GET COZY

When it’s freezing cold, sometimes it’s best to just take the path of least resistance, which means staying in and wearing the softest, most comfortable clothing. Think: chunky knits, thick marled cotton, and soft, shearling-lined slippers — all in calming, natural winter-whites, grays, and blues.Get some nice scented candles,(Byredo, Dyptique, Baobab) some magazines... and just chill and cuddle up. Ready for my sunday ..

XOXO
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
― Audrey Hepburn

WINTER FLUSH


The only beauty gift that comes along with cold winter weather is rosy, flushed cheeks. Thankfully, you don’t actually have to step out into sub-zero temps.For those showstopping cheeks, prep by first moisturizing your face and applying a perfecting foundation. To get this winter flush, pat a rosy pink cream blush onto your cheeks—but don’t blend it all the way in. Apply the color from the apples of your cheeks and up along your cheekbone. Or,using two fingers, you can create the chevron-shaped flush by blending a little bit of lipstick (Yes, lipstick) all along your cheekbones, onto the apples of your cheeks and all the way down from the apples to the jaw. Blend in accordingly, and you are done.

My favourite cream blushes to get this look:

-Make Up For Ever HD Blush in Cool Pink
-Stila Convertible Color in Sweet Pea
-Nars The multiple in Riviera
-Topshop Cream blush in Head over Heels
-Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek colour Balm in Roly Poly Rosy
-Revlon Cream Blush, Charmed Enchantment
