People are always under-estimating the utter beauty of the States between the East and West coasts. Wisconsin borders the Great Lakes that lie between the U.S. and Canada.

Tea Love: Jasmine
Jasmine tea, by apemal
Jasmine tea can take a little getting used to – it’s one of those slightly more artisanal flavors that the average person whose tea consumption is largely Starbucks wouldn’t normally pursue. It’s very mild in the mouth, but the the note that stays is a distinct if light floral taste, which can take a second of adjustment for us Americans whose palates are acclimated to either black tea or the very bold floral flavors. I initially didn’t like Jasmine, but what I found is that I love it iced, because the floral is delicate and refreshing, but find it too grassy when hot. And because it has such a unique flavor, I find myself craving it on certain days, and no other tea will do.
I like Lupicia’s Jasmine and Jasmine Mandarin tea, and this is a simple tea recipe from Martha Stewart using Jasmine and maple syrup –

The 12 Makeup Products You Need
(photo credit Essiebutton, one of my favorite makeup vloggers)
In my opinion, the only things you actually need as far as makeup goes are blush, lipstick,and concealer. Start there and you’ll be more than fine; you’ve added color to your cheeks and lips and covered up the most obvious problem for most women, which is under-eye shadow.
Beyond that, here’s a whole host of other things, and it occurred to me today to sit down and actually make a list of the products for different parts of the face that contribute to a full makeup “look”. It’s bewildering for makeup newbies, all the references to what may seem like dozens of products – which do you actually need? What’s the full lineup?

Beauty Review: Korres Wild Rose Brightening Sleeping Facial
This has slowly, over time, become my favorite face moisturizer, beating out Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, which I used for two years. My skin is dry but also acne-prone, and I’ve found myself craving an intensely light moisturizer that was still strong enough to make my skin feel protected and moisturized. I tried ten or so over time and fell in love with this one the instant I used it.
