COFFEE TALK WITH DESI #7

Hi everyone! I’m happy to be back with my Coffee Talk with Desi #7! I skipped last week, because I was in Key West for a wedding. I apologize for that, but I find that it’s hard to blog when I’m away from my house with the family. This week I received lots of blogging questions, which I’m always happy to answer. So let’s get started!

Hi Desiree! I love your collages and wanted to know if you can share how you make them? 

Thank you! I use Powerpoint to make them. It’s super easy to use. I just make sure to use photos with a white background for the collages and on occasion I will purchase a special font to use. You can find some pretty fonts here. Make sure to save the collage as a PNG to keep it crisp and clear.

I love your blog and look forward to reading it everyday! I especially love the newsletters you send out. How did you know what to write about when you first started blogging? 

Thank you for following along! I appreciate the support! Whenever I create a post I write about something I’m loving and when I partner with a brand, I always make sure that it’s something I would genuinely use or wear even if I wasn’t being paid. This helps to keep my blog authentic.

Desiree, I read in your first newsletter that you’re 46! I’m been looking for a skin care line to use and wanted to know what you use, or if you have any special secrets into keeping your skin looking great for your age.

Thank you! I searched for many years to find the best skin care for my sensitive skin. The search was arduous, until I was sent Colleen Rothschild’s most popular skin care products a few years ago. Then, I got to meet her in person and knew Colleen’s skin care was the best for me. I’ve been using her products ever since and my skin looks better than ever. The secret I can share is that I quit drinking caffeinated coffee, because I found out, by the grace of God, that is was causing me to breakout in a terrible rash. I also feel more refreshed when I keep myself hydrated. You can shop Colleen Rothschild skincare line here and make sure to check out the sale that’s going on right now.

Can you share some red dressy outfit ideas for Christmas day? I have a family party to attend and it’s always fancy. Thanks!

I’d love to! I actually ordered some red looks that should be arriving this week. Here are the things I ordered: red jumpsuit, red off the shoulder top, and red pants. I also linked more red styles I’m loving for you below.

I know you like to run and I’m thinking of getting back into running. What running shoe are you wearing?

I’m actually getting ready to order new running shoes and just found these that are for stability, which is what I wear. I love that these are so lightweight! Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for sending in your questions! I’m so happy to hear from you! In case you missed many if my previous Coffee Talks you can see them here. Have a blessed week! XO, Desiree
