What are your top five beauty tips?

  1. Moisturize daily.
    I like to apply my lotion right after I step out of the shower, while my skin is still a little damp.

  2. Work with what you have.
    I think it's important to embrace my beauty marks, thinning eyebrows and eyelashes.

  3. Drink lots of water.
    I'm sure to drink 100 ounces of water each day!

  4. For me, less is more.
    Growing up with skin complexion problems, I learned early on that the less I put on my face, the better.

  5. Keep it simple and quick.
    Simple wash-and-wear hair with a quick makeup routine and I'm ready to go out the door.
