Hi Guys. I hope everyone had a good week. Today I wanted to talk about mommy toddler stuff and the emotional roller coaster I've been on since moving to Washington State from Los Angeles on Nov. 15 2014.

On me this looks like a bright but wearable Fuchsia. It does leave an even stain behind on the lips as it fades so no need to worry about the dreaded lined lips look when it is gone....
