Sip, sip, hooray, for a flawless skin day

Sip, sip, hooray, for a flawless skin day





Darling, let’s talk truth: alcohol may be fun in a glass, but it’s a total diva when it comes to your skin. It’s a diuretic—which is just a fancy way of saying it sucks the juicy fabulousness right out of your face and leaves you staring in the mirror like, “OMG… where did my glow go?” Now, I’m not here to snatch your champagne flute out of your hand (celebrations require bubbles, obviously), but do yourself a favor—sneak in a tall glass of water between the sparkly stuff. That way, you’ll stay on the glowing side of life instead of the dried-up, raisin-y one.

And about that little nightcap “just to fall asleep”? Hold your horses, doll. WebMD says alcohol may knock you out fast, but it’ll wreck your beauty sleep by shaking up your normal rhythms—hello tossing, turning, and puffy face at sunrise. Trust me, after 50, no amount of miracle cream, fairy dust, or unicorn tears can fake a full night’s rest. Sleep is the real glow-up secret, and your face will thank you in the morning.

Until next time... keep loving & living your best life!

🌸Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles!

🌸Mom's Journals, entry #1

My dad recently found two journals that belonged to my mother and gifted them to me—what a treasure!  S he often wrote positive messages and quotes on index cards and placed them strategically throughout the house. I never knew, until today, that she also kept journals filled with these quotes and messages. I've decided to share the wonderful and inspiring entries from her journals with you. I hope you enjoy reading them and that they bring you inspiration or teach you something new. I'll be posting one page at a time, so I hope you'll keep checking back for more. Wishing you Love, Light & Sparkles, 🌸 Carrie “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough…”  - Albert Einstein “ The difference between genius and stupidity is - genius has limits ” “Don’t cry because it’s over - Smile because it happened.” - Dr. Seuss “ Don't waste your time on explanations - people only hear what they want to ” “ T T F N - Ta ta for now ”  - Tigger “The tyrant wi...

🌸Mom's Journals, entry #2

Reflections from My Mom’s Journals, post #2 “There is no dollar sign on peace of mind.”   - Elin Hilderbrand  "The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder."   - St. Augustine                                                                      "Happiness is a choice. Peace is a state of mind. Both are free.”   - Amy Leigh Mercree "We never get what we want — we get what we are.   - Doran Cooks They’re all great quotes! I especially like number three: "Happiness is a choice. Peace is a state of mind. Both are free." So oft en, I find myself thinking, "I would be happy if only XYZ would happen," or "If I could just acquire XYZ...
