Makeup, Skincare & My Life

Join me in my foray in finding safe (nontoxic/or nearly so) beauty, makeup, skincare, & hair care. Finding safer alternative for the bad stuff, & what the bad can do to you. My journey to become healthier for my life, finding things such as Keto foods & such to eat rather than heavier options. I've lost 138lbs so far and I've got a lot to go after ballooning due to an invisible illness. Sharing what it's like to live with several invisible illnesses, & what its like when coming in contact with "the bad stuff", contaminants, irritants, etc, then what they can do to you. Finding & looking for mind blowing-awesome companies to work with that want to help my follower families, & myself be the best they can be!

Coco says “mama it’s bedtime” while my #restlesslegsyndrome #nervepain and everything else said she needed to hush. It could be a long night after I just had a horrible nightmare that made her come in here to check on me #PrincessCocoBeans #cats #cat #tuxedocat #adoptdontshop #nightnight #rescues #rescuefails https://www.instagram.com/p/CarGNDDrojd/?utm_medium=tumblr

#UPDATES #feralcat Peeps in #Arizona I HIGHLY suggest using Andy’s Plumbing in the #Phoenix valley!!! He installed my moms water heater about 2 months ago. When he got my plea 4 help, he drove all the way 2 my house 2 save the kitten then reinstalled the sink! He was kind and generous enough that he refused to let me pay him! We don’t have a lot of $, & he knew it. Saved everyone a lot of emotional & financial hurt! If u need a #plumber call him! #plumber #feralcat #cat #twitter #kittens #blackcats #instagram #avondaleaz (at Avondale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKbwXRVFQGN/?igshid=1piwj17v92sub

#twitter #Arizona #avondale I NEED HELP!! My autistic brother let in a feral cat last night which climbed on2 our cabinets, fell n2 the wall, got out, then ran n2 the bathroom where it’s wedged n our sink. I don’t know if he’s alive & have NO 1 2 #help save him My #mom is in her room on oxygen, & we have 2 other O2 tanks here. I’ve got #pneumonia & can barely bend down. I don’t think the #cat is #alive anymore. Can any1 help us?! Fire depot will not come, no neighbors 2 help! #cat #HELP #Arizona #avondale #twitter #instagram #kittens #feral #feralcatsofinstagram #avondaleaz #blackcats #animalcontrol I try to help ferals out like @feralcatcolony and @bethostern but I can never get any TNR agency to call me back to get the ferals desexed. I’ve been trying for years. And now instead of this new kitten getting help and possibly finding a home, they’re likely dead in my bathroom sink! #pleasehelp (at Avondale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKbPDtpFyEw/?igshid=1eeeiofzl2h0r

#update I was diagnosed w/ #COVID19 a few days ago after thinking my bad kidney infection spread 2 my lungs. Instead found out I have #covid I want 2 say that #covidsucks it’s a struggle 2 breathe. At the point that sitting up or standing up causes walls to spin, & I can’t breathe @ all. It helps 2 lay propped up on my side, but moving from 1 to the other side causes a coughing fit, which is so bad i cough up flecks of blood. my dad died of stage 4 lung cancer during during 🎄 2017. I spent a month in the hospital w/ him watching him die, & gasping for breath as he went hypoxic... now I’m pretty sure I’m close to knowing how he felt as he died. I busted my rear-end in efforts 2 keep from getting #COVID19. Wearing a mask in public places, staying @ least 6 feet from people, keeping hands clean, etc. yet I still got it. I don’t even know how it happened. #MaskUpAZ #MaskUp follow all guidelines, then make an effort to go above & beyond them! This is very painful and I wouldn’t subject anyone to it. #StaySafe @BdBLady #StayAtHome #bekind #BeKindToOneAnother #bekindtoanimals #twitter #instagram #chronicpain #Fibromyalgia #invisibleillness https://www.instagram.com/p/CJo6nYDFOQ8/?igshid=11xg5pu0xa63l

My little Apollo has been stuck in bed with me, refusing to leave my side. I’ve got a pretty bad kidney infection and 2-3 days ago I started coughing really bad. Now I’ve got chest pain that feels like a Vice is around my ribs. Contacted my dr hoping to get a script and she’s insisting I get tested for covid first. 🤦🏼‍♀️ made an appointment at urgent care for tomorrow afternoon. She’s insisting I quarantine in my room now. If I have it I’m curious when I got it because symptoms can develop anywhere from 2-10 days. Wish me luck, it’s taking about 48 hours or so to get results back. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZZuLmF0ss/?igshid=1msqxoaul1rab

I know that the shelters are full up over Christmas so anything you can share helps. #epilepsy #Fibromyalgia #homeless #arizona #degenerativediskdisease #diabetes #hypothyroidism #twitter #instagram #arizona https://www.instagram.com/p/CJKni_5FDyc/?igshid=1dahaahrmgm6t

I know I said been evicted a few days ago. I was. Tonight the psychotic little bastard that my mother adopted slammed his bipolar foot into my damaged, previously broken foot that always hurts like hell. Then proceeded to get in my face when I got onto his 13 to ass. I’ve been promised since august that she’d get him help. Instead her perfect little bastard can do no wrong. It’s the day before Christmas and thanks to him I’m out on the street, walking towards one of the few places that might get me help in the morning. She already evicted my PREGNANT little sister on the four year anniversary of our grandmas death, then handed her an eviction notice in the death anniversary of my DAD. I’ve brought nearly $20,000 in appliances into the house this year alone. DESPITE my epilepsy, Fibro and crushed back I’ve made sure a house of five is fed with help of the food bank. I OPENED up a credit card to try to help her with her car and instead she’s used to buy god knows what that I don’t know about. Every night I sit and scream myself horse when my #seizures start and #neuropathy kick in but I receive no help. I’ve been saying I’ll be read before next Christmas because my body can’t handle it. DIDNT realize that it just might be this Christmas. I couldn’t even get my money that’s owed to me so I could buy important things like pads, meds etc. #2020sucks #epilepsy #christmas #fibromyalgia #nightthoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/CJKjsxYlCtg/?igshid=1145n0zfvhsfg

Nothing like getting an eviction notice two weeks before your dads death anniversary. Especially when you’ve been bending over BACKWARDS to get the people you live with 20,000 in new appliances so they can have ac/heat, hot 🚿, a fixed stove & washer. Not to mention you’ve been busting your ass trying to find them a loan because they have a car that’s going to quit and even getting a CC so that they can pay to fix the car they had.  Fucking mind blown.  Far as I’m concerned I now have no living family. I know I’ve been sorta quite lately and have slowly been getting more active but I will probably be incommunicado until I find a place to live or get access to a shelter.

Rudy ❤️ His new treats to try! @mysmiley360 sent the #freesample box to us to play with to see if we liked it! Let him pick & wanted the Pacific Tuna recipe which he ate without me adding it to dog food or anything else. He’s so picky it’s not even funny. The fact that he ate this blew my mind! Can’t wait to see what else we can do! With #PurinaBeyond I'm mixing with purpose, and creating a healthy bowl that's just right for my dog! Save $4 on your Beyond® purchase and start mixing with purpose too! #ad https://bit.ly/beyondcoupon #dog #dogsofinstagram #seniordog #pickyeater #pics #review #instagram #smiley360mission #smiley360 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGP4ucWlkN1/?igshid=zx6x45iqde5c

I received the @influenster #garniergreenlabs #voxbox to try out for free and I’ve been having a blast with it! Inside was a watermelon extract milky wash, & a watermelon extract serum, broad spectrum spf moisturizer cream. For the face wash, I’ve found out that it’s gentle enough to use on the days that I don’t exfoliate. It seems like it does a bit of plumping to the skin as well, which I can’t complain! The moisturizing serum cream is just slightly on the heavy side for me, but using it sparingly makes it great before going outside. They both have watermelon extract in them, giving both a great, light scent, that doesn’t overpower, or irritate the skin. Would absolutely recommend both! #GarnierGreenLabs #GarnierSerumCream #complimentary @GarnierUSA #review #free #instagram #skincare #skincareroutine #skincareproducts https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKeSdHFsvO/?igshid=92dn8mx7seg

Another #lipstickandgo look! I’m actually getting ready to do some videos for something and thought I’d wear some #lipstick for it. This color is “Stephanie” by @bhcosmetics in their #liquidlinenlipstick line! What do you think? Tell me below! It goes on velvety smooth, and dries matte allowing for hours of wear if done right. #lipstickaddict #lipstickjunkie #lipsticklover #makeup #bhcosmetics #looks #review https://www.instagram.com/p/CGJP1w5FodW/?igshid=1awc0254vm9ki

@sudsandsuchva sent me a care package a little bit ago and this is what came in it! Remember everything they make is #organic & #made with #goatsmilk 2) full-size bars of #citrussplash #goatsmilksoap 2) full-size jars of lotion in #sweetorange & #coconut scents 2) #traveller bottles in the same scents. Both the 🧴 bottles and the #traveller 🧴 are a new type which they wanted me to give a go at. I love the new bottles both, they’re easy to open and fit snuggly into my fridge! Keeping them cool is NOT required, but inLOVE the cooling sensation that their lotion gets when I cold apply it to my face. Makes me skin feel fresh. The traveller bottles aren’t a new concept for them, but they changed the lids on them. This new kid has a little flip-spout that allows for controlled pouring, whereas the the other didn’t. Now you can just apply that dime size amount to get your face or hands thoroughly covered. The scents are great! They’re not overpowering, or feel chemically induced. They’re naturally derived extracts. Love that because this is one of the only 🧴 my skin can handle! You’ve all seen the 🧼 on my post before, this is their #citrussplash scent which has a bit of exfoliating bits in it! I’ve included pictures of it dry, wet, & on my face! It’s very gentle, while getting the dirt off. This scent is one I like to use when I’m seizing because it calms me down. Which very few things can do. Check these out are: www.the-goats-field.com The link is in my bio, and on the bio of @sudsandsuchva During the month of #october they are doing a 25% off sale! So take advantage and get your favorites!

@influenster and @bagelbites sent me a #voxbox with a coupon for one of their bagel bites boxes, and a new oven pad! Once I got this 40ct home, they didn’t even last 24 hours! My little brother cooked a tray and a half then ate them all! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Now he prefers the pepperoni, but I have trouble with meat on pizza so I got the cheese. They taste really good when you cook them in the oven, or convection oven, but if you microwave them, they taste totally different and not in the best way. So I utterly recommend baking them! Sadly, I didn’t even get to take a picture of the bagel bites cooked because they were eaten so fast, but I can tell you they come out bubbly n hot from the oven, you can’t wait to dig in either. Word of warning, let them sit 2-3 minutes or your burn your mouth! Now I’m pretty sure you can get these at any local grocery store, but just for reference, I got mine at Walmart. . . . #BagelBites #contest #complimentary @BagelBites @Influenster #voxbox #review https://www.instagram.com/p/CGD3e5-lSYl/?igshid=1pi5kook1b6sp
