Two “Quick Results” JOEY New York® Products for a lifted and more youthful look !

JOEY New York® has a line of fun, easy to use products that target special needs to help you achieve a more youthful and healthy looking skin!

Coconut Water is the “STAR” ingredient of the JOEY New York® new QUICK RESULTS product line! It has a wonderful history behind it that I’d like to share with you via this link:
http://www.joeynewyork.com/coconut-water/
Here you’ll read all about the many benefits of Coconut Water , it’s backstory, and how through modern technology, JOEY New York® has included it in their QUICK RESULTS products. Anti-aging, help with wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin are just a few advantages of the Coconut Water!

Quoting from the article, you’ll read in the above link,“Hawaiians call Coconut Water NOELANI which means “DEW FROM THE HEAVENS.

Let’s begin the JOEY New York “Double Feature” with:

QUICK RESULTS PEEL-OFF MASQUE with Young Coconut Water and Indian Ginseng Extract Complex

JOEY New York QUICK RESULTS PEEL-OFF MASQUE with Young Coconut Water and Indian Ginseng Extract Complex.

I like a peel-off masque, and the JOEY New York masque is great! You only need to use it once a week, and your face and skin will feel so fresh, clean, and renewed. Start with a clean face. Do your best to apply an “even” layer of the clear peel-off masque on your neck and entire face except for the eye area!! I’ll usually start my application at the lower area of my neck and work upward to my forehead. I also like to brush my hair back and away from my face while I’m doing any kind of facial treatment!

In about 10-15 minutes the masque will be dry and ready to remove. This is the fun part! Start at the bottom of your neck and roll the edges of the dry masque as you start to peel upward to your forehead. If you applied your masque evenly, it should “lift” off in one piece. Don’t fret if it doesn’t!! Practice makes perfect. If it doesn’t lift off in one piece, just start at the lower edge where you left off peeling. Roll and continue to move in an upward motion till the Masque is removed!

Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be in awe when you see the imprint of your skin on the masque. I was surprised to see the all the dry areas on mine! The awesome result is how your clean smooth and glowing skin looks and feels after the Joey New York Peel-Off Masque! This is one of those instant gratification products!

Now your skin is clean and all set for the second product in our JOEY New York “Double Feature”:

JOEY New York -Quick Results- For a Lifted and Tightened look with Coconut Water, Indian Ginseng Extract Complex and peptides to help give skin a soft youthful look.

JOEY New York®-QUICK RESULTS- KEEP IT UP imparts a Lifted, Tightened, and soft youthful look with Coconut Water, Indian Ginseng Extract Complex and peptides..

Would you like a firmer feel to your skin? Then KEEP IT UP is a product you’ll want to add to your daily regime! All you need to do is apply this very light weight serum to your neck and face. (Once again, avoiding the eye area.) Make sure you let it dry completely before applying makeup, or just wear it alone and watch your pores, sagging skin, and wrinkles diminish ! The feel to me is “energizing”, lifting, and a real confidence builder as it “wakes” up my tired skin!

The peptides in KEEP IT UP give you instant firming as well as long term benefits! I apply KEEP IT UP in an up and outward lifting motion. Starting at the base of my neck and working up my neck and behind my ears, I then lift the serum around my jawline, up the sides of my face and in an upward motion across my forehead.

Read more about JOEY New York’s -QUICK RESULTS- KEEP IT UP for more information and results you’ll achieve with you use this product:

JOEY New York has a wonderful variety of Quick Results products that target specific skin concerns, and contain the amazing young coconut water to not only help you achieve a more youthful appearance, but protect you skin with it’s natural anti-oxidants!

Waxelene Flip Top Squeeze Tube is Here!

Unknown-55

Waxelene Flip Top Squeeze Tube is here!  My favorite product in the world…… You know when someone asks you the question, “If you were stranded on a deserted island, what is the one thing you would have to have with you?”  Of course my answer would be Waxelene!  I just cannot say enough about this product and nowit’s available in a flip top squeeze tube!  OMG! It is convenient to carry in a pocket, purse, car, backpack, and gym bag. Waxelene Flip Top Squeeze Tube is great for traveling anywhere. I use a dab on my finger to moisturize my cracked lips and shine my lipstick color making it super glossy. It leaves my lips irresistible and soft. This creamy beeswax gel is a great beauty product that I cannot live without. Once you try it, you will be totally satisfied and never leave home without it too. When I get a moment throughout the day, I take out my Waxelene Flip Top Squeeze Tube and massage some into my cuticles and WOW….. my nails look as if I just came from a nail salon.

Waxelene is made of Organic Soy Oil, Beeswax, Organic Rosemary Oil, and Natural Vitamin E with no petroleum or artificial ingredients. Also MADE IN THE USA!  I have been a long time user of the good old Vaseline and always concernd about the petroleum but now my mind is at ease using Waxelene! I rub it on my dried heels and elbows. It removes my make-up and I massage it on my feet before my daily run to avoid blisters! You can purchase Waxelene products at local Whole Foods, CVS, Anthropologie Stores and online at Waxelene.com.  Waxelene Flip Top Squeeze Tube is $4.99 per tube.  The way I brag about Waxelene, you would think I have stocks in it!   Unfortunately I don”t, but I do get super excited and love to promote a product that really works and is now packaged in a convenient flip top squeeze tube that makes my life simple!  Let’s hope I never end up on a deserted island….. Thank you Waxelene for a great product!!!!

Sarah McNamara Miracle Skin Transformer = Flawless Skin

images-7

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control was the best product I ever used to fight those trouble acne and brown spots on my skin occurring over and over again in the same spot. I thought my days of breaking out were gone in my twenties, however, my forties brought me back several decades and a loss to find a good acne cream. My friends had plenty of great ideas for wonderful wrinkle creams, but I was alone for my search at forty- nine for a cream to wipe away those embarrassing blemishes.

This light-weight, oil-free formula controls shine and leaves a flawless finish as it hydrates,firms and calms skin.  My skin has literally been transformed at the right time, I was going to make an appointment to have an expensive laser treatment before finding this miracle product. The cream contains smart salicylic acid, anti-microbial peptides, marine extracts and vitamin B3 all working together to prevent breakouts forever that were continually appearing on my skin.  My tween daughter even commented on my skin and wanted the cream for herself, wondering why her mother was still in need of a cream to prevent acne.  I highly recommend this product for all ages and consider myself an expert on acne cream. Thanks to Sarah McNamara and her unbelievable product, I am no longer alone!

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control is available in 5 shades and can be purchased at miracleskintransformer.com

Relax and Laugh Your Day Away with Chocolate Chocolate Moons

7011103_9781621106104_cover-004

Reading is one of the great pleasures that I have now that I am retired. There is still always lots to do each day, but the schedule is so much more relaxed that I can spend time enjoying a good book.  “Chocolate Chocolate Moons” by Jackie Kingon is a unique, yet silly, futuristic mystery. You will laugh out loud as you read and even reread some of the humorous discriptions this author presents.  It is a fun task to keep up with everyone moving around from earth to the moon and Mars with their different weights changed by the gravity force. But I love a mystery and we are not without a mystery in this hilarious venture.  People end up in the hospital after eating Chocolate Moons and the bungling, candy eating detectives are called to do their investigations.  Meanwhile there are news shows and talk show interviews asking the questions about how this could have possibly happened.  But that isn’t all!  Relationships and past relationships are revisited; twin daughters are rehearsing for a contest; electronic devices listening in on suspects and hotels in space.  Such an imagination Jackie Kingon has!  There is so much more, but I don’t want to ruin it for you.  This is a book to read when you want to lay back, relax and laugh your day away.

Purchase you copy today at amazon.com/Chocolate-Moons

Liberty Nails for Liberty Days

0-2

For this nail design I used Sally Hansen The complete salon manicure “Red my Lips”. For the middle finger I used a basic white and glitter from Duri Cosmetics called Icicle. And for the blue stripes and red heart I used thin nail art bottles that can be found in most stores. For the base coat I used Sally Hansen Double Duty which can also be used as a top and base coat. For the topcoat I used Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Hard as Wraps Acrylic Gel + Nylon. This topcoat is my absolute favorite because it really does not chip for over a week. It makes the nails have an acrylic gel effect that makes it last longer. I did this design on my mom for the Fourth of July. I think that it’s a really cute idea for liberty day!

Katharine Hepburn ~ An Independent Woman by Ronald Bergan

Katharine Hepburn:“Show me a actress who isn’t a personality and you’ll show me a woman who isn’t a star!”

Katharine Hepburn An Independent Woman

Katharine Hepburn
An Independent Woman

Katharine Hepburn had a charming charisma that radiated her own unique persona throughout her life that was irresistible, high spirited, and defined her special presence as a trail blazing independent women and one of the true super stars of all times.

Author Ronald Bergan’s timing was perfect as he was the only person to whom Ms. Hepburn gave her “personal blessings” to write this wonderful book, Katharine Hepburn, An Independent Woman!

So many previous biographies had not been accurate and Ms.Hepburn was quite angry. She “allowed” Ronald Bergan into her apartment in New York City, to set the record straight and write this book! Mr. Bergan described her reflections,“perceptive” and penetrating”…”These are not the sound bites of a Hollywood celebrity but of an aging beauty re-examinig her past with a critical eye.”

This is a beautiful book with stunning photographs of Katharine Hepburn in various stages of her life,”on and off the set”, along with some of her phenomenal vivacious full color “Head Shots.” Most of these are “full page” pictures, and truly treasures to behold!

Ms.Hepburn was way ahead of her time, and in Mr.Bergan’s book you’ll be able to capture the essence of her many diversions from the composed “Katharine Hepburn”. Through it all, however, you’ll see that Katharine Hepburn “always remained her own woman!”

This amazingly well written book will capture your attention as it wisks away all the “mythological perceptions” of the “starlet”, and “unveils the real woman!”

Katharine Hepburn An Independent Woman easily receives a 5-Star review, and I encourage you to visit : http://www.arcadepub.com/book/?GCOI=55970108553640& to purchase your personal copy.

About the Author:“Ronald Bergan is the author of a number of books including “The United Artists Story”, “Jean Renoir:Perfections of Paradise”, and
Great Theatres of London”. He is also co-author of the highly acclaimed “Faber Companion to Foreign Films”. While Living in france, he taught literature, theater, and film at the Sorbonne, the British Institute in Paris, and the University of Lille. Bergan now lives in London.”
