Lauren Orlando

Lauren, tell us about your YouTube channel.

When I first started YouTube, most of the videos that I made were challenges with my brother and friends. Since then, I’ve started to focus more on making fashion, beauty and lifestyle content. I love YouTube because it lets me connect with supporters and gives me a chance to be creative in ways other that social media doesn’t.

How did it come about?

I made a YouTube channel after seeing how much fun my brother Johnny was having with his. We collaborated a lot in the beginning, which definitely helped me to build my subscriber base.

What is your favorite video from your channel?

I loved the smoothie challenge that I filmed with Johnny! Even though it was super gross to film, the video was hilarious.

What are your hobbies?

I like listening to music, watching Netflix, skiing and playing soccer.

Tell us about your upcoming projects.

I just announced that I will be the face of Mudd’s first-ever girls line this year, which is super exciting! I have some other projects in the works as well, but they’re secret for now.

We see that you travel a lot, do you have any traveling tips that make it funnier.

I love exploring the city that I’m visiting with my family. It’s always fun to have a group of people to travel with. My sisters and I also search up the best restaurants and stores in the city on Instagram and make sure we visit them.

What is your favorite food?

My favorite food is definitely chocolate. I love desserts!

What are your must have’s in your bag?  I always have lip balm with me.

Where is your favorite places to shop when in Los Angeles?

I love shopping at the Grove. My favorite stores are Top Shop and Brandy Melville.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

I’d live in Los Angeles because it’s sunny almost every day. There’s nothing better than that!

Do you have advice for anyone wanting to start a YouTube channel?

I’d tell them to go for it and not to worry about what anyone else thinks. Make content that you love and genuinely enjoy filming as well.

What are the pros and cons of having a YouTube channel?

There’s definitely more pros than cons. The best part about having a YouTube channel is being able to share myself and my life with the people who watch my videos. I try to be as real and genuine as possible and I feel like my viewers can really get to know me this way. One con is finding the time to come up with new ideas for content and to film and edit my videos. I always want to make sure that the things I post are good quality and that they’re fun and exciting to watch. Balancing YouTube and school can sometimes be a challenge for sure.

What is your favorite place to eat in Los Angeles?

My favorite restaurant in LA is Madeo, it’s an Italian restaurant in West Hollywood and has the most amazing pasta. I also love Chipotle, the best!!

Who do you look up to?

A celebrity that I look up to is Zendaya. I think that she’s such a good role model for girls, which is something that I strive to be as well.

Have you been bullied online and if so how do you deal with it?

I’ve definitely been bullied online. Some of the comments that people write on Instagram and YouTube are so mean! I usually deal with it by just ignoring it. Instead, I make sure that I surround myself with supportive and positive people who are there to help me reach my goals!

What Busy Moms Do To Stay Looking Glam

It’s not easy being a busy mother who has to try and do it all and take care of herself at the same time. You may look around at others and wonder how they do it. Luckily, there are tips and tricks for you to try that will help you feel your best and maintain a beauty routine that works for you.

Don’t let a busy schedule be an excuse for not attending to your needs any longer. It’s time to step up and take control of your life and make some real changes that will stick. Learn what busy moms do to stay looking glam, and you too can start feeling better about yourself in no time.

Always Make Time for Exercise

If there’s one habit, you need to get into it’s that you should exercise daily. Never skip working your mind and body with a good sweat session. Hit the gym, go for a run or walk during your lunch hour. Busy moms don’t let their schedule be an excuse for why they can’t workout. They make sure exercise is a part of their day no matter what. Either take a yoga class nearby or get a treadmill in your basement to use in the early morning or after work.

Attend to their Hair, Nails & Makeup

If there are any parts of your body that you should take care of regardless of how tired you are or where you’re going, it’s your hair, nails, and makeup. Find a trusted hair salon and stylist who knows exactly what kind of cut and color you need to look your best. It’s also a good idea to invest in some decent makeup that will brighten up your face. As for your nails, either paint them yourself at home or find a salon you like going to where they do a good job and have trendy colors in stock.

Have A Versatile Wardrobe & Go-to Outfits

What you wear matters, but it’s hard to think through outfits when you’re overtired and rushing to work. That’s why you need to plan ahead and come up with a wardrobe that’s easy, yet stylish. Have go-to outfits that are simple to maintain and different clothing pieces that you can mix and match. It’s also smart to wear garments that can be transformed from day to night in case you’re talked into cocktails or have a late dinner meeting.

Get their Beauty Sleep

Busy moms know their sleep comes first, and without it, they’re a mess. Go to bed at a decent hour and get up around the same time each day. This will help your body remain on a sleep schedule, and it’ll be easier to wake up in the morning. Also, take breaks and rest when you need it. Don’t try to power through your tasks when you’re low energy and could use a nap.

Conclusion

It’s good to be busy, but your demanding lifestyle will become an issue if you’re not taking care of yourself. Stay looking glam with these tips and continue to be the fantastic mom that you are. Your mood will be lifted, and you’ll look and feel fabulous. What more could you want?

Treadmill vs. Elliptical

When it comes to choosing between a treadmill and an elliptical it is important to know that you can see great overall results with both machines, but they both come with their own strengths and weaknesses. This also means that you will get the ability to choose a solution which is great for you but which might also need better overall understanding.

The strong points of the machines

The treadmill can be a good solution to burn calories at any age. Running is among the best activities for weight loss and it is also easy to perform for most people. With a profile of inclined running or walking and with many dedicated running programs to choose from, a treadmill can be one of the leading options of better fitness. In many cases, the treadmill can also be folded for storage and if you train at home, this can be a major advantage.

The elliptical machine (Drench – Elliptical Machines Under 300) is another great solution for weight loss. It works you entire body and for this reason, it can work great for calorie burning. Furthermore, it is also important to know that you can find great solutions when it comes to improved overall fitness with its various difficulty settings. As with the treadmill, you can also monitor your performance with time tracking or calorie tracking. Most modern machines will also come with included or added support for pulse readings.

The drawbacks of the machines

The treadmill can be a high impact solution, especially to your joints. It is here that most overweight people can suffer. Thus, it works among the great options when it comes to better overall results with weight loss but it also has a strong impact on the joint which can increase discomfort and inflammation. At the same time, it is also important to know that you can see great overall results when it comes to better simplicity but the main problem can come from the lack of support for the joints.

The elliptical can be better for overall posture but at the same time, it is not the best solution when it comes to improving the natural stride as the feet never leave the pedals. This is why it can be important to look for the solutions which allow you a good overall performance, especially in the conditions in which you want to stay away from possible injuries but it will not help you run better.

Seasonal Skincare


Your skincare routine should change with different seasons and climatic conditions. Altering your entire routine might be a big inconvenience, and this is why you need to keep the changes small and minor.

The changes you make to your routine will mainly involve these aspects:

  • Your cleansing method  – When transitioning from one season to another, you can choose to use two cleansers to make the change easier.
  • How you moisturize – In some seasons, you will need heavier cream, and in others, light lotions will be ideal.

This article will cover some important skin care tips for various climatic conditions.

Winter

Winter is an uncomfortable season for many people. The cold is extreme, the sidewalks are icy, and worst of all, your skin easily dries up. The cold and dry weather reduces your skin’s ability to hold moisture, so you might have to deal with dry skin often.

A good way to keep your skin moist is to use a skin cleanser. In cold weather, the skin does not produce as much sebum, and this is why it dries fast. The cleanser can combat this by protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. When moving to a colder region, you will have to shop for cream-based cleansers that don’t foam. Alternatively, you can go for oil-based skin products.

The best ingredients for winter skin cleansers are hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides, so be sure to look out for them.

You should use a vitamin C serum to reduce the loss of moisture from your skin. The products are made of small particles and are, therefore, very easily absorbed into the skin. Since they contain vitamin C, your skin will be able to maintain its elasticity and ability to synthesize collagen. It also helps to boost the skin’s immune system and correct the damage done by elements such as the cold weather.

It is equally important to increase your water intake in this weather.

Hot water is generally not good for the skin. In winter, hot water should especially be avoided since it will dehydrate the skin very fast. Hot water evaporates from the surface easily and, if you don’t moisturize immediately, you will experience winter’s itch and generally affect the state of your skin.

Finally, you should exfoliate less. This is because your skin will be compromised by the cold weather. If your skin is extremely dry, you should even avoid exfoliation entirely for the entire season.

Summer

In summer, your skin will be working to lower your overall temperature. For this reason, there will be a high production of skin oil. This means you will need to go for an oil-free skin moisturizer, ideally one with a minimum SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 30 for use during the day. To keep your lips in perfect condition, you should also use a lip balm with a high SPF.

It is good to spend some time in the sun; it even helps to supply your skin with vitamin D. However, staying in the harsh rays for too long can do more harm than good to your skin. If you want to bask in the sun’s rays, it is best to do it before 10 am or after 3 pm. Otherwise, the rays will be too harsh. You should also use protective sunglasses. These will protect the skin around your eyes.

You should also exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead and dulling skin debris. This will improve hydration of the skin and prevent congestion. This should be done in the morning before you apply any makeup, moisturizer, or toner. As an advantage, your makeup will last longer if you exfoliate your skin. After exfoliation, you should always apply a body cream to protect and moisturize the skin.

Sunscreen is also essential in this season. You should remember to apply enough sunscreen every two hours. For your face, you should use enough sunscreen to fill a teaspoon, and for your body, it should be enough to fill a glass. With these products, you should consider the condition of your skin and choose one that works well with it. For example, if your skin is sensitive and reactive, you can choose to use chemical-free sunscreens.

Autumn

Autumn is a good time to repair any skin damage from the sun, chlorine, and salt water of summer. The air gets drier and cooler in this season, so you need to moisturize your skin during the transition. This should be done every day to prevent your skin from peeling and chipping. The best time to do this is immediately after you have you have taken a shower.

With cool weather, you will need to switch from lotions to creams to maintain a strong oil barrier. This will help to keep your skin hydrated. It is important to note that many hand creams are scented. If you have sensitive skin, you should go for a fragrance-free product.

Additionally, you should consider getting oily based scrubs. These help with exfoliation and also hydrate your skin.

Spring

In spring, you should carry out gentle skin exfoliators on a regular basis. This will help to reverse the skin damage done in winter. Antioxidants are equally important for skincare in this season. These can be obtained from fresh fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants will protect your skin from damage by the sun’s UV rays.

As you transition from winter, your skin will be able to hold more moisture, meaning you will not necessarily need a heavy moisturizing cream. Instead, you should use a light moisturizer or lotion since your skin needs to breathe. You will also need to use a lip balm with sun protection as the lips are open to the sunrays.

Your skincare routine needs to be re-evaluated in every season. The main points to consider are the cleansing method and the moisturizing method. Transitioning from one season to another will also require you to change the skincare products you use. Follow the tips given in this article for a more efficient skincare routine. If your skin has undergone extensive damage in winter or summer, you should contact Dr. Robert Glasgold and Dr. Mark Glasgold on 732-846-6540 for a quick and reliable correcting procedure. They are highly rated facial and body cosmetic surgeons from Princeton, New Jersey.

natura brasil is beautiful skincare for all seasons

If you are not familiar with the skincare line natura Brasil, you certainly will be now. I am loving the skincare products, mainly their exfoliating soap and dry Body Oil. Of course, I always have to share my finding with my daughter and she is loving the restorative hair mask.

natura Brasil Skincare is not your average skincare and they make perfect gifts. Weather your skin is dry from the winter weather or dry from the hot summer sun, nutura Brasil has a skincare line that will satsify any skin concern any time of year.

The exfoliating soap is fabulous and both my husband and I use it. The Maracuja seeds found in the soap delivers a non abrasive, natural exfoliation and has a nice delicate fragrance. The exfoliating soaps are vegetable based soap made in the Amazon containing a blend of pure Brazilian oils including soothing Maracuja oil. This soap feels fabulous on your skin and the Vitamin E helps to keep your skin healthy and glowing.   Natura Brasil’s Expert Tip when using the soap:  Follow with Maracujá Triple Phase Shower Oil to lock in moisture.

View the collection of vegan soaps which are sustainably made in the Amazon: Castanha, Maracuja, Acai, Cacau and Copaiba at Natura Brasil
One of my favorites from the Natura Brasil skincare line is the Dry Body Oil. I absolutely love it.  I have never used a dry oil that quickly absorbs into the skin and dries so fast. Simply spritz the oil onto your skin (adding extra oil to really dry skin) and gently rub in the oil. The oil drys so fast you never feel oily or greasy and your skin will feel so soft immediately. It’s my favorite and I love using it. The Dry Body Oil is formulated with nourishing castanha oil from Brazil and natural almond, olive and borage oils.

Natura Brasil’s Expert Tip: Massage into cuticles to instantly soften them and to leave nails with a healthy sheen.

My daughter tells me the MURUMURU Reconstructive Hair Mask is “Awesome”.  She has very thick hair and the mask adds a softness to it making her hair feel silky and shiny. You only apply a small amount to clean wet hair, massage in and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing out. Gone are the days when hair masks need 15 to 20 minutes or longer to work their magic.

MURUMURU Reconstructive Hair Mask  helps repair dry, damaged and over processed hair. It is also perfect for textured or curly hair. It is formulated with Brazilian murumuru butter to deeply penetrate and repair hair fibers and sealing split ends.

nutra Brasil Skincare is formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petroleum, triclosan, DEA and animal ingredients.    naturabrasil.com

Natura’s mission, since 1969,  has been to help build a better world through our commitment to transparency, sustainability and well-being.

Contemplating Plastic Surgery Overseas? Here’s What You Need to Know

According to The International Medical Travel Journal, some of the top destinations for medical tourism include Malaysia, Germany, the UK, Greece, India, and Spain, but other nations top the list when it comes to cosmetic procedures, in particular. For plastic surgery overseas, Brazil, Thailand and Malaysia take the top spots.  To ensure you’ll receive the safest care when getting plastic surgery overseas, stick with the countries that have been ranked as the best for their hospitals and facilities, as well as their medical professionals.

The Top Countries for Plastic Surgery Procedures

Malaysia won the IMTJ Medical Travel Award for Destination of the Year in 2016, as well as the award for International Cosmetic Surgery Clinic of the Year. The country treats more than half a million people from other nations, thanks to its low costs and modern infrastructure. In fact, the infrastructure in Malaysia is considered better than what’s found in places like India, and English is also spoken more widely in Malaysia than in other Asian countries like Thailand.
Brazil comes in second in the world, after the United States, in terms of the number of cosmetic procedures performed annually, and Rio de Janeiro is considered the “World Capital of Plastic Surgery.” The country is known for its innovations within the field of high quality cosmetic procedures, as well as its protocols to ensure patient safety. You can find highly trained doctors and JCI-accredited hospitals, and your procedures could cost substantially less than what you would pay in Western nations.
Thailand is a country where medical tourism is growing every year, and you can expect to receive a variety of high quality treatments and plastic surgeries at more affordable rates than you can get elsewhere. Plus, a lot of the medical professionals in Thailand were trained in Western nations and speak English well. Experts recommend heading to Bangkok to access the top doctors and the best care in the country.

The Benefits of Medical Tourism

The benefits of medical tourism can be substantial, particularly when you take the appropriate steps to prepare for your trip and the care you’ll receive abroad.
  • One of the main benefits of getting plastic surgery overseas is getting high-quality medical procedures you need at a lower price. This is actually the number one reason why so many people are choosing to go abroad, as you can save anywhere from 30-80% when compared to the costs you’d incur in a country like the U.S. Even when you factor in the costs of travel, medical tourism might be the most affordable option.
  • Most health insurance won’t cover plastic surgery, so medical tourism can give you access to the care you want. Even if your surgery is covered by insurance, you might find that the out-of-pocket costs associated with treatments in your home country are more than what it would cost to travel to another country for the procedure.
  • You can recover in private. Many people prefer to have plastic surgery and other operations overseas, so they can recover comfortably at a hotel without family or friends dropping in during the healing process.
  • Established global standards of medical care, combined with advancements in technology within the healthcare field, have improved health care throughout the world, giving patients more options.
  • Many of the medical professionals who offer their services to patients from abroad are not only trained, but also certified, in Western nations, including the U.K. and the U.S.
  • There are also medical centers throughout the world that are accredited by international organizations to prove their excellence, and some are members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Things to Consider Before You Get Plastic Surgery Abroad

Medical tourism can provide many benefits for patients, but there are also some risks that you need to consider before hopping on a plane and heading off to Brazil for a nose job or to Thailand for a face lift.
Generally, regardless of where you are traveling to receive your medical treatments, you should be aware that:
  • There may be an increased risk of developing blood clots if you fly after having surgery. Therefore, always plan for an appropriate amount of recuperation time. Then, when you are on your flight home, make it a point to get up and move around often to keep the blood flowing.
  • If you don’t speak the native language fluently and if you aren’t planning on traveling with someone who knows the language and can speak on your behalf, it could be difficult to communicate with your doctor and nurses in a foreign country. This could increase the risk of complications and misunderstandings regarding your care. Taking someone with you or arranging for a translator may be beneficial if you have concerns about language barriers–especially if your doctor is in high demand and the hospital staff may not have the same level of language skills as your doctor.
  • In some nations, there is the risk that medications will be of a poorer quality than what you would receive at home. Medications might even be counterfeit in foreign countries. You can avoid problems by getting your prescriptions from legitimate pharmacies (you can ask your country’s embassy to help you find one) and always asking for a receipt. Never shop from street vendors, open markets, or suspicious looking establishments, and avoid medications that are priced super cheap. Also, closely examine the pills themselves and their packaging, especially if you know what the medications are supposed to look like.
  • Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem all over the world, and it could be more widespread in countries where medical tourism is common. Bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics can result in complications that include serious infections. The right medical facility will order tests to determine the specific antibiotics that you need, as well as answer your questions regarding any antibiotic-resistant strains that they’ve dealt within the past. When given antibiotics, always take them exactly as prescribed.
  • There have already been outbreaks of infectious diseases amongst medical tourists who have returned home to the U.S. Some patients, including those who suffered from complications, are reluctant to tell their doctors about the care that they received overseas, and some may not even have the right documentation regarding the treatments they received. If you experience difficulties when you return home, be open and honest with your primary care physician and be sure to furnish all the records regarding the care you received abroad.

Paying for Medical Procedures in Other Countries

Another thing you need to consider when you become a medical tourist is how you will pay for the treatments you will receive and the procedures you will undergo. Make sure you get a quote for exactly how much you will be expected to pay, and consider the costs of traveling to and from your destination, as well as the cost of your hotel during your stay.
Keep in mind that foreign currencies can be volatile, so using a specialist money transfer service like OFX, could help you save substantially compared to transferring money overseas with your bank. With OFX, you can also lock in an exchange rate, so you’ll know exactly what you’ll be paying even if you won’t be having your procedure for another 6 months. Think of it like this: by using OFX instead of your bank or credit card to pay for a medical procedure, you may save enough to cover the cost of a hotel for a week. So get out there, and get ready to turn heads with your new look.

Finding Ways to Get Ahead in the Beauty Industry

 

The beauty industry is more than just a multimillion-dollar market; it is one of the foundations of western society. Both modern men and women have an investment in the beauty industry, from haircuts to makeup and cosmetic surgery. This societal interest in the outer appearance is what makes the beauty industry so lucrative, but it is also why there is so much competition in the beauty market for businesses. If you want to break into the market, then you have to find ways to stand out and get noticed; here are a few ideas which might help you get ahead in the beauty industry.

Fill a gap in the market

There are already hundreds of beauty businesses out there, so why should your customers choose you over all the rest? That’s the question you need to find an answer to if you want your business to succeed. In other words, you need to find your niche. First and foremost, decide which sector of the beauty industry you want to break into. Having a cosmetic surgery and hair salon, which also offers fitness advice, might cover a lot of ground, but covering too much ground would just confuse your customers and make them question the legitimacy of your practice. Research your target market, and find out what it is that customers want because this is the best way to determine what is missing from the market. If you fill that gap, you will already have the edge over your competitors.

Offer a diverse range of products

Finding your niche is the first step, but you can’t just stop there. You will need to offer your clientele a range of services and products which compliment your specialism, as only having one or two products will limit the client group you are able to cater for.

Take, for instance, a business which wants to offer hair waxing. The niche might be that they offer a range of waxing techniques and products which are not widely available. However, as well as this, a successful brand would also want to offer alternative methods of hair removal, such as threading or laser hair removal. These alternatives don’t have to be costly, for example, you can buy second-hand laser machines from Sentient Lasers, but will provide a wider scope for broadening your target market. If these are services that you cannot personally provide, then you could always partner with other professionals who do offer other services that you might like to provide for your customers.

Effective branding

Once you have the business model, you need to decide how you are going to present yourself to consumers. Your company name and business marking is the first step to selling yourself to possible clients, so this needs to be carefully thought out. Consider the ‘hair removal’ business model again: rather than simply portraying the company as ‘hair removal business,’ you could instead market as a ‘skin care specialist’ brand, and offer your clients other skin care treatments, such as body wraps or facials. This takes your company from a one-stop shop for hair removal to a universal brand which offers a range of services.

Using these few simple marketing techniques are just the first few steps you can take to help you create a likable brand, which, in turn, will assist you in getting ahead in a competitive industry.

Crest 3D White No Slip Whitestrips Teeth Whitening

Crest 3D White No Slip Whitestrips®. They really don’t slip!  Teeth Whitening can have dramatic benefits for appearance and self-confidence.  I love my teeth to be white and  healthy. My whitening method of choice for many years has been professional, direct from my dentist, whitening trays and gel.

Crest 3D White No Slip Whitestrips

My New Fave! Crest 3D White No Slip Whitening and Therapy Kit

Recently, my trays became discolored and started breaking down. I decided to try something new before making an appointment for a replacement tray fitting and purchase. So, I tried Crest White Strips but I found them to be flimsy and slippery. I just couldn’t get them to adhere properly. If they did finally adhere and I talked or put my lips together, they wadded up.  I got frustrated so I stashed the remainder of them away. I continued to use my trays and finished up my last syringe of Dental Office purchased whitening gel.

Then I found out about the new Crest 3d “NO Slip” Whitestrips. Did I miss them at my local Walgreens? Did they not have them in stock when I made my last purchase there?  Wow! What a difference.  These “NO Slip” Whitestrips actually stay in place and are easy to apply and provide comfortable wear. The no-slip grip is amazing. The strips stay put until you take them off. And you do need to make an effort to take them off which is a good thing. They say you can even drink water with them on.  I wouldn’t imagine drinking water with them on but if the need is there, it is doable.

I got the Crest 3D White “No Slip” Whitening & Therapy. It’s a kit that offers the Whitestrips and Crest’s new Enamel Strengthening  Serum/Toothpaste.

The kit comes with with 28 strips. Fourteen are for lower teeth and the other fourteen are for upper teeth. It comes with a tube of the fluoride anti-cavity enamel Strengthening Serum/Toothpaste.

I am going to use this for a trial of 14 daily treatments. If I love it as much or more on day 14 as I do now, I’ll definitely stay with it.  It’s priced friendly at $44.99.
