All in Beauty
If you’re planning on taking an overnight flight this summer, then it’s best to prepare yourself so you don’t become the reason the flight is called the ‘red eye’. I’ve been doing a little research about best practices for overnight flights for an upcoming trip I’m taking later this summer.
Olivia Palermo once said something like ‘washing your face before bed is the most important part of my beauty routine.’ I’m highly paraphrasing her and there’s a chance it wasn’t Olivia Palermo at all, but you get the gist of it. Removing your make up and cleansing your skin before laying your head to rest for the night is golden.
So let me just start by staying this; it’s too late to get a reservation at a decent King West restaurant for Valentine’s Day - so let’s just move right on to to fabulous gifts for you to buy your sweetheart that' she’ll totally appreciate along with the pizza you’ll be ordering in.
I was invited to a holiday cocktail party recently, and the smart hostess (who happens to be my neighbour) asked the attending ladies to bring along a Shoebox for the Shoebox Project. This seasonal self-esteem enhancer provides holiday gifts for women affected by homelessness currently living in shelters.
Recently I've been asked a few questions (via email) from readers that I thought I would answer in a single post for you. If you have a beauty, fashion or lifestyle question for me please send it to vicki@glimmerlife.ca.
You have to protect the face! I love that quote. I'm all about protecting the face from lines and spots and let's face it - melanoma. While the first line of defence for me is daily SPF (that I reapply during the day), the second during the summer months and when I'm on vacation in a sunny destination - is definitely a hat.
So...have you had enough of the Royal Wedding? Did you wake up at 5 a.m. on Saturday to watch Oprah arrive? I did. Which dress did you prefer? The ceremony dress or the evening dress? I think I'll save my opinion for a Best Dressed post later this week.
One of my favourite bloggers Jacey Dupree, who writes the uber popular Damsel in Dior blog came clean yesterday with a little secret - bloggers/influencers get botox...they just don't talk/write about it.
