“Do we REALLY understand our purpose as women?”
Dear Kim:
Have you ever felt confused with all the information that has being given to you and then, be at a stand still for fear of making the wrong move?
Well, I sure have… plenty of times. The day I made a commitment to question the direction of my life, was the day I understood the meaning of the word responsibility. I can remember reading so much information on any topic and then feeling hesitant to take a step, afraid to make a decision for it could be the wrong one because I couldn’t use ignorance as an excuse any longer.. Exhausting!
Some deep breathing and a smacks across the head (my Italian upbringing came in handy), usually put me back on track. All this… “How do I fix it? How can I avoid this? How can I make it better?”… was shutting down my feelings. I was disconnecting with the very part of me that is female.. my heart.
So now, I needed to understand why I kept detaching from my feelings.
(I know, it sounds like I have a disorder).
During my endeavor, I recognized how to align with my feminine more deeply.
So what does that mean?
I’ve spent some time studying male and female energy and comprehending the meaning of each.
Let’s start by defining both.. first male energy.
It’s the element where drive, focus, discipline and purpose stems from. It is solution oriented always looking for the best strategy to accomplish the result needed. Male energy plans, organizes, leads and controls any situation to encourage success.
Now let’s look at female energy.
The energy is sensual, open, life force and creates space for emotions and feelings to flow. The feminine is a state inducer that enjoys revealing the senses. It’s sustained by color, sound, touch, taste, smell and intuition for it longs to feel love through everything and everyone.
Alright… now you have a brief description of both.
Can you see how living in a society where pursuing deadlines and achieving goals has denied our state of “being” and “feeling”.We are so busy planning with our minds that we tend to ignore our senses, our emotions and our bodies. We are walking around almost out of touch.
Luckily, some of us take yoga classes, dance classes, cooking classes, learn how to play an instrument… anything to get back into what our essence needs to feel nourished… Love.
What do I mean by love?
Our body and our heart yearns to be loved. Deep down we are wanting to be seen for who we are, beyond our suits that we wear to portray our professional lives.
Underneath each suit, lies a woman… a sensual woman who loves every part of her body, mind and spirit. She is vulnerable and wants to feel secure to surrender to the love of a an without fear that he will be frightened by her demonstration of tears.
We’ve become purpose driven women who can achieve any goal we set, yet may have forgotten that our feminine needs to be nurtured.
So, how do we do that?
We embrace our purpose!
I’ve observed using your feminine energy, body language and compassion to inspire and invite a man to connect with his heart and yours while cherishing the value of your needs, keeps you aligned with your purpose.
In other words, entice and attract, keep your needs in the forefront of your mind and chop of his balls with LOVE when he doesn’t act with integrity.
Sound harsh?
Not really. Understand this isn’t an invitation to nag a man because you will repel him and it’s not an invitation to avoid expression what you need because he won’t see your worth. It is an invitation to come from a place of compassion (because we are all trying to do our best) and stand in your values.
So what does all of this have to do with body language and sensuality?
EVERYTHING!
This helped me realize that I am more than just flirting with a man… I’m inviting him to his heart because most men have a difficult time with this.. it is not part of the male energy. And what makes a woman attractive is her ability to lead a man to his heart fist through her body language and most importantly through her heart.
This has given me a renewed sense of purpose… leading with my feminine energy!
This is why body language and sensuality is extremely important to learn.
I have realized how being in my body helps me connect with my feminine energy more.
This is why YOU need to read my book.
Insider you’ll see pictures and detailed descriptions of how to stand, walk, sit and use eye contact to achieve rapport with a man. You’ll find that each description to be easy to understand and effortless to accomplish.

I came across a few beauty make up tips I thought you might like to know:
Never apply moisturizer to the eyelids before your eye shadow because it will cause it to crease and not last as long. Use instead a Makeup Primer to help make your eye shadow stay put. Benefit has a awesome one called F Y Eye that really works if you want to spend $22.00 on it. Overall Beauty offers one that is basically the same without that price. Its only $9.99 and you can check it out here: Beautiful Eyes Makeup Primer
You should exfoliate your lips regularly to keep the texture smooth and soft. You can do this right after your shower. Just apply lip balm and wait a minute or so and take a soft bristle toothbrush and brush your lips. You can use your towel too if you like. What every you do just remember to apply a lip balm again to help keep your lips kissable soft. Wear a lip balm at all times if you are not wearing lip gloss or lipstick.
Sunscreen all year around no matter were you live!! Did you know that the sun is brighter and harder on your skin in the winter time? Something about how it reflects off the ground and hits you right in the face double time! Wear your sunscreen! If you wear a foundation that says it has sunscreen in it, that isn’t enough in most cases. Check the SPF if its below 15 you need to add sunscreen.

beautyADDICTS
I got to test over the summer Beauty Addicts amazing products! They have a great eye shadow combo of four colors that goes with just about everything called SolutionEYES - Express: Beauty Addicts SolutionEYES are unique eye shadows
Beauty Addicts is truly “beauty made simple”. An effortlessly elegant color system of palettes using shades and textures that complement each other with timeless style and an of-the-moment edge. They have created a revolutionary approach to makeup that empowers women to choose their look with confidence and ease. They replaced the “seasonal color story” with an elegant system of color families designed around the moods and attitudes of today’s woman – be it flirtatious, casual, professional or downright glamorous. Indulge the colors of your life with Beauty Addicts. Be true to your own unique voice. Break free of convention.
Beauty Addicts SolutionEYES are unique eye shadow quads each offer four sumptuous, blendable shades formulated in textures that range from sheer matte to subtle shimmer-all designed to mix flawlessly for a goof-proof application.
All of these eye shadows have been formulated with minerals (zinc stearate, titanium dioxide, iron) and the Shimmer and Frost formulas have super-fine crushed pearls added for a soft, luminous finish. Additionally, the formulas are oil free and oil absorbent, lessening the possibility of creasing on the lid.
Available Palettes:
What was great about the colors where they went on and stayed on. That can be a problem at times with eye shadows, they go on then you got it in your crease within the hour. That is not something this brand does. I have the lipsticks also in Express. Its beautiful shades of peachy, bronze, and nude.
Out of the whole set of goodies I received from the new ladies at Beauty Addicts, is their bronzer! I think it was what I really enjoyed using the most. It didn’t feel like I was wearing anything at all! It was a perfect color for just about anyone. They say when you get older that you need to make a bronzer your best friend for you face instead of trying to hide your face under tons of foundation. You really need to check out everything that Beauty Addicts have to offer. They are really worth the money and you get so much more in value. The lip brush is way cool too!

Today handcrafted body scrubs or any kind you pick up at your local drug store are all the rage. If you have never tried a sugar body scrub then hopefully this article will help you pick out if sugar is better for you or salt or a combination.
When so many of us do not have the time to take a bath but for rare occasions, taking a shower has become the norm. The only problem with taking a shower is you don’t get that I just spoiled myself feeling, or leave the shower feeling like you just been pampered.
Showers on the other hand have to be fast and sometimes hurried. That where a good body scrub would come in. You could wash your hair and while your hair has the conditioner on it instead of using a body wash you would use a body scrub. Do you know how to pick a body scrub or what are some of the main ingredients you should find in one? Simple question sure but do you?
First off body scrubs are never meant for your face so please do not use it that way.
There are three main types of body scrubs, you have one that is all sugar, ones that are all salt and ones that are a combinations of both.
The main ingredients in all scrubs is sugar or salt or both and some type of oil.
Let’s start off with what is a sugar body scrub?
Sugar body scrubs meant to exfoliate, moisturize, and improve circulation. What’s great about sugar body scrubs is that when they have been created with Shea Butter they go on extra smooth and leave your skin soft, and touchable. With just a extra few minutes in the shower is all it takes. What is also good about sugar body scrubs is they tend to melt as you are exfoliating your skin. Your body has lots of dead skin cells on it, most we don’t even see, a good sugar scrub with remove it and leave in its place a softer smoother skin. You would leave your shower feeling this way every time you use it. A sugar body scrub is better for those with more delicate skin but still want to exfoliated their body.
There is only one draw back to most scrubs is that they can leave a film on the bottom of the tub because of the main ingredients besides sugar is an oil. The oil used in a sugar body scrub like is the glue that holds it together.
You can make a super simple one with just a cup of sugar and adding enough olive oil to make smooth. There is no amazing scent but it works.
The handcrafted sugar scrubs are some of the best in the world because the creators all take the time to test out the scrubs before offering them to you. Its possible to get scrubs that are created for those of who enjoy unscented, vegan, heavier scented and with all types of oils in them.
To name a few ingredients:
They could have milk powders, almond oil, rice powder, emu oil, grape seed extract, olive oil and so many others. Two major ingredients that you will find are Shea and or Cocoa butter. Shea and cocoa butters is loved by your skin because they are absorbed by your dry and thirsty skin which then can deliver long-lasting moisturizing benefits. With sugar scrubs they could be white sugar, brown sugar or again a combination of both types of sugars. There are some that are made with raw brown sugar as well.
Those who create handcrafted ones are in for the joy that they know it will give you and sure a little money as well. The only draw back to the sugar body scrub is those that have diabetes should check with their doctor before using it as well as the one that is a combination of both.
It will come down to what feels best of your skin, and how you feel once you step out of the shower. If you feel rough and raw then you better stay way from salt body scrubs, if you feel smooth and pampered then that sugar body scrub is the best for you. If you are not sure you even like the one you are using, then stop using it and get one that has something different in it. You will find that if you buy handcrafted body scrubs the ingredients will be words you understand, usually the English name and then what they are called in Latin.
Start looking into what’s in your body scrub, because it maybe helping you or it could be harming your skin. Rough feeling is not what your body should feel like after using a body scrub! With so little time to pamper ourselves sometimes a simple sugar body scrub is all you to brighten your day.

Christmas is coming up on us what feels really fast again this year. Do you have your own list ready? Women tend to think of everyone else before they think of themselves, its the way we are raised and its the way most families just are. This is something you could probably say its in our genes, taking care of others and forgetting ourselves. What if you just lost a ton of weight and you walk into your closet and can truly say NOTHING FITS!! Ok maybe thats just me then but I know what I want for Christmas, about 4 pairs of jeans in 2 sizes smaller than what I have now. I have already started reminding everyone that nothing fits and what I want. So what do you want?
Most of us check out whats on the web first to make sure that we are getting great deals. If there is a lot in your family it maybe a good idea to get all your gifts from the same place. A lot of websites are setup with Free Shipping over so much money spend on items. Overall Beauty.com is set up for over $70.00 and has tons of gift giving ideas for all those amazing women in your life. Some sites are setup for over $50.00 to over $100.00 before you get Free Shipping so you need to check their shipping policy before ordering. Do also check if they ship overseas because many sites that offer natural skincare products may not. Always email the owner of the site before ordering if you want it send overseas.
Use Paypal as your payment if you are verified really helps out the sites owners because there is so much bad people out there willing to use credit cards not theirs to buy things with. Beauty websites are just trying to make a little money too, most of them are running home businesses. Check if any websites are in your home state and ask if its possible to pick up your gifts. That also helps out the website owners. You never know, a little kindness during the busiest time of the year may just make someone’s day or yours. Smile it won’t break your face!!
One thing that happened to me was a hidden cost was added to my order. I went to order something and was told that shipping was only $5.40 ok thats not too bad BUT when it was time to pay, the shipping cost went up $4.00!! When I called and asked why I was told it was a handling fee!!
Ebayer sellers are famous for this! Watch when you order anything off eBay for the same reason, those people depending on what you are ordering are jacking up the price of shipping when its really not as much as they say it is. If you buy something thats a .99 cents and yet shipping is $6.00 don’t be surprised if they are recouping what they lost by selling it to you for .99 cents by over charging you for shipping. Unless what you bought came from over seas thats different but if it came for the next state over? Then shipping should not that much if they are shipping by Post Office but many use do UPS and they over charge you. How do I know that? I went to ship a package to the United Kingdom, it weight less than 1 pound. Post Office cost was $4.90 and yet UPS was $56.87!! Is that crazy or what?
Gift giving season is not that far away so you need to start checking out what deals you can find now, buy now and then when its time to give, you have all your gifts ready. I have heard of women who buy all their gifts in Sept. and Oct. while others wait till the very last minute. What type of gift giver are you? And don’t forget to give out your own list of gifts you want this year, fair is fair you know.
For your information if you need your gift wrapped for you, Overall Beauty.com does do that for some items, just email Kim at Kim@overallbeauty.com and ask her what items you can get pre-wrapped for you. Great idea if you are shipping your gifts out to family and you don’t want to bother buying it off a site have it shipped to you and THEN you ship it out. Cost of shipping did go up so check if gift wrapping is an option when ordering off the web.
Now you have an awesome day!!
Ok who doesn’t have trouble with liquid eyeliner.. You want to look so cool and if you don’t have it just right it looks really bad. Ever heard that it does bleed too? Oh great I take all that trouble to get my cats eyes on and loose part of the eyeliner cause its bleeds? I don’t like that idea all ready. So I was blogging at Glam.com and I needed some info on eyeliner and what would make it easier to use.
Knowing that I do know a real makeup artist I asked Beth Bender Beauty about. What she said to do is using her stencils and eye shadow do this.. Take a little shadow and get it wet and then when you have the stencil in place on your eye you can put the eyeliner on and wow there you go! Cat eyes!!
Or smoky eyes depending on what you like most. Now if you really must have the wet eyeliner look .. still using her stencils go 
ahead and add the shadow that comes in the set and then go over it with a wet eyeliner. That way its going to stay put cause who has time when you go some hot man checking you out.. Do you really want to run to the bathroom to check to see if your smoky eyes are still there? I didn’t think so… Do be careful out there ladies.. looking so hot with those smoky eyes can really get them thinking… bedroom eyes maybe?
Did you know that not all fragrances smell the same on all people? Fragrances have different reactions on each of us. This is why you should never purchase a fragrance just because you like the way it smells on a friend. The fragrance might not have the exact same scent when you try it on. I have always wondered.. when you go to the store and see the latest fragrance that just came out by some actor.. do you pick it up and try it because of her or the name of it? Have you tried some that makes you wonder.. how the hell does this sell? (thinking Tabo why does anyone wear that stuff?)
So I did some looking into what it takes to make perfume as well as what should happen while you are wearing it.
You have put on a pretty fragrance you saw in the store and are now walking around a bit to see how it reacts to you.Well don’t be surprised if a fragrance seems to change with a few hours of wear. Or even just a few minutes. This is normal. All fragrances have three notes (or phases) that they go through during a single wear. It might smell different at the end of the day than it did in the morning. Here is some basic information about fragrances that is the same for each kind cheap or over-priced.
Each fragrance has top, middle and base notes.
The top notes are what you smell when you put the fragrance on. This period usually lasts for about five to ten minutes. The top notes provide freshness and are often comprised of lighter notes.
The middle notes, which are also called the body notes, tell the story of the fragrance.
As the fragrance begins to warm on your skin, the true scent comes to life. The body notes will combine with top notes to expose the fragrance’s warmth and distinctiveness.
The base notes are the final expression of a fragrance. They are the memory of the top and body notes. Base notes will surface after three to six hours of wear. They are the lasting staying power of the fragrance. Wood, moss and musk scents are common base notes.
Do you like heavy scents, what does that say about you? Or do you like fruit like perfumes? Light and airy? In choosing a perfume first off decide why you are going to wear it. I wear Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel as my “you can’t afford me perfume.”(everyone needs a perfume like that..honestly ladies don’t you feel that way sometimes?) As well as makes me feel a little sexier that day when I do wear it.
I wear Intuition and Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder for work and as a gift from my husband the heaviest scent I own and will wear is Allure Sensuelle by Chanel I have very none cheap tastes in perfume but thats just me.. I think I was picked by my perfumes do to my personality and why I wear it. Will I change? Sure nothing worse than seeing someone who never changes up their perfume..not because they can’t its just they are too lazy to find something new.
Do your self a favor and have at least 3 different types of perfume to wear. And ladies you don’t need to ONE wait for some man to buy you one and TWO yes you wear whatever you enjoy…he don’t like it well thats his problem not yours right?
Do stop by Overallbeauty.com and see if you can get her to start selling perfume.. oh yeah thats me huh? lol have a great week!
