One of my favorite days of spring is St. Paddy's Day! With the fun festivities and green beer, what's not to like?! Aveda's Autumn/Winter makeup collection Sublime Spirit has the perfect shade of green eyeshadow, Green Sencha, to wear tomorrow so you don't get pinched! I love pairing it with the Night Ivy eyeliner to create a deeper, smokey eye great for going out. So don't forget your green tomorrow and have a Happy St. Paddy's Day!
I AM...Going Natural

Now I am not saying 'going natural' as in no longer keeping up with your good hygiene (nobody likes a stinky friend) but more so as in going natural with your hair and makeup routine. This coming spring, trade in your heavier foundation for Aveda's tinted moisturizer with built in SPF 15. It has the perfect sheer coverage for an all natural look you want. Highlight your lovely lashes with a dark brown mascara such as Aveda's Mosscara in the color Earth for a softer eye followed with Aveda's Lip Saver which is my favorite moisturizing lip balm.
On to those locks. If you are looking for an effortless hair style and color that looks like you simply have done nothing but be the fabulous person you are try a rooty-ombre. It is stylish, chic and low maintenance which is perfect when going for a natural look and with Aveda's products formulated from plant derived ingredients, being natural is second nature!
I AM...Ready for the Weekend

My better known title is Weekend Warrior because I am living for the weekends full of adventure, tranquility and honestly, some peace and quiet. Here are a few tips for a weekend full of wellness and stress-free living to re-energize yourself for the upcoming workweek:
Good morning sunshine! Nothing wakes you up like waking with the sun and doing some light yoga. Yoga not your thing? Don't sweat it, use Aveda's Rosemary Mint hand/body wash to awaken your senses.
Morning meditation is something I love to do to calm anxiety and nervousness to help start your weekend in the right place. Try it with a Chakra sensory journey to stay balance (for more information visit http://www.aveda.com/products/5228/Collections/ChakraTM/index.tmpl)
Eat a healthy breakfast! Nothing fuels you for a day of adventure like a healthy breakfast. I personally love green smoothies in the morning because they can be taken on the go!
Final step to a great start for your weekend? StressFix Pure-fume yourself down to help keep you relaxed and calm all day, and weekend, long! With aromas of lavendin, lavender and clary sage you will smell as good as you'll feel.
So join me Weekend Warriors this weekend on treating yourself with a weekend of wellness and tranquility, you deserve it!
