Beauty Game Changers

March 9

beautygamechangers

I have to say that beauty game changers make life easier. When I need to get out the door because I’m already late. They make doing my makeup and skincare routine easier. I love products that come thru and keep a girl put together. Do you have any beauty game changers?

  1. Pixie Eyebrow Gel and Pencil is absolutely some of the best eyebrow gel I’ve ever tried and it keeps my eyebrows in place and they don’t rub off or get disorderly. It’s better than the Smashbox Eyebrow Tech combination I’ve used for years.
  2. RMCA No Color Powder is a game changer for sure. I’ve had the same shaker bottle for at least 4 years. I ordered from RCMA at the recommendation of Goss Makeup Artist and recently he just did another video about how awesome it is. It sets my makeup doesn’t change the color of my foundation. I don’t get an orange glow. I mean you wouldn’t expect this type of quality from a seasoning bottle full of powder. The bottle looks like seasoning salt. I hacked mine and put tape across half of the shaker holes. This keeps just enough flowing for my needs.
  3. Vaseline Coco Butter is an Oldie but goodie, but something about that coco makes it everything. I use it to moisturize my lips before I apply my lipstick. It absolutely gets the job done and I don’t have a need to buy a more expensive lip moisturizer.
  4. Clinique Even Better Essence Lotion this yet another beauty game changer that I wish I had known about sooner. I’m a Clinque girl and I will not ever  never ever be without my beloved Clinique Even Better Essence Lotion. I was lucky enough to pick this up at TJ Maxx for $15 bucks. I feel like there is some magical fairies inside this bottle. It makes my skin soft and plump like a babies bottom. I’m telling you this is the truth and go get you some.

There are no words to describe my love for my Mama There are no words to describe my love for my Mama fully. She was my biggest fan, my greatest supporter, and the one who helped me navigate life through its many ups and downs. She prayed for me, encouraged me, and always believed in me, even when I doubted myself.

I owe her my life's work and every accolade I've achieved. She saw me through undergrad, guided me as I navigated Corporate America—even though she had never experienced it herself—and kept me grounded through it all. 

She prayed with me in moments of joy and in times of need. She stood proudly by my side on my wedding day and cried with me through some of the most challenging moments of my life.

My mom saved my life in more ways than I can count. Her love and guidance shaped the person I am today, and her passing has forever changed me.

On November 26, 2024, Esther Gleaton went home to be with her ancestors. I find comfort in knowing she is finally at rest, free from pain, and in eternal peace. 

My mother bravely faced a short but aggressive battle with Plasma Cell Leukemia, spending 72 days fighting inpatient at the Northside Hospital Cancer Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. She fought with courage, grace, and incredible strength.

In sickness and health, my father, Orbie Gleaton, was by her side daily. He saw her through the very dark days and celebrated the joyful moments with her. 

His love and devotion to my mom never wavered—he never left her side. The love they shared is eternal and serves as a beautiful testament to the bond they built together.

Mama, your love will guide me forever. You are my heart, and I will carry you with me always.

Angela, Orbie, Carla, Carmelia & Amelia we will take care of Daddy. 🤍🕊️ #Multiplemyeloma #cancersucks  #plasmacellleukemia

As we proceed (God is doing a great work)
Is that this work
Did not begin with you (God is doing a great work)
Our mothers' mothers 
And fathers' fathers 
Planted seeds
When we were but the faint notion of a dream 
In their mind
They hope for a harvest a legacy, a great work
So make your next step forward
Help us to connect the dots and see
"Wherever you go in this world you will never be a "Wherever you go in this world you will never be alone. You carry with you the hopes and prayers of the ancestors. There will be days in this life when you feel alone, but know that the ancestors are with you. When you go for that job interview remember that you are carrying the ancestors with you. Everyone who has ever cared for and prayed for you goes with you when you are alone. Some of those people will never get to have your experiences or go in those boardrooms, but you carry them with you. You are the manifestation of an impossible dream - through middle passage, slavery, reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregation, civil rights - they believed that it was possible. My sister(s) you will never be alone because we all go with you."— Maya Angelou
