Pave your way to Radiant Skin with Organic Mineral Peel Face
I write about many different skin care products and let me assure you, I write about the products I really like. Different types of skincare products intrigue me so whenever I come accross a unique skincare product, whether its a basic cream, masque or toner, I am definitely going to tell you about it.
I recently found a great exfoliater from O.R.G. Cosmecuticals called Organic Mineral Peel Face. This exfoliater is different from anything I have tried. Organic Mineral Peel Face comes in the form of a spray. My first thought was “how would a spray type exfoliater do its job if the spray was running down my face?’. Let me assure you, this was not the case.
Organic Mineral Peel Face sprays onto your face in a the form of a mist and stays exactly where it is sprayed. It is also a non-abrasive facial exfoliater designed to gently removes dead skin cells, makeup and other impurities within minutes of application. What I love about this exfoliater is that once sprayed, simply massage into your skin and rinse. It doesn’t even feel like an exfoliater and you will love the results. Your skin will look revitalized and will feel fresh and smooth.
You only need to exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week and your skin will always look radiant. If you are a make-up wearer, your makeup will look flawless. You will notice that your make-up will go on smoother and your skin will look smoother. Who wants their make-up to look cakey and blotchy anyway?
Organic Mineral Peel Face is also unique because it is formulated with all natural skin brightening agents such as Milk Thistle, Licorice as well as enriched nutrients and antioxidants including Omega 3, Vitamin A, & Vitamin B1. This remarkable exfoliater is also free of any alcohol, parabens and sulfates.

Gelmoment paves the way to Beautiful Nails
You can’t imagine how many bottles of nail polish we have in our home between my daughters and me. We love nail polish, especially Adrienne who always comes up with the most creative look and style. One type of nail polish we don’t have is gel polish so we decided to try an at home gel polish kit. Jenna was our brave subject when it came time to try our new Gelmoment Gel Polish kit by Belvada.
All I can say is Gelmoment is so easy to use and in only a few steps, you will have strong beautiful nails. That’s right, no need for a base coat or a top coat with Gelmoment. After choosing your favorite Belvada Gel Nail Polish, simply apply a thin coat to your nails and set your nail (one at a time) under the LED light. Within a minute your nail will be dry and ready to roll. As you can tell by our actual photos, just polish and set under the LED light. Before you know it, you will have beautiful nails. If my girls can do it, you can too!
Belvada Gel Nail Polishes are made without any solvents which means no odors, making them much healthier for your nails.
Think about the time and money you will save when you acquire your very own Gelmont kit.

Myo Technologies Introduces a Fabulous New Skincare Line
Myo Technologies, provider of Myotonology, the only US patented microcurrent skin toning treatment, recently introduced 7 fabulous skincare products containing quality botanical ingredients aimed at toning and hydrating your delicate skin.
I was lucky enough to try a few skincare products from the Myo Essentials skincare line and I enjoyed the products immensely but I was particularly impressed with one of them…more about that product a little later.
Myo Essentials skincare line includes Advanced Protection SPF 30, Borage Leaf Foaming Cleanser, Exfoliating Cleanser, Ginseng Mineral Toner, Luminous Peptide Serum, Restorative Marine Moisturizer and my personal favorite, the Refreshing Anti-Puff Eye Gel.
Myo Essential’s goal is to target damaged skin which occurs at the cellular level and by proper cleansing, toning and moisturizing every day, damage to the skin can be minimized. Myo Essentials is completely hypoallergenic, cruely-free and very affordable which is a bonus.
After cleansing and/or exfoliating, the Ginseng Toner is incredibly refreshing. A few of the key ingredients in the Ginseng toner are Chamomile and Geranium, a calming blend of aromatherapy oils which helps soothe and freshen your skin. It’s perfect on those warm mornings as it gives you a cool refreshing pick-me-up. Ginseng Extract is one of the beneficial ingredients in this toner for revitalizing and conditioning your skin. The toner also contains Witch Hazel, a a gentle but powerful astringent, tonic and cleanser so you will see amazing results especially when used following the Foaming Cleanser.
Although I throughly enjoyed Myo Essentials Cleanser and Ginseng Toner, I especially enjoyed the Refreshing Anti-Puff Eye Gel. Why? Because it really works. My eyes are usually slightly puffy in the morning and after my cleansing routine I applied a small amount of the gel to the puffy area around my eyes (I loved the metal roller-ball applicator tip). I was amazed that within a half hour, the puffiness around my eyes decreased. Simply apply before moisturizing, it’s as easy as that.
Refreshing Anti-Puff Eye Gel is formulated with special ingredients and essential oils that help reduce redness, water retension and improves firmness, elasticity and inflamation. As stated at http://myotone.com/. “Clinical results shown that 65% of subjects had a decrease in eye bag thickness after 28 days. Testing also indicated a 25% reduction of capillary permeability.”

Mama Mio’s easiest 4 Minute Boot Camp and “No Crunches Allowed”
I am a huge fan of Mama Mio Skincare and their motto “fit skin for life”. Mama Mio’s team of experts continuously create solutions for specific women’s life stages ranging from pregnancy and weight-loss to helping them cope with the first signs of gravity and menopause. Mama Mio’s goal is to ” feel great in our birthday suits – from top to toe – no matter what the birthday.” Lucky Legs Cooling Serum, one of Mama Mio’s skincare products formulated to revive tired legs is one of my favorites and now I am loving Bootcamp Tummies, another sensational Mama Mio product.
Mama Mio Tummies is a skincare kit packed with everything you need to achieve a great looking tummy. Skin Tight Toning Serum, Get Waisted Body Shaper and a handy Booklet, 4 minute Tummy Tucking program created by ab guru Julie Tupler, RN. These 3 products are all you need to get a great looking tummy in less than 4 minutes a day! Incredible!
Skin Tight Toning Serum should be used two times a day for 6 to 8 weeks for maximum results. This specially formulated serum is designed to smooth and tighten saggy, crepey, loose skin. It is colorless and light and only a small amount is needed as it spreads easily. I am also using Skin Tight Toning Serum on my arms and it also works well anywhere on you body where you feel tightening is needed.
What is in Skin Tight Toning Serum that allows you to achieve tighter, firmer and toned skin?
Papaya Enzymes exfoliate to soften, Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful moisturizer, helps plump up the skin, Uniprosyn™ is often used in very expensive eye creams to combat crow’s feet, and Soy Protein Complex, used for tightening the surface of the skin.
Get Waisted Body Shaper is the second but an equally important part of the 3 part Bootcamp Tummy Regime. After applying Skin Tight Toning Serum, wait 15 minutes and apply Get Waisted Body Shaper. Get Waisted was formulated to shrink fat cells and tighten and firm tummy flab. Get Waisted works beneath the surface of the skin to increase the breakdown of fat. It is clinically proven to help increase fat burning as well as tighten and tone.
It only takes one pump of Get Waisted Body Shaper and massage the cream into your tummy for at least 30 seconds using large clockwise strokes. You only need to use this once a day for 30 days – no cheating! Use it on your arms too! As stated by Mama Mio, “Get Waisted works by increasing the energy levels within your skin, boosting firmness, tightness and increasing lipolysis. Lipolysis is the natural action that happens when your fat cells release the ‘energy’ within them – ie fat – to give your body fuel’
What is in Get Waisted Body Shaper that allows you to achieve tighter, firmer and toned skin?
An amazing combination of 9 proven ingredients work together to increase circulation, reduce puffiness, tighten and tone. You can learn more about these amazing ingredients at www.mamamio.com/us/.
Mama Mio clearly states that we must be totally realistic on this -This product will not remove large fat deposits, and it will take a combination of Get Waisted, exercise and eating well! But the combination of all three will give you amazing results. Get Waisted Body Shaper has been tested independently by Weight Watchers, and is featured in magazines such as Bazaar, Vogue, Weight Watchers, You, Lucky, Marie Claire, and the list goes on and on.
The third part of Bootcamp Tummies are the 2 special abdominal exercises you need to do each day and will only take you less than 4 minutes to complete. I don’t want to spoil the surprise by telling you what those exercises are but I can tell you this:
The 4 Minute Tummy-Tucking Exercise Program which was created by ab rehab guru, Julie Tupler, RN, focuses on strengthening the Transverse muscle (your natural corset) and the Rectus adominal (outer most abdominal muscle). By perfecting these 2 abdominal exercises, your tummy will become flatter and stronger. Remember, only 4 minutes a day!
You can start your way to a flatter tummy by going to http://www.mamamio.com/us/ . You will also learn more about Mama Mio and view their vast array of incredible skincare as well as obtain information on “fit skin for life”.

A Remarkable Hair Care Line Created by a Remarkable Woman, “OUIDAD”
As you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I didn’t realize that a remarkable hair care line I have been enjoying bares the name of the woman who herself won a battle with breast cancer. The woman and her hair care line is named Ouidad. In 2002 Ouidad was diagnosed with breast cancer and fortunately, made a full recovery, but Ouidad vowed to “never let recovery be the end of my battle.” “On behalf of my company, I invite you to help fund the fight to find a cure for breast cancer by supporting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® through OUIDAD – Curls For A Cure®. We’ll continue to match your donations dollar for dollar towards our goal to donate one million dollars.” Learn more about Curls for a cure and how you can help at ouidad.com/Fight-Breast-Cancer-Curls-For-A-Cure
Whether you have wavy, curly or kinky hair, Ouidad.com has an extensive line of products to suit your individual hair type. You will also find the right hair product based on your concern. For example, if you have dry, damaged, limp or thin hair, Ouidad will have the appropriate product targeting your personal hair care needs and concerns. The website is amazing offering informational videos on just about every product they carry. OK, so you are not sure what type of curly hair you have, start your journey at Ouidad‘s hair profiler http://www.ouidad.com/Curl-Profiler, it’s fun, easy and after answering a few questions, you will know exactly what type of curly hair you have, it’s remarkable!
I have medium curly, thin hair and Playcurl Volumizing Shampoo is one of the products selected for my hair concern. Playcurl Volumizing Shampoo is fabulous, addressing my thinning hair while adding fullness, leaving my curls frizz-free and intact. I must say, my hair has never been curlier and I’m loving it. Playcurl Volumizing Shampoo contains a unique blend of botanical extracts, wheat proteins and Hydrolyzed silk which aids in cleansing while creating volume. As stated by Ouidad, “PlayCurl’s blend of Green Tea Extract, Aloe and Wheat Protein with volumizing polymers provide a gentle shampooing that livens limp curls and encourages curl formation. Leaves hair shiny and manageable, transforming your tresses into truly luscious locks!
Ouidad.com offers some interesting and helpful tips about shampooing:
**Never bunch or scrub hair together while shampooing as this roughens the cuticle and gives you weakened, frizzier hair. Use fingertips only to massage the scalp, then gently comb outstretched fingers in a downward motion through the hair to cleanse and detangle.
**Shampooing every day is not necessary. Less frequent shampooing allows your natural oils to lubricate and protect your hair. On days you don’t shampoo, a light spritz of Ouidad Botanical Boost will refresh hair.
I found that Curl Quencher Moisturizing Conditioner to be the perfect compliment to Playcurl Shampoo. After shampooing, Curl Quencher throughly moisturized my hair. I loved the fact that it is also a detangler and as a result, there was minimal tangles and my hair brushed out easily and gently. I also noticed that my hair is not as dry as it usually is. I don’t heat style but if you do, Curl Quencher will help repair damage from excessive heat from styling tools. “Curl Quencher is safe for color treated, permed, and straightened curls, Curl Quencher’s algae extract and wheat amino acids seal in moisture and protect even fragile, damaged hair.”
If you really want to spiffy up your curly locks you will LOVE Ouidad’s NEW Curl Recovery™ Curl Defining Styling Soufflé. This incredible souffle revitalizes dry, unmanageable hair and transforms your curls into elongated, healthy, beautiful looking curls. This is one of the newest additions to Ouidad’s Curl Recovery™ Collection. As stated by Ouidad, “this soufflé contains Ouidad’s exclusive CR 4 Repair Complex which uses a blend of Mafura Butter and Kalahari Melon Seed Oil to deeply nourish and reconstruct the hair. Frizz free and hydrated hair has never been easier thanks to this sumptuous styling soufflé.”
What makes Ouidad’s NEW Curl Recovery™ Curl Defining Styling Soufflé a winner?
Curl Recovery™ Curl Defining Styling Soufflé is perfect for dry or damaged textured hair, and after use, you will notice your hair will be hydrated, elongated and silky soft. This souffle is formulated with natural emollient oils from Avocado, Radish, Coconut and Meadowfoam which helps to replenish moisture, reducing frizz and leaving your hair with a healthy shine it deserves. I just finished using the souffle and after shampooing and conditioning, simply towel dry and add small amounts of the souffle to your hair. I am air drying my hair and the curls are defined and my hair is silky soft. Curl Recovery™ Curl Defining Styling Soufflé has an incredibly sweet smell and is so light and fluffy, you will never know it is in your hair. The Souffle is formulated without parabens, sulfates and synthetic dyes which makes it even more desirable to use.
See for yourself at http://www.ouidad.com/Curl-Recovery-Souffle and learn about the 4 tips and techniques on how to use this amazing souffle to your full advantage.
Keep your curly hair looking the best it ever has with Ouidad.
