Money may not grow on trees, but it may be piling up in your cabinet! I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one with mounds of unused products under the sink…After I settled on a dedicated beauty routine, I started to incorporate some of those unused products into the process. Sweet - more money in my pocket!
Another savings tip is to save packaging from new products being tested. Many stores provide money back guarantees. Don’t hesitate to take something back if it isn’t the right color, creates breakouts, dry skin, etc.! You paid too much for the product to let it not live up to the hype on the package. Don’t let those dollars dwindle away under the sink or worse yet – throw them in the garbage! At about $10 a pop, taking products back that don’t work can add up to real savings in your pocket!
I’ve noticed beauty is a continuous process that often requires some tweaking. While generally I defer to oil free combination skin products, this can deviate depending on several factors. Boy do I get irritated when I’ve committed to a routine that suddenly isn’t moisturizing adequately! However, skin is in a constant state of flux according to the season or that time of the month…Not to mention aging! Make adjustments as necessary, but don’t allow beauty companies to get richer while you get poorer!

You can call me Tranquil Beauty. After spending a good portion of my life being disillusioned by my mind, I’m finally on a path led by my true self. I'm here because I've been blessed by the wisdom of so many others who powerfully emulate what it means to live guided by their own purpose. I'm profoundly grateful to share the knowledge I’ve gained after being enlightened by Neale Donald Walsch, Rick Warren, Eckhart Tolle, and Shakti Gawain (to name only a few). I feel this wisdom has permeated my being and shifted my focus from the past and the limitations of my mind to a state of pure consciousness that seeks to honor my true self. I've been a personal development fanatic since 1999. Some books that have influenced the website include Friendship with God, The Purpose Driven Life, The Power of Now, A New Earth, and Creative Visualization.
My passion for beauty started at a very young age. Though primarily driven by personal struggles with fine curly hair and combination skin, my beauty expertise grew over the years from devouring numerous beauty publications and trying mounds of products. After wasting piles of money testing top of the line products, I've learned that expensive beauty products aren’t necessarily better products.
Making a commitment to realize your beauty inside and out is a choice each and every moment. I believe strongly that we all have an innate power to create fulfilling lives. I vow to accept nothing less for those who wish to join me on that journey!
