Beauty, Babies and a Better You

The daughter of a beauty salesman, at a young age I entered the world of cosmetics by attending trade shows with my Father. It's interesting that at the age of 3 what excited me wasn't the lipsticks or blushes, but the trade show itself. The energy of people on a selling floor hoping to grow their businesses all within a matter of days. I was hooked! I really didn't have a love of makeup or skincare until late into High School. I began working at a small local shop which sold cosmetics, skincare and fragrances and knew then it was a passion I would later pursue. I went on to sell fragrances, skincare, even got into medical sales for a bit, but at the end of the day, I too followed in my Father's foot steps and became a salesperson. 

Now that some time has passed, I work in Corporate America, sales of course, but my greatest job is being a Mom and Wife. Being a Wife and a Mom to our daughter and two dogs has been so rewarding, however I do still yearn to educate those out there looking to know more about how to maintain or tackle skin problems as well as some of my new found accomplishments like all things Baby. 

This will serve as a place to tackle skincare, cosmetics, fragrance, home, baby, and just being a better version of ourselves. 

First things first. My absolute FAVORITE Product......Avene Thermal Spring Water. 

Now there's a story, and I feel I must share with you the legend of this amazing water. Avene is a small town in France, nowhere near Paris, but regardless it's a real place. A long time ago, legend has it that a man was taking his horse out to be shot because it had developed this terrible skin condition. The horse got away and later on was found, cured, drinking from the Avene Thermal Spring. 

Another story, more recent and true, was that when the Chicago Fire occurred back in  1871, France shipped the water to Chicago for the burn victims. 

So what makes this water so amazing? Well it has the perfect pH. And because of that, it was the perfect foundation to make a skincare line. And that's just what Pierre Fabre did. They have an entire line of products, all based off this perfect water. 

Now the water in itself is amazing. It can be used to tone, cleanse, set makeup, etc....it's safe for all ages. It comes in three sizes and is available all over, so depending on where you're from you may even find it in your nearest drug store. Also great to bring to the pool when you're getting some Vitamin D but I must advise you, DO NOT SHAKE THE CAN. The can will lose it's ability to spray out the water and one day you'll have a can full of water and no air to get it out.

So there it is, my first product recommendation and a little bit about me.
