Tat Jacket for Your Priceless Art

By Lisa Gal

Why would you spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on artwork and then not protect it from harm? Tat Jacket’s got you covered. From immediate after care kits, to maintenance items like moisturizer, cleanser and sunscreen. Prevent the halo effect with their special Spot-on sunscreen applicator top and add a little shine with Tattoo Shine. Taking on a holistic approach Tat Jacket uses top-quality ingredients to keep your colors popping. I love the retro feel of the line and the fact that they sell concealer as well, for those days when you just want to go incognito. I am sure there will be many an Oscar nominee who could use this before their red carpet appearances this weekend. Lucky for them Hollywood Swag Bag’s got them covered and courtesy of the Four Seasons hotel, they will be receiving a set in their room when they arrive.

THE STYLIST: Odile Gilbert

HOW TO:

· Next, blow-dry the hair while combing through with your fingers.
· Spray Beach Blonde Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray and work in with hands while diffusing.
· Once all the hair is dry, take random pieces and curl them using a 1 ½ inch curling iron. Do not touch the roots or ends with the curling iron. For the waves to look natural, run your fingers through them at the end.

A Few of My Favorite Things

From working out 6 days a week my body needs some TLC and here are my top 3 favorite things this week.
all 3

Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution

epson salt Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution is a must have. I work out 6 days a week my body is always sore, so I have always had that box of Epsom salt under my sink. Soaking my tired, achy muscles was just part of my regiment but I must say from the moment I opened up the bag of Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Relax and Relief the scent of mint filled the bathroom and my mood instantly shifted. I took a deep breath and smiled, it was no longer just my traditional Epsom Salt soaking, I have now entered my own personal spa. The aroma is so relaxing and once you slip into that hot tub you are in heaven. My muscles was so relaxed and my skin felt so smooth, I enjoyed my “me” time and look forward to my next spa date.

Dr. Teal’s can be found at Walmart.

EB5 Facial Treatment

eb5 This product has that good old fashion wrinkle cream feel that your mother use to use. It goes on smooth, it feels so creamy and thick, a little goes a long way. Just dap a little on your face and neck and you will know that EB5 is filled with anti-aging benefits for the modern day women. It contains many vitamins and soothing Comfrey root. You know I am the natural girl so it is important to me that this product is paraben-free, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and cruelty-free. Go get your jar today and reduce those wrinkles and fine line, restore moisture to dry aging skin. What are you waiting for? eb5.com

Josie Maran Coconut Water Eye Shadow

eye shadow Ladies, this eye shadow makes your eyes look and feels hydrated instantly. All you have to do is dap a tinge on your eyelids and then use your finger tips to smudge into the place you want. I loved the way my eyes had that shine, that beautiful pop. Absolutely refreshing! This is truly a must have, Josie Maran Coconut Water eye shadow is a staple in my makeup bag and it should be in yours too!    Josie Maran Cosmetics can be found at Sephora and sephora.com

RumChata, the Party Starter

By Lisa Gal

RumChata is like the Caribbean in a glass. Made with Horchata and rum this liquor is perfect by itself or on the rocks. Horchata is made with dairy cream, rice, vanilla and cinnamon and is a very popular drink in the Hispanic community. Add the 5 times distilled Caribbean rum to Horchata and RumChata takes on the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal being eaten on the beach. Now we know why they also call it YumChata! Be sure to check out their website for recipes, the possibilities seem endless. Lucky are the Oscar nominees and talent staying at the Four Seasons Hotel this weekend, because they will be honored by Hollywood Swag Bag and will be receiving one in their room.
