Makeup Brushes…Keep Them Clean!

Makeup Brushes…Keep Them Clean!

We all know how important it is to keep our face clean by cleansing it daily, preferably twice a day, but have you given much thought to your makeup brushes? Many people haven’t and that’s just scary!  When you start with a clean “palette” in the morning of freshly washed skin, but then turn around to use dirty makeup brushes, you are essentially putting dirt, oil and bacteria right back on your face. GROSS!

When you are faced with Acne

When you are faced with Acne

Grandma always said eating french fries caused my acne!

Let’s face it, acne is real and it can affect anyone!  Men, women, teens, acne is not just for the “chosen few”.  We can encounter acne at different seasons of our lives for various reasons.  Excess oil on our skin, dirty and clogged pores, stress, and yes, even hormones.  Fries…not so much.

We can’t always avoid an occasional pimple or a full blown breakout, but there are a few relatively simple tips that can help us to have our best, healthiest skin possible.  Disclaimer: Depending on the severity of your acne, you may need to consult a dermatologist.  The following tips are just that, helpful tips.

No Shame and No Regret

No Shame and No Regret

I was ready! I was pumped!

I was going to hike the volcano Pacaya just outside Antigua Guatemala with my son and daugher-in-law. Little did I know that I wasn’t as physically prepared to hike it at the speed of the guides as I should have been. You must know, I’m a little stubborn and I like doing things on my own terms and pace.

I was DETERMINED to walk up that volcano on my own two feet.

I mean, I had been going to the gym and walking (what I thought was a lot) to help get me prepared.
We got off the bus and all I needed was a quick potty break, a walking stick, and I could hit that trail running. Wrong. As we began the ascent I quickly realized running was not going to be feasible. No worries, I can walk. (more…)

Welcome to My Rustic Beauty

Welcome to My Rustic Beauty

Hi y’all!  Welcome to My Rustic Beauty.  I’m Debra Sue.  I absolutely love Jesus, my family, and having grown up in the country.  I have worn many hats as speech pathologist,  wife, mom, teacher, and entrepreneur!  I worked in education for 18 years, but now, because of SeneGence, makers of LipSense,  I am fortunate to get to  work from home, or wherever my travel pleasures take me!

I grew up in a small country/farming community of less than 500 people.  Our farm gave us most of what we needed to eat from our vegetable garden to our meat sources, chickens, pigs and cows.  It was a fabulous way to grow up and I miss small town living quite often.

I look forward to sharing my journey and adventures with you as I continue to live life to its fullest.  Life is short so let’s make every moment count.  Thanks for joining me!
