Makeup artist's worst nightmare! ...a cold sore!?!



Oh nooooooooo!

Got a frikkin' cold sore!?!?!

What a makeup artist to do when a cold sore pops out... out of nowhere!!!!

Seriously, how embarrassing.

Facing a client...an actor...a model...and applying their makeup all while this ginormous oozing creature staring right back at them at an extremely close distance...

Sigh

Amongst cold sore being the worse in my book, there are other things that are nightmares for makeup artists.  To name a few, there are sore throats, bad breath especially garlic breath, runny nose, watery eyes due to allergies, pinkeye (yah, this one's bad too), ginormous "about-to-pop-and-ooze-out-puss" kind of a pimple...just about all the disgusting things that appear on your face can be both extremely embarrassing and uncomfortable as you want to show that your hands and makeup are hygienic.

I have tried many ways to conceal, protect and heal this damn creature and nothing was up to par with what I wanted and how I wanted it to conceal.
I don't want this thing to be the centre of the attention!

I have found my answer!

The saviour!!!

Introducing...


Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch

This is it!!

What this lil' patch does is that it...

 Heals
 Conceals
 Protects
 Conceals
 Conceals
 and Conceals!!!
Have I mentioned it conceals?

W O W !

It sticks right over the sore, heals it while it's being protected from spreading it to others, and stops from burning and itching since it's not exposed to air!  
And get this! You can put concealer right over it so it won't make it worse and won't contaminate your makeup!  It's hidden!  It's concealed!  How amazing!!!

I swear! 
It's ALL that I wanted in a cold sore treatment!
The best one out there!

As a mommy too, I can cook and serve home cooked meals without feeling gross!  I won't have to worry about the chances of contaminating the food I make for my family :)

It's a must as a mommy and as a makeup artist!
I always have a pack of these in my medicine cabinet :)

Give it a try!

My first attempt at making KALE CHIPS! Woohoo! Delicious! & Kids approved :)



Kale chips were surprisingly delish!


This low-calorie snack is oven baked and is super high in minerals and vitamins.
Who knew you can make crispy chips out of vegetable leaves???
Super easy to make and super healthy...seriously, can't ask for a better snack for the whole family!

Kids approved?... YES!

My oldest one (11) loved it on the first try.
My youngest one (7) did not!
I tell the girls to always give another chance at tasting new food, so she tried it again once all the kale leaves were baked.
And guess what!
She loves it!
Her hand kept grabbing one right after another and, in a blink of an eye, they were all gone!
Ta da!

So would I make these again?
Absolutely!
