These are some of the things that I took away from this video that meant the most to me, as a consumer.

The company gives back 20% of it’s profits.

The non-profits it supports are close to my heart, wildlife and kids – poaching prevention and children’s eyesight health.

The sunglasses are handcrafted.

You are paying for sunglasses that last.

The team personally picks out the color of each lens, the type and personally know the reason why these  choices are important.

The Founder is at the forefront of the company.

Check back soon as I will be continuing this post by sharing one of my favorite Dynamikos Designs and why I love it.  I will be directing you to some great tips from the Dynamikos Journal page like how to chose the best sunglasses design that flatters your face.

Information about lenses that provide protection to ward off those little wrinkles at the corners of our eyes, shield your eyes from damage and block that eyeball-searing ultraviolet (UV) light.

Amazon, 4 Of My Favorite Amazon Finds

Fiber Wig Extra Long Pure Black

Fiber Wig Extra Long Pure Black

 

Amazon Shopping for the World’s Biggest Selection of Products

I shop at Amazon for things I otherwise can not find easily and for the lower pricing. Take for instance, Drawstring Travel Shoe Bags. They come in assorted colors, sizes, materials and styles.  I recently bought a package of 10 travel shoe bags. I use one in my Zumba tote for my Zumba sneakers & socks another for my Zumba Toning Sticks. They are different patterns so I know what is inside when reaching in my bag quickly.  In my gym bag, I use one for my gym shoes and socks. I have one in my car that holds my flip flops for when I suddenly decide to stop in for a pedicure or for sore feet.  I use one to hold a packable travel wrap in my car. I can easily pop it into any of my totes for comfort wear in restaurants, by the fire or at the beach at night. These are bags that are “must have’s” for weekend or long term travel as they prevent your shoes from soiling your clothes and from getting scuffed.

Lip Gloss Applicators are a must-have for the makeup professional. I use them for my clear or light shades of lip gloss/lip plumper. I hardly ever wear the clear or light shades alone.  I usually layer the clear or light shades over a richer or brighter colored lip stick.  Using the applicator included with the gloss causes it to get colored by the various lipsticks you are using it over. Soon it no longer stays clear or the nice clean color that you purchased.  Plus if your lips aren’t clean, such as after eating in a restaurant, or at the beach, Yuck!  Don’t use the original applicator. That even goes for colored glosses.  There are various kinds of applicators. Some of the applicators are reusable, others are disposable.

From Amazon, I order Alcohol Wipes. I get the Clear Touch brand 100 for $5.99 or . I use them to clean my nails off after polish removal.  I use them for bugs bites or to get ink or makeup swatches off of my skin. They remove hairspray that is stuck on mirrors. You can use them to clean off phones and surfaces.  They are very versatile and I always have some on hand.

My absolute favorite Mascara is available on Amazon. Dejavu Fiber Wig Pure Black Mascara with extra long wand. I try to recall where I found this fabulous mascara in the first place.  I think it must have been at a beauty trade show.  I love it because it is a film type, fiber mascara so it washes off easily with water.  I very gently rub my lashes with lukewarm water and it comes off. I have been using it for years and years. I have never had a problem with it running during wear or damaging my lashes.

Special Beauty/Fashion note from Lisa:

Beth Sobol will bring awareness to the tech company’s new .FASHION domain extension and educate fashion insiders on new branding opportunities.

Minds + Machines Limited (London Stock Exchange: MMX) today announced that it has signed fashion expert and entrepreneur Beth Sobol, as the company’s Global Brand Ambassador. In this newly established role, Sobol will share her expert insights to help start-up fashion brands grow their business, expand MMX’s consumer following, and inspire industry partners.

“We are very excited that Beth has joined MMX as our Global Brand Ambassador. Her proven track record in the fashion industry as the founder of Miami Fashion Week and the upcoming Future of Xperience fashion and retail technology conference make her a powerful spokeswoman for .FASHION domains.” Solomon Amoako, Vice President of Channel Strategy at MMX explains. “Beth’s extensive network in the fashion and technology sectors make her the perfect voice to carry our message of new branding opportunities to the fashion elite”.

Launched in 2015, .FASHION is already in use by Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein and Nike. .FASHION will change the way consumers search for clothing, accessories, bloggers and any fashion related business. “Creative domain extensions give startups and small businesses better, shorter options for naming their brands,” said Sobol. “In the future, these new extensions will be ubiquitous.”

Minds + Machines Limited launched .FASHION domains in 2015 and the domain has been secured and in use by major brands (louisvuitton.fashion, calvinklein.fashion, nike.fashion), fashion blogs & publishers (theindustry.fashion, techstyler.fashion, nyu.fashion), aspiring designers (mila.fashion, damur.fashion, dam.fashion) and fashion entrepreneurs (cala.fashion, assemblelab.fashion, lucylondon.fashion).

It only takes a little black for a super white smile

How many beauty products do you have on your shelf that contain activated charcoal?  I can honestly say that I now have one, C6 teeth whitener. C6 contains activated charcoal and is as black as charcoal can get.

What is activated charcoal? Activated charcoal offers a  variety of applications that help to rid the body of toxins and it is medicinal. It’s the byproduct of slowly burnt wood, peat or coconut shells and becomes “activated” through a heating process. Activated charcoal traps unwanted chemicals in its tiny pores by a process called adsorption, defined as “the chemical reaction where elements bind to a surface,” where positively charged toxins attach themselves to the negative charge of activated charcoal.

 

There you have it. Now let me introduce you to C6.   C6 is an all natural formula that whitens teeth using activated charcoal (carbon) powder without the pain and sensitivity associated with chemical teeth whitening treatments. I’m not a fan of ultraviolet lights due to teeth sensitivity and I have used other teeth whiteners which I like. What I like about C6 is that you brush your teeth with the charcoal as you would toothpaste. (C6 does not replace toothpaste and I brush my teeth apter using it).

C6 is formulated with coconut shell charcoal powder and other organic ingredients to “adsorb” particles in your mouth helping to rid your teeth of stains associated with berries, coffees, teas and smoke. It also helps remove bacteria and toxins associated with bad breath.

After using C6 you will notice immediately how smooth the surface of your teeth are and whiter too.  The organic orange peel and peppermint oils contained in C6 add a refreshing taste that you will love! C6 activated charcoal powder will not lighten artificial teeth, caps, crowns, veneers or porcelain, composite or other restorative materials.

The only drawback to C6 is that as you brush your teeth with the charcoal, your teeth and mouth will be temporarily black, really black . It’s not a pretty sight but after rinsing your mouth out thoroughly, the results are brightening!

C6 contains no harmful chemicals is vegan and cruelty free and made in an FDA registered facility.

For more information and to purchase your C6 visit  www.getc6.com
