Ocean Trails Reserve - Rancho Palos Verdes (Ocean views galore)

Ocean Trails Reserve - Palos Verdes                 By: Dahlia Acevedo Where has this Ocean trail been all my life?! I viewed several posts about the place, as well as photographs, which did not do this place justice at all! We are talking 360 beautiful views of the golf course (which runs parallel to the trail at first), gorgeous homes in the distance, the mountains, as well as constant ocean views. Let me just take a moment to comment on the color of the ocean (really colors), A deep blue with turquoise pools, crystal clear in spots, exposing the algae below (coastline). There are four paths, two that lead down to the beach area, which is completely covered in small, grayish white rocks. Making it totally unique and picturesque. I've never seen anything like it. I've  posted a picture of the awesome looking zig zag trail leading down to the beach. Once you descend, you will see the bottom half of the cliffs are covered in rolling green, gra...

Color Street Nail Polish Strips

I wasn't expecting to like Color Street Nail polish strips as much as I do. If you've never heard of Color Street, they consist of real nail polish in a dry strip form. They are long lasting, durable, and come in  many beautiful and fun designs, for all seasons. For a long period of time I couldn't live without going to the salon once every three weeks to a month, to get my nails done. At first I sported acrylics, then switched to gel nails. I was getting both a manicure and pedicure, throwing a lot of money away. Sure, I felt I deserved it, I work hard and wanted to pamper myself. Plus, I felt more feminine and attractive. Unfortunately my polish would start to chip off a couple days later, driving me absolutely batty! I felt the need to rush back to the salon to have them repair a nail or two, which would cost even more money. I finally just grew tired of it and stopped going to the salon. I felt happy, like I was saving money. Fast forward several years later, and I was ...

Jennifer Bradley, 4 in One Camera Ready Foundation

By Dahlia Acevedo I have started to like makeup for the first time in my life. In my twenties and thirties all I wore was eye shadow, mascara and lipstick. My skin was firm and soft looking. Once I turned forty I started to lose some of my natural coloring and looked older. I started to wear eyeliner and blush. Fast forward a few years, I noticed red patches or small bouts of acne have started to appear. And lately, as I approach  46, I have noticed more sun spots have appeared. Nothing I purchased worked to cover it all up. Foundations felt heavy, smelled funky, dried out my skin, caused me to break out, and made me look older! I was desperate for a good product. I kept seeing a video of Jennifer Bradley applying the 4 in 1 to her face after a chemical peal, as well as before and after photos of women who have experienced great results after using the product. I caved and purchased the foundation, even though I wouldn't normally spend so much on makeup. It turns out it was...
