Leave a lasting impression with Tat2U cosmetics

With a new year making new decisions can be very exciting. From eating right, exersicing or even just how you do your makeup. With all the different makeup looks out there why not be daring and give them a try. This year make a daring impression that lasts with Tat2U Cosmetics. Tat2U is proudly made right here in the USA. It is a vegan friendly, paraben, gluten, and cruelty free makeup line that is made to act just like a tattoo, a lasting impression.

Tat2U is based here in Florida and encourages people to be themselves and not be afraid to take risks with their makeup. Even with products for your body Tat2U opened many makeup looks to me that I was afraid to try. For example, I have never liked my lips and wearing bright bold colors was always a no. But when I got to try their Poisonberry lipstick and hearts & flowers lip gloss I grew to love the look. Even their blue/black eye shadow in Rebel, Mascara and body ink pen I couldn’t stop! I swear it was like a makeup orgy had taken over my body! haha In my video I share more on the Tat2U products I got to try.

I can't use many makeup lines due to my sensitive skin and eyes but Tat2U is one of the few I can't live without! Be sure to visit www.tat2umakeup.com and subscribe to my channel at www.youtube/user/curlyglam for more!

Five Money Saving Home Decorating Tips for 2015

I love the fresh start that a new year brings. In my book, change is good and that includes altering your living environment, breathing new life into it. This year add, “home makeover” to your new year’s resolution list and make subtle changes turning a room from drab to fab quickly, setting the tone for a brilliant new year! Here are my top five money saving decorating tips for 2015

  1. This year take the time to go room by room and collect things that you don’t wear, use, or absolutely love and donate them to a local charity. Eliminate clutter from your countertops, cabinets, cupboards, and dressers by putting away what you don’t use on a daily basis. This simple task will easily change the look of any room without having to spend any money.
  1. The mantel is always the center of attention in a room. Instead of the traditional mirror, piece of artwork, or a family portrait try using three smaller works of art to create pattern and a new interesting focal point in your room.

  1. Change your accent color to give each room a renewed look. Start by finding a color that you love, then change out your accent pillows and accessories in the same color scheme to rejuvenate the look of your room. Purchase a colorful rug or runner, which can also help to anchor your space. Try painting your chairs and picture frames, or even swapping out the seating of your chairs. Don’t worry about having everything match exactly; it’s much more interesting to see a color in varying hues combined with pattern.
  1. Lighting is essential and it’s “the jewelry” for each room, yet it’s often given the least attention. It sets the tone for your space just as an invitation does to a party. Make your room more inviting by changing out a lampshade with a splash of color or pattern or replace a tired fixture with something new. You can also add dimmer switches to create mood lighting throughout your home.

  1. Add some plants to your space. You don’t have to have a green thumb to add some greenery to your room. Consider using succulents. They provide texture, color, and require very little maintenance. An occasional spritz of water will do. Consider using larger silk potted plants – they’re beautiful, realistic, and carefree. Plants bring new energy to a room and are often in decorative pots, adding both texture and a design element. Nature’s botanical color palette fits with any environment and offers an inexpensive way to create harmony in any room.

Make it your new year’s resolution to breathe new life into your home in 2015! After all, change is good.
