Welcome Lifers, Today is National Splurge Day.  What's yours going to be?  Can I just say, I think this day may just become my new favorite day of the year.   I think sometimes we feel we shouldn't indulge or say “splurge” on ourselves.  That we should do for others instead, well that's fine and dandy, but you do deserve a splurge on yourself from time-to-time.   Whatever your indulgence, today is the day to do it. Now you may not be able to jet off and take that yacht on the French Riviera, but, maybe you can “fake it till you make it” so if you have a ferry boat or schooner nearby, jump on and take a ride.  Or it just might be your local 'cruise' around the lake, just get going and have some indulgence.   Have you ever smelled the wonderful fragrance from a Jo Malone scented candle, or her amazing fragrances? Or, what about a lovely Diptique candle or even better yet, how about their body lotions. I once bought one  from Bergdorf Goodman's in NYC and used it for years (a long-lasting splurge indeed). Yes, I said years, since I would only use it on special occasions, or, days when I felt down in the dumps and needed a quick pick me up. That's one of the wonderful things about fragrances, they really can kick the senses into high gear.   What about a splurge on taking yourself on a much needed over-night stay at your favorite  bed and breakfast hotel or even a friends cabin? Can you feel the peace rolling off you yet? What about taking a splurge with a splash in a beautiful bubble bath, or, any body of water will do, do you live near a lake, a pond, a pool, or have a friends with one? See if you can swing by and take a dip, be sure to do it alone if possible and float your worries away.  Don't delay, be sure to give yourself a bit of a splurge today and have fun.   Cheers, Dawn-Marie XO   Support this podcast

Greetings Lifers, Today's National Crayon Day so I thought it would be appropriate to ask which is your favorite color crayon?  Did you play with crayon's as a child?  I loved coloring in books for many years as a kid, did you? I want you to be child-like today and have some fun.  Take out your kid's box of crayons, or some colored pencils, pens and go to town.  Doodle, draw, sketch.  Do something fun and feel like a kid again. I'd love to see what you did so DM me over on Instagram @DawnMariesFashionFinds. Have fun and stay creative. Love, Dawn-Marie       Support this podcast

Hello Beautiful Lifers, Have you ever gone shopping for makeup whether at a department store counter, or, at a CVS, only to go home, try it on and think to yourself "what was I thinking?".   Makeup colors can be very tricky, as a professional makeup artist, I've been studying color and in particular, makeup colors and which looks best on which skin tone.  But, one thing, I found is that all makeup is NOT created equal.  Nor, are the treatment products. Today I will cover how to find the right colors for your skin's temperature and how to find your skin's temperature now. So, what do you do when you went to the store and purchased all these goodies?  Well, the first thing I want you to do BEFORE you go to the counter to purchase your goodies is to ask them their return policy for makeup.   Most places you can return open makeup products as long as you let them know you have opened and tried the product.  This will be sure that it doesn't end up back in the aisle. I had a friend who never took anything back to the store to return items.  It made me crazy.  To think she wasted hundreds of dollars and left it for them to have.  She'd never wear the clothes she bought that she didn't like, or, any makeup or skincare (even expensive perfumes).  These all can be returned.  Again, just double check with the store's policies and you'll know. Whatever you do, do not use the samples that they put out on the counters.  There are a gazillion of bacteria that get into them.  Purchase the item and if you don't like it, be sure to return it. I also cover some ways on how to beat S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) (yes, it's a real thing) and make your winter feel less dreary. So grab your favorite pair of ear buds, your favorite beverage and pop on over.  I'll see you inside.   Cheers, Dawn-Marie Let's Stay in Touch: IG: @DawnMariesFashionFinds   P.S.  Want more beauty and skincare tips?  Pick up a copy of the 151 Secrets book today: https://151Secrets.com (151 Secrets Book)      Support this podcast
