Spa Sonic is a Shower Lover’s Dream

Spa Sonic Skin Care System Face & Body Polisher - 7 Piece Professional Kit, White- 1 ea

If you haven’t tried a Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System then you definitely must!!!! This is a device you can actually take with you in the bath or shower because it is waterproof. The Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System is a dermatologist recommended device designed  to cleanse smooth, exfoliate, buff and cleanse your body. The 4 attachments that are included with the system are amazing. The attachments easily clip on and off the device so you are able to use all of the 4 attachments if you choose, during your shower, bath or right at the sink. The battery (batteries included) operated  Spa Sonic really does kick cleansing up a notch.

Try using the Large Brush when showering. The brush is designed to buff your entire body. Simply apply a soap or body wash to your body (I apply body wash right on the brush head) and using circular motions, buff away! The large brush is softer than a wash cloth and a loofah and feels soothing on your skin.

The Pumice attachment works beautifully after drying up.  The Pumice buffs the rough spots right out AND efficiently exfoliates rough skin cells and reduces calluses. The pumice stone can be used on any rough parts of the body such as knees, elbows and heels.

The small facial brush is made of soft bristles and is perfect for sensitive skin.  If you have a favorite exfoliater product,  use it in conjunction with the brush and smooth away using a circular motion.

I love the facial sponge, it’s the perfect microdermabrasion tool. You use this attachment to gently massage your skin. The sponge helps your skin absorb your skin care products while reducing fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots.  If you have large pores, this sponge will help with that too. After exfoliation and/or cleansing simply dip the sponge into your favorite skin care product and apply. It sounds like a lot of information but once you use the Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System one time it won’t seem complicated at all. The attachments are easy to clean and conveniently stores in a drawstring tote included with the system. The tote also make the Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System  easy to travel with, anywhere, anytime.

Beautiful skin is just a “tub” away

Lotion, lotion and more lotion!! This winter it seems that the use of lotion has increased. With snowy winter & even here in Florida with the humidty, skin gets extremely dehydrated. With MIO Future Proof Active Body Butter dehydration is no more!

MIO Future Proof

MIO Future Proof

Future Proof is made with free-radical fighting antioxidants, oils and vitamins. These help aid in giving off strong, smooth firm skin while giving off a beautiful glow. I find the best places to apply it are on your heels, your legs after you shave and your elbows. If you apply here right after you get out of the shower, then the moisture will set into the skin leaving it velvety soft. Nothing feels better than having smooth beautiful skin. This thick, rich lotion not only makes your skin feel great but will give off a long lasting scent. Smells amazing!

Workout swipes

Workout swipes

Not only does MIO carry body loving products but also sweat wipes that are perfect for your gym bag, school bag etc. MIO Clean Slate workout wipes are free of parabens, synthetic fragrances and glycols. Clean slates help aid in banishing post gym breakouts. So next time you tend to “smell” yourself and it may not be the best check out those wipes. For more info on MIO check out mioskincare.com

Phyto-C ‘s Signature anti-aging cream offers a natural option for botox to achieve a firmer looking skin

Phyto-C's Signature -$240

Phyto-C’s Signature -$240

With advancements in the technology of skin care products, we’ve been provided with a splendid opportunity to maintain a healthier and more youthful appearance as we age.

Phyto-C’s Signature is a great example of one of those innovative products. Signature presents a “natural alternative to Botox.”

This powerful anti-aging cream’s significant focal point is IMPA™ Complex with the following primary benefits:
• Stimulation of cell to cell interactions and an acceleration of cell renewal.
• Helps preserve cellular energy, assists in the formulation of collagen, and strengthens in structural proteins.
• Decreases the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin imperfections.
• Regenerates the skin’s ability to retain moisture, enhances skin elasticity, and tightens and firms the skin.
• Brightens and improves the skin tone.
• Enhances skin smoothness and radiance.

If you’re looking for an anti-aging treatment with quick results and prefer not to have injections, Phyto-C’s Signature may be just the product you are looking for.

I used Signature for about five weeks. I have a very small line across my forehead that would always appear more noticeable when wearing makeup, and especially when making certain facial expressions. The other day, while out, I looked at my forehead and was surprised to see that it looked very smooth with my makeup on. I later checked when I took my makeup off, and I must say the line was barely noticeable to me. What great results!

The Phyto-C Mission Statement is: Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and the first part of you that touches the rest of the world. And so, it’s both your touchstone and your first defense. Phyto-C understands the importance of your skin, and we know you need to care for your skin as well as you would any other part of your body.

Spring Into Action

Spring has sprung Spring is here and let me tell you, I have never appreciated Spring more since I’ve moved from California. It’s time to shake off those Winter blues and spring into action.
Spring comes with cleaning, washing the windows, the walls, cleaning out closets and putting away all those dreadful winter clothes. Did you know you are burning calories while you are doing those things? You are, if you are doing them with gusto! While washing those windows/walls if you are extending those arms all the way up and you are on your tip toes and putting a little elbow grease into it, you are working that upper body. Also, when you come down and add a little squat you are hitting that lower body, a full body workout all while making your house Spring clean!

spring picture NL
Spring time is when you start thinking about, getting ready for your bathing suit. So of course, you start working out and go on that strict diet but there are many other things you can do to get ready for that bikini. Here are a few tips to get you on your way:
Clean out your refrigerator/cupboards, throw away all those goodies that were soothing while being stuck in the house watching TV sitting in front of the fireplace. You don’t need any temptation. Fill your refrigerator with greens, fruits and things that are good for you.
Update your workout wardrobe, get some bright colors, new styles and some new shoes it will give you a little more pep in your step.

Gardening
Enjoy the beautiful weather, get outside. Of course, we think of getting your walk on or taking a jog, but there are other ways to get that heart rate up. Washing your car, cutting the grass, planting in your garden, pulling those weeds are just a few things you can do to burn calories and enjoy the wonderful spring weather.

Family walking Spring Blog
So, just enjoy life and this beautiful spring weather, get outside and play with the kids in the park, walk the dog, join a tennis club, play basketball…you get it, just get out and play. Spring into action and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Treat your eyes like “Gold”faden

The eyes are the windows to the soul. But when eyes are tired it can get a little “foggy”. In a world where technology is the center of our lives and business even looking at screens can cause it too. With Goldfaden MD Bright Eyes you can clear your windows in as little as 1-2 weeks. It could not have come a t a better time in my life.

Goldfaden MD bright eyes formula will help to decrease the appearance of fine line, dark circles and will reduce puffiness. I know from working on a computer for 8-9 hours a day by the end I’d be surprised if they weren’t puffy lol. Also, being deprived of sleep does not help either. It seems that no matter how much water I drink they just don’t seem to go away. Goldfaden is helpful with all skin types even sensitive skin. All products are gluten, paraben, Petrochemical, alcohol and silicone free. I swear I would not know what I would do without it. ( a video on the product will be filmed and airing soon)

Goldfaden was created by Dr. Gary Goldfaden, M.D., a practicing dermatologist. He has been practicing in South Florida for over 40 years with one sole purpose “My ultimate goal is to let people have a relatively simple skincare regimen that is both preventative and restorative.” He has many more products to choose from. For more info on all the Goldfaden products visit www.goldfaden.com
