A Must-Have When Gifting Jewelry this Mother’s Day

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, you can never go wrong with a gift by giving a beautiful piece of jewelry. After choosing the perfect piece, ensure that it will be the perfect fit for your special someone so that they can wear it all night long.

Whether you are gifting a ring or earrings to your loved one on Mother’s Day, BlingGuard, offers the most effective and comfortable products to make your jewelry look and feel fabulous.

BlingWraps are innovative solutions to ring resizing that help keep jewelry from twisting, turning or sliding by adding 1+ ring sizes to your finger. BlingWraps use a patented “padlock” design that is invisible and fits securely beneath your ring to keep it in place. http://blingguard.com/

 

BlingDots are earring supports and stabilizers that ensure comfortable and positioned earrings perfectly on the ear. They are mad of hypoallergenic foam that provides comfort and support while lifting the earrings up on your ears.  Earrings no longer droop or fall forward and also greatly relieve the weight of heavy earrings and help stop your ear lobes from stretching. http://blingguard.com/

Gifts From PEVONIA Are Perfect For Mother’s Day

My children are already looking for gift ideas for Mother’s Day and I told them Pevonia Skincare is one of my favorites. One of my daughters has already claimed my Pevonia Enchanting Indulgence Aromatic Soy Candle so I wouldn’t mind receiving another one…hint…hint.

I love the array of Gift Sets Pevonia has to offer. I have used Pevonia safe sun products in the past and was lucky enough to receive a Pevonia Spa Travel Essentials Kit for Valentine’s Day. I am still enjoying it, and I don’t want to run out so that might be another gift idea..hint…hint!

Pevonia Gift Sets include all the great essentials needed to enjoy a relaxing bath and the mini size bath luxuries are small enough to take with you on overnight stays and quick trips. The gift sets also contains air travel 3-1-1 carry-on approval products. Imagine, you can still enjoy your spa experience while away. Another reason why I like Pevonia Gift Sets is that you can try an assortment of products and then purchase a full size of the product you especially enjoy.

Pevonia has an assortment of Skincare Solution Gift Sets catering to just about every skincare  need. They have gift sets for sensitive skin, safe sun face and body, eye care, rosacea, dry skin combination skin and gift sets for Him. You can find all these sensational gift sets at   http://www.pevonia.com/pevonia-product-type-gift-sets.html

For example, Pevonia Spa at Home Essentials Gift Set includes Silky Skin Body Scrub and when massaged into your skin erases those annoying rough patches. Relax and destress with Mystique Escape Body Salts or if you prefer, the Anti Stress Bath & Shower Gel is most enjoyable whether in the tub or shower. Nothing is more relaxing than lighting a beautifully aromatic lavender votive, also part of this gift set. I really enjoy the Lavender’s relaxing and soothing effects. Complete your spa experience with Preserve Body Moisturizer, it’s the perfect moisturizer following the perfect spa experience.

I am enjoying this gift set so much so, I can’t wait to see what my next gift from Pevonia will be! Surprise me !!!

“Get The Look”

Actress Emmy Rossum looked stunning at the Jeffrey Fashion Cares Fundraiser on Tuesday, April 2nd in New York City. Rossum’s makeup artist–Jake Bailey – shows how to get her 60’s-inspired look: “We wanted to create a mod look, but bring it into this millennium with really clean, glowing skin and a dramatic eye,” says Bailey.

 To Get The Look:

  • *Create the perfect canvas for any makeup look – a flawless, glowing complexion – with Bioré® Acne Clearing Scrub ($6.49; drugstores nationwide). Bioré® Acne Clearing Scrub gently cleanses and polishes skin without harsh side effects or over-drying.
  • *Apply a sheer, lightweight foundation for an even glow.
  • *Accentuate the eye by lining the top and bottom lash line with a waterproof crème liner. Apply a thin line in the crease of the eye to further emphasize the ‘mod’ look.
  • *Using the same waterproof crème liner, paint tiny strokes between bottom lashes to eliminate the need for false eyelashes and create a retro feeling.
  • *Apply a strip of full, black false eyelashes on the top lashes to create a doe-eyed effect.
  • *Apply a coat of waterproof black mascara on top and bottom lashes to finish the dramatic eye look.
  • *Highlight using a radiant, creamy concealer in a light shade along the brow bone.
  • *Apply a satiny lip pencil, a shade or two darker than the lips’ natural shade, to accentuate lips’ natural color while keeping the look clean and modern.
  • *Apply a crème blush or bronzer to cheekbones rather than a traditional powder blush to keep cheeks dewy and fresh-looking.
  • *Finish with a dusting of matte powder in a transparent shade across the T-Zone to eliminate shine.

Portion Control Calls For The SlimPlate System


What better time than now, with summer just around the corner, to try to cut back on a few calories. The last time I checked, we did this by eating less, that’s right, EATING LESS! How many times have we heard that “Portion Control” is all we need to take the weight off and keep it off?

Diet and exericse is always the main key to weight loss, at least it is for me, but I think the real problem for many people is with the foods they eat. Finding the right way to control the food we eat can be difficult. Many people have trouble giving up their favorite foods when dieting and many of us have little will power sticking to an eating program. Eating the same foods all the time while dieting can also become very boring.

Well, I am going to tell you about a clever yet effective way to lose weight or maintain your weight without having to give up your favorite foods simply by using “Portion Control”. You can do it with the SlimPlate System. I think the SlimPlate System in ingenious. The SlimPlate System was developed by physicians and has been clinically tested. When SlimPlate System is used correctly, you are sure to see results. The SlimPlate Stystem is designed to not only help you lose weight, but control your eating behavior by controling the portions of food you eat at each meal.

The Slimplate System provides you with everything you need: 4 pc. Lunch/Dinner plates, 1 pc. Breakfast Plate, 4 pc. Cutters, 2 pc. Bowls, 2 Cups and an easy to read Instruction Booklet. The various types of color coded dinnerware allows you to eat all of your favorite foods, showing you the correct portions you need to eat. After purchasing the SlimPlate System, there are no monthly fees or additional costs associated with it. It’s a fantastic deal!

I have been enjoying the SlimPlate System. I have learned for example that you can have a muffin every now and then, and by using the cutter provided, shows me the exact portion I can eat so there is no guess work involved. After using the SlimPlate System for a week or two, you will realize that the correct portion is really very filling. The SlimPlate System allows you to eat 5 times a day. At the SlimPlate System website; slimplatesystem.com/how-slimplate-works you will learn more about the 4 stage weight loss system and see detailed instructions on how the plates work in relation to your food portions.  The plates are color coded for starches, vegtables and meats and is designed for both men and women to use. Basically, you fill your plate with your favorites foods, fruits, vegtables, etc. staying in the color guidelines on the specific plate, bowl or mug you are using. The color coded lines tells you when you have too much on your plate. There is no thinking or counting involved, just stay in the lines. See an example of a typical dinner, below.

With the SlimPlate System, there are only 3 easy steps to your weight loss, pick your plan, choose your plate and keep your food inside the lines. The Slimplate System is so easy to use and if I can do it, you can too. You will be amazed that after only a few weeks, you will see how much less you will be eating of your favorite foods than you were eating before the SlimPlate System. At an affordable price $99, I suggest you give it a try, you will feel better and look better before you know it. Summertime, here we come!

Shop the Lavanila Healthy Baby Collection When Shopping For Baby

I love babies! I Love everything about babies. I don’t have grandchildren yet but I cherish the opportunities when I can be around babies. At a recent baby shower I attended I enjoyed watching and learning about all the new baby products on the market today, and I couldn’t believe how baby products have changed over the last 20 years. There was one baby product that the girls were raving about, the Lavanila Baby Collection. I recognized the name immediately, after all, I use Lavanila deodorant and their Roll-on Perfume and they are sensational beauty products.

I thought to myself, what a great gift idea for two cousins of mine that recently had babies. Not only is Lavanila Laboratories The Healthy Baby Collection fabulous for babies but it works wonders on children of all ages including adults. The Healthy Baby Collection consists of 5, all natural products including:

Healthy Baby Wash is a tear-free and extra gentle wash containing Coconut and Vanilla to sooth skin and Calendula & Noni Juice to cleanse and soften babies sensitive hair and body.

Healthy Baby Butter is one that I actually love for myself. It contaons pure Shea and Cocoa Butters with nourishing Calendula and Noni Juice for ultra-rich hydration that soothes redness and protects against dryness. Healthy Baby Butter has a beautiful, natural, baby fresh scent too!

Healthy Baby Bottom is a fragrance-free formula containing premium Zinc Oxide & Lanolin along with Calendula and Noni Juice helping to soothe and protect sensitive skin and instantly relieves diaper rash.

Every baby needs sun protection and Healthy Baby Block SPF 40 is a smart choice. Their chemical-free SPF 40 uses a new generation of mineral sunscreens for broad- spectrum UVA/UVB protection, while vitamin-rich Calendula & Noni Juice nourish & soothe your babies skin.
 
Last but not least, another one of my favorites is the Healthy Baby Lotion.  This ultra-light lotion is non-greasy and easily absorbs into your skin which makes it nice for babies, children and adults as well, I love it.  Soothing Sunflower & Vanilla Oil with nourishing Calendula & Noni Juice work together to lock in moisture and protect against dryness.

Lavanila’s The Baby Collection contain no  Sulfates, Parabens, Phthalates, Silicone, Petrochemicals, Propylene glycol, Mineral oil, Formaldehyde, Synthetic fragrance or dyes.

Lavanila Laboratories states that, “Our 100% Natural products are the first to deliver 30 essential vitamins and minerals to support the health and development of delicate baby skin. Pediatrician Tested & Approved, our 100% Baby Safe formulas are completely free of harsh chemicals and held to strict quality standards that ensure the purity and efficacy of each product.
