Love, Laughter & Lipstick with LaKita

Today marks the 2-month anniversary since my sweet Ron went home to be with the Lord. I miss him so much. Words can’t properly express the pain of losing him.

So, since 'National Lash Day' is coming in a couple of days, let's look at how to build (and keep) your lashes healthy and looking great.  When it came to eyelashes, I was lucky. My lashes were naturally long and thick. But in my early twenty's, I wanted them longer and thicker. I worked for a local cable company, and I had a co-worker, Gina, who was about my age and wore long, thick false lashes. At that time, lashes were nowhere near as popular as they are now. If you wore long false lashes, you got a lot of attention. Some of that attention may have been unwanted but you got a lot of it anyway. However, special events (like a wedding) were exceptions.  Gina worked in th
