Ready, Set, Glow!

Okay, so I have been inspired to create this blog by two great people, Yolanda and Sharmetra. Yolanda is my cousin/sister/bff that has been very supportive and inspirational through the years. Sharmetra is a former co-worker/friend, but I feel as though I have known her a long time. She too has inspired me to take great leaps.
I never really noticed how much I was into skin care products until the day Yolanda looked in my linen closet. She was amazed at how much body wash, skin creams, lotions, oils, fragrances, cotton balls, etc. that lived in my closet. She then told me I needed to start a blog about the various products I have tried and ones that I recommend. One of my favorite things to do is go to Sally Beauty Supply, Wal-Mart, Target, MAC, and B&B Works to stock up on lotions, makeup, and foot creams. One store I feel is skin care heaven is SEPHORA!!! I remember the first time walking into that store and I felt right at home. Although I cannot afford to shop there like I want right now, Sephora is a haven for people like me. This store carries everything: various lines of makeup/applicators, perfumes/cologne, hair care items, and skin care products. It's virtually a one-stop shop.
Although I am into skin care products, I truly believe that beauty starts from the inside. When you look in the mirror, the first thing you should see is your character. This supercedes any dry skin, oily skin, "nappy" hair, fine hair, flawless skin, or blotchy skin. As women we are so hard on ourselves about the way we look and how others will percieve us. I personally know how that is and I am still a "work in progress." So, as I update my blog, remember, beauty is only skin deep and the outside is the shell that we maintain to protect the inside. Feel free to leave your comments, suggestions on good finds or just stop by to say hi!
