February is for lovers!

Hi everyone!  My name is Lisa Rini & I am so thrilled to be part of the Venture Out family.  The fact that having met such great people involved in this publication, through Facebook, is just amazing to me.  I guess there's something very positive to be said about the "Social Networking" thing!!

A little about me....
I'm one month shy of 46, married to my high school sweetheart.  We'll be married 23 years in March and have 2 beautiful daughters, Stephanie, 18 & Jaclyn, 17.  I live on Long Island & love it.  An hour from Manhattan, an hour and a half from the East End wineries & 15 minutes from Jones Beach.  What better location than that?  All conducive to my favorite things....shopping, wine and sun & sand! 

It seems I've always had an interest in beauty, hair, make-up, what girl doesn't???  One evening about 6 years ago my girlfriend invited me to a Mary Kay party.  I was in desperate need of a foundation that covered all my sins.  That said, I became a consultant.  I love their products & skin care system.  Of which I will write of quite often to introduce to all their amazing products.  Also with the opportunity to try them through me.

Having also an interest in fitness, like others I joined and cancelled many gym memberships.  About a year ago, a girlfriend, wanted me to join Lucille Roberts to attend, if nothing else their Zumba classes.  A year later.....I'm addicted!!! Yoga, Pilates and Zumba!

With a love for feeling & looking good, I hope to pass on my personal information, thoughts and knowledge on these topics.

As we enter my favorite month, February, my birthday month, we also celebrate Heart Healthy month, Valentine's Day,  as well as chilling temperatures.  What do we think of when we think of our Valentine??  Kissing!!! 
During the winter months, our lips get chapped, dry & peel.  One way to eleviate that is to exfoliate them.  Also a great way to age defy!

You can do that very easily with a soft toothbrush, (designate a special one for your lips).  Ever so   gently, rub your lips for a few seconds with a dot of toothpaste on the brush.  Rinse your lips and then apply a thin coat of Vaseline when you are through.  Doing this once a week will keep your lips free of dry skin.  If you are looking for a product that does the same thing, Mary Kay has an amazing product in Satin Lips (c) Set.  It buffs away the dry skin, then moisturizes.  I am a religious user of this product, it also keeps your lip gloss or lipstick on longer.  I am obsessed with lip gloss!!!

So to celebrate Valentine's Day, treat your valentine to some super soft lips!!

Thanks for welcoming me to this great publication.  Like I told a friend, "I'm just a regular chick who enjoys feeling good and looking my best (at least most of the time)!!!"

Hopefully you will enjoy reading my ideas, suggestions and advice on looking good, feeling good & just having fun!!!
Till next month.....keep smiling!!!
Lisa
