Life-Lessons I Learned From Lipstick
And I need to tell my daughters.
I was close to 40 when I bought my first red lipstick. I had always thought it was just not for me, that I don’t need to show off.

I have three beautiful daughters. It’s great! But it is a huge responsibility to raise them as a single mum, and still teach them everything they need to hear from me. They should learn it the easy way.
Here’s the list of things I want to teach my daughters about life that I learned from using lipstick:
