Quotably quotable.

Someone told me they hated this new "trend" of quotes on pretty pictures or neatly designed, floating all around social media. I understood where she was coming from, since many quotes are not even quoted properly or the picture has nothing to do with pictures itself. But I think it wonderful to see these quotes and proverbs floating around. I think they leave a positive message for those who notice it.

Sometimes the pretty flower pictures with  "Live in the moment," is the needed reminder for a mother to slow down and enjoy her children. Or maybe the sunrise with couple walking into it with, "Fight for Love," gives a struggling couple ambition to keep trying. It may seem stupid to others, but for some other person they are just the right words at the right moment. This a trend that actually does no harm, but can help and make people happy. It is something the world could use more off. Here are few of my favorites that floated around facebook.

"I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls."- Audrey Hepburn.

This one is popular. It is simple, but speaks loud. Happy girls are pretty girls. Beauty is placed in such vain things, like to be pretty you must be size 2, with large breasts, with men fawning over you left and right. No, simply be yourself and be happy and you are already gorgeous.

"If you ask me, I think I am a mixture, of what I don't know." -Marilyn Monroe

We all change over time. We can like one thing, then hate the next moments. We grow up, we renew ourselves. There is always something new to learn everyday, which becomes a little part of us. We are not just one title. For me , I am plucky, ambitious, over bearing, loving, out-going, a mother, daughter,etc. The list can go on and and on. 

 "You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you." -Mary Tyler Moore

This one is so very true! Sometimes life has to get a little rough so we can face our fears. You can't run from your problem or expect nothing bad to happen. 

These are pretty short. I like long ones, but I find them hard to remember so my favorites tend be shorter. Anyways, what are your favorite quotes? 

Until another day,

Toodles!

THoughts on -"Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick"

Another product I wish to share with you all. Rarely do share products but sometimes I do, usually from Influenster, which I did receive this product from, but these are my honest opinions. I never share anything I don't like, because if I didn't like why would want to share it?


First those who know me know I hardly wear lipstick. Those who don't know me, would never meet in public wearing lipstick, why? Because it cracks my lips. I am one of those people who sensitive lips that I react to some lip balms even. (I know pretty sad.) On the few time I have worn lipstick it is because I went ga-ga over the color (the artist inside me) or it was for something special, like a wedding. However, Rimmell London Moisture Renew Lipstick was quiet a little surprise for me.
 Please excuse the lopsided lips. My lips are uneven, but that is one flaw I don't want to hide, because it is part of me. No one notices unless I have pictures this close to my lips.
First, very creamy. I tested it on my wrist for a hour to see if I would react, then placed in on lips. Very creamy texture which glides on very smooth. The color was pretty intense the first time I applied. Very bright but liked the fact the it was pigmented and didn't have to reapply sick times to get the actual color of the lipstick. A little goes a long way. So if you want just hint a color I would use a lip brush to apply.


Now just because it says "moisture" somewhere in the title doesn't mean it really does anything for the lips to hydrate or keep moist. Yet, I was very pleased to have soft lips during the wearing period and even after.

The only flaw I would say is I wished it had lasted longer. But I can't really complain about that because most long lasting lipstick or very drying to the lips and leave the feeling sticky and dry.

I would give this product a 4.5  out of 5 stars in my book. It has nice color selection ad love that tha colors are vibrant and the application is the actual color. That is huge thing in my book. One application should be the color not after six time reapplying. Anyways you can find the lipstick I think at Target and places like CVS and Walgreens.

For the price it worth a try. :)

Until another day toodles!
