Hydrate Your Skin the Holistic Way

Refresh your skin this summer with Holistic Rejuvenation Cygalle Healing Spa’s Whipped Basil Moisture Creme. Whipped Basil Moisture Creme is a light, all natural organic creme that helps hydrate your skin, which can often become dry from the elements like wind and sun. As stated by Cygalle, “This long-lasting hydrating treatment is light enough for every day use and features all natural certified organic ingredients that may help prevent breakouts, diminish aging and protect against skin cancer.”

I found Cygalle Healing Spa’s Whipped Basil Moisture Creme to be ultra light and silky to the touch. After cleansing and toning my skin, all I needed was a very small amount to cover my face and neck and then I gently massaged it in. Whipped Basil Moisture Creme has a very natural and appealing fragrance.  I can only describe it as being a combination of cucumbers and basil, which I found to be quite refreshing.  The result…silky soft skin without feeling greasy.

One of the features that intrigued me about Cygalle Healing Spa is that all of their products are made to order to ensure freshness and potency.  This is because Cygalle Healing Spa products are made from all-natural, certified organic ingredients.

Cygalle Healing Spa states that its Whipped Basil Moisture Creme uses a distinctive combination of co-enzyme Q10, virgin avacado oil, organic shea butter, organic jojoba oils, fresh basil, carrot root, raspberry and rosehip to bring a vibrant complexion to all skin types.

Cygalle Skincare Products include  cleansers, toners, serums, masques, moisturizers, scrubs and shaving creme.

Cygalle Healing Spa skin care products can be purchased at www.CygalleHealingSpaStore.com

Hydrate your skin the holistic way…..with Cygalle Healing Spa’s Whipped Basil Moisture Creme.

SOUL2SOUL….the Scent of a True Classic American Love Story



A gentle spray of Tim McGraw‘s newest scent, Soul2Soul, cast ladies in an aroma that mimics the spirted personalities of the men wearing it.  Tim McGraw Soul2Soul  has a scent that is a very   natural sensual fragrance that I personally enjoyed on my man. It comes off well blended, with spices enriched with brandy notes. Really what stands out is the sexy scent which features classicWoody accords combined with aromatic herbs.  The base notes include the focal point of robust aromas.  My man doesn’t choose a scent because he wants to smell like it, he chooses it because it smells like him ….. my man.


After the experience with Tim McGraw Soul2Soul, I just could not wait to try Faith Hill Soul2Soul!!!  The heady blend of lush fruit and passionate floral bouquet of everlasting flower, princess rose, and lotus flower combined, creates a complex yet sensual scent of sandalwood.  This fragrance awaits its destiny gracing a wrist or neck which lingers on your skin throughout the day and into the night. This scent is soft and elegant, the way a lady should smell.  I never want to run out of Faith Hill Soul2Soul.


Faith Hill Soul2Soul has a strong designed yet feminine bottle adorned with accents of gold and pearl white inspired by two talented beautiful souls.  Tim McGraw Soul2Soul has the same design as Faith Hill but witha rugged black color. This collection was launched by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill…


A true classic American love story.

Lush…Vivid…Exotic…ARBONNE’S Treasure of the Rainforest Collection




Are you looking for a new makeup look to show off this summer?  Lucky for you, Arbonne Cosmetics has created a beautiful cosmetic set called Treasure of the Rainforest and this 4 shadow pallette is designed for all skin types.   All of the new colors are “inspired by nature including Waterfall, Passion Flower, Bamboo and Earth” ,  according to Arbonne Cosmetics themselves.  Some of the key ingredients that are present in the eye shadow formula are cucumber extract, mallow extract, and vitamins A, c and E.  “I was so thrilled to try all of these earth tone colors.  I had noticed that creating an eye popping look was very simple because of the eye shadow’s pigmentation.  You can choose to use one or all four of the colors in the palette.”


Not ony has Arbonne created an eye shadow palette, but included in the set is a vibrant reddish orange lip color called Nectar.  This lip color is one of the hottest trends for Spring and Summer this year.  Some of the key ingredients consist of vitamins A, C and E, wild Mango Butter, Pomegranate Extract Aloe and Barbadensis Leaf extract.


To compliment the eye shadow palette and lip color, an exclusive “Arbonne” designed handbag was created.  Also, for all you animal lovers out there, both the eye shadow pallatte and lip color are vegan certified and not tested on animals.  I promise that you will have so much fun creating both dramatic and neutral eye shadow looks.


To order your Treasure of the Rainforest Collection visit https://www.arbonne.com/shop_online  Arbonne also carries an extensive line of skincare products, gift sets, bath and body products, fragrances and so much more.  Their website is a must see.




I chose all 4 colors as shown on the left.

This Summer “Babe Tools” are the only tools you will need!




Get into “Babe” mode this summer and indulge in the shimmer, shine and peachy glow of Fake Bake‘s cosmetic line, “Babe Tool”.


During the spring and summer months, as far as blush and lip gloss are concerned, I tend to wear little or none.  Since being introduced to  “Babe Tool’s”  “Just Peachy Blush”  by Fake Bake, it’s all I have been using. “Just Peachy Blush”, is a combination blush and highlighter that compliments all complexions. “Just Peachy”  also has triple pigmentation which means it has longer staying power.   After I apply my tinted foundation,  I lightly dust my face and neck with “Just Peachy Blush“.  This blush leaves my skin with a light shimmery glow.  It is the perfect blush for both day and night, and giving you a healthy, natural look.


As a compliment to “Just Peachy Blush”,  “Babe Tool”  has the perfect lip gloss,  Prissy Lips.  “Prissy Lips Lip Gloss” is a soft, shimmery pearly pink tinted lip gloss.  Prissy Lips coats your lips with a shiny gloss, without a heavy color, which is what I like during the summer months.   The lip gloss is in an attractive acrylic tube, and the wand attached has a beautiful handle which makes applying your lip gloss so easy, allowing for a perfect application every time.


As stated by Fake Bake,  Babe Tool Lip Glosses are “Loaded with sparks, shine, and sizzle. Comfortable non-gooey gloss made with light-reflectors and all the right colors to take you from day to night.  Mix and match them or go solo!”


Shimmer and shine this summer with “Babe Tools” by Fake Bake.

DERMELECT Nail Laquers and Nail Polishes are Anti-Aging and “Green”




I have been using a sensational product from Dermelect Cosmeceuticals.  It’s called Dermelect Makeover Ridge Filler, which is also an Anti-Aging Base Coat, and I am loving my nails.  After applying two coats of Dermelect Makeover Ridge Filler, I found that  it applies very easily and the final results are fantastic.  My  nails look smooth and my nail imperfections are hidden.  I have been growing out my nails since I stopped wearing acrylics, and my nails definitely needed a ridge filler and Dermelect Makeover Ridge Filler did the trick. This basecoat has a beautiful pink/opal color so I didn’t have to add a color to my nails right away.


Dermelect Makeover Ridge Filler is an “anti-aging treatment utilizing ProSina, a unique delivery system of protein peptides to strengthen weak nails and make them resistant to splits and breaks”.  This ridge filler also contains Pentavitin, which is a moisture binding agent and acts as a water magnet to your nails. This is a great product, especially if you have brittle or damaged nails.


My 23 year old daughter Jenna,  has been using Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener, which is also a base coat.  Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener also contains ProSina which “provides a unique delivery system of protein peptides directly to the nail bed to encourage stubborn nails to grow while improving their strength”.  Jenna has been using Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener and she thinks it is a sensational base coat.  She says she likes this nail strengthener  because it is easy to apply, dries quickly,  has minimal fumes and hasn’t  turned her nails yellow which some base coats tend to do. Both Dermelect Makeover Ridge Filler and Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener is DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free, which makes them “Green”.




Jenna liked Dermelect Launchpad Nail Strengthener so much that she is also using Dermelect Anti-Aging Colored Nail Lacquers which is Dermelect’s newest  product.  This is sensational news for the environment and for your nails too.  Dermelect Anti Aging Nail Lacquers are “infused with ProSina, a pure protein peptide extracted from New Zealand Sheeps wool.”  These nail lacquers are fast drying and have a high gloss shine.  The nail lacquers also  act as a nail strengthener  which helps your nails become stronger and chip resistent.  Jenna had her nail lacquer on for at least 1-1/2 weeks (see a photo of her hand below) and the nail lacquer still looked great.


Dermelect Anti-Aging Nail Lacquers offers six brillant colors and Jenna chose “Provocative”.  She noted that the nail lacquer had minimal fumes and she especially liked the brush. “It was thin and easy to use.  I was able to coat my entire nail with ease, and the color was bright and shiny.  I received many compliments from my friends”‘.


Dermelect  Anti-Aging Nail Lacquers  are water and detergent resistant and protects against UV Rays.  A Dermelect’s ridgefiller and nail strengthenr, they are also DBP,  Toulene, Formaldehyde and cruely free. ( No animal testing) , which makes them “Green”. As you can see in the photo, Jenna’s nails look fabulous! Remember, with Dermelect Nail Care Products, you will have young looking nails today, and tomorrow too!

Preserve the Beauty and Color of your Swimsuit with Cielo Rosso




As far back as I can remember, I rarely had the same bathing suit more than a year or so, mainly  because at the end of the swimsuit season my suit was faded.  Who wants to wear a faded, worn out looking swim suit?


Between dozens of trips to the beach each summer and lots of fun in the sun not to mention lazy days by the pool,  our swimsuits just didn’t keep their color.


We live on the East Coast where the summer season lasts about 3 to 4 months, and we want our suits to look spectacular at the end of the season because we do dig them out from time to time throughout the year for indoor swimming and winter vacations.  If  you have children, who wants to keep buying swim suits.  Their color should last at least  until they outgrow them.


If you are a part time swimmer or full time swimmer I have a great product  that will keep your suits looking their brightest and whitest.  Cielo Rosso has developed a swimsuit bath that will keep your swimsuit looking splashy all year long.


Cielo Rosso Swimsuit Bath  was designed especially for swimsuits and removes harsh chemicals like salt, chlorine, lotions and sunscreens so your suits retain their color and white suits will stay white.  Another great benefit Cielo Rosso Swimsuit Bath has to offers is that it helps preserve the thread and elasticity in your swimsuit, so your suit remains looking new and vibrant.  Cielo Rosso  Swimsuit Bath is Hypoallergenic, biodegradable and is not tested on animals.


I started using Cielo Rosso Swimsuit Bath and it’s so easy to use, it’s easier than doing a load of laundry.  With just a dime size of  Cielo Rosso Swimsuit Bath added to cold water,  swish the suits around for a few minutes and you will begin to see the water turn gray.  This means that the chlorine has been taken out of the suit.  Next, I just rinse, squeeze out excess water and line dry. It’s so easy.


I can’t imagine washing my suits in anything else but Cielo Rosso Swimsuit Bath.  Our swimsuits will never look better, and never look faded.


Cielo Rosso Swimsuit Bath is available in two sizes, 8 oz. and 2.2 oz. travel size.   visit http://www.swimsuitbath.com and order yours today.

DesignFX…The Ultimate Nail Experience




I recently had the Ultimate Nail experience with my teenage daughter Adrienne and her friends. They were having so much fun decorating their nails with DesignFX, that I decided to join in on the fun.   I never knew nail art could be so much fun. My daughter and her friends enjoy spending hours polishing their nails, followed by hand painting intricate designs on them.  They always look smashing but it is very time consuming.  Welcome to the world of DesignFX, where you can have absolutely showstopping nails quickly. DesignFX offers a fun and exciting array of long wearing appliques for fingers and toes. We sampled animal prints and bejeweled designs.  These easy to use self adhesive strips press right on to your natural nail. No glue, no heat, just press on and trim.  If you need to remove them, just peel them right off. DesignFX will not damage your natural nail. DesignFX appliques last one week on natural nails and lasting 2 weeks on gel life pure gel manicure. DesignFX  appliques just peels right off and you will be  ready for another DesignFX experience.


In Adrienne’s own words, “We had a blast with DesignFX.  There were so many designs to choose from.  I used DesignFX  right over my clear nail polish. The best part that I didn’t have to wait for my nails to dry in between coats so there was never any smudging.  My mom did her toes in a bejeweled design and they look like real nail art.  I chose a bejeweled design and my friend Talia chose an animal print. You never would have known they were press on, so don’t tell!”


Create a perfect set of showstopping nails every time.  Stated by DesignFX,  Cristina Aguilera’s “Newest beauty obsession is the Unique line of DesignFX appliques by Dashing Diva”.   Cristina is using DesignFX to glam up her nail on her hit show “The Voice”.  With DesignFX, we can all have nails like the stars at affordable prices!
