This month I was going to give you suggestions about stuff that is good for your health but instead, I will save that one and talk about three things I love that are completely frivolous. 

Not everyone likes makeup, perfume or cares about flattering yoga pants. I get it! Fashion and adornment are not everyone’s cup of tea and there are more important things in life for sure. Less is more in most cases… but everyone has a personal style and in the yoga philosophy I studied, these ideas of personal self expression were about how you felt on the inside being manifest on the outside. I remember going to India in 2011 and wearing a saree. There, the mantra is more is more and you dress to embody the goddess. Read more about a tantric yoga philosophy and vanity pride and style here.

Anyway – I like a little bling so here are some of my favorite things this month.

  • Hollywood Flawless Filter. I use this with a tinted sunscreen ( a tiny bit goes a long way) on my cheek bones, above the eyebrow, forehead, nose. Just a touch and blend with your finger. I don’t use it everyday, but at night it gives a little life to your skin and makes it glow without sparkles.
  • Black Orchid Eau de Parfum. This fragrance is not for the faint of heart but again, a little goes a long way and glamour is not quiet!   I love it for an evening out which is one of the only times I wear perfume. This lovely woman on youtube describes it well in this video – Black Orchid is pick number two.
  • Flared yoga pants. Ok – so these are not really glamorous but I am loving them this month and they are on sale. These will not be everyones style, but I like them. I got a size large and since I have short legs and I wanted to wear them like the model in the picture ( who has long legs!) they hemmed them for me for free at Simons. 

What type of thing do you love to bring a little glam into your life?
