Spring 2018: When to Shop a Sale.

Hello! I enjoy shopping I mean to the point where it is more than a hobby it is more like a talent. One of my favorite things to do is budget and sale shopping. I really truly do not like to buy full price if I can help it. I wanted to update my earrings for Spring, get some pops of color, and add some easy day to night pieces to my collection. You don’t have to update your closet and break the bank. The best time to go look for deals on items that are on trend or a classic item that won’t go out of style is at the start to mid week. Most stores do markdowns at the beginning of the week so the best time to go is Monday through Wednesday when the newest markdowns have not been shopped yet and the most variety will be there. I got a few pairs today for $12 dollars each and they were originally $40. Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

$12 each at Dillard’s.

Product Review: Lancome Bronzer.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a good and productive week. I don’t like to be heavy handed with my makeup especially during the week and at a corporate job. My go to look everyday is: tinted moisturizer, eyeliner on the inside on top and bottom, mascara, a peachy/brownish blush and a bit of bronzer to give myself a natural glow. Honestly the perfect bronzer is one that has limited sparkle and one that is ONE shade darker than your complexion. To achieve that nice natural looking glow never go beyond two shades darker than your actual skin tone. Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

Review: This color is highly pigmented, and you only need a little bit, it gives a nice glow and gives skin a dewy effect. I sometimes just use this without any blush if I am going for a very natural look. This bronzer goes well day or night. One palette should last you about a 6 months to a year depending on how much you wear it.

A Look Back at 2017.

As I say goodbye to an emotional draining year I can’t help but at least be thankful and appreciative that my life was spared. 2017 taught me a lot about patience, growing as a person, and what I wanted for my future. Though the accident and other personal moments this year were not of the most positive nature I can’t help but be proud of the personal growth I made. The love I felt from my loved ones during my recovery period was my biggest motivator in getting back to my normal self. The biggest lesson I took away from this year is to NEVER GIVE UP because tomorrow is not promised, life can truly change in an instant, and never stop trying to be your best self.

My hope for 2018 is continue to improve myself, kick butt in my career, meet the love of my life, and give everyone I meet as much respect and kindness as I can. My wish for the world is to have peace and for the citizens of the world to treat each other with kindness no matter our differences.

Happy New Year! MAKE THIS YEAR THE BEST YET!

Love, Sunder Soloni Behl

 

Jewelry Trend: The Modern Hoop.

Hello! One of my favorites trends that has popped up lately are a comeback from the 90’s..hoop earrings! What I love about this look is there is a style for everyone they come in so many different sizes, colors, and textures. Personally I love gold hoops, paired with an over-sized tee, skinny jeans, and a bold lip. Another look I enjoy rocking is colorful pair with a black dress or dainty hoops with my leggings, casual top, and Adidas. Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

Seasons Greetings!

Hello! I love the holidays not only for the food, catching up with family and friends, decorating my house, and my favorite dressing up for Christmas parties! It’s the time of year where it is perfectly acceptable to wear an enormous amount of shimmer and not look like you bathed yourself in a glitter bomb! I have a few pieces that I reserve for the Holiday season such as my pleather tight, two leather skirts, my gold shimmery cardigan, and a few of my green silk tops! What are some of your favorite pieces that you wear only during the holiday seasons? Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

Holiday Nails!

Hello! The best part of the Holiday season (besides the food) to me are all the bold colors that you get to wear..on your nails! Don’t get me wrong I love the usual dark purple hue or glitter but those aren’t the only options!Everyone has different styles and preferences. Here are a few options for the upcoming holiday season! Thanks for reading Xoxo.

Product Review: Dr.Brandt Primer.

Dr. Brandt pores no more pore refiner primer. This quickly became my new favorite primer..I am OBSESSED. I first received a sample of it and after using it a few times I fell in love! It absolutely made my skin appear smoother and even toned. The price tag is a bit steep but the bottle is a good size and you need just a little bit. It should last you a few months. 

The brand states “it acts as an invisible barrier to prevent makeup from clogging pores and as a velvety primer to absorb excess oil and blur fine lines and imperfections while improving the longevity of makeup.” Sold at Sephora for $45. 

 

 

 

Glow All Year Around.

Happy Monday! The key to having a glow year around is a lot more easier to achieve than most people would think. Here are some idea’s to help attain that natural glow year around! Thanks for reading. Xoxo.

• WATER. This is a no brainer and by far one of the easiest things to do to keep your skin hydrated and youthful. Doctors recommend having at least 8 full glasses of water everyday.
• SWEET POTATOES. They contain the disease fighting carotenoids that give those plants their rich color. Eating these a few times a week will give you fast results and your skin will thank you!
• TUMERIC. This has been used in India for thousands of years to give Indian woman that ultimate natural glow on their wedding days. Turmeric’s active antioxidant, curcumin, has shown to be one of the most effective anti-inflammatory and free-radical fighting options out there. Tumeric cleans up your pores, lightens discoloration and brown spots which eventually will tone your face. Mix two tablespoons, one tablespoon of plain yogurt, and half a tablespoon of honey this will create a paste. I recommend using gloves when placing the paste on your face because tumeric is a strong spice and instantly stains what it touches. Let the mask harden and keep on for about 15-20 minutes! Use this mask twice a week to see the best results.
•  SALMON. This fish contains omega-3’s and dimethylaminoethanol which promotes healthy skin and protects our cell membranes. Salmon is the perfect anti again and toning food you can eat. Eating salmon about 4 times a week should get you the results you are looking for. If you really enjoy eating fish and don’t get bored than by all means eat at one of your meals everyday!
• EGGS. The yolk is rich in vitamins that are essential for cell function, eggs also contain biotin which are used in the well known “beauty vitamin.” Biotin helps protect skin from acne and dryness.
• AVOCADOS. They are filled with antioxidants like beta carotene, which helps to soften skin and keep it looking supple. Eating them everyday can get a bit pricey but it worth it. And honestly after awhile you will be saving money on skincare because you probably won’t need as many serums anymore!
• CARROTS. These awesome veggies contain vitamin A an antioxidant that prevents overproduction of cells in the skins outer layer. These means less dead skin cells that can eventually start to clog our pores. Eating these as a snack or as a side at lunch time everyday is the perfect way to keep our skin looking dewy.
• ALMONDS.  Vitamin E is our winner here, it helps repair scarred cells and defends against sun damage. Vitamin E acts like an antioxidant, it works to help keep our bodies free of free radicals that can age our skin. Eat a handful of these a day as a snack between meals!
