PEVONIA Supports the Breast Research Foundation

Every 2 minutes, there is a new breast cancer diagnosis in the United States. Every 14 minutes, a life is lost to the disease. In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pevonia will be donating a portion of October proceeds from their Esthebuste Line to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). The BCRF’s funded research has helped save lives and has significantly improved the quality of care and survivorship for tens of thousands of breast cancer patients in the past decade and a half(Bcrfcure.org).

Pevonia’s Esthebuste Line is suitable for all skin types and offers natural extracts in order to provide healthier skin. The Restore Neck & Bust Cream firms and tones the delicate neck, bust, and décolleté areas. Enriched with a potent blend of Kigelia Africana, Chamomile, and Vitamin E, this cream helps to reduce visible signs of aging, smooth overall texture, and improve skin elasticity.

The neck and bust areas will appear visibly restored and youthful. With just a few drops of the Restore Neck & Bust Concentrate, you will notice the difference in your skin as it targets and fights the signs of premature aging in the area between the chin and lower bust line. Kigelia Africana and Chamomile work together to improve skin tone, hydrate and increase elasticity, visibly repair sun damage, and rejuvenate the neck, bust, and décolleté areas.

As the most common cancer in American women and the leading cause of death in women ages 40 and 55, your October Esthebuste Line purchase can bring researchers closer to finding a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.

Pevonia’s Esthebuste Line is available online at www.pevonia.com and prestigious spas & salons worldwide.

You can have a smile as White as Lightning

whiteninglightning_logo-1

You can have a smile as white as lightning with Whitening Lightning’s Super Booster Whitening Pen. The Super Booster Whitening Pen is so easy to use. There are no strips to deal with (let’s face it, who feels like sticking strips on your teeth for an hour, not me) and no lights involved as lights can cause extreme discomfort. Did I mention absolutely no bleaching trays are needed with the Super Booster Whitening Pen? Sounds good to me!

Whitening Lightning Super Booster Whitening Pen is safe, easy to use and the gel is very comfortable. After brushing your teeth with your favorite toothpaste, simply dry your teeth with a tissue or towel and brush a thin layer of the whitening gel contained in the whitening pen (it takes all of 30 seconds). Smile wide for 60 seconds to allow the gel to adhere and just rinse off after several hours.

0-97

You won’t even know you have whitening gel on your teeth. The specially formulated whitening gel is gluten free and will not harm the enamel on your teeth. What the whitening gel will do is freshen your breath, kill bacteria and wipe away surface stains. therefore whitening  your teeth, I can handle that!

According to Whitening Lightning,  The Super Booster Pen will whiten my teeth up to 10 shades in 14 days. I’ve been using this product for a few days now and already see a difference.  In 14 days, I’ll be the one who can’t stop smiling.

Tone your facial muscles and feel fabulous with the Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner

BMR Facial Toner

Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner was mine for review these past 12 weeks and I was thrilled with the opportunity to try it. Bio-Medical Research is known for its expertise in muscle wellness and understands that what is beneath the skin defines the way you look. Educated in the art of improving the body from the inside out, the pioneer of at-home beauty technology has created a beauty device that has revolutionized the way we care for our face: the FDA-cleared Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner 

We are all looking for the perfect anti-aging cream and we are no different when it comes to anti-aging technology. Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner is a great alternative to expensive in-office treatments and facial creams.  Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner uses the same electrotherapy technology found in top spas and dermatologist offices. As we get older our facial muscles lose strength and weaken and no longer support the skin. Did you know that we have 21 facial muscles that control all of our expressions that make us who we are. It is important as we get older to keep the muscles strong and to do this we need to exercise the muscles. The Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner is the key to achieving this.

As you know, I was  chosen for the Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner review program for a 12 week period. I began my in-home treatments on June 20th and I am pleased to report that after 12 weeks, my experience with this product has been quite positive. Although the photos I took (see below) don’t  show a difference, I can see a difference  in my facial muscles when I look in the mirror. I also see a difference when I use certain facial expressions and when my face is situated in a different direction. It  is very difficult to capture these images in photos, at least it was for me.

The Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner has become routine for me and I do have a few recommendations before you use this product:

It is very important that you read and follow the Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner instructions precisely. I had no discomfort or complications with the device and it was  easy to use. The Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner comes with a 3 month supply of medical grade gel pads which need to be replaced each week. Make sure you replace the pads weekly or the electronic pulses you feel will not  be consistent, therefore it may be an uncomfortable session.

For those of you with long or bushy hair like myself, I found that by removing the protective layer on the gel pads after placing the headset around my neck, reducing the chance of my hair sticking to the gel pads. I also put the protective plastic back on the gel pads before removing the head set, this was the most comfortable for me. By using the Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner daily, (5 times a week is recommended) you will find tricks that work well for you.

I started my intensity level in the low 20’s and every day I added a number so by week 12, I was using intensity level 35. The intensity level goes as high as  90 but as you can see there is no need to go that high, I never went higher than 35. Stay at your comfort level with each use. Some days,the intensity level was higher than others, use your own judgment and make sure you are comfortable at all times. After the gel pads are placed on your cheeks (in the proper position), the electrical impulses start out very low. You can’t even feel them so please don’t think you will feel a strong shock when you turn on the control. It is every gradual and you  stop at your comfort level.

I am using the Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner 20  minutes a day for 5 days a week allowing for 2 days off as instructed. When I am using the device, I am able to conduct my daily household routine and the time passes very quickly.

When you order your Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner, (available in Black or White), The kit will include;

A Rechargeable headset-based delivery system and hand held controller.

3 different beauty programs to choose from; 10,15 and 20 minute session treatment options to adjust to your daily schedule. 

The v variable intensity control ranges from  0-99 so you can customize your treatment session to your current comfort level and keep adapting as you progress.

12 sets of medical-grade Gel Pads are included which last about 3 months (1 set per week).

Charger Unit, Instruction Manual, and Storage Case.

I plan on continuing my Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner ession because if I can see a diffeence after 12 weeks I imagine after another 24 weeks the results will also be amazing. For more information on the Bio-Medical Research Facial Toner and where you can purchase your own headset, please visit www.bmrbeauty.com

OUIDAD Supports Breast Cancer Awareness “Curls for a Cure”

image001

Curls for a Cure®

Ouidad Supports Breast Cancer Awareness

365 Days a Year

Ouidad has donated over $443,781 to Breast Cancer Awareness

Ouidad – renowned hair stylist, salon owner, global educator, curl expert, mother, and industry icon – is a breast cancer survivor.  Diagnosed at the very same age as her mother whom she lost to the disease, Ouidad realized that she was in a unique position to apply both personal experience and passion to a remarkable cause and took action against this aggressive killer.  While she commends other brands for debuting limited edition, pastel pink products to raise funds for this important cause, Ouidad has chosen to pursue a higher level of involvement by supporting breast cancer awareness 365 days a year.

Fortunate enough to make a full recovery, Ouidad started a crusade against breast cancer, vowing to make a difference in the lives of other women.  She founded Curls for a Cure in 2005 to raise funds year round for the Breast CancerResearch Foundation.  Curls for a Cure is a donation program on Ouidad.com that welcomes visitors to make a donation of their choosing toward Breast Cancer research.  Taking her commitment a step further, Ouidad matches any amount donated, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000!

By joining forces with both clients and corporate partners, Ouidad has raised over $442,511 for BCRF to date and over $3,121 in 2013 alone.  In addition, the company underwrites all of the administration costs of the program as well as the credit card discount fees on the donations.  In this manner, when $10.00 is donated, BCRF receives a full $10.00.  For each donation, Ouidad offers a special pink bracelet inscribed to show her gratitude.

With her own difficult hair loss experience, Ouidad is able to comfort troubled clients in an entirely personal way, and is truly honored to provide support both financially and emotionally.  Below are a few helpful tips from Ouidad on how to look good and feel good during this difficult time.

  • Skin will have a yellow tint from chemotherapy – use a bronzer with a pink tint to balance skin color
  • Hair tends to lose pigmentation, often growing in gray and curly; wait at least six months post chemotherapy for color to prevent damage of new growth
  • Visually prepare for hair loss by cutting hair shorter to minimize the drastic effect of losing hair
  • With new hair growth, do deep treatments every two weeks to feed and strengthen hair; frequent deep conditioning is necessary to replenish nutrients, allowing each strand to regain its internal weight and body

My daughter Adrienne is wearing her new Lolly watch and wanted to share her thoughts on it. “I am in love with my new Lolly Watch. It’s from Lolly Watch Juice Collection and it smells fantastic. Who would have thought that a time piece cold look so chic and smell so great. The watch I am wearing below is Coconut scented, one of my favorite scents. Lolly’s Juice Collection consists of 8 watches. Each watch comes in a different  colors  and carries it’s own scent. The yellow watch is pineapple scented, the pink watch is strawberry scented  and the list goes on. My Lolly is an essential part of my back to school wardrobe. I wear it to school every day and the Lolly is quite versitile because it matches just about everything. Throughout the day I often get a hint of the coconut scent and it smells so good.”

Another unique fact about the Lolly watch is the fact that it is made of eco-resin. Lolly explains that eco-resin is “A naturally sustainable polymer, Eco-Resin™ is derived from softwood, processed to enhance its unique properties, environmentally friendly and sustainable, thus helping reduce the use of plastic in an already plastic littered world. With no harmful elements, Eco-Resin™ used as the base material for the lolly™ watches results is another innovative product from us guys at True2Form Design. “
