Put yourself on your “To Do List”

Looking for a way to offset all the damage you’re likely to do on Thanksgiving?   Elizabeth Morrell gives us more great tips on keeping fit, even during the holidays:

Ah, the famous “To Do List”.  I’m sure you have one.  I do. The holidays are upon us and it’s the time of year when we are rushing to do this, rushing to do that, and we have so much to do, our list is full.  Between the shopping, working, planning and entertaining, we forget to take care of ourselves.  Everyone else’s needs seem to come before ours. It is time to stop and put YOU on your “To Do List”!   Continue your shopping, get your work done, plan your holiday activities and entertain like no other but give yourself 30 minutes to an hour each day to get your heart pumping and reset your mind.

By getting your heart pumping (aka cardio) you will burn calories as well as decrease stress, increase your energy level, and release endorphins so you can do all the extra things this holiday season with a smile.

Here are a few quick ways you can get your heart pumping (cardio) at least 30 to 60 minutes a day (at least 3 times a week).

1.  Jump rope – 10 minutes of jumping rope equals 30 minutes of jogging (you know I do not jog!).

2. Hula hoop – You can Hula hoop for at least 30 minutes. If you can’t do it for that long, start out with 10 minute intervals and gradually increase to 30 minutes and then eventually to 60 minutes.

3. Boxing – If you have a punching bag, put on your gloves and beat it!  If you don’t, no worries, you can just shadow box. Get in front of the mirror and cross, jab, and hook yourself into a frenzy.  Go at it like you are in the boxing ring 3 minutes and break and go at it again.

Take time for yourself with a quick workout so that you can not only relieve stress, but give yourself more energy and turn your” To Do List” in to a done list!

American Music Awards hair how-tos

Each fall, the American Music Awards celebrates the latest and greatest talents of the contemporary music scene. And with award shows, comes great fashion & beauty – Jenny Balding, Cutler/Redken Stylist, shares two of her favorite looks from tonight’s 42nd Annual AMAs – Rita Ora & Julianne Hough:

Rita Ora

Rita Ora

Rita Ora

“Rita Ora has a slightly different take on a simple topknot. It’s all in the detail, which really gave this style an original edge – her undercut was a great point of difference from the back.” – Jenny Balding

To recreate this ultimate sleek topknot:

•Start by blow drying your hairline up and back to really help getting it smooth and sleek
•Use a sleek balm through the roots to tame and smooth the flyway’s. Cutler flyaway stick is the perfect product for this as the more you use the more it will hold and create sheen.
•Sweep into a really high ponytail that sits right on top of the crown.
•Use a straightening iron on the ponytail to create a super sleek finish.
•Mist each section first with a strong hold hairspray that won’t flake and delivers shine also. Redken Control Addict 28 is perfect for this
•Wrap around the base of the ponytail, section by section until the last section of hair leave about 2″ of hair out to create Rita’s topknot.
•Finish by misting Redken Diamond Oil High Shine Airy mist to achieve exceptional shine.

Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough

To recreate this slick back bob:

•Start by blow-drying all your hair back and off your face.
•Create a deep side part of whatever side that suits you best.
•Starting at the back use a gel that has hold and creates shine for best results.
•Take small sections at a time and apply the gel and comb through each section. Continue until you reach the front hairline a sweep back off your face also.
•It’s important to start at the back to make sure every strand is coated with gel to create the ultimate sleek style.

CeraVe…for the most sensitive of skin, even your baby

IMG_5325

I love creating gift baskets for all occassions. Rather than wrapping up a gift or just putting it in a  gift bag, I like presenting the recepient with one of my own creations. My cousin is having a baby girl so I decided to fill a basket with items that are fun and different. Of course, once I added a baby towel and washcloth among other things, I had to find the perfect bath products that would be healthy for a baby’s skin.

CeraVe has three baby products that added the perfect touch to my basket, CeraVe® Baby Moisturizing Lotion, CeraVe® Baby Wash & Shampoo and CeraVe® Baby Diaper Rash Cream.

CeraVe Baby was developed with pediatric dermatologists and all three products are formulated with 3 essential ceramides (ceramide 3, ceramide 6-II, ceramide 1) and  free of parabens and phthalates. CeraVe® Baby Moisturizing Lotion is perfect for protecting your baby’s skin from chaffing, cracking and drying.

I know my cousin will enjoying using CeraVe® Baby Wash & Shampoo. Her baby will smell fresh and clean will be left with beautifully soft skin. Knowing that there are no harmful ingredients in CeraVe is also a great relief. CeraVe® Baby Wash & Shampoo is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and dyes, so nothing is left behind but soft, clean, healthy skin and hair.

Let’s not forget the all important CeraVe® Baby Diaper Rash Cream. We all need some around the house especially with a new baby. CeraVe Diaper Rash Cream with be sure to  help treat and prevent diaper rash and help repair and restore baby’s delicate skin barrier. CeraVe Diaper Rash Cream is also fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. When thinking about baby’s healthy skin, think CeraVe.

Scalisi Skincare’s double duty Cleanser and Exfoliator will be your skin’s daily “best friend” !

We all know the importance of cleansing and caring for our skin. Yet, exfoliation, an essential step in our skin cleansing care regime is often overlooked. Exfoliating is a necessity in the cycle of skin renewal. It’s function is to eliminate the dead “top surface” skin cells so they can be replaced by fresh new cells.

Scalisi Skincare developed a solution for this problem with their Cleanser and Exfoliator!

SCALISI SKIN CARE Cleanser and Exfoliator Price $25

SCALISI SKIN CARE
Cleanser and Exfoliator • Price $25

This ideal cleanser from Scalisi Skincare not only gently cleans and exfoliates, but will hydrate your skin as well. The convenience is that it’s all in one tube, easy to use, and as mentioned on the packaging, “you’ll really look forward to using it each day.” I couldn’t agree more!

I had the opportunity to try Scalisi’s Cleanser and Exfoliator, and my skin felt wonderful! It’s a quick, easy and effective cleanser that will leave your skin feeling clean, hydrated, and looking radiant & healthy! I followed the easy instructions by applying and lightly massaging the product in circular motions on my dampened skin. I then removed it with warm water using a soft wash cloth.

Here are some of the FEATURES & BENEFITS:
• “Scalisi Skincare Cleanser and Exfoliator is formulated for ALL skin types”
• “It has time released vitamins A, C and E that nourish and help provide antioxidant protection”
• “Jojoba, Macadamia Nut, and Sunflower Oils are included to moisturize”

Along with Cleanser and Exfoliator, Scalisi Skincare also has a very nice array of products that provide a nice balanced regimen for your skin, including:
• “Anti-Aging Moisturizer”
• “Advanced Wrinkle Cream”
• and “Eye Cream”

I know you’ll enjoy Scalisi Skincare’s website: www.scalisiskincare.com
Here you’ll be able to purchase the Scalisi products and learn more about the company, product line, read some awesome reviews, and more.

If you’re near Scarsdale, New York, you’ll find Scalisi Skincare at :

I’d now like to introduce you to the woman behind Scalisi Skincare, Jill Scalisi:

“For twenty years; Jill Scalisi worked on Wall Street. After Jill received a diagnosis of skin cancer in 2008, she was and unable to find skin care products with SPF 30 that were proven, healthy, and anti-aging. As a result, Jill was able to bring about a whole new category in skin care by “partnering” with “top industry leaders in manufacturing and packaging” and bring into being Scalisi Skincare.”

Check out Jill’s blog at:http://abeautyfullthing.com/.

I’m delighted to give “Cleanser and Exfoliator” a 5-Star Review, and wish Jill ongoing success with Scalisi Skincare!
