As the brand’s ambassador, Jordana is introducing POND’S Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream to a new generation of women looking to replace their standard facial moisturizer with a clinically-proven product that comes backed with the brand’s 150 years of skincare expertise.  She’s encouraging women to try her trusted beauty secret by taking the POND’S Rejuveness Two-Week Anti-Wrinkle Challenge and using the hashtag#SeeForYourself on social media.

Advice from the PROS regarding Colon Cancer Screening

DO Get Caught With Your Pants Down!! Get Screened For The Third Most Prevalent Cancer in the US – 1 in 20 Will Develop Colon Cancer

Getting screened for colon cancer may save your life. Despite its high incidence rate, colon cancer is unique in that it is one of the most preventable and, if found early, most treatable forms of cancer, according to the Colon Cancer Alliance, the nation’s leading patient advocacy organization dedicated to increasing colon cancer screening rates and survivorship. So, DON’T put off getting checked and DO get caught with your pants down!!!

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month and to create awareness, support the efforts of the Colon Cancer Alliance and alert consumers of all ages, the RectiCare® (Lidocaine 5%) Anorectal Cream brand from Ferndale Healthcare®, Inc., has created a brochure titled “Colon Cancer Quick Facts.”  This brochure provides an easy-to-read summary ofSigns, Symptoms and Screening information and statistics, which calls out the fact that one in 20 people, male and female, will develop colon cancer in their lifetime. The company hopes that raising awareness with a “quick read,” may help motivate women and men to get screened for this type of cancer. 

Available at over 2,500 colo-rectal surgeons’ offices, this brochure explains:

·         Everyone over the age of 50 should see a doctor for a regular screening; 45 if you are of African American descent.

·         If you have a family history of colon cancer or are experiencing symptoms, you should be screened regardless of age.

·         Symptoms include weight loss, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, cramps, persistent fatigue, or blood in your stool.

There are several different ways in which you can be screened and it is important to determine which procedure is best for you. For more information, please visit: www.ccalliance.org.

Selvera Logo

Selvera was designed by physicians, psychiatrists, and Registered Dietitians and is designed to provide long-term results, helping you to lose weight and keep it off. “Selvera is a new kind of program based on clinical results,” said Andrew Zengilowski, Co-Founder and CEO. “Our core group of medical advisors and licensed nutritionists has created a one-of-a-kind program using the latest scientific knowledge.”

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm is now “Squeezable”

Beeswax_Squeezable_Lip_BalmWinter, Spring, Summer or Fall, I have Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm on me at all times. I love everything about Burt’s Bees and now it got even better. Burt’s Bees has a new Lip Balm. It’s amazing, tasty, magical and squeezable. It’s Burt’s Bees Squeezable Beeswax Lip Balm. What I like most about it is that it’s not greasy and makes my lips very soft, it’s the perfect lip balm. It works so well that I don’t have to apply it as often as other lip balms, it really stays on my lips quite a long time.

Burt’s Bees Squeezable Beeswax Lip Balm is the same formula as the original Beeswax lip balm so you won’t be disappointed. It contains moisturizing Beeswax, Vitamin E and peppermint Oil to keep lips soft and replenished. The hint of peppermint is very pleasant. I found my Burt’s Bees at a local retail store. Visit Burt’s Bees today and check out their amazing line of skin care. burtsbees.com

Auric Blends Himalayan Musk smells better than I ever Imagined

41vx7dXmBrL

My mom has been telling me about a solid perfume she wanted me to try. It’s called Himalayan Musk from Auric Blends (auricblends). I love all kinds of perfumes but never had a musk scent. When I think of musk oils and musk scents, I think of perfumes from my mother’s generation, somewhat of an older person’s scent. Was I wrong about that thought. When I came home from college on Spring break, I found on my bureau, (what I thought was) a beautifully detailed knick knack. What it really was, was a beautifully hand crafted soap stone container and when I lifted the lid, it contained the solid perfume my mom has been telling me about..

IMG_0539 - Version 2

IMG_0538 - Version 2

The fragrance was so much nicer than I thought it it would be. Auric Blend’s solid perfumes are made with beeswax and coconut oil along with a combination of many different fragrances. Himalayan Musk itself, has a gentle floral aroma, which I love, along with hints of white sandalwood and pale amber. I really do find this fragrance delightful. Another highlight of this fragrance I must note is that after applying some to my wrists and neck, at the end of the day I can still smell the delicate fragrance. Its staying power is incredible. I can’t wait to try other musk scents from Auric Blends. You will find musk oils, perfume oils and innsence at auricblends.com

Make Your Own Easy Peachy-Pink Lipstick

DIY queen, Anne-Marie Faiola, founder of Handmade Beauty Box  is excited to share with you a new, easy peachy-pink lipstick recipe from the . Using only pure ingredients, like Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Sweet Almond Oil and Avocado Oil, you can follow Anne-Marie’s easy recipe for custom peachy-pink lip color in a snap.

DIY Peachy-Pink Lipstick  

For ingredients, or to have your own DIY beauty projects delivered right to your door, visit HandmadeBeautyBox.com

You will need:

  •   4 oz Lipstick Base
  •   .2 oz Coral Mica
  •   .2 oz Brick Red Oxide
  •   .2 oz Rose Pearl Mica
  •   .2 oz Cellini Red Mica
  •   24 Lipstick Tubes with Lids
  •   1 Small Glass Bowl
  •   5 Droppers
  •   Finished Labels & Instructions
  •   1-2 Heat Safe Containers
  •   3 Spoons
  •   1 Cup Hot Water
  •   Measuring Spoons
  •   Microwave
  •   Paper Towels
  •   Freezer (optional)

Here is how to do it: 

Step 1: Put two spoons in the freezer. It may sound crazy, but this trick is going to allow you to test the lipstick color before it has fully hardened.

Step 2: Scoop the lipstick base out of the plastic container and add it to the small, heat safe container that comes in the box. Melt the base in the microwave on 30 second bursts, stirring in between bursts until fully melted. Please be careful when taking the container out of the microwave, it will be hot (use pot holders or paper towels).

Note: It is important that you melt the lipstick base in the bowl that comes in the box (or something equivalent in size). If you use a bigger heat safe container you’ll run the risk of cracking the glass in the microwave. Safety first!

Step 3: Split the mixture between the two small heat safe containers—about ¼ cup in each container. Then begin adding colorant(s) of choice to the first container and mix thoroughly with a spoon until clumps have dissipated.

Colorant usage rate: 4 to 5 level teaspoons of colorant per 2 ounces of lipstick base—about ¼ cup. For the perfect peachy-pink, try Anne-Marie’s custom recipe, “Lady About Town”: 2.5 level teaspoons Rose Pearl Mica, 2 level teaspoons Coral Mica. Use ¼ cup of lipstick base for this recipe.

Step 4: Once the color seems to be fully incorporated into the lipstick base, take your frozen spoons out of the freezer and dip the tip of the spoon into the liquid lipstick mixture. The lipstick mixture will instantly harden on the tip of the spoon so you can test the color on the top of your hand or your lips. Now is the time to color correct. If the lipstick shade is too light, add more colorant. If the lipstick shade is too dark, add more lipstick base to lighten.

Step 5: Once you’ve decided on your perfect shade, it’s time to pour the mixture into the lipstick tubes. Using a spouted heat safe container, slowly and carefully pour the lipstick mixture into the tubes or use your droppers to fill up 12 of the tubes. Let cool for 1-2 hours.

Note: If you use the droppers to fill your lipstick tubes, cut off about a ½ inch of the tip of the dropper for easier use. “Clean” your dropper immediately in a cup of hot water so it can be reused. If the mixture hardens, squeeze the lipstick out of the dropper like you would squeeze a tube of toothpaste. Did your mixture get hard or a little too thick while you were color correcting? Not to worry. Just pop it back in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. Reheat as needed.

Step 6: Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 with the rest of lipstick base.

Step 7: Clean up! Wipe down the bowls and spoons with a paper towel before putting them in the sink and do not dump any extra oils down your sink. Use a grease fighting soap, like Dawn, and super-hot water to wash the utensils and bowls.
