"A Year In Beauty" November Ipsy Glam Bag Review with Emily Doll TVD November Bag Theme: RockStarlet  I'm back with another installment of my "A Year In Beauty" blog featuring my monthly Ipsy bag!  So I have been working really hard to find balance in all of my routines since last months horrific house fire, which also includes my beauty routine. It has been really chaotic, So much so that even trying to do my make up has been hard. Digging through the numerous bags I had my makeup in made doing my face in the morning ten times harder than it should be. Now, we are making ourselves at home in our new apartment and I have my own bathroom again where I have organized all of my makeup!  Last month's Ipsy was a little challenging to do but I got it done. This months bag was a really exciting one and I was able to experiment and play in my own environment and truly enjoy my bag. Before we get into it, like always remember that you c...

  My Skin In The Natural with Charlotte Lacroix Skincare A lot of you read and were keeping up with my skin care blog. I had started an all new skin care regimen with simple products in hopes of finding my best skin. My skin was doing pretty good until our house fire, then went bad again. I knew I needed to get back on a good skin care line before my skin really started to suffer. With winter coming that meant dry chapped skin from the constant freezing cold and heaters. I had that horrible tight stretchy feeling in my face and it wouldn't go away. Here is my issue. I knew I needed something that moisturized my skin but also didn't break me out. That isn't easy. The cheap face lotions I was picking up at the drug store just didn't cut it and my skin wasn't improving. I have sensitive skin so I need things that are as natural as they come. Simple products with a strong objective in perfecting your skin. So I started something new.  I started us...

Humanity In Chaos A Beautiful Insight from A Devastating Disaster  Early October I had a normal day at work. I got home at  6:30 pm to my little boys running to me yelling "MOMMY!" I had just put them to bed, taken a shower and sat down in front of my computer with a pint of Ben & Jerry's and a zombie movie. I then noticed smoke whirling around my bedroom ceiling. I jumped up and quickly turned off the discount floor lamp I had bought thinking it over heated and was melting. Still more smoke. I ran around my room turning off my scented oil burners but again more smoke accumulated. That's when I heard my mother scream. I turned around to look out my door and all I could see what a warm light coming up the stairs and the lack of being able to see in my boys room due to the thick cloud blocking my view. I ran half way down the stairs to see our kitchen going up in bright flames and my mother screaming to get the boys.  I ran into their room and grabbe...

Growing Into Me: The Take Over Of Emily Doll  by Emily Doll TVD "Be who you want to be. Evolve. Grow. Change. Love yourself. Be yourself. Become who you are meant to be. Never deny who you are to make others happy. Never ignore your passions to benefit others emotions. Never allow others doubts or opinions stop you from moving forward or stop you from growing. Be you. Whoever that is and however many times that may change. Always remember to be true to who you are in every moment and phase in your life." - Emily Doll It has been over half a decade that I have dedicated my life and everything that I am and represent to the pinup and rockabilly life style. That's a really long time. Longer than most and shorter than some, but still a long time. I have been going through a lot of changes over the past few months. Obvious ones. I have received emails and read comments, "You look different" or "Your style seems to be changing" so I ...
