For beautiful eyes,

look for the good in others

For beautiful lips,

speak only words of kindness

And for poise,

walk in the knowledge that

You are never alone

Audrey Hepburn

Summer is upon us.  Yes, it is time for bar-b-ques, beaches, fun, vacations and warmth.  We deserve it, don't we!  It is also time for bad hair days, complaining because it is too hot or too humid, too much sun... 

but wait, weren't we just complaining about the cold and snow?

It really is all a matter of how we view things isn't it?  I know that I am glad it is summer.  After all, if I get too hot, I can find air conditioning and cool down.  No matter how hot I feel, the heat does not have to be shoveled away after putting on layers and layers of insulation.  

Yes, summer is welcomed!

Enjoy the moment, whatever moment you are in.  Look for the good.  This quote by Audrey Hepburn is thought provoking and holds so much insight.  

Even if there is someone in your life who is offensive, or rubs you the wrong way, you can lighten that negative impact on your life.  Looking for the good in others helps is a good thing and you will be more beautiful for it!  We are all created in his image, he has put good in every one. Yes  you can find the good if you choose to, then the words of kindness are there for you to offer.

Everyone loves encouragement.  When we offer words of kindness, we offer encouragement and take part in affirming another’s self-esteem.  Oh, how that not only helps them, but you too!  How good do you feel after you see someone smile knowing that you just lifted their countenance?  It lightens up both of you.

To be beautiful, see the beautiful in others and let them know it!  

Always remember, you are never alone!  All you need to do is hold on to the hand of the God who loves you and sees the best in you.  

 Nevertheless, am continually with you; you hold my right hand. Psalm 73:23 ESV

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Isiah 54:10 ESV

May your day be beautiful !

Summer is upon us!

Ahhh, the dog days of summer; those lazy, hazy, crazy days...say what?  Our lives are busy as always, summer or not, aren't they!  Kids are home, we want to do things and see everyone.  Time just keeps whizzing by no matter what the season.

We need to protect our skin and our hair as we are out and about.  Our daily routine needs to be simple so we can do it fast.  It is not so hard, cleanse, tone and moisturize every morning, then protect!  I love this sunscreen, it is a product I am not afraid to apply to my face.  Spectrum SPF 50+   (depending on which moisturizer I use, and how much I will actually be in the sun, it may be in my foundation)

Next my Brown Sugar Creme Eyeshadow (my personal favorite when I am trying to make it all happen quickly), mascara, a brushing from my browkit,  and I am ready to run out the door, lipshine in hand.  Quick and simple, great start to a full day, whether I am running around all day or lazing around, a hat on my hair I am protected and glowing.  

Now, to keep my cool, a spritz of makeup setting spray, which may be found in my purse at any time to refresh me if I am feeling the heat (yes, it actually lowers your body temperature)  All and more available from www.timelessbeauty4u.com.  

Enjoy your holiday weekend, enjoy your friends and family.  As you go out to barbecues, watch parades, enjoy the beaches,  boating, parks, or what ever you are doing, keep your cool and remember the great nation that we celebrate next week and the work the founding fathers did to get our freedom and liberty.  

GOD BLESS YOU AND THE USA!
