Delightful Days: Katrina Cottages

As my husband and I recovered from the flu these past 9 days, (we were like two turtles taking care of each other, lol).  We decided we needed some fresh air.  It was such a delightful day, as we walked around the lake.  

I started to think about the Katrina cottages...Oh how I want one so bad.  These homes were designed to help those that lost their homes during Hurricane Katrina.  Not too many were keen on the delight of these homes, so the project was discontinued, thinking they were too similar to the FEMA trailer homes (Not!!).  They are the cutest tiny homes I have ever seen.  A neighborhood filled with these affordable cottages would be awesome!   What are your thoughts?  Have you seen The Katrina Cottages? I hear they are re-launching!!

Glam Group....25 Eye Makeup Tips

I wear glasses and I love them.  The frames are big enough to see my eye makeup.  So every chance I get to  improve my application, I do it...Thanks to Pinterest and my daughter of course.  Her eyes are gorgeous.  She doesn't need it, but she is awesome at it.  

Getting your eyeliner right is one of the most important steps of eye makeup. Here are some eye makeup techniques for beginners that should be definitely followed.

1. Use a makeup remover so that your eyelids are oil/grease-free to ensure a smudge-proof application with the eyeliner.

2. To get that perfect wing while using an eyeliner, keep your eyes open, look straight into the mirror, and line the outer corners of the eyes.

3. Make sure you apply the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible so that it appears to be a part of your natural lashline.

4. To achieve a soft smoky eye, go for pencil eyeliner as it tends to be softer and creamier. Apply it on the eyelids and smudge it with your finger so that it looks more natural and gorgeous.

5. As you age, you might be reluctant to use an eyeliner. You don’t have to stop using the eyeliner, rather, opt for more subtle colors, such as brown and grey, and apply lots of mascara to complement the look.

Food: Meal Prep Tips..

This is the best meal prep I have seen thus far.  Our son just moved into his studio apartment in NYC.  Due to his busy schedule, I suggested a meal prep regimen...Thanks to Pinterest Blogger @RunawayApricot

Every Sunday and/or Monday Sean will post a picture of five lunches and five dinners, all packaged in containers, on instagram. The picture sums up its value – if you’re tired, busy or lazy, you can just reach for a perfectly portioned meal – like the healthier, cheaper, and homemade answer to the convenience of Lean Cuisine. Even if you just don’t like to cook, you can consolidate your work by taking care of it all at once. It just requires a bit of discipline. Sean told me that even the time he came home late on one prep day and cooked past 1 am, he was pleased to have prepared for the week.
