My Favorite Things!

Hello my beautiful friends! My summer is off and running probably just like you. I am often asked what I use and some things I just can't live without. Well, here are a few of my favorite things.


~ My Favorite Things~

1. Primer- I can not stress this enough how much you need a primer. It takes you to a makeup artist level with your makeup application. I'm asked when I'm out how my makeup looks so fresh, PRIMER is my secret weapon! WB Cosmetic Primer www.WendiBraswell.com

2. Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer- Love this and use in the firming formula. Has just enough sheen and natural gradual color.


3. Aveeno Leave In Treatment- You all know I have tons of hair and it can be dry because of all my color processing, so a leave in treatment is key to tame my mane! This is a new product that I tried and just loved the softness it gave my hair.

4. SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense- O.K., So a few months ago I started to get "chin" acne. Everything I tried failed and I chalked it up to hormones! My friend Kara at The Body Bar recommended this product and I have not had one chin breakout since and my skin looks
clear and even.

5. Tinted Moisturizer with SPF- During these hot summer months I lighten up and take a break from foundations but still need to cover some redness. This does the trick and gives me great sheer coverage and is oil-free! WB Cosmetic

Summer is all about relaxing your beauty routine so enjoy your glow and go play!
Stay bright and beautiful,

~ Gift's For Mom~

Mother's Day is arriving fast. Honor her with something that matches her interests, passions and purpose.


Gift Giving Guide for every Mom-

Stylish Mom- She's the Mom who won't leave the house without lipstick. Treat her to a new spring purse or a new pair of stylish sunglasses.
She may also love a gift card to her favorite clothing store and a day out shopping together.

Crafty Mom- She likes to work with her hands. A scrapbook starter kit is a great gift for her to create and keep her memories. Try a flower and pot as a gift to plant together. She will always love a trip to a local pottery to create her very own work of art.

Foodie Mom- She's the Mom who is happiest in the kitchen. Get her a basket filled with her favorite goodies including fun gadgets. A gift card to her favorite restaurant is a great treat for someone always in the kitchen. Stay in and cook her favorite dinner together, you will be sure to share some laughs.

There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one. ~ Jill Churchill

Are you a Transformer?

We have all wanted to "transform" or change at one season of our life or another. It could have been an inward or outward transformation but we just wanted to appear different. I recently spoke at an event that was titled "Transformed". I got to thinking about what that really meant and looked up the definition. Transformed means to undergo a change in form, appearance, or character. Well, I've had plenty of those! Throughout my journey or transformation there have been many in forms of my character and even more in my appearance! My hope for you is take a look at your outward appearance and ask yourself does it match your inside transformation.


Your transformation will start with these 5 things!

5 Things To Transform YOU this Year~

1. Good Bra- I know I know I've said it before but it does matter and sets the foundation to your whole outfit! Dillards and Nordstroms offer free bra fittings, just do it!

2. Great Jeans- Yes I still see mom jeans out there, girls what are you thinking?! Start with a dark wash bootcut, you will appear thinner and current and that's a good thing. Always try them on and they should fit in thigh/ hip area, waist can be taken in.

3. Wear Accessories- I can't live without my accessories! I can transform any boring outfit to something fabulous PLUS show my own personal style. Don't know were to start? Try starting off with wearing earrings, they will add sparkle to your face. You can also make a statement with a great handbag, sunglasses or try color.

4. Makeup- Of course I'm going to say this, because it is the cherry on the top of your look. If you don't wear any makeup, you should it should only bring out your best features and if you wear too much, tone it down and let your beauty shine through. Never had a professional makeup lesson? That will help you know how to hide your flaws and bring out your best !

5. Current Haircut and Color- I'm not talking about your friend or neighbor down the street, it's time to buckle down and get a new cut and color. The right cut can transform your face as well as the right color can brighten you! Visit a professional to get a free consultation.

What will your outward transformation look like? Be a TRANSFORMER today!

Happy spring:)
