Grooming and Makeup session

It had been ages since I last went for a grooming class. This week as part of the activities to celebrate (Singapore Mom Bloggers)SMB turning 1 yrs old there was a workshop on grooming held at Style Essence. It felt like being transported back in time to when I was a teenager and learning how to dress up properly. I seldom use makeup and don’t really spend much time grooming myself being a busy mom of three. However as age is catching up on me it is important that I start taking better care of myself. This was a great opportunity for me to pick up some new tips and skills on self grooming.

The Mary Kay products that we used

During the workshop the facilitator Florinda introduced us to the wonders of Mary Kay’s products while she gave us tips on the following.

How to dress appropriately for your body shape
Which colors suit your skin tone – warm or cool colors or both.
What are the suitable hairstyles for your face shape
How to cleanse your face properly
How to put on makeup to enhance your look.

Teaching Notes

Through the workshop I got to know that warm colors suited me better and which type of clothes will look more flattering on me. I learned that I suited warm colors better and long hair suited me fine.

Learning how to cleanse your face.

During the hands on part Florida taught me how to cleanse my face properly with the proper motions. It was fun learning the steps and having hands on practice at the same time.

Applying on makeup

After our faces were properly cleansed it was time to put on the makeup. I chose purple eye shadow to compliment the outfit which I was wearing that day.

Weekend Reflections: Budding Flowers

Message about children

Life has changed a lot since the kids arrived. No doubt there has been constant changes and revisions to our lifestyles it certainly has been for the better. A lot of adjustments have been made over the years for our expanding family and it’s growing needs. There is rapid changes in the dynamics of the family as the kids grow and we age.

Like the flowers that I have been buying weekly, kids come in different shades with different personalities. Each of them with their unique qualities and charisma moving from a bud into full bloom as they pass through their childhood.

Whether the bud blossoms and blooms has to do with our careful nurturing and pruning. The correct amount of watering and fertilizer given will ensure that the flower will be able to come into full bloom and be it’s prettiest in time to come.

As a parent I hope to be able to be there to witness the kids blossoming and for them to come into their full potential when they become adults.
