I booked my next monthly facial (all part of my year-long plan) and a massage at my local Massage Envy. If you haven't been to one of their locations then you are missing out!

Cold Weather Skin Remedies with Masque Bar Masks
Source: Victoria Mason Now that January has come and gone we realize oh wait, there is still more winter. That means dry skin and the need for cold weather skin remedies with Masque Bar Masks. I'm a little obsessed with sheet masks, I'll admit it. It's cool. It's not like I have a problem or anything. I only hoard them like most parent horde Halloween candy. So I was super excited when Look Beauty sent me two packs, with three masks per pack of their Lemon Sheet Mask and their Honey Sheet Mask. Each one goes on your clean skin for 20-30 minutes and then is easily peeled off revealing their individual results. Both the lemon and the honey are great for dull or dry winter skin. Though I believe if you have sensitive skin the lemon sheet mask might be a tad too strong. The scent … [Read more...]

Talking with Very Busy Mama
Today I would like to introduce to María José from Very Busy Mama. She's an IRL friend and bilingual blogger, spokesperson and actress with a killer sense of style and humor. To say she is authentic or real doesn't do her justice. Her videos are informative, funny and honest. Once you read her you won't be able to stop. She's the newest person in TMC's interview series. 1. Your blog, Very Busy Mama, focuses on motherhood, fashion, beauty, and family all with a dose of humor.

Glow and Go!
I know it cannot be just me that got to a certain age and suddenly became a wee bit obsessed over removing dead skin cells. It's not like it is a hobby of mine but I am definitely more interested in renewing my complexion now more than I was two years ago. I've even considered laser treatment in the last six months. Shhhh... Being short on time and in need of a small refresh I was into the idea of Ren Clean Skincare Glow and Go. It's a great way to end your summer and head into fall. The little duo gives summer skin a nice bright bump in the glow department. Comprised of two products, Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial and the Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask (buy them together or separate) the set is good for alternating products throughout the week. Flash Rinse 1 Minute … [Read more...]
Share-A-Haircut for Back to School
August means our thoughts momentarily turn away from the summer fun and think, "Back to school!" Buying new clothes, school supplies and for many a hair cut is needed. I know it is true in my house. We like to start the year off fresh and newly trimmed locks gives us that feeling when compiled with our new boxes of crayons and backpacks. I'm so excited to be teaming up with Hair Cuttery again to help them celebrate 2015 being their 16th anniversary of the Share-A-Haircut program. How does it work? Simply put, every child 18 and under who comes in between August 1-15 who purchases a haircut at one of Hair Cuttery's almost 900 salons, like my Fifth Element did, will have one FREE haircut certificate donated to an underprivileged child in their own community. I love that last … [Read more...]
Lip Service
My grandmother was never one to leave the house without a swipe of lipstick. A watermelon pink was her shade of choice. Hey! Guess what? That color is back again. I have vivid memories of her standing in front of the mirror in her pink and black tiled bathroom applying it just so and then giving me a swipe, because why not? Did you know that July 29 is National Lipstick Day? Of course it is! Donuts have a day so why not lipstick! I'm in love with these gorgeous summery shades right now. Though my tried and true that I wear all year round is an Armani lipstick in nude (#27) which is no longer being made. When it is done, it is done. I don't even want to think about that day. National Lipstick Day by victoriamason featuring nars cosmetics What's your favorite … [Read more...]
