Why You should Clean Your Makeup Brush

three makeup brushes we can't live without


You've probably done this before curvy divas, borrowed a friend's makeup brush to put on your makeup, or to correct a makeup flaw...or even to cover a pimple?  I had a bit of a shock when I read that for one woman, doing the latter caused her to be paralyzed!  Why?  Because the makeup brush she used to cover a pimple was not clean.  I can't tell you how often I've told my own daughters to be careful of using other friends makeup and even their makeup tools because it may not be safe.


Gone are the days when I would borrow my friend's lip-gloss or eye pencil.  It seems as if there are more risks involved in the least things you do these days.  I never worried about stuff like that back-in-the day. However today it is different and it pays to be really careful.


I just recently washed my makeup brushes two months ago.  Did you know you're supposed to wash them weekly?  Yes, weekly!  I don't, do you?  I usually don't worry about it because I'm the only one who uses them....until I remember that my daughter likes to raid my makeup and sometimes her friends are also putting makeup on at our house, so this is a information I will be sharing with her.


Please do read the story I am linking below and do share with your daughters and girlfriends.  We love to dress up and wear makeup, doing so safely is very important.

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Love Wedges? How to wear them!

I have this thing with heels that when I mention it to anyone, they look at me as if I'm weird.  I have to, HAVE TO wear heels, at least 80% of the time.    The reason why I have to wear heels a lot is because I'm flat-footed. Yes, I have very low arch , so low that if I wear flats for two to three days straight without any height in heel, my feet will hurt and then I have to wear heels to make my feet feel better. Weird, or a more serious condition? Who knows?!   I wear heel height from 4inches to 6 inches! Nope, I haven't mastered the 7inch heel, and I won't even try.  As a curvy girl, a six-inch heel is the height where I stop! I like wedges, high heels, and stiletto heels.  With some platform heels, popularly called wedges, the heel can be low, or high; however, the main thing is, the heel will balance the height of the heel so that you can walk with confidence!      On about.com, Desiree Stimpe...

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.
