Dare to express yourself with Guess Dare!

Guess Dare

My new FAVORITE casual fragrance!  The latest fragrance from the Guess brand is Guess Dare!  Inspired by sexy, daring 70’s icons like the Charlie’s Angels, Thelma & Louise, and Bond Girls.  This fragrance promises unique blend of notes with a well styled bottle!    The top notes are released first with sweet notes of pear blossom, kumquat, and tangy lime flower.  It is fresh, floral and inviting.  Once the top notes settle in, the floral heart notes of wild rose, cactus flower and jasmine create a seductive, confident scent.  Finally the base notes are a warm musk and creamy coconut, capturing a sexy, bold spirit!  Not a strong musk which I dislike, it is just the perfect amount – a hint of musk.  Guess Dare is effortlessly crisp and cool yet feminine.  This fragrance is for the daring and confident Guess girl!  The box is decorated with a distressed denim look with a pattern of painted, gold studs. The edgy facet bottle is a piece of art work wearing a rose, gold chain that I love to display and show off on my dresser.   This full of energy fragrance lingers around for about 8-10 hours.  I love wearing this fragrance!!  Perfect for everyday use or a special night!  The fragrance is very versatile.  Be a Guess Girl!
Guess Dare is available for $62.00 at Guess.com

“Do This Not That” On Studio 10

Today On Studio 10 I share some makeup tips and tricks to help avoid some common beauty blunders.

Me on Studio 10

Me on Studio 10

Watch the segment here: http://bcove.me/cf4an222

1. Eyeliner- It is best to use cream eyeliners that come in pots rather than a pencil. Cream eyeliners do not tug on the skin. When applying the eyeliner avoid wearing it on the lower lash line which can cause the “saggy” look. Apply to upper lash line in a 45 degree angle on the outer corner. Also use beige or off white eyeliner in the lower rims to reduce the appearance of eye redness.

2. Eye shadow- Avoid using browns and blacks. Use gold, mauves and even blue greys to add a more open and “lifting” effect to your eyes.

3. Our hands tell our age and of course, many women want to keep that a secret! Most women think that as our hands age we must use a soft, neutral nail color like beige, sheer, & light pink. The truth is that we should actually use a bright bold color to distract the eye from the hand and instead to the nails. Make sure your color is opaque and vibrant such as fuchsia, hot pink, orange and even blues.

4. Lipstick- Lipstick ties the overall makeup look together. As we age our lips tend to get thinner, get wrinkles and lines start to develop. When picking out your lipstick shade keep in mind that light colors make lips look bigger while dark colors tend to make lips look smaller. But you still can wear bright bold colors. In this case tone down eye makeup when going with a bold lip. Stay glossy rather than matte and be sure to use lip liner. To make lips look bigger draw on the outer line of your lip to give a full pout.

5. Last but not least – Our hair can also show many signs of aging. Next time you go to color your hair consider going darker. When using a lightener, it can cause the hair strands to look thinner therefore making hair seem like it is thinning. Darker colors add the look of density and fullness. Talk to your stylist about the options.

Fall into Shape

fall leaves

Fall is by far my favorite time of the year.  And since I’ve been spending more time on the east coast recently, I’m getting the chance to experience some REAL fall weather!  The only downfall to the colder weather for me is that I’m not always as motivated to work out.  Thank goodness I’ve come to learn that I’m not the only one who needs a little bit more of a push at this time of the year!

There are a lot of great bodies in Hollywood, but my friend Elizabeth Morrell is one of the MOST fit people I know….I’m mean, the woman actually has an EIGHT-pack…and an incredible story of how she got there. She’s also a fitness trainer and  the star of her own tv show Ms. Fit One.  So, I figured we could all learn a thing or two about keeping in shape at this time of the year from her. Here’s what she had to say:

Elizabeth Morrell

I am the new kid on the block, literally. I recently moved to Charlotte, North Carolina from Southern California where it is sunny all year long. I can ride my bike outside in any season, the weather is always beautiful – however Charlotte, not so much. I am not accustomed to this cold weather, yes, I said COLD…. to me, but cool to the natives. I guess I can’t stay bundled up under my warm blanket on my big comfy couch, I must find ways to stay in shape in cool weather.

It doesn’t matter if you are already in shape or trying to lose weight, here are a few great workouts for fall season. Spin class, yes, I still must get my ride on. Maybe I can’t ride with the wind blowing in my face but I can still get in my jumps, hills and sprints in a spin class. Spinning is one of the best ways to burn calories without all the pressure on your knees. You can burn up to 1,000 calories in a one-hour class.

spinning1

I really don’t enjoy Yoga, I said it!! But it is an essential practice for the mind, body and spirit – though I admit I am a seasonal Yogi. When it’s cold outside, I seek warmth and why not get a good workout in a controlled heated environment. Hot Yoga calls my name in the fall. Yoga is so necessary for not only your body but your mind. It is a great way to increase strength, gain flexibility and tone your body as well as keep your mind centered and focused, all in one nice HOT place. Namaste.

 yoga

My favorite is resistance/strength/weight training, whatever you call it, (I am that chick in the weight room with the big boys). I love resistance training is all seasons. You can throw on your scarf, hat, coat and gloves and make it to your local gym or you can simply move your furniture around and get busy in the comfort of your own home. Resistance training is so important! It is not just for body builders! It improves muscle strength and tone; it boosts your energy, improves your mood, and increases your self-esteem. I can go on and on about the benefits of strength training but the bottom line is, pick up a pair of dumbbells, a resistance band and a ball and you have a total home gym.

home gym

There you have it three things you need to keep you in shape for the fall: Spin for cardio, it builds your endurance and burns fat. Hot Yoga, for your flexibility and focus and resistance training for building your muscle strength and overall total body wellness.

Check out your local fitness centers to find the nearest classes near you and fall into shape with me!

Don’t Skimp On Health Insurance With Cigna

Choosing a health plan is a major financial decision, yet a new Cigna survey found more than half of consumers don’t dedicate enough time to choosing a plan. In fact, more than half of the people surveyed said they spend less than an hour choosing health plans.

This does not to imply that people are not concerned about their health care. In fact, the survey uncovered major anxiety about financial health that goes far beyond making health plan choices this fall.

For example, the survey found:
• 75% fear health care costs could ruin prospects for a secure retirement
• 44% worry health care costs will limit ability to pay for a child’s college
• 80% say they wish “doing healthier things didn’t cost so much.”
What consumers may not realize is how health plans can help them with those challenges through useful resources and tools.

In this video Dr. Scott T. Josephs, Vice President and National Medical Officer of Cigna discusses this crucial survey. Dr. Josephs give us tips on choosing a health plan, and he can also discuss the link between health and financial security.

Love Your Fragrance With Onika by Nicki Minaj

If you love soft, delightful fragrances you will love Nicki Minaj’s new fragrance Onika. I have always loved any fragrance that is not overpowering but has enough scent to last all day. Onika is just that. With notes of Pear, star fruit, mandarin, water lily, orchid, osmanthus, sugar cane, white musk, and cedar wood, Onika is like walking through a garden. The first little spritz really opens your senses and goes a long way.

Named after herself, Nicki Minaj (born with the name Onika) released her new fragrance in July. Just like she was with her other fragrances, she was involved with the overall production right down to the design and promoting of the product. When I hear that about an artist it really shows us, the consumer, they really believe in what they do and sell. If you have loved Nicki’s other fragrances you will love this WAY more! I honestly think it is her best fragrance so far. It lasts all day and is great for women of all ages.

Onika by Nicki Minaj

Onika by Nicki Minaj

Now onto the packaging. Unlike any other fragrance bottle I have ever seen, Nicki Minaj really thinks outside the box when designing her bottles. Onika’s bottle main color scheme is black with a little gold accent. It is a bust of Nicki herself donning a black wig, black halter top and a gold plated face. It is definitely an eye catcher.

So if you are in need of finding your right fragrance and are unsure of where to start, look no further. Stop by your local fragrance counter and ask to sample Onika by Nicki Minaj. I have a strong feeling you will be walking out of the store with your very own bottle. You can find Onika at your local Macys, Belk, Dillard’s or any other fragrance store!
