Lick Your Lips for Me

. . . here is a random shopping find. I am always on the hunt for lipstick. I recently bought a lovely red Revlon lipstick after seeing Lorenzo wearing a red. I bought more of a blue red and although I love it, I've decided that when you are a woman of a wonderful age, which means not a 20 something, 30 something, or more, red lipstick thins the lips. I've seen it millions of times. Anything a bit too dark makes those lips look just like two skinny slashes of red and seems to make your skin look less than lustrous.

BTW - Revlon makes GREAT lipsticks. They all are wonderful. Makes you kissable.

I found what seems to be so far the perfect shade. It is incredible to many, if not all, skin tones. It makes my blue eyes POP! I mean they leap off my face.

Okay - they really don't, but this lipstick is great. The color is Revlon's Pink Truffle. It's not drying and revitalizes nicely when you apply a gloss over it later. Or just reapply. I like a little bit of a wetter look now and then so I gloss over it. And it is great on its own.

My little tip from me to you. Not that you asked, but I do love to give.  ;)

One little random shot from the other fun night with my friend, Reechie. We played Bingo at Stanley's in Northeast Minneapolis. We were losers, but not really. A perfect evening with my perfect friend.

Rock your lipstick today hooches. All the shades. 

This Just Might Be a "No."

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Daily Tip

Get in your closet. It's spring and time to move things from your winter closet out and bring in all your warm weather clothes. This is the perfect time to assess what you have in your closet.

Get creative. Pair some colors together to shake it up a bit. Like purple and gray, white with beige, purple and yellow, navy blue and gray; endless choices.

Start combining things that seem incongruous. The current leggings-with-everything is a great place to start. Put them under dresses, skirts, tunics. Put t's under cami's. Cami's under sundresses, denim jackets with pencil skirts, polos with flowery skirts; you get the picture.

Try everything and anything. You are going to find something you never thought of before. Combine outfits and take pictures of them so you don't forget.

Daily Tip

Scarves, scarves, and more scarves.

My hottest obsession. Love them love them. Throw one on and instantly feel put together.


The tribal scarf (also known as a keffiyeh) is one of my favorites. Looks great with a white tank and skinny jeans.

Daily Tip

Never, ever, wear more than one piece of denim at a time. Unless, of course, you are roping cattle at the ranch.

Instead, choose one great piece. Pair a denim jacket with a great skirt.

Denim jeans go with just about any kind of top - from dressy to casual.

Although, keep your sweatshirts for laying around the house or when you're leaving the gym. No sweatshirts over your jeans!
