It’s a Glam Thing’s JULY’S GIVEAWAY FEATURING THERAGROW AWARDED TO ONE LUCKY WINNER
BEAUTY NEWS!
WOMEN WITH HAIR LOSS FIND HAIR REGROWTH IN A HELMET
Over half of women experience hair loss by the age of 50. There are many women out there who experimented with hair color, straightening and other styling methods that involve chemicals that weaken hair. Also stress is also a culprit for hair loss plus hormonal changes. To fight the battle of thinning hair women typically turn to topical products which don’t deliver the results they hope for. Also, most women are not candidates for hair transplants.
For the many women who suffer with hair loss and the self-consciousness it leads to; finally, there is a discreet FDA cleared at-home product designed strictly for women called Theragrow™ $495 http://theragrow.com/
Theragrow is a helmet that harnesses the power of laser light to minimize hair loss and promote hair growth. It delivers the same precise wavelength and dosage of energy proven to rejuvenate hair follicles and effectively regrow hair.
HOW IT WORKS:
Click the link to see video:http://theragrow.com/
Theragrow allows the necessary wavelength between 670 and 686 nanometers to penetrate deep enough to reach the base of the hair follicles and stimulate growth; a depth of 3 to 5 millimeters. No other light source, including devices using LED light, can achieve this.
By treating the base of hair follicles, Theragrow’s proprietary cold laser technology ensures the mitochondria, the energy generator of hair cells, is reactivated. The mitochondria then produce cell energy that is absorbed by hair follicles stimulating new hair growth.
The lightweight Theragrow helmet houses 40 individual lasers. It provides maximum scalp coverage to treat all areas affected by androgenetic alopecia, the condition suffered by most women reporting hair loss.
After the first treatment, the process of halting hair loss and rejuvenating your hair follicles to grow healthier, stronger, thicker hair begins. Laser light therapy targets the stem cells at the base of hair follicles. It’s working deep beneath the surface even before you see visible results.
The inventor of Theragrow, Tamin Hamid Ph.D, who is a former NASA scientist and Biomedical Engineer, is excited to provide a viable, cost- effective solution specifically for women who haven’t seen adequate results from topical treatments. She explains, “women cannot take the only prescription drug available because it is only FDA cleared for men so this is a solution for women that will deliver results. More than 90% of women in a recent user group reported positive results from treatments delivering the precise weekly amount of laser light energy you get with Theragrow.”
Low-level laser light technology has been proven to repair, improve and grow hair in women. Within the first three months Theragrow leads to reduced hair loss and increased thickness and density. Within six months there’s a fuller appearance and feel to hair with more body, there’s also visible new hair growth at the top and crown of the head. At that nine month mark hair regrowth is significant.
Theragrow is used for 20 minutes, 4 times per week and you can read, watch TV, work on the computer while wearing it. It’s quiet and cordless FDA cleared over the counter medical device to promote hair growth in women. It is not to be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or have been diagnosed with cancer.

Donna’s Beauty Check List
I am a mature woman and have dealt with many of the things that can make one appear less beautiful and older if they are not addressed. That being said, I put together a list of beauty items that can help a woman look both youthful and healthy, no matter her age. In my next articles I will address how to achieve the below list in detail.

- Donna’s Beauty Checklist
Face
How is your skin? Examine it. Is it smooth? Acne? Hydrated? Evenly toned? Dry? Flaky? Sun damage? If your skin is heavily damaged, you might want to consider a light chemical peel.
How are your eyes? Red? Clear? Puffy? Circles?
How are your brows? Are they bushy or trimmed well? Coloring?
Are your lips plump and even? Chapped?
Any facial hair? A simple laser treatment will take care of this evil. Also, plucking or buying an inexpensive facial hair remover is an option as there are many on the market today.
Lashes – Are they lush and healthy or sparse and short?
Makeup – wearing too much can be extremely off-putting. Learn the perfect amount to highlight your face. Enlist the help of a friend or professional if you need guidance. There are also some great makeup videos on YouTube.
Hair
Is your hair healthy? Thick? Well-groomed?
Is the color rich and flattering to your complexion? Do you have roots?
Is the style up-to-date and becoming? Split ends? Frizz?
Is it shiny or dull?Thick healthy hair or the appearance of is important
This is my body at 54 years old! I am quite prod as I work out 3 to 4 days a week for about 1 hour in the morning!
Body
Is your body fit? Too heavy or too thin?
Is your muscle tone lacking?
Is your body skin sagging?
Do you have discolorations on your body?
Are your fingernails and toe nails groomed?
Are you in proportion? Top and bottom?
Skin color – way too tan/pale?
Is your skin dry and flaky?
Body hair?
Hygiene
Are your teeth clean, brushed and smelling good?
Are your teeth yellow? Missing? Stained? In need of orthodontics? Teeth are crucial to a beautiful face.
Have you showered?
Is your hair clean, groomed well?
Are your clothes pressed, well thought out and appropriate for where you will be going?
Next take a look at your overall package. Look at yourself honestly and write down the things you like and the things that you would like to work on. This may be painful as no one wants to face their flaws, but in order to change something you don’t like, it is essential to address it first.
After your candid evaluation, you need to make a list of your goals and objectives both physically and mentally. Set realistic goals, and give yourself a timeframe. I like to make both short and long-term goals and reward myself for each accomplishment as I make it. Great satisfaction comes from achieving these goals and you will feel so much better about yourself as progress is made.

Produce in skin care products. What you need to know.
Fruits and vegetables have beneficial antioxidant compounds that truly benefit the body when consumed alone, with your breakfast cereal, in your favorite smoothie or any way you choose to get your daily dose of produce.
Although fruits and vegetables may be great taken by mouth, that doesn’t mean they are going to be great when you put them in a topical skin care product. Topical skin care products need to be formulated to ensure that the ingredients remain active, penetrate the skin and do not lose their benefits when mixed with other ingredients and you must have enough of the fruit or vegetable ingredient to get any benefit out of it.
Here’s a look at three skin care brands with fruit and vegetable ingredients that are worth seeking out and that do it right.
The PURA D’OR brand of hair care formulas include a number of premium organic and natural fruit and vegetable ingredients such as Avocado, Carrot, Cherry, Coconut, Cucumber, Grape, Lemon, Mango, Olive, Orange, Papaya, and Pomegranate.
The formulations of the newly launched Nyakio skin care products are inspired by the family recipes of Nyakio Kamoche Grieco, a first generation American of Kenyan descent. The range of ingredients include but are not limited to: Avocado, Grape, Cucumber, Tomato and Papaya.
The Petal Fresh Pure line of bath, body and hair products uses Mandarin, Mango, Grapefruit, Pomegranate, Cucumber, Lemon, Olive and more in their product formulations.

Donna’s List of Natural Beauty Concoctions for Face & Hair
As many of you know, I use natural remedies on a regular basis and have shared some of them before but I thought I would share many of them in a list.
Donna Spangler simple beauty
I like to start out with an exfoliant.
Do you want to get your skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom? Nothing polishes the face better than the fine granules that baking soda is made of. I love to use this simple and inexpensive home remedy to smooth the skin, especially on the face. It’s quick and easy.
putting the baking soda paste on in a circular motion
It also travels well, dry in a sealed plastic baggy.
First, take a scoop of baking soda and add a small amount of water just enough to make a paste. Then, take the paste and put it on your face rubbing in a circular motion. Cover the whole face and stop when you feel that your face is fully cleaned and polished.
Lastly, run warm water and rinse. Make sure you get all the granules off.
Your skin will feel smooth and polished
Another natural exfoliant is honey. I keep a container in my bathroom so I can use it to wash my face when I take a bath or shower. It takes off the dirt and is a natural antibacterial. It does not strip the skin of natural oils and balances the skin. Even if the honey has started to turn more coarse and sugary I use it as it has a great exfoliant texture. In addition ,it is inexpensive!
