DENIM THERAPY, The Official Denim Doctors

I found this great company, Denim Therapy http://denimtherapy.com .  I always found repairing jeans one of the hardest things to do.  I have broken more sewing needles trying to repair jeans, you can’t even imagine.  My children never cared for the way local tailors hemmed their jeans because they never look the same.  I did a slightly better job but still not good enough. Thank goodness for the Denim doctors. Denim Doctors will repair your favorite jeans and much more.   Beside repairing rips and holes in your favorite pair of jeans, they also work with zippers, maternity, monograms, hems and re-sizing.

Watch this video!   You will never repair another pair of jeans yourself again.

Did you ever feel stuck in your current “look”? When you buy makeup or clothes do you always get the same thing, only in a different brand? Do you ever see or know someone who always looks terrific, gets all those second glances, and you wonder why you blend into the crowd?

I’ve experienced all of the above throughout various stages in my life and now have found some great answers in Dimitri James new book, Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls: How to Turn Up the Heat and Add Sex Appeal to Everyday Situations!

Lip Bliss Lip Gloss Sends The Right Message

 

I found this unique and touching story on http://whatsyourvirtue.com/lipbliss/our-story/ and it reads as follows:

“In the beginning, there was a mother with a teen and preteen daughter. While on a shopping trip three years ago, she was made keenly aware of what beauty products were available to purchase. She was shocked at the explicit and suggestive names found on numerous brands of lip gloss. She didn’t feel it was appropriate for her 13 year old daughter to put such messaging in her pocket, let alone on her lips. The mother went home with no lip gloss, but with a strong desire to make a difference. After collaborating with her friends, an idea was born to create a lip gloss that would support a positive message, not only for her girls but for women everywhere”.

What’s Your Virtue, is a company founded by three friends who believe beauty starts from within. We want to remind all women of the simple and virtuous things in life. What better place to start than on your lips?

What’s Your Virtue has created a very special line of lip glosses for young girls and is widely popular with women of all ages.and young ladies and is called Lip Bliss.  Lip Bliss lip glosses are available in 6 vibrant colors and named after such virtues as Generosity, Wisdom, Kindmess, Devotion, Curisioty and Simplicity. I must admit, I have been using “Devotion” lip gloss and I am loving it.  It is very soft and silky on your lips and I like the faint flavor of pepermint.

Lip Bliss™ Lip Glosses contain castor, cranberry, safflower seed and peppermint oils to smooth and nurture your lips.  They also contain antioxidants, green tea and vitamin E for moisturizing.  Lip Bliss Lip Glosses are paraben free, gluten free and is not tested on animals.

Send a wonderful message and send it with Lip Bliss Lip Gloss http://whatsyourvirtue.com

Layla Nail Polish Is Truly Magnetic

Magnetic nail polish is the new thing! As soon as I put Layla Magnetic Nail Polish on I got so many compliments. Everyone asked how I did my nails! It’s so much fun and unique. It is so easy to apply and has a great result. The top of the cap has a magnet on it. Be sure to use the magnet as directed before your polish dries. The way you hold the magnet above your nail determines the pattern that you’ll get. Personally, I think this nail polish is a great buy because it only takes a few minutes but looks like it took hours to perfect. Check it out at www.ulta.com.

The Most Precious Serum is From L’Occitane Immortelle

 

Immortelle is a flower found on the Corsican lands. The beauty of Immortelle is that it has amazing longevity and doesn’t fade even after being picked and dried. As stated on L’Occitane’s website, “L’OCCITANE has extracted a precious essential oil from the Immortelle, which has anti-free radical and anti-wrinkle properties. The Immortelle collection offers a complete anti-aging solution for the face”.

Would you believe that the active ingredients in one jar of L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum is from more than 1000 Immortelle flowers. Once you start using this precious serum, you will be on the path to softer, beautiful and more youthful looking skin. L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum works to smooth out wrinkles and restore firmness to your skin. The active ingredients also help to produce, protect and repair collagen.

“Collagen exists naturally in your skin as a structural support. As you lose collagen throughout the aging process, your skin gets thinner, and wrinkles begin to set in [source: New Zealand Dermatological Society]. Furthermore, when collagen breaks down, your skin becomes weaker, and this can lead to sagging”. (see note below)

L’Occitane’ Immortelle Precious Serum is a light clear serum with a delightful scent. Only a small amount is needed to cover your entire face and neck. It is important to use this serum consistently and according to L’Occitane studies, wrinkles, even deep ones, were visibly reduced for 74% of women in only 4 weeks. Treat your skin with the most precious serum, L’Occitane Immortelle 

L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum  can be found at http://usa.loccitane.com

The Makeup Show in Orlando, Florida at The Peabody Hotel

In my opinion I would have to say that the Beauty Industry is the best industry to work in.  With so many different techniques, products to try, people to meet and places you can go, it’s no wonder us beauty fanatics are always so outgoing.  When I was at The Makeup Show in Orlando, Florida I got to meet celebrity makeup artist Tia Dantzler, known for her work with singer/actress Jennifer Hudson, and made many new contacts and friends. Rather than me tell you all about my experience, why don’t I show you…..
