Its been said that every lady has a wild side. Try  giving into this feisty feline look this season. Adding cat prints can spice up any outfit. Learning how to rock cat prints can sometimes be tricky. I’ve posted a link below to the Glamour magazine website that teaches you how to wear prints without looking too… gaudy lol.  Every now and then its good to throw in a little feline flair in your wardrobe. A strong fashion statement can sometimes give you the edge you need..Below I created a  fashion set with great animal print looks that can be seen below. Watch my video to learn how to add prints to your eyelids for a fun, after hours look.

Pack your bags, we’re going on a trip


Please pause the playlist to your right to listen to the video.

Hey all! Hope everyone is having a savvy spring. Summer is just around the corner, and I have been searching for a relaxing getaway spot for me and my friends. I recently stumbled upon a great place and I had to let you guys in on this great deal. Affordable trips can sometimes be hard to come by, when I came across these gorgeous villas I had to share! The two villas shown below are located in Sosua, a small town in the Dominican Republic in a gated residential area on the north coast. These villas are brand new, well furnished and are being rented out for very affordable prices. The villas come with 24 hour guards, a maid, and at your request you can have a personal chef, car rental, and airport pick-up arranged.  There are a lot of great things that you can do during your stay. They have tennis courts, basketball courts and a lovely park for you all to relax and enjoy yourselves.  The second villa offers a 50,60,and 73 inch plasma flat screens and a 150 inch HD screen projector (shown in the video). Some of the local activities that you can engage  in are swimming, fishing,watersking, horseback riding and much more. The two villas I have featured in this post are wonderful and well worth the money. Check out the video above for a warm excursion.

Where are my glass shoes?!?


Please pause playlist to your right to enjoy the video.

Last weekend I found the time to watch one of my favorite childhood flicks Rodgers & Hammersteins Cinderella. As i took a walk down memory lane I realized a lot of the concepts that underlie this movie can be applied to our everyday lives. Yes, even now. All to often we may find our selves playing the dreadful role of Cinderella. Bending backwards for people, forgetting your own needs for the sake of others or even being too afraid to move on, are all the signs of having the Cinderella syndrome. Unfortunatly I’ve had a few of these symptoms. Everyone comes to a point in their life where satisfying others overshadows their personal goals. Now don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with doing good-deeds and handing out favors left and right, but at times you have to ask yourself if you’re happy? If the answer is no, then its time to make a change. Sometimes it can feel like the more you give the more people take. My grandfather always said “People take kindness for weakness”. This saying is very true. Life is too short to allow certain people to hold you back from your own happiness, whether its your horrible boss, an old friend that constantly needs whatever you have, or even a step mother and three awful step sisters. Letting go can be the hardest thing to do, but it can be the best move for you. Moving on doesn’t always have to make for a dramatic parting scene, it can be as simple as telling those that take you for granted, that all you have to offer is Love and Prayer. So if you’ve been trying to get ahead and find that people continue to stifle you, don’t be afraid to create distance between you and that person.Slip on your glass shoes and walk away, Cinderella style. ;)

Grooming for the Guys (surprise announcement at the end!)


After a long winter of  constant shoveling, digging cars out of the snow and other exhausting winter activities, some spring grooming may be in order for even the men. Some men aren’t too big on grooming.Guys like my brother settle for soap and water afraid using anything else will make them appear too primped. I’ve made a top 5 list of affordable products to help the guys get ready for the summer. These products manage to keep the skin smooth the hair well groomed with out stripping guys of their manly mannerisms. Ladies, stock up the bathroom with these products and your man will surely appreciate it.

  1. Bath and Body works Signature Collection for Men Oak body wash. – The reviews for this product are very promising. The aroma is great. The scent is strong enough to last all day. It creates a lot of suds quickly, and it takes a long time to use up. His skin is left moisturized and soft to  the touch. $11bathandbodyworks.com
  2. Dove Men + Care Extra Fresh body-and-face bar – Keeps face clean and prevents any blemishes. Great for both morning and nightime use. Has a very invigorating scent. Very affordable.. only 7.49 for a six pack at Walgreens.                                               -”It cleaned my skin very well and had a very manly scent.*”Dennis Y., Hammond LA                                              - “It smells great and it lathers nicely. My girlfriend loved the manly smell and it lingered on my skin.*”
    David H., Vernon CT

3.    Gillette Fusion ProSeries Thermal face scrub- Great scrub that clears away the dirt, and softens the facial hair making it easier to shave. Has a gentle warming sensation. Relieves men of dry scaly skin. $7.99 at your local drug store.

4. Kérastase Homme Capital Force sculpting paste is great for guys with short hair. It helps to give guys the texture that they want without the hair feeling sticky or gross. This product also fights against some of the most common aggressors to hair thinning in men and leaves hair looking and feeling thicker, stronger, and refreshed. This luxury comes at a price of $30.00 but well worth it.

5. Nivea for men Sensitive Lotion- This is great for guys with sensitive skin.  This lotion claims to moisturize and protect the skin with its ultra soothing ingredients Licorice extracts, chamomile, and vitamin E. It has an SPF4 which is always nice for the sunny days ahead. This product has great reviews and its extremly affordable running the price of $4.94.

(I’m having a GIVE AWAY soon! I’ll be giving away lots of good stuff from sephora my favorite store! Details coming soon. Subscribe to stay savvy!)

How To Thread Your Eyebrows


Pause the playlist to your right to hear the video below.

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. Time to get rid of the hats, hoods and scarves that we’ve been hiding under. Spring cleaning is in order and this involves more than house cleaning. Preparation for the warmer days ahead can involve waxing shaving, plucking, tanning and all other tasks that may have been ignored over the winter season. With all the work to do it’s always nice to have a DIY mentality. I have created a tutorial on how to thread your eyebrows. Eyebrow threading is a growing sensation. Many find it to be more efficient than waxing or plucking and it last longer. This tutorial shows you how to thread your eyebrows step by step. People spend $10-$15 dollars twice sometimes three times a month to get their eyebrows done. After watching my tutorial you will be able to do your own eyebrows and save money for your spring/summer vacation. ;)

 You will need:

  • basic sewing thread
  • a mirror

Tips:

  •  If this is your first time, it helps to place clear tape over the part of the eyebrow you don’t want to be threaded to prevent any mistakes.
  • Make two knots to make the loop secure
  • Take your time. Practice makes perfect.
