Chrishell Stause’s Blue Tie Dye Cover Up and Bikini

Selling Sunset Instagram Fashion

Chrishell Stause took to Instagram from Los Cabos, Mexico looking perfect AF in a blue tie dye cover up and bikini that costs around $25 for ALL THREE PIECES. Yes, you read that right. The bikini top, bottom and cover up all come as part of a pre-packaged set that totals only $25. So while I’m not sure I could pull this off quite as perfectly as Chrishell, it’s totally worth a try for the price.

8 Ways to Declare Your Financial Freedom When the Clock Strikes 55

Financial freedom over 50

Ladies, as we
celebrated the freedoms of our nation on July 4, I encourage you to look at how
to create financial freedom in your life.

Hold Tight and Focus on Your Foundational Values

Money is a tool to
be used creatively and constructively to build families and communities. Your
self-worth is not your net-worth, and defining success beyond your bank account
will provide you with true liberty.

Free yourself from
the binds of the cultural and media lies that “more is better,” or that “a
little more will fulfill me.”

Embrace Giving as a Vital Component of Financial Freedom

I still wrestle
with demons of “not having enough,” and probably always will. Material
pleasures tease us daily, but research continues to show that happiness is not
found in more stuff.

As I move towards
giving my time, talent, and treasure creatively, graciously, and extravagantly,
it frees me from the grip of materialism.

I encourage you
to explore the causes that are important, and create a plan that allows you to
give intentionally. Build margin into your resources to give when an unexpected
need arises in our families or community.

Find Freedom in Purchasing Soul Needs Instead of the Bondage of Consumptive
Ego Desires

Create a spending
plan that reflects purpose with your decisions. Talk with your spouse, partner,
or friends to get resourceful and creative ideas and to hold each other
accountable. Ego desires lead to insatiable overspending. Enjoy the freedom
within the safe spending boundaries that you create.

Use Your Home as a Savings Account Not an ATM

If you want to
buy a home, save or look at what you can tax efficiently liquidate in order to have
a generous down payment. Determine how much house is enough as you look at a
mortgage that combined with taxes and insurance is under 25% of your disposable
income.

Free yourself of
over-leveraged lives that wreak havoc when the economic season shifts. Know how
you want to use the equity in your home during the distribution season.

Do you want to
downsize and cash out? Is a reverse mortgage appropriate? Do you want to rent
rooms as part of a creative income stream?

Reconnect with Your Financial Tools

What do you have?
Where is it? How is it working for you or can you make changes with its’
structure in order to do so? Understand the costs associated with your assets
and make sure they are titled properly.

Look at
beneficiary designations on contractual products such as life insurance,
annuities, and IRAs, and make updates where warranted.

Actively Manage and Move to Minimize Debt

We cannot borrow
our way to prosperity. We have to establish a plan to pay off any consumer debt
that is holding us hostage.

In the fall
season of life, you do not want to be paying interest on consumer debt. If you
are in your “forever home,” do you want to get it paid off? What action steps
do you want to take?

Communicate with Concerned Parties

I know it can
feel daunting, but you should actively communicate with those who are a part of,
or may be affected by, your financial decisions. Asking questions or seeking
understanding involves risk.

Whether it is
with family members or your trusted advisors, make sure you feel heard, seek to
understand, and feel understood. Facing fears, embracing them, and getting the
support necessary will help you unfold into your potential.

As with other liberties,
we know it takes sacrifice, discipline, and lots of effort to maintain. What
are you willing to do to take an additional step forward with experiencing
financial freedom?

How often do
you wonder about your financial stability? Are you financially free? How do you
maintain it? What sacrifices do you make? Please share with our community and
let’s have a conversation!

The Best Waterproof Mascaras to Prevent Unsightly Raccoon Eyes

Smudged eye makeup is one of the most embarrassing beauty blunders to deal with, and whether you’re planning on watching a tear-jerker, attending an all-day music festival or are heading to a sweaty Soul Cycle session, opting for a quality waterproof mascara is your best bet when it comes to avoiding the dreaded raccoon eye look. I personally wear a waterproof formula every day—regardless of whether or not I foresee water, swear, raindrops, or runny eyes on the horizon for that day. Frankly, I find that they not only don’t end up under your eyes after a couple of hours, but they also tend to have a drier consistency which allows me to define, lengthen and sculpt my lashes without them becoming clumpy, spidery or overly separated.

In other words, waterproof mascaras tend to be more forgiving if you’re like me and love to apply layer upon layer to refine and customize your lash look (I call this the architecture lash method, by the way). Regardless of how much mascara you like to apply, waterproof formulas are essential to at least, have at your disposal when you know you’ll be in contact with moisture, tears or excess sweat—regardless of whether you choose to wear it every day or for those special occasions.

Weightless Body Lotions That Won’t Leave Skin Feeling Sticky

If ultra-rich body moisturizers tend to leave you feeling sticky and gross, you don’t have to resort to dry and flaky skin. No one wants to feel like their legs, arms, and torso have been drenched in slimy cream either, which means you’ll need a summer body lotion that’s ultra lightweight.

This is especially important if you plan on dabbling in the world of at-home self-tanning to feign a sunkissed glow. As a side note, failing to adequately moisturize your body post-self-tan (after you wait the 6-12 hours for the pigment to develop, that is) is one of the biggest culprits of the dreaded streaky look and uneven fading.

In fact, moisturizing daily can help extend the life of your tan significantly — not to mention preventing the orange-tinged lizard-skin effect from kicking in. Finding a lotion that’s hydrating enough to keep your skin supple and flake-free without being too emollient is key for preserving a faux tan, as too much oil can also help accelerate the fading process.

It’s surprisingly tricky to find a body moisturizer that strikes the perfect balance of offering enough hydration to keep skin supple without feeling heavy and just downright gross. Hence, we’ve done the work for you and rounded up a few of our favorite body lotions, mousses, oils, and creams that will deliver the surge of hydration your skin needs to feel polished without the excess grease.
