I really enjoyed my vacation in Australia. It really has been a long time since I was Down Under (my last visit was in 1988). Of course this is a country so close to the equator that sunscreen is something paramount on most people's minds.
I just had the most wonderful week of vacation in sunny Australia (it is the middle of the summer there). It was really great to get out of the cold for a week. Sydney is a beautiful city. The wharf is amazing and the gardens are gorgeous.
I spent a lot of time out of doors and yes I was fully clothed at all times (I do not do the beach).
Let me preface by saying I am not a hair stylist. Yes I have managed and operated hair salons, in my career, but I am neither a colourist nor am I qualified to cut hair. I understand the language of hair stylists and I am always looking for quality hair products, so when I was sent a full set of the new Avon Advanced Techniques Professional Hair Colour I was very intrigued.

This past weekend I had the privilege of working with some very talented cosmetics professionals.

One topic that came up, more than once, was the difficulty in matching foundation shades for their clients.
Ok it is true—I have been MIA for a little while. Rest assured I am back now.
Truth is I have been working on a massive project about which I cannot yet tell you, yet. Very soon though I will be writing about an amazing new concept store that is opening in Canada. Oh no I have already said too much! Stay tuned to this blog to learn more in the coming weeks.
@jakewilton09 contacted me to ask: “What is a good moisturizer?”
While it seems to be a fairly simple question, the answer is a little more complex than just naming a brand of skin care to use. There are a lot of variables to consider when deciding on a skin care program:
