How to Create a Vegan Breakfast Bowl (Recipe for Happiness)

This BREAKFAST BOWL has Super Foods and Super Powers!!!

“Several years ago, I was 70 pounds overweight, unhealthy, addicted to menthol cigarettes; suffering from hot flashes and depression.  I was unfulfilled in my job and unhappy in my 30 year marriage to my high school sweetheart.

At my lowest point I was inspired by a true story of a young, vegan girl. 

I spent an entire year building a wardrobe that complements me; treating myself to beauty treatments; eating healthy; organizing my closet; simplifying my style and focusing on me.  As a result, I quit smoking, lost 50 pounds and gained self confidence.  I built a booming business and restored my marriage.

Today I eat to live, not live to eat.  I make food choices that nurture my body and my brain.  I’ve decided not to poison myself with the processed, packaged products.  Instead, I delight myself with colorful fruits and vegetables.”  -(Excerpts from The Fashionating Life Formula: How to Build your Self Confidence by Nancy Joseph)

Seven Lipstick Shades for Every Woman’s Mood

Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world” – Marilyn Monroe

Don’t you agree?

A great lipstick color can boost your confidence and uplift your mood.  Makeup, like fashion, is an outlet of self expression – and that’s one of the best things I love about it!

I usually pick my lipstick color depending on my mood.

Here are seven lipstick shades that can fit every woman’s mood and look:

1)Red 

It is a makeup essential to own a gorgeous red lipstick.  If you want to feel confident, red is the color for you.   (Marilyn)

2)Nude

I wear a nude lip when I’m sporting smokey eyes, or when I want to downplay my makeup yet still look fresh.  A nude lip color can lean on the pink, coral or brown side.  Find one that compliments your skin tone, not too light that will make you look as pale as a ghost.  (Pure)

3)Burgandy

Yes, everyone needs a good deep red lipstick but when you want to feel sophisticated, try this color.  It is perfect when paired with sleek hair and winged liner.  (Pomegranate)

4)Pink

If you feel dainty and fresh, go for a pink color that matches your skin tone.  Pink has a way of making us look youthful and healthy, especially when paired with matching pink blush.  (Blissful)

5)Coral

When the sun is out and its warm rays glimmer outdoors, coral is the way to go.  It totally makes sense to match your lippie to the weather!  (Spontaneous)

6)Neon Pink

When you are feeling extra happy and cheerful, swipe on some bright neon pink lipstick!  You’ll feel as bright as sunshine so don’t be surprised if everyone you meet flashes you a smile!  (Fierce)

7)Deep Plum

Tired of making a statement with red lipstick?  If you are feeling rebellious, go for a deep plum color.  It is eye catching, yet still fun and pretty to wear!  It is a very versatile color as it can take you from day to night.  (First Avenue)

Wearing lipstick is an amazing mood enhancer.

Once you find the perfect shade, you’ll love it forever for the way it brightens your face and makes you look amazing.

Beauty Hack: Top Secret Ingredient for Glowing Skin

 

Would you like to know the secret ingredient to looking good, feeling confident and gaining attention?  This works! You’re going to LOVE it!

Are you feeling, Blah? Boring? Maybe you haven’t had a chance to exfoliate (which by the way, is my number one anti-aging skin care tip!); to get that fresh looking skin. I’ve got a beauty hack for you today.

TOP SECRET! We’re going to start with your cream or liquid foundation (it won’t work with powder or loose mineral foundation) and you’re going to go ahead and put some on the back of your hand. One pump (dime size) and then here’s the secret ingredient… it’s oil! I have the acai (ah-sigh-ee) oil with pomegranate (tomorrow I’m going to try Coconut Oil) and it’s going to take one little pump along side the foundation. Get your brush and mix it all together. “Stipple it” and it looks like beautiful flawless skin with a little bit of a glow. The oil doesn’t take away from the coverage it just makes it look more like your skin. It’s glowing. I love it! What do you think? Glowing, right? Try it! You’re going to love it!

Share this hack with your friends and your team and then COMMENT below and tell me which flavor oil you tried.

This is a game changer for you Essential Oil Independent Consultants!!!

P.S. Your skin always needs to be moisturized even if it’s oily. Your skin will over produce oil if it’s not moisturized. That was my #1 takeaway from Aesthetics School.
