Fall Finds To Add To Your Wardrobe

Fall Finds To Add To Your Wardrobe

The best time of year is finally here! Fall, has officially arrived and I couldn’t be happier. Is it just me or does life seem to slow down a bit in the fall, it’s almost like the calm before the storm of the holiday season. You can just breathe easier.

Fall is in the air.

As the days begin to end earlier and the cool, crisp air fills your lungs in the mornings, it’s the perfect time to take a step back and breathe. The vivid colors of yellows, oranges, and reds fill the tree line as the season changes. As you walk, the crunch of leaves under your feet, and the air begins to smell of all things fall. Your senses are on overdrive from the smell of fresh baked pies, autumn spices, and pumpkins.

Delight Naturals take your fall senses to the next level with their fall-inspired lip balms. With so many amazing scents, it’s hard to choose your favorite! Out of all of them though, I think mine would have to be the Spiced Pear Lip Balm. With a base of coconut oil and beeswax, there is no greasy feeling left behind. Unlike most balms, these don’t leave behind chunks of the balm on your lips, just a smooth, velvety feeling.

The Harvest Pies Lip Balm set reminds me of where I was in elementary school. We would have a festival every year where there would be a cakewalk, so the whole gym would smell like all these delicious pies and cakes. It was something as a child I looked forward to every year. The sound of laughter filled the air as families spent the evenings together. And the biggest worry was not being able to get the bean bag inside the smiling pumpkins.

Spiced Pear

It’s so funny how just a smell can bring back such fun memories. A time when life was a little slower, and the weight of the world wasn’t so darn hard. A time when laughter and fun-filled the air. When a community came together and made sure the kids had some much-needed time to unwind and just be little. The world these days is so fast-paced.

So this season be sure to grab you one of the new fall lip balms from Delight Naturals. And let the joy of the cooler weather fill the air. If you are interested in grabbing your own be sure to visit their website, Facebook, or Instagram!

When Life Gives You Lemons

I started writing for BeautyBrite almost 8 years ago, as a way to have an outlet because of a car accident that almost killed me. And almost 8 years later I’m right back in the same position, of sitting here not being able to walk again after my 10th surgery ( my 4th ankle operation). While so much has changed it’s hard not to look at this situation and get overcome with emotions of just how much my life has changed since that cold November day.

A day that started like every other, ending in one of the worst nightmares I could ever imagine. This person who had no regard for anyone but himself to get behind the wheel with a blood alcohol level of .36, how none of us died I’ll never know. No one should have gotten out of this accident alive.

Car accident 2016

I sit here knowing that there is a plan, a plan even if I don’t know what it is. I shouldn’t have survived three out of four limbs being broken, a compound fracture to the left arm and dislocated elbow, a concussion, a shattered heel, a cut so deep on my right knee it almost severed my leg, and breaking my right wrist.

Some days the pain is so bad I can hardly walk or move, and yet I keep going. I keep going because I have four tiny people who count on me. I won’t let this pain stop me. I won’t let the unknown stop me. I won’t let the multiple hurdles stop me.

Drunk driving is preventable, if you see something say something. Don’t let someone get behind the wheel because next time that family/ your family may not be so lucky. For more information please click here.

So when life gives you lemons make lemonade and take a deep breath because it’s all going to be ok somehow.

Finding the Perfect Pop of Color

Finding the Perfect Pop of Color

With Summer closing quickly and Fall right around the corner, finding unique cosmetic colors that match your style is always challenging. As the nights start to grow longer and the trees shine bright with their stunning colors, who doesn’t want to shine just as brightly as they do? The color from the shining Christmas lights as you pass through the towns, finding the perfect colors to match your holiday festivities.

We are finding a pop of passion.

Fall is in the air, and I for one can’t wait. I love the crip blustery air, the warm hoodies, and the new bold colors that the leaves bring when they start their transition. Out with the old and in with the new, opening up so many opportunities for the new season to come.

Finding that perfect cosmetic company can sometimes be difficult but with DIDI Beauty that’s not a problem at all! I love bright and fun colors and with their Party Guest Bundle of Eye Pigments, you will not be disappointed. Their beautiful colors are perfect to give any outfit that perfect POP. With shades that shine so bright, it’s hard for it not to put an extra pep in your step.

And while we are talking about eyes, let’s just talk about the Lash Climax Waterproof Long-lasting Mascara. This waterproof mascara does not disappoint at all and doesn’t smear. Its thick formula gives you a bold look without being a clumpy mess. Finding a good mascara is hard but I love this one. I don’t have thick eyelashes normally but this mascara helps bring them to life.

Stripped Lips

My all-time favorite product from this company is by far the Stripped Matte Liquid Lipstick. I love the bright red shade of the Clay . And talk about a color that stays, this lipstick lasts all day long. I work in retail and its so nice to not have to worry about reapplying my lipstick throughout the day. It is bright and bold and goes on smoothly. Perfect for that bold look with any outfit. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the lipstick. It sure helps boost my self-esteem, and makes me feel like I can conquer the world.

Battling Hair Loss and Damage

Growing up I always thought hair loss was something that just happened to men. Never in a million years would I have ever thought that it would be something I would be battling daily. So I never expected that so many outside factors could cause hair loss and damage.

Struggling with hair loss

I have always colored my hair, which now knowing better is one of the major reasons my hair has become so very damaged. By not giving it enough time in between coloring and harsh bleaching I let it get to the point that it is now. It’s so fragile and weak. It breaks at the slightest tug. I always have joked that if coloring my hair is the worst thing I do then I am in pretty good shape but now I’m paying for the years of abuse with some pretty heavy hair loss.
