Donnas Beauty Tip to Get Rid of Cold Sores

Donnas Beauty Tips on cold sores

It is important to keep the skin clear for many reasons but it is especially important for me as a personality in the entertainment industry and always essential that I have flawless looking skin however this is not always possible especially when it comes to cold sores.

One of the most annoying things on the planet is a cold sore eruption. I have experienced these pesky ugly sores since I can remember. I often struggled to keep them at bay. If you ask anyone who get them they will tell you that they are hard to cover with make-up which may even make them look worse when piled on. Additionally, cold sores carry around a bad stigma.

I was always embarrassed by my breakouts and worse it always seemed like they’d come when I was stressed out or before a period or anticipation of an important event adding insult to injury.

As a result, I’ve tried everything available and found that my favorite and most effective discovery is a product called Dynamiclear antiviral that I want to share with you.

 

When I first tried it I was skeptical and only got a one dose application. Much to my surprise it worked better than anything I had tried in the past! I then went back and ordered a whole bottle with 100 applications to have on hand for any future cold sore breakouts.

I apply this product when I feel a tingle.

The product direction says it works best when the blister is there. It is true when the sore has fluid it works best but I use it both ways.I find that the healing time is much shorter with this product than with others I’ve tried in the past.  In addition, the breakouts seem less severe and easier to camouflage when using this produce.

The only place I have seen it is on the internet

Gud is Definitely Something to Smile About

 

My good friend let me try Gud  Hand Cream and Gud Foaming Hand Wash! I loved it!! First of all, it is made by Burt’s Bees which I adore all their products and second, it is not tested on animals.  Have you ever watched the movie “Legally Blonde goes to Washington”?  It is so sad that some companies test there products on animals but not Gud from Burt’s Bees. Gud’s Pearanormal Hand Cream is all natural and has a fresh pear smell which was not overwhelming!  I have very sensitive skin, so there are a lot of hand creams I cannot use because I break out with a rash. Gud Hand Cream has no parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, or perfume dyes – It is all natural!

The Gud Foaming Hand Wash is sitting on my bathroom counter matching my pink bathroom tiles looking pretty!  The hand wash is another product that I have to watch out for so I do not break out with a rash on my skin. Gud Hand Wash has no parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, or perfume dyes – it too is all natural and perfect for my skin!  It lathers up quickly and feels so good on my hands while I rinse with water.  My favorite scent is Floral Cherrynova which is cherry blossom & almond milk. My mom not only loves the fact that we found a product I can use without breaking out but that Gud from Burt’s Bees collection are MADE IN THE USA. Gud is definetly something to smile about :).

Necklace Saver came to my Rescue

Lhome-necklace-saver2

While packing my suitcase to take a well deserved vacation after the hectic holiday, I organized my necklaces with my planned outfits for the trip. I placed each jewelry piece in a Ziploc bag and placed  them in a pocket in my carry-on bag. Reaching my destination, I unpack my items to realize my jewelry pieces were tangled.  I did not have the time to spend untwisting my necklaces… let me remind  you…I was on vacation!!!!!  When I returned home, I set some time aside to find a solution to my problem, and I did!!!!

The Necklace  Saver was the answer to my problem. The Neckace Saver keeps necklaces tangle free for “on the go” and organized at home without taking up extra space!  The necklace tree and the jewelry box is not something I want to display, besides, they take up too much space.  Besides, I never know which piece of jewelry is in which jewelry box.

The Necklace Saver aims to solve all of my problems. It keeps necklaces from tangling and twisting with the others. It takes up very little space in my suitcase and my drawers. Most important, it is made from organza with iridescent pastel colors that are pretty, yet see through so you can easily pick out the necklace you are looking for with ease. The Necklace Saver is quick and easy to use with its uniquely designed, patent pending sleeve – unclasp the necklace and hold the top end.  Hold open the mouth of the  Necklace Saver and insert necklace into the tube.  Grasp other end of necklace at the bottom end of tube, bring two ends together and clasp necklace closed. Tie the ends of the Necklace Saver together.

The  Necklace Saver comes in 3 widths and 2 lengths, so you will be able to accommodate all of your necklaces and bracelets!  Yes, I use them for my clasp bracelets too!!!!  I absolutely LOVE this product !!!! While keeping my jewelry pieces well organized and tangled free, I am also supporting a good cause!   Part of the profits from Necklace Saver are donated to orphanages around the world!!!

70th Annual Golden Globes of 2013

Just when you think the stars can’t shine anymore, they keep coming around the corner.  The gowns keep flowing, the jewelry continues to shine, and the hairstyles keep turning heads. With help from NEW Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion hair products, designer and “Fashion Star” mentor Nicole Richie dazzled the red carpet with her show stopping curls.

Here’s how Suave Professionals® Stylist, Jenny Cho, created Nicole’s red carpet look: · Wash hair with New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, and then blow dry hair using a large paddle brush. · Part hair on the side and begin curling with a one-inch barrel curling iron. Be sure to hold the curling barrel horizontal to the head. · After curling each section, use bobby pins to hold in place. · Blast hair all over with a hot dryer for 1-2 minutes to help set the curls. · Remove the bobby pins, lightly brush the hair to soften curls and finish with Suave Professionals® Touchable Finish Super Hold Hairspray. · Place 1-2 drops of the New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in palms and rub hands together. Avoiding the roots, gently run hands over the surface of the hair to add a radiant shine. · Place the Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in your clutch for touchups on the go.

 

Nicole also has a few tips that she can always count on to help shine on the carpet – or just a night on the town! · Identify your top feature and play it up – know your body and what silhouettes work for you. · With both makeup and accessories – focus on one bold item. For example, when doing a deep lip, leave eyes bare, or if wearing a statement necklace, keep the earrings simple. · Whether she’s doing an up ‘do or down and sleek for her hairstyle, she always goes for shine on the carpet. Her go-to product is the NEW Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil for brilliant, lightweight conditioning.
