Cut Your Blow Drying Time In Half With The Blo & Go
About 2 years ago while working behind the chair I noticed that my right wrist was feeling extremely weak and in a lot of pain every time I either picked up my shears or my blow dryer. As a professional stylist, my blow dryer tends to be a little heavier than an everyday blow dryer that can be found in your local supermarket. At home I use my lighter weight blow dryer but even that one enflames my wrist. I also do not enjoy doing my own hair. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago a good friend of mine introduced me to a product that made me happy to style my hair again. It is called the Blo & Go! A great product that helps those who are injured or may have arthritis have the freedom and ability to style their own hair again! Check out my how to video below on YouTube and check out www.bloandgo.com for more details and how you can get your very own!

Fall Into Your New Style
Get your new fall color at none other The Salon Professional Academy in The Villages, FL. My beautiful new style was done by soon to be graduate and soon to be Salon Jaylee employee, Alexa Stafford. With my massive curly hair, Alexa stepped up to the challenge. With help from her awesome educators, Mrs. Chestnut (Livia Chestnut) and Mrs. Young (Ashley Young) she knocked it right out of the park.

I have always loved red, but I wanted to “fall” it up with some highlights in the front. After the color was done and my hair was “chopped” off it was time to style. Using proTENAJ products, Alexa once again knocked it out of the park.

I always enjoy getting to go back to the school and encourage the students to follow their dreams and to show them how they to can take this industry by storm. Keep going you guys! There is so much to learn and experience!

Get Celebrity Shine With A Little Toss
Now that red carpet beauty is right at your fingertips with Gloss & Toss Shine Serum and Fortify Hair and Nail Supplement. Created by celebrity hair stylist Billy Lowe, Gloss & Toss are must have beauty products. Gloss & Toss really shows us that beauty is not only on the outside but starts in the inside as well. All products have NEVER been tested on animals and has received the LEAPING BUNNY certification. This is the highest cruelty-free seal of approval.
When I first received Gloss & Toss I couldn’t wait to try out the shine serum and the supplements. Always having trouble with acne, split ends and splitting nails, the Fortify supplements are what I dove into first. We have all heard the phrase ” you are what you eat” right? Whatever we put into our bodies will eventually make its way on the outside. Fortified with BIOTIN, Ginkgo Biloba and Grape Seed, each tablet is a miracle in a capsule and soon you will start seeing what you eat. (forgot to mention they are also Soy-Free). In the first 3 days I started noticing a difference in my skin, my acne was clearing up, my hair was softer and my nails where no longer breaking every time I touched something. Now that was just the first 3 days, you can imagine my surprise after the first week.
Gloss & Toss Supplement
With all the excitement from the supplements I had totally forgotten that I also received the Gloss & Toss Shine Serum. This light-weight non greasy formula is not your grandma’s remedy for shine, frizz free, humidity resistant hair. First applying it to wet hair, I blow-dried my hair in no time flat and then proceeded to put more in after flat ironing focusing mostly on my ends which are really dry. It was almost like giving my hair a drink of water. The greatest part of this product is it will not build up on hair and it will last through a couple washes.
Gloss & Toss Shine Serum
No wonder so many celebrities are in love with this product. It is definitely “celebrity shine in a bottle”.
So don’t be shy, go to www.glossandtoss.net to get your very own celebrity hair, skin and nails! Also be sure to check out their other products simply by clicking their “shop” tab.

Enrich and refresh your skin with 5-Star reviewed Sublime Beauty® Pure Luxury Mask !
A facial mask, in my opinion, is one of the essentials and “must haves” you really need to include in your skin care regime.
Sublime Beauty®
Pure Luxury Mask
Anti-Oxidant Rich
$40.99
I personally found that use of the Sublime Beauty Pure Luxury Mask provided a ten minute wonderfully relaxing experience for me, and the perfect boost my skin needed. I like to mask once a week to keep my skin looking fresh and more youthful. Depending on your skin needs, it may also be used twice a month for its anti-aging benefits.
Here are some key ingredients contained in the Sublime Beauty Pure Luxury Mask:
• Aloe
• Collagen
• Vitamin E
• Cucumber
• French White Clay
The Sublime Beauty Pure Luxury Mask is very effortless to apply and remove. With my fingertips I work the white creamy mask upward from just under my jaw around my entire face. I do not apply the mask around my eye area or lip area. After ten minutes, using a soft wash cloth with slightly warm tepid water, I gently sweep the mask off my face and am “rewarded” with a healthy rosy radiance to my skin that looks and feels just like I had a profession facial!
As the season changes and we move into fall, it’s a great time to begin treating yourself to regular Sublime Beauty Pure Luxury Masks right in the comfort of your own home!
It’s easy to understand why the Sublime Beauty Pure Luxury mask receives 5-Star reviews!
In fact, I’m delighted to add another 5-Star review to their list….Congratulations Sublime Beauty!

Transitioning into Fall Beauty
Transitioning into Fall Beauty
Now that summertime is over, it’s time for us to switch gears and start looking ahead towards the coming months of Fall and Winter. A change in climate also means a change in our daily beauty routine. Here are some of my favorite tips!
Preventing flaky, dry skin.
Most of us associate wearing SPF with summertime or being under direct sunlight when in fact, the sun is always out, even when it’s barely visible behind the clouds. Wearing SPF when leaving the house is an absolute must! Sunscreen prevents free radical damage to the skin and can delay the aging process along with a healthy diet free of simple carbs, sugar, excess salt, and dairy. Along with combatting dry skin, I usually take an Omega-3 supplement which boosts hydration. If you’re not the kind of person to be militant about taking supplements, I recommend consuming a diet rich in good fatty acids like avocados, almonds, fish, kale, and flaxseed.
Preventing dry hair, dry scalp.
Cold weather is synonymous with having dull and brittle hair. To keep your hair soft, healthy, and strong throughout the colder months, refrain from shampooing as frequently as shampoo can strip your hair of its natural oils, causing the glands to overproduce. If you can’t stand to go for days without washing your hair, I recommend a dry shampoo. I also like to add a little bit of hair oil (Moroccan Oil makes a great one) before my hair dries to prevent split ends and add moisture. Finally, if all else fails, use a homemade hair mask. A simple, effective hair mask I use is one made of ½ cup of plain yogurt. I simply massage it into damp hair and leave it in for half an hour after which I rinse it out with warm water. The lactic acid in yogurt helps add moisture to your hair while cleaning as well.

Relieve Stress and Tension With These Simple Forehead Exercises
Ever wonder why people say “don’t frown, smile”? It has been said that it only takes 13 muscles to smile and 37 to frown. One part of our faces that shows some severe signs of aging is our forehead. Every frown, smile, laugh or form of stress will embed itself causing fine lines and wrinkles. See these forehead exercises that will not only reduce fine lines and wrinkles but will also help ease tension and reduce stress.
