If you saw my guest post on Heart Shaped Sweat, you know that I am crazy about a makeup primer. This is a relatively new find for me, but I love it. By using a makeup primer, my makeup stays put ALL DAY with barely any touch ups. Plus the primer (combined with my mattifying lotion) drastically cuts down on shine. Adding a makeup primer to my daily routine has been terrific, especially on Sundays. I get up quite early on Sunday mornings (4:45 a.m. to be exact) and my makeup still looks flawless by 5 p.m.  Click here to purchase the primer I use and be sure to click this link to read my full thoughts on the primer.

Send a letter via USPS more often. Raise your hand if you like receiving mail that isn't a bill, an ad or junk mail? Keep your hand raised if you love Christmastime and all of the fab Christmas cards you receive from friends and family? Yep - I see you all and my hand is still raised too. In this extremely digital world we live in, written cards and letters have drastically diminished. It takes only a few minutes to write a sweet note to a friend or family member and tell them that you love them. And when they check their mailbox, I guarantee they will flash a smile when they see your thoughtful card in their stack with bills and other items that they just want to trash. So go ahead, write a thinking of you card, send a thank you note, send a Valentine via USPS. It will make someone's day.
