Neutral Colors

Hey there, folks! It's time to dive into another exciting edition of #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques! Today, we're talking about the fabulous world of neutral colors. Did you know that there are not just three, but five neutral colors? Oh, yes! It's a fascinating palette to explore.

Gesso

#TuesdayToolsAndTechniques has to do with painting. It's not the paints I'm talking about but gessoed surfaces. Gesso is like a primer and prepares the surface for paint. 

Surfaces

One can have a variety of surfaces gessoed. You can gesso the canvas by it self and paint on it like...

Lipstick

#FridayFinds is, I think, an old #FridayFinds, but in a new way! Today, I am going to talk about Hourglass lipsticks. There is the newly released Unlocked Satin Creme lipstick, and the oldie but goodie, Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Refillable lipstick. I love the one swipe and...

Smart Sweets

#FridayFinds is Smart Sweets. And my, oh my, are they good. I found them at Costco one day and haven't looked back, as they are always in my cart...even with me watching my sugar intake. With only 3g of sugar, they make for a nice treat. If you can, buy them at Costco as they are...

First of all, May the Forth Be With You!!! (haha)

Today's #ThirdDegreeThursday question is a spiritual one. Hopefully you won't be too shy to not answer. It's a funny thing as most people don't like talking about it. "What happens after we die?" As for me, I believe I am a spirit... a spiritual...

Last Wednesday I went to the Dentist Specialist and I had surgery on a tooth. Like I've said before, they have mastered the pain management in dentistry, but have yet to master the sound (of the drills). It was interesting to hear when the drill met bone in my surgery! Needless to say, all went...

Today's #FridayFinds is not something you can touch or see but it is something that is important. I did something new...in aims to push myself, in order to grow as a person. Today I was interviewed by Raimonda Jankunaite for the possibility to be one of 30 speakers at the amazing event called...

Oh my.... the end of March; a quarter of the year is behind us! In my area of the world, kids (and teachers!) are in the midst of their Spring Break! I hear the birds singing, the dogs barking and the kids playing outside my window, and the sky is bright with a solid blue.
