One day I was door to door marketing for my Rejuve-N-Luv Body Scrubs when I came across a sweet lad...

Let Kids Be Kids!!!

If you can, think back to your younger years, maybe when you were grade school age, or even younger if you can. What were you like? Did you have fears and worries and doubts or anxiety?? Kids can be cruel. Let’s face it, adults can be cruel too. The world isn’t by any means a perfect place, it’s far from it. But as a parent, you want to try to instill good morals and selflessness...

What’s the Beauty “BUZZ”??

Recently I found this amazing product and I just have to share it with everyone I know!!

Drugstore vs. Department Store Makeup

Acne at (Almost) 30

  My pimples are only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because I’m a smart, beautiful, bride-to-be who is a partner in a company. …phew…that statement was harder to write than you would imagine.
