In A Rut? No More!!!

If you're finding yourself in a rut, like I sometimes do (especially on Wednesdays), here are some helpful tips to help get you in productivity mode!

 Hugs work wonders!

Write A To-Do List

Getting your life maintenance stuff out of your head and onto a piece of paper will give you the peace of mind that you don't have to focus on those items right now and tackle when you're ready.

Move
One of the best antidotes I know for feeling better when you're in a rut is to go and move my body for a while.  Get up and do some yoga, go for a walk, do some pushups and jumping jacks.  Movement will get you out of your energetic funk and back into your flow. 

Talk

Brainstorming is a part of my day for a good reason. Speak your ideas out loud to someone, or even better talk about your ideas with someone and get feedback.  It's one of the best ways to fuel creativity. Find someone to engage in conversation with. You never know what may come up, and as the saying goes, sometimes two brains are better than one!

Relax
If moving and talking are not doing it for you, there is always stillness.  Find a calm space and give your mind a break to just be and see what arises.

Go Have Some Fun
Get up and get out for some enjoyment!  When you're in a state of fun, you are in a state of joy.

Sexy Smokey Eyes

Makeup is evolving every day, especially with respect to eye makeup. Whether you're going out for a date night or event, a smokey eye is sure to make you look sophisticated and classy.  It is blending of three to four colors of eyeshadow to create this sexy smokey effect.

Easy Steps to Smokey Eyes

STEP 1:

Prime your eyelid for a lasting effect.

STEP 2:

Apply a dark shade of eye shadow to your entire lid (see color suggestions below), close to the lash line. Blend color upward to the crease.
Eye Makeup Color GuideFor hazel eyes: Brown and beige shadow with a black eyeliner
For blue eyes: Gray and white shadow with a navy eyeliner
For brown eyes: Navy and beige shadow with brown or black eyeliner
For green eyes: Green and gold shadow with dark brown eyeliner

STEP 3:

Add a lighter shade of shadow under the eyebrow until it meets the darker shade. Blend the two shades together.

STEP 4:

Line the inside of the bottom rim of eyes with a pencil, and slightly smudge.

Tip: Metallic colors are perfect for holidays and make eyes pop!

STEP 5:

Use a thick, black pencil and line the top eyelids to complete the smoky look.

STEP 6:

To accentuate the effect, apply 2 coats of mascara to eyelashes.

The most important tool for getting a smokey eye is appropriate makeup brushes. They should be clean, good quality and soft to blend colors effectively.

 I'm going to try this look Saturday night!

Peacock Inspired

One of my favorite birds is the peacock. When I was a child, my Aunt & Uncle owned a farm and on the farm...Peacocks! Well, there were cows and pigs and chickens too, but I was in love with the peacocks. Every time we visited, we would leave with a big bouquet of feathers, which we would use to decorate our house. I have noticed the explosion of peacock influenced fashion design! It's not surprising that what is trending in the fashion world often influences what we wear and how we feel. Deep turquoises, Teals, Greens & Chartreuse are being seen everywhere. I love the pop of color!  Dare to be seen in one of these stunning and unique dresses.  We have them now in stock at Blush Boutique or shop with us online at Shoptiques.com http://www.blush-calabasas.shoptiques.com

A Touch Of Pink

Pink doesn’t have to be girly. In fact, it can look surprisingly cool when done properly. Take a cue from this street style and opt for tailored separates in fuschia-tinted pinks. Finish with sharp accessories like a structured clutch and pointed pumps.
