		<description><![CDATA[My Friend, Kymm McLean, is a makeup artist who I work alongside with in the wedding industry and she posted a status that I felt cleared up a lot of questions I&#8217;ve always had on makeup, the costs of it, and the chemicals in the makeup, so I thought I would share it with you… Enjoy! Kymm says: I was asked today if you can accomplish a great makeup face with drugstore brands vs. department store brands. So here we go, I have alot to say about this subject so I&#8217;ll keep it as brief as possible. When you purchase a drugstore brand, such as Loreal, you are paying for the ingredients, manufacturing, shipping, stocking and advertising. When your purchase department/boutique store brands such as Mac, you are paying for the same, but also for staffing (including hourly rates that average $20-30 an hour, health insurance benefits, training), extensive marketing campaigns, the gratis or &#8220;free&#8221; makeup that employees are given, testers, returns, etc. The profit margin to provide these additional costs is in the MILLIONS. I used to work for Mac, I saw the product manufacturing invoice once, the eye shadows were $.50 to produce, they retail for $16. So, to answer that question, are the ingredients of a higher quality? No. They are typically the same, if you don&#8217;t believe me, compare labels. However, you can purchase a Loreal lipstick and hope for the best. Or you can go to a Mac counter, sit down, have an artist help you chose the colors best for you, try them on and return if it doesn&#8217;t work. Is it worth the additional cost? That&#8217;s a personal decision you have to make. Both brands are full of carcinogenics, parabens, dyes, preservatives, and other ingredients that contribute to bio body burden. Are there brands that don&#8217;t use these ingredients? Absolutely, and you can find many of them at the drugstore or health food grocery store. So, final word. If you simply love a department store makeup item, by all means purchase it. Just be aware that it&#8217;s not BETTER, it just provides an EXPERIENCE you can&#8217;t get at a drugstore : ) &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; My Psoriasis is only skin deep. My skin won&#8217;t stop me because&#8230; It&#8217;s just skin and it&#8217;s only surface deep. I am beautiful, even with my pink/white spots. My daughter looks up to me and I need to be a strong role model for her and teach her that it&#8217;s inner beauty that counts. &#160; Here&#8217;s my story: Just prior to my first Psoriasis outbreak, I was at a peak in my life. I was a happy, healthy mom who was eating clean, fit, confident, and in love with the skin I was in. In fact, I even participated in my first bodybuilding competition and was getting a lot of attention for my success and accomplishments! Then, Psoriasis hit me hard and took away my confidence and drive to keep going. Unfortunately, bodybuilding is all based on how you look and Psoriasis didn&#8217;t seem to care. I  gave up; I let my skin stop me. I used the internet and social media to reach out to others, hoping that someone would be able to offer me some help or advice, because I felt so alone.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently, in the past year, done a 180 with my weight. I get emails all the time and wanted to share an example of the advice I give to a typical person in need of some help! Going from 170-120 lbs took two years and it could have taken a lot less time if I focused more on my nutrition!! Oh, and feel free to take advantage of the coupon code at the bottom of this post for Express Your Health, the best fresh meal delivery company out there!! Xo &#160; An example of an email I received recently: On Feb 18, 2015, at 4:29 PM, J&#8230;..@yahoo.com&#62; wrote: Hey girl, We haven&#8217;t officially met but I know you through mutual friends. I was stalking you IG and just wanted to say how amazing you look especially for how short of a period you have been training and with being a mommy. I wanted to see if you could help me out with a diet. Let me know if you could help. I would greatly appreciate it!! Jessica My Reply: Hey love!! I&#8217;d love to help you out with your diet! You should be eating 6 meals a day, no carbs after 5/6pm! Meal 1: Start your day with plain oats, with 4-6 egg whites (I drink them, they taste like milk) and cook with Mrs. Dash or flavor God. Then the key is to eat every three hours on the dot, finishing each meal in its entirety. Meal 2: This should be something light (snack so to speak) such as nuts and a protein shake, optimum nutrition from GNC is fine (gold standard). Meal 3: For lunch, chicken or fish is perfect&#8230; 4 ounces, don&#8217;t go crazy- with rice and some greens or veggies! Meal 4: This should be asparagus/broccoli/green beans/Brussels and chicken or turkey (ground or burger) and white rice. No butter, salt is fine on everything. I cook with salt and pepper but that&#8217;s it honestly. Moving right along Meal 5: For dinner, steak/lean beef with a green (asparagus are the best). Meal 6: This is your protein shake or another beef meal! Easy peazy!!! Hope this helps write out your choices! Or you can always use my dear friend&#8217;s AMAZING company, Express Your Health if you don&#8217;t have a lot of time on your hands. It&#8217;s really not expensive, especially if you use the promo code: Eben2015, and I honestly spend more time and money at the grocery store and cooking, so if I were you, and if you can afford a whole week, or days worth of meals&#8230; I&#8217;d do that! But, I&#8217;m a diva.]]></description>
