Clinique Partners with Petra Nemcova and Happy Hearts Fund to Education and Making Children Happy
What is the one thing any person, and I do mean any, can do to help ensure a brighter future for our world? Help educate! Education gives us all the building blocks of our future, and is something that will never end at any age.
Education is perhaps the single greatest opportunity one can give to a child. It is the most important and empowering tool in a child’s future. Education is a gateway to brighter possibilities, making all things possible. Education can transform not only individuals, but families and communities along the way. Studies have shown education to promote gender equality, improve individual and community health and contribute directly to the growth of national income by improving the productive capacities of the labor force.
Petra Nemcova, Supermodel, Founder and Chair, launched Happy Hearts Fund in 2006 with a mission to bring hope to the lives of children affected by natural disasters. As a survivor of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami in Thailand, Petra witnessed the devastation of communities, families and children first-hand. By focusing on rebuilding and building of schools in areas affected by natural disasters, the fund helps provide a safe haven for children and restore a sense of normalcy.
Clinique, (www.clinique.com) a leader in global beauty as well as a long-time supporter of generations of women and children’s causes, joins with Petra and Happy Hearts Fund in a multi-year partnership to develop educational institutions for children globally. Since its inception, the Fund’s programs have benefited more than 41,000 children and 340,000 community members. It is active in six countries, and growing. It has built or rebuilt over 70 schools and kindergartens. Together Clinique and Happy Hearts Fund will give more children, all across the globe, access to education- the greatest gift of all!
Clinique has introduced a limited edition Happy Heart fragrance and a limited edition “Make Someone Happy” T-shirt where a percentage of sales go directly to Happy Hearts Fund. The fragrance itself is bright and happy. It contains a hint of sweetness from mandarin orange and cassis mingled with soft floral notes of water lily, rose and geranium. Dry notes of sandalwood, musk and blondewood create a harmonious balance meant to linger and enrich the heart. At suggested prices of $37 for the fragrance, and $16 for the T-shirt, join with Clinique and Petra on a mission to spread smiles across the globe and reinforce your commitment to children and education.
I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Petra and Clinique last week to learn more on this very worthy cause! For more info on Happy Hearts Fund, go to www.happyheartsfund.org

Get “Closer” With Halle Berry
It’s a new scent of attraction, Closer by Halle Berry. This alluring fragrance was made to provoke an attraction between men and women. This fragrance smells totally different after being sprayed onto your skin then it does in the bottle. When I sprayed Closer, onto my wrist, it smelled like a bouquet of sweet flowers was born. Halle Berry’s Closer has a rich warm note of mahogany wood, vanilla bean, cashmere musk, violet flowers, ceder wood, wild raspberry and water lily to name a few. This is a very soft perfume with purpose! Halle Berry’s Closer made me feel classy and ready for date night with the boyfriend!

Indulge in Pevonia’s Aromatic Candles
I always have candles lit in my apartment whenever I am studying, reading a book, or taking a bath. I am always sitting next to a lit candle. The latest one I have tried is Pevonia’s “Enchanted Indulgence” Aromatic Candle. This aromatic soy candle has a lead free wick and is made from natural essential oils and extracts which gives it a fresh and clean smell. When I first lit the candle, I instantly fell in love with it. It has a floral, fruity, relaxing smell to it that is strong enough to fill whatever room it is in, burning or not. This is a perfect gift for anyone you are buying for this holiday season. Pevonia’s “Enchanted Indulgence” Aromatic Candle is packaged in a festive box with a ribbon attached. Perfect!
Pevonia has other beautifully scented aromatic candles and you can view the entire selection at www.pevonia.com.

Become Your Own Perfume Designer
The power of scent…….. Scents can trigger intense feelings and emotions in every human being. Its power can be used to boost your confidence, calm you down, make you feel secure, energize you and more. Scent can tell us much more than we are aware of, and its power should not be underestimated!
While I am a big fan of perfumes, I have become a bigger fan of Lisa Hoffman’s fragrance collection. She allows you the opportunity to become your own perfume designer, and the ability to change your scent as often as you want throughout your day! It’s a designer innovation creating a fragrance revolution! The ultimate way to wear a fragrance—your way!
Lisa, (http://www.lisahoffmanbeauty.com/) a busy professional, entrepreneur, wife and mother understands the fragrance wearer and this understanding is reflected in the modern sensibilities of not only her fragrance collection, but in the wearer’s ability to enjoy the fragrance in uncomplicated ways! She embraces every facet of life into her creative process, from the everyday to the adventurous, and allows the wearer to do the same and change it up as often as they want to!
Her collection consists of fine jewelry pieces that include a signature charm that holds scent infused beads which slowly release its fragrance! (A bonus-no more accidently over-spraying a scent!) The fragrance line consisting of Japanese Agarwood (soulful and woody notes), Madagascar Orchid (exotic), Tuscan Fig (romantic and warm), Tunisian Neroli (sensual and mysterious) and French Clary Sage (crisp and clean) gives a wonderful palate to play and experiment with! Put a bead (or a few!) in the necklace, bracelet, cuff or earrings and change it up throughout the day!
The Holiday Gift scents are a perfect gift for yourself or any lover of perfume on your list! It comes with a full size Eau De Parfum and matching Fragrance Bracelet with refillable fragrance beads! This season, wear fragrance your way!

End The Curse With Neuma Blow Dry Lotion
I am one of the many girls that blow dries and straightens her hair on a regular basis. I was cursed with curly, frizzy, unmanageable hair so on most days I have to resort to using all those hair damaging and drying heating tools. I constantly have dry hair and split ends. I normally use a generic heat protectant spray, but I don’t think it did much. I gave Neuma Blow Dry Lotion a try, and the result were amazing. After using it, my hair felt softer and smoother. My hair didn’t feel dry at all and had a nice shine to it. Better yet, Neuma Blow Dry Lotion made my hair smell great. My hair didn’t have the “hair straightener” smell to it.
My hair gets really greasy whenever I add any product to it but Neuma Blow Dry Lotion didn’t make my hair feel heavy or greasy at all. This product is a “must have” for any girl that ever touches a blow drier, hair straightener, curling iron, or any other heated hair styling tool.
