I hope life is treating you well. We just had a horrible hurricane pass through, thankfully it just missed my area but there are so many other areas south of me that weren't so lucky. My prayers are out for all the families to have a quick recovery.

Today's episode is about staying the course, and to continue to keep fighting the good fight when things get tough. You have to psyche yourself out to stay strong. Your mindset is going to help push you through. Staying motivated is a toughie. In order for you to reach your big goals, you're going to have to stay the course and reach the finish line. Each time you do, it'll get you that much closer to reaching your dreams.

We all need some motivation from time-to-time and I hope to inspire you a little in this podcast.

So grab your buds, grab a notebook to take down any ah-ha moments and I'll see you inside .

Dishing Love,

Dawn-Marie

Secondhand clothing shouldn't be looked down upon. There are so many items out there to choose from. Think about consignment shops, flea markets, yard sales, stoop sales or your local Salvation Army or Good Will stores.

Think twice before you purchase something new, try on a find at your local store and save yourself tons of money. Heck, you can probably buy a whole wardrobe with what you'd pay for in a retail store.

Happy shopping!!

Love,

Dawn-Marie

A study done by the University of Michigan showed that men stared at women wearing red lip color 7.3 seconds vs. 2.2 seconds with those wearing no lip color?

Lipstick has been around for thousands of years, they've done everything from using crushed gemstones in Mesopotamia, even crushed bugs (thank goodness we've since evolved).

The first lipstick company was made in 1884 by Guerlain (one of my faves). They even have a lipstick called Kiss Kiss Gold & Diamond which costs a hefty $62,000. You read that right! And, in 2015 MAC cosmetics raised $380 million dollars with their Viva Glam fundraiser for aids. That's a lot of lipsticks being sold!

What I love most about lipstick is that it's one of the quickest ways to brighten your face, make you feel refreshed and feeling great!

Why not make a lip color your go-to for branding your business? Why not find some creative ways you can incorporate lip colors into your daily life. Think about Jennifer Lopez, she's made her mark with her nude glossy lips or Madonna with her vibrant Red lips.

There's also a video for this episode so be sure to go to the YouTube channel - Dish it With Dawn and check it out there.

In the meantime, here are some of my favorite go-to lip lines that I fancy. Try one today and be sure to take a selfie and use hashtag #nationallipstickday and #dishitwithdawn so that I can check it out.

As a makeup artist, one of the most important things is to be sure that you are wearing the correct color for your skin temperature. If you're a cool you want to wear more berries, purples and fuchsias. If you're a warm temperature you can go with Corals, Golds, Peachy glosses and you look great in nude glosses.

Here are some of my favorites:

Clinique Almost Lipcolor in Black Honey

Pat Mcgrath Labs Red Fantasy Lip Trio - Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Lip Liner

Estee Lauder Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lip Pencil Apple Cordial

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, Famous Red

Guerlain Rouge G Jewel Lipstick Compact, 68 Gigi

BOBBI BROWN Lip Color Raisin

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color, Cranberry

Bobbi Brown Sweet Indulgences Mini Gloss Set, 4 Count

Wet n Wild MegaSlicks Lip Gloss Red Red Sensation

And don't forget to protect and care for your lips, teeth and face and keep them looking healthy and look more youthful in the process:

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Water Resistant and Non-Greasy Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 70

Crest 3D Whitestrips, Professional Effects, Teeth Whitening Strip Kit

All Natural, Vegan Coconut Lip Scrub - Gentle Exfoliation, Lip Polish & Lip Exfoliator
