Sally Hansen Hits the Red Carpet

Slide1

Anne Hathaway looks simply georgous on the red carpet during the 2014 Met Ball. Her dress is beautiful and she is wearing my favorite nail polish, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails. I love the color she is wearing and thought to myself, can my nails look as great as Anne Hathaway’s. As you can see from the photo below, I applied 2 coats of “Unbreakable Heart” and and was extremely pleased with the results. Sally Hansen Nail Polishes are easy to apply and quick to dry. When you add a coat of Triple Shine Top Coat, your nails will have a super shine and also helps your polish become chip resistant.

Bloxsun Sun Gloves Are a Must for Younger Looking Hands

 

Bloxsun

Bloxsun

The hands are the first part of your body to show serious signs of aging! As you get older, your hands lose volume, fat and elasticity. Hands age faster than the face because the skin on the back of the hand is thinner than your face. I workout and eat right to stay healthy and look younger, why would I exposure my hands to the sun to turn the clock ahead? I don’t want wrinkly, crinkly, crepe-like skin texture or the ugly, brown, age spots on my hands, like you find in a horror movie! I don’t want the skin on my hands not to bounce back when I pinch it.  And of course, I don’t want skin cancer! I found a product that blocks the harmful UVA/UVB sun rays from my hands when I am in the sun keeping my hands healthy. Bloxsun Sun Gloves are made with a fabric that is tested and rated UPF 50+. Bloxsun Sun Gloves are soft and comfortable to wear with gripping dots for easy handling.Whenever you are in the sun, slip on Bloxsun Sun Gloves to protect your hands from harmful UVA and UVB sun rays. I wear them gardening, running, biking, walking and even driving.

If you are familiar with the drying lamps in the nail salon, there may be an underlying risk for skin cancer after multiple UV exposures from them. I bring my Bloxsun Sun Gloves to the nail salon and wear them while my nails are under the drying lamp. Wear them anytime your hands are exposed to the sun. Believe me, you can hide a lot of things when getting older, but the hands always will give your age away or will raise your number! Don’t wait until it happens, protect your hands as soon as you can with Bloxsun Sun Gloves.  Forget the expensive creams or the hand lifts and laser treatments from plastic surgeons…. Bloxsun Sun Glove UPF 50+ is the best defense under the sun!!!

My $1 Body Acne Miracle Product!!

Suffering from body acne my whole life, I can honestly say there is not one beauty treatment on the market I haven’t tried at least once. I tried everything from home remedies, to $50 beauty counter remedies but my skin just decided to be as stubborn as it can be. Now here I am, 23 years old and I finally found an anti-acne product that works!!! And it’s only $1!!!!

Acne Body Wash

Acne Body Wash

I was in my local Dollar tree one day and I saw that they had an entire acne line that was made specifically for your body and is simply called “Acne Body Wash”. Since I had tried everything else I figured, what the heck it’s only a $1 if it doesn’t work at least I didn’t spend an arm and a leg on it. Now I do shower everyday but it has been my experience not to use something like this all the time. I use it 3 times a week and have for 3 weeks now. Now my acne is all over the place, but it is the worst on my back and shoulders.

Acne Body Wash is enriched with Aloe Vera to help calm the redness and inflammation of the skin, and the main ingredient is salicylic acid. I can finally have confidence in a strapless dress or shirt and shorts (yes I also had acne on my legs). On top of this, I also use witch hazel and try to get at 3-4 minutes of sun exposure to help dry out my skin.

Now if you are allergic to either one of these products I ask you to steer clear of this product. Also, another little reminder is just because it works for me does not mean it will work for everyone. If you have something that works for you stick with that, but if you want to try this remedy I say give it a shot.

U.S Postage Just Got HOT!

Car Enthusiast Barry Meguiar Helps Launch New Hot Rods Forever® Stamps at the National Street Rod Association East plus Conference

U.S. Hot Rods Stamp

U.S. Hot Rods Stamp

Hot Rods have captured the attention of people across America since the 1920s, when people began souping-up their engines and transforming their cars for drag racing and exhibition. The world of customized cars still thrives today and is showcased throughout American pop culture in movies, television, car shows and museums.

Now, the U.S. Postal Service is paying tribute to one of America’s favorite hobbies. The U.S. Postal Service honors the “Best of America” by introducing limited-edition stamps that celebrate various American passions, including hot rods. The new stamps appeal to automotive buffs of all ages, celebrating the fast, powerful vehicles that thrill-seekers have been modifying for nearly a century. Be sure to check these stamps out at your local Gainesville, FL Post Office.

Each of the two stamps showcase an iconic 1932 Ford “Deuce” roadster, the most popular hot rod model of its time. The stamps will be available for purchase at major Post Office™ locations across the country and online at usps.com/stamps and ebay.com/stamps.

Barry Meguiar, lifelong car enthusiast, president of Meguiar’s Car Wax and host of “Car Crazy” Television, unveiled the new limited-edition Hot Rods Forever® stamps at the National Street Rod Association (NSRA) Nationals East plus Conference in York, PA.

Barry Meguiar is president of Meguiar’s, Inc. and represents the third generation of the family business his grandfather founded in 1901. He was born in Southern California where the car hobby began shortly after. He currently hosts “Car Crazy” on the Velocity Channel. The show originally began airing on the SPEED channel over 17 years ago when car shows were suffering in attendance and car clubs were decreasing in number. Barry decided to step up with a TV show focused on uniting and growing the global car hobby community.

In this interview Barry discusses

–       His personal hot rodding experience

–       What he thinks of this year’s conference

–       Why he’s helping to unveil the new Hot Rods stamps

A Fabulous Recipe from Chef Daniel Green

Chef Daniel Green

Chef Daniel Green

The gals at It’s a Glam Thing love great food and handsome chefs! We are thrilled to have Chef Daniel Green share a recipe with us here and we look forward to having him back with more!

DANIEL GREEN, the Model Cook(™) is an internationally known Chef and author of 10 best selling cookbooks. Currently seen daily in the United States on television’s ShopHQ, this UK native is sharing the following recipe from his cookbook, HEALTHY EATING FOR LOWER CHOLESTEROL!

Chef Daniel Green

SPANISH OMELET

This is an easy dish to make.  If you have any left over, keep in the fridge and save for later- it is good cold as well as hot.  Add a variety of whatever vegetables are in season, to suit your own taste.  Serves 6.
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable (canola) oil, plus extra for greasing
3 large potatoes very thinly sliced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
Dash of Tabasco sauce
*Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.  Use the oil to grease an 8×12 inch baking tray.
*Heat the oil in a large skillet and cook the potatoes until nearly soft, then add the onion and cook until it is transparent.  Turn into a large bowl and set aside to cool.
*Lightly beat the eggs and pour over the potatoes and onions.  Add the paprika, pepper and Tabasco sauce and mix well.
*Tip the mixture into the baking tray and cook in the oven for about 35 minutes until the center is cooked (it should wobble when shaken).  Alternatively, if your skillet has an ovenproof handle, pour the mixture back into the skillet, cook for a few minutes over a low heat, then place in the oven for 30 minutes.
*Cut into pizza-style wedges and serve.
Per serving: 202 calories, 10.1g fat, 2.1g saturated fat, 0.08g sodium

Altchek MD Skincare At ULTA

Altchek MD

Altchek MD

Dr. Douglas Altchek MD, FAAD is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) and a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He established his active private practice in New York in 1980. Utilizing his unique expertise and clinical knowledge, Dr. Altchek has now developed high-performance formulas that are sold at ULTA Beauty stores nationwide. www.ULTA.com

Altchek MD Doctor's Remedy

Altchek MD Doctor’s Remedy

Dr Altcheck’s philosophy on creating a great skin care line is both simple and profound. As stated by Altcheck, “ Skin care products have to be both preventive and corrective. In essence, it is ineffective to create a corrective product unless you are also creating a preventive product!”

Dr. Altchek developed his formulas for women and men after he realized that many other brands focused only on correcting the signs of aging or preventing environmental damage through anti-oxidant activity. His unique approach combines the best of both worlds with the goal of making healthy skin easy to achieve with just a few simple products. His collection is designed to help protect the skin from daily stressors that contribute to premature aging and correct existing damage.

Dr Altchek’s greatest desire has been to create non-invasive products that really work. The collection offers anti-aging treatments that are easy to use and work rapidly together to seriously improve skin’s radiance, remove impurities, as well as correct fine lines and wrinkles while protecting against future damage. Dr. Altchek uses alpha hydroxy acids, resveratrol, Vitamin C and formulas rich in anti-oxidants to address the visible signs of aging and provide healthy and more youthful looking skin.

Each product from the Altcheck skincare line is designed to work synergistically with one another. It is for this reason Dr Altcheck has been mindful to create a great, effective skincare range at affordable prices.
The Altcheck MD collection includes:

Daily Exfoliating Cleanser works to reveal clean, smooth skin that is ready for the next steps in the Doctor’s skincare regimen.
