When it comes to Beauty hacks, I'm sure many of you ladies rarely learned much from your father's. That's just not on the top of their lists of things to do when it comes to raising their daughter's. Now, please note I never said never, because there are fathers who do know a thing or two when it comes to the beauty department. And in today's post, I'm sharing with you one of the top beauty hacks of the trade that I learned through my dad's job! No, he was not a musician (by trade haha) as he was a talented one, but by day he was a carpenter. Think paint, think DIY, think easy. Continue reading to learn more about this quick and simple beauty hack using one of Johnson & Johnson's most popular beauty items of all time: Baby oil

I used to join my father to work sometimes on weekends when I was younger to help out and while doing so I learned a few tricks in carpentry along the way. Out of the many jobs he did, he was mostly specialized in painting. And one of the beauty hacks I learned very early on was how to get paint off of your skin. A common trait from a carpenter, sometimes my dad would come home from work looking like a ghost! But after discovering Johnson & Johnson Baby oil, it was the only oil my father used to remove paint from his skin. And it works like a charm! Keep scrolling to check out photos. 

In my spare time, when I'm not up to my knees at work, I love to hang out on my rooftop tanning during the summer and creating art of any kind. It doesn't have to be an utter masterpiece. The process helps clear my head on top of achieving a glowing tan :) And I don't know about you guys, but I've always been accident-prone! I'll spill red wine if I wear white, trip over my own feet and you can bet that if I'm painting, I'll be sure to get some on me... no matter how hard I try not to! Thank goodness for Johnson & Johnson's baby oils. The oil is super gentle on the skin and is the perfect beauty hack to remove wall paint from your skin. 

What is your #1 beauty hack that most people may not know about? I'd love to hear them down in the comments section! You can find Johnson & Johnson Baby products at your local Walmart, and more of me on my Instagram and Facebook pages! Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

And to all my dog lovers, Happy Tongue Out Tuesday! This is from one of our many outtakes - I'd normally pick a more smiley picture of my handsome fella, but this is too good. What a face! Looks like someone is getting ready for their closeup. ;)

I'm really digging this lipstick I've been wearing from NARS. The color is called Greta and it's the perfect pop of pink for the Fall! The rich pigmentation and luxurious texture looks and feels great! And it's long lasting which is always a good thing for a gal who's running around. I love me some soft lips! Ha ha!

A few of weeks ago, a Joey Ramone mural was created on Bowery St. across the street from the famous CBGB rock club, here in New York City. Of course, maQ and I had to check it out! We decided it would be fun to incorporate an OOTD with this spectacular mural.

The story behind the boxing gloves is its symbolism to The Ramone's relentless struggle before really making it big and ultimately becoming who they became to be. Solus and John (Crash) Matos, the artists behind this inspiring piece, left me in awe of their art and their message, to never stop believing in yourself and to keep going. Never give up what you want!

Thanks for stopping by to see us and Joey! We'll be back with some more graffiti soon! And remember, always kick ass! Because you're amazing! Peace.

First and foremost, I have to mention (to my horror) what I woke up to today. You see, I have a ritual. Every morning, I have a cup of coffee while watching CNN. I like to know what's going on in the world. Well, it's a sad day in TV news. I woke up and saw the breaking news of photographer, Adam Ward, and reporter, Alison Parker, from the WDBJ7 TV station in Virgina, shot killed while reporting a story at a water park All of this happened while filming live. So awful. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone at the station as well as their families and loved ones through this difficult time. I don't need to go into how terrible this is, because who needs to read the obvious? I will state this though: We're with you #WDBJ. Keep broadcasting. Keep filming. Keep writing.

In light of this dark news, here is something to cheer you up and make your day a little more colorful. Perhaps, brighter. Or more stripy :)

Want to hear a pretty dope name? At least to me it is. Chamberlin Newsome. She's a street artist // graffiti extraordinaire! A graffiti art lover myself, maQ and I had to get down to the Lower East Side and check out her most recent work! And of course, get in some shots of this gorgeous piece! I see inspirations of Modernism, Abstract, Expressionism, Color Field Painting -- Chamberlin's art utilizes color, repetition, and linear form; and this #makeyougodream piece is pure wall porn! Two thumbs up, Chamberlin!

Check out the photos below. Photo credit goes out to my awesome hubby, Gilles Decamps. :)

We hope everyone has an awesome Hump Day! Remember, the only thing to fear, is fear itself.
