Good morning! Today I just want to say that BFF is moving forward in a very positive way!!! The program has two new sponsors, FAB Beauty and LAGIRLS cosmetics. The next event is coming up this Saturday at CossHairs salon. I am also working with the students at the Art Institute in Austin on a fundraising project for BFF. I met the instructor and the students yesterday and they are going to produce something amazing I can tell already!! From now on I will be updating the blog on Saturdays only, unless I have some important news. Thanks to those that are following the blog.

Good morning! I do not know what I am going to do when I run out of quotes!! "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all" {Hellen Keller} Today I will discuss a new hair color on the market that is great if you color at home. It is Nice and Easy 10 min. color. You have very shiny silky hair after you color and the conditioner is great. But of course go see the girls at CrossHairs Salon for professional color.

Good morning. Today's quote "Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom" {Euripides} I just want to say that the program has been a great success so far. The program is booked through June. I am still taking reservations for July and August. I can see wonderful changes in my own daughter Abbey who attended the first program. My heart is heavy for some of the stories I have heard from some of the moms who's girls will be coming through the program. I hope the program can provide a ray of light for these girls. I am very grateful I decided to take this program to the community so many teen girls will be able to benefit from it.

Good morning! Today's quote "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail" {Harold R. McAlidon} Today I just want to say make sure you have a beauty insiders card for Sephora. When you make a purchase you get points that you can use for free products!!! All of the girls who go through the program get a pre-loaded card ready to use. Its a great place to shop, if you want to try a product they will give you a sample, so you can decide if you like the product before you purchase it. I was in the store at Barton Creek mall yesterday and I received a lot of samples. So make sure you visit Sephora soon!!!

Cant sleep! Here's today quote. "The only journey is the journey within" {Rainer Maria Rilke" I have spoke about make-up a lot. Now I want to tell you if you really want your skin to be its best you need to make sure you are taking your make-up off at night. You first need a good cleanser. I recommend purity made simple by Philosophy, because it will also remove eye-make-up. Then I recommend a Clarisonic, to really get your skin clean. Also you need to exfoliate at least once a week. I recommend Clinique 7 day scrub or Philosophys microexfoliater. There are many products you can get at the drug store at a reasonable rate, as well as My Mark page which you can access through my Facebook page. The most important thing is make sure you are cleansing, your face will break out less and your skin will feel softer and smoother!!

Good morning! Today's quote "Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake" {Henry David Thoreau} I will continue the discussion on age appropriate make-up. For the oldest girls meaning 18 and 19, you can start with the smokey eye look that is so popular. This is a great look for evening, a little to heavy for day. There are many kits, pencils, and other products to help you learn this technique. The most important thing is that you do it correctly. Just remember to do a more nude lip with this look!!
