. It doesn't have any blue undertones, just a true mint green shade that is soft and soothing to the eyes.  

The formula is well pigmented which gives full coverage in two coats. Yes, two works just fine.  It dries pretty fast and has a creamy finish, a top coat can be added if you want a glossier shine. It doesn't chip easily and lasts 4-5 days, and is affordably priced at a little as 2.48$ for 11.8ml.  Yes, $2.48 in Wal-Mart, but can also be found at Target, Walgreens, CVS,  ULTA, Kroger even Family Dollar and Dollar General.. It’s everywhere!  

 

It makes a lovely spring/summer color.  Love, love, love it!!  Good find! Thanks Brianna!

SIMPLY BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO CRY FOR ANYTHING

Some of the Healthiest Foods I Love

I love these..I have at least six of them  every week...of course, always in moderation.  If only I can get as many workouts in during that same week, then life would be perfect.

Blueberries

Blueberries are known as a "Super food" because they are so healthy for you. They help build strong cells which can help fight the risk of cancer. They also contain high levels of Vitamin C.

Lemons

Lemons are very healthy for you. Just 1 lemon can give you more than your daily need of Vitamin C. They also help lower cholesterol.

Broccoli

Just one cup of broccoli contains only about 30 calories. Broccoli is one of the healthiest foods on the planet because it contains high levels of Vitamin C which help build strong bones & they can help fight cancer.

Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate is way healthier than milk chocolate. Eating dark chocolate daily can help improve your mood and it also helps lower blood pressure & cholesterol.

Potatoes

Potatoes are very high in fiber which help with digestion. They also contain high levels of Vitamin A that help build a strong immune system.

Salmon

Like most fish, Salmon is very high in protein which helps burn fat & build Muscle.

Walnuts

Walnuts not only help improve the health of your hair, they can also help improve your mood as well. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids that can help lower cholesterol.

Avocados

Avocados help burn fat and stop cravings. They contain lots of fiber that helps with digestion and they also help reduce your risk of heart disease.
