Sometimes I think stability gets a bad rap as being boring or an enemy of progress. But it is really hard to more forward and test the limits without stability in your life. You must be able to stand firmly on two feet before you can walk, and you must be able to walk without… Continue reading Word of the Week: Stability

Word of the Week: Balance
This week is balance awareness week. Vestibular disorders affect nearly 1 in 5 Americans, but most people don't even know what "vestibular" means. Heck, this post is filled with squiggly red lines because spell-check doesn't even recognize it as a real word. The vestibular system is a complex system in the inner ear and brain… Continue reading Word of the Week: Balance
Skin Care Basics
Skin is an amazing organ, which is constantly evolving and changing throughout your lifetime. Your skin renews itself about once every 35 days, by shedding about 40,000 skin cells per minute! By the time you’re 20, you’ve already cycled through your skin about 200 times. You can probably figure out that healthy skin is an important part of your overall health. So how can you improve or maintain healthy skin?
Word of the Week: Align
Alignment, for me, is focused on my family first. Keeping kindness in the forefront, working as a team. Remembering that caring for myself is caring for my family. Remembering that mindlessly numbing myself with social media is not actually self care. When I have these things prioritized then no matter how chaotic our calendar is or how loud our house is, there is still peace.
Superlative Lines
I do love the look of wearing eyeliner, and my husband really likes it. I feel like I look a little less fatigued and a lot more put together with eyeliner, so it may become a more regular part of my beauty routine. It does get easier with practice.
Word of the Week: Flexibility
In my vestibular therapy, my PT stressed the same thing. Not to lock my knees, to stay flexible so that I could adjust more easily to changes. But I don't think staying flexible applies only to being physically balanced. That may be one of the top lessons of 2020.
Word of the Week: Determination
Life happens and for a variety of reasons (mostly good) my PC is unavailable to me to write this post, but I am determined to still get this out to you this week so I am working from my phone. So please be patient if autocorrect gets the best of me. The next several months… Continue reading Word of the Week: Determination
Word of the Week: Persist
Persist is continue firmly or obstinately in an opinion or a course of action in spite of difficulty, opposition, or failure. So maybe starting all over again on these habits isn't so much a failure as an opportunity to practice persistence. An opportunity to get back up, brush myself off, try again. An opportunity to be strong.
Word of the Week: Tenacity
The word for this week is tenacity, which is the ability or quality of having a firm grip on something, being very determined, or continuing to exist. I don't really feel like I've got a grip on anything right now, but I am determined that my work should continue to exist, even if it is being completed a little more slowly than I would prefer.
Lush Lashes
If I had to pick one favorite beauty product (not counting skin care) I would absolutely pick mascara. I love my lip color, but I need the mascara to wake up my eyes or nothing else matters. It seems pretty simple, but here are a few tips to master your mascara for stunning lush lashes.
