February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

WORK out: 5 Items That Should Be in your Makeup Bag for the Office


5 Items That Should Be in your Makeup Bag for the OfficeYou know what they say–another day, another dollar. Alongside another chance to make a solid impression while at work. When working in an office, being professional is certainly key. Makeup may or may not be a part of your morning routine while getting ready for work, but if it is, there are certainly some essentials that you should have with you in your office makeup bag later for touch-ups and such.

I am a fan of a neutral, yet fabulous face while at the workplace. That means light to medium makeup with subtle hues and perhaps a hint or pop of color on the lips. I do believe that a bold red lip has a place in the office alongside a neutral and natural looking face. Too much color can be the wrong type of look while in a professional work environment.

I also believe in making sure you have the right tools in your arsenal, aka, makeup bag. For long days at the office that include business meetings, luncheons, and other happening, being able to keep your look throughout your day is a must. And in doing so, there are items you must have with you that will help you maintain your fabulosity while getting the job done.

Here are my 5 Items That Should Be in your Office Makeup Bag:

1. Blotting papers

If you have combination or oily skin, by lunchtime, your face may be an oily mess. Remedy this by using oil blotting papers which will absorb the oil and give you a more finished appearance. You also want to use this before you apply any additional face powder to minimize shine.

2. Lip color

Even the best tested lip color may wear after time, especially after a meal or a few drinks of coffee. Make sure to add the lip color of the day to your purse, and reapply when needed. This will keep your look on point throughout the day.

3. Face powder

Applying a little face powder to minimize shine and update your makeup look is a good idea. You should only have to do this one, twice during the workday at the most. This will eliminate shine and give a continued flawless appearance.

4. Compact mirror

Having a compact mirror at your desk will help you make sure your look is complete (i.e., there’s no food in your teeth or any smudging).

5. Travel size perfume

Just two sprays of your perfume to update your scent is all you need. A little goes a long way, and can take you from work to a dinner date or get together after.

You don’t have a massive makeup arsenal to look your best, but it is nice to have a few key tools to help you stay polished while at work. These are my 5 must-haves while in the office. What are yours?

    I totally agree! I tried to combine powder and blotting papers with some powder-papers, but they just didn’t do the trick for me.
    This list is perfect. I tried to think of what I would add or take away, but I couldn’t think of anything.
    I love those little rollerball scent applicators for travel. I buy mine at Ulta because they have such a good selection.

      Anne, thanks for commenting. A little makeup can go a long way, especially in the office. And yes, I love those rollerball scents—perfect for travel even since they fit the required carry-on size, usually. I also tend to save samples for travel as well since they are small and able to pack. 🙂
