A Beauty Do and Don’t Interview with my Tween and Giveaway

Giveaway Ended

It is 105 today in Richmond, and while going to the pool is an option, my daughter and I decided to stay in the air conditioning and have a summer beauty heart-to-heart.

We decided to document this in an interview style so she can come back to this for reference and comparison in years to come. I am sure both of our opinions on do’s and don’ts will change dramatically. Her questions are marked in purple!
Best Fashion tips at the beaches:†While I do not go shopping each year for a new supply of swimwear I do find it important to have two good fitting suits that you can interchange to create different looks. †Also, If you have hair long enough to fit in a pony tail, do so, otherwise you will have fly-away unmanageable hair by the end of the day. †Also try to keep your toes nicely pedicured!

Would you rather have a Bikini or Tankini and why?


That is a great question and it really depends on what I am doing that day. If I plan on being in the water with your brothers or doing water sports, a Tankini is preferable. †Don’t want to have a wardrobe foul while at the beach. †When traveling with Dad, I like the idea of a bikini and remembering my younger days!! Wear them while you can is my attitude!

Would you rather hang out at the pool or beach?
This is a tough answer. Since we don’t have a beach we can visit regularly, I do enjoy spending time there when given the opportunity. †Bring some baby powder to get that stubborn sand off you though!  Enjoy a nice cushioned seat at the pool for a break while at the beach!

Try not to bury yourself in the beach to stay cool, leave that to the boys.

This is a great question and I’m glad you are asking me at a young age. It is so important to have a quality razor like Venus Embrace†that will help you avoid cutting your legs and leaving scars. †It has a soft grip handle for great control which is very helpful, especially as you learn to shave. †With interchangeable razor blade refills, these are much better than the disposable razors I grew up with.
Please don’t use soap and water or shampoo, something I did when I started shaving. You can go use my†Satin Care Passionista Fruit Shave Gel to help provide a smooth shaving surface! †Great fruity smell too! Venus has some great tips for moms of first-time shavers over here.

Now here is a beauty tip for my readers.
