Its holiday season again and that usually means countless parties…especially this last weekend before the Holiday.

From work celebrations to gatherings with family and friends, holiday time means finding a million and one reasons to get fabulous! Not all holiday events call for you to be decked to the hilt, however. Sometimes it may be more appropriate to keep it simple and sophisticated. It’s always best to not overdo it for holiday functions at work, and subtle looks may be a bit more appropriate when connecting with friends and neighbors.
Try these simple steps:

• Moisturize your skin.
• Tame your brows.
• Even skin with a light foundation.
• Sweep neutral shadow across lids.
• Highlight brow bone.
• Layer lip liner and lip tint.
• Pull hair up or back.
• Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize.

Nothing tops off a fabulous holiday party outfit like a smoking hot makeup and hair!

Curly hair needs more moisture than straight hair. The secret to great curls is moisture; curls are most defined when properly moisturized, with minimal frizz!

• Start by using a nourishing, non-drying, non-stripping shampoo such as Hydrating Invigorating Shampoo SLS-Free. This shampoo infuses moisture into the hair and scalp.

• Use a conditioner that not only covers the basics (detangling, moisturizing, and residue/buildup-free), but also smells fantastic! Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner is a fabulous conditioner and the amazing scent is an instant mood elevator.

• Saturate hair with a good leave-in conditioner, such as Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner. Whether you’re going anywhere or not, always mist your hair with a leave-in conditioner. I never leave my hair exposed to the day’s weather or activities, regardless of what I have planned.

• Did you know the coarse, absorbent texture of a terrycloth towel promotes frizz for your curly hair? Cut down drying time and reduce frizz with a DevaCurl Microfiber Towel. It provides a smooth surface and absorbs just enough water to allow styling products to set curls while keeping them defined, frizz-free and intact.

Remember, curly hair needs to be washed and dried a bit differently than other hair types…to ward off frizz and maintain your curls’ beautiful, au natural shape.

The Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project (CFAP) is a wonderful organization that focuses on the healthcare worker, caregiver, or volunteer providing regular, compassionate care for someone in need.  Caregiving tasks are physically exhausting, emotionally draining, and isolating. 

CFAP works to educate the caregiver in how to ‘care’ for themselves.  Whether you are a professional caregiver or healthcare worker or helping care for a elderly parent or chronically ill child or spouse – take a look at the material available on this site and on their Facebook Page. 

We ALL know how hard this work is – reach out and show your gratitude to those who care for the ones you love.
