On My Beauty Wishlist: The Outset Cool Cream Smoothing Mask

Image
 Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday/Friday eve to all of you. I hope that you had a great work week and ready to enjoy your weekend.  I was reading a special issue of People Magazine and I saw a mask from a new skincare line named The Outset, so I figured that it's would be a travestry to NOT tell you guys about it.   At The Outset, they believe that Healthy skin starts with radically gentle skincare essentials, powered by botanical hydration. For years, Co-founder Scarlett Johasson struggled with skin sensitivities that diminished herself confidence and occupied my thoughts. She sought counsel from doctors and beauty experts, whose recommendations led her to harsh products that stripped and irritated her already stressed skin.

Her healthiest skin started when she returned to the basics and nurtured this vital organ, versus try

  Good Morning fellow fashion lovers, I'm so glad to be back here with you all again, and I hope that all of you had enjoyed your weekend.  I remember seeing a pair of Freda Salvador shoes in Elle Magazine a couple of years ago, and I fell in love with the design.

The leaves outside my windows are already turning, and I love Fall's possibilities. It's when we can slow down and be grateful for what we have. Fall Fashion is my favorite time when we can wear layers and BOOTS. but this season, Moto boots are carried over from Spring/Summer 2024 to Fall/Winter 2024. I was on a fashion website and saw a stylish woman wearing this trend and after I saw that picture, I saw that Miu Miu had designed a pair of Moto boots for people to wear.  Wearing these boots will give you the cool girl look without the motorcycle. I love seeing this trend worn with a feminine dress and a moto jacket.  I have some boots that you want check out for yourselves. https://www.freepeople.com/shop/buckle-up-baby-moto-boots/?color=020&countryCode=US&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpP63BhDYARIsAOQkATY2Mu
