Easy Steps For Always Looking and Feeling Your Best

Who doesn’t want to always look and feel their best? If you feel like that, then you’ll have a “the world is my oyster” mindset. It’s a way of being that allows you to really take advantage of all that life has to offer, in large part because if we look and feel great, then we’ll be more confident when we go out into the world. And with confidence by our side, there’s no telling what we might just achieve.

And the good news is that how to hit your peak physical and mental well being is not a complete mystery. There are things you can do that’ll push you very much in the right direction. We’ll take a look at some of the most effective steps to take below.

What Are You Putting In Your Body?

You’ll get out what you put in. If you’re just putting junk into your body, then it’ll be no surprise if you don’t look or feel as good as you could do! Of course, it can be tempting to eat fast food, drink a beer, and so forth, but it’s important to remember that you’ll naturally run into issues if those things become a large part of your life. So take a look at your diet. Does it help you or hold you back?

Exercise and Stretching

Look after your body, and your body will look after you. While it can, admittedly, be difficult to get started with an exercise regime, it’s recommended that you do so. If you commit to it for a month, you’ll see a whole host of benefits come your way. For one thing, you’ll look better. Plus, you’ll likely notice a boost in your mental health, too. As well as putting your body through its paces at the gym, it’s also recommended that you make stretching an everyday part of your routine. It feels good to be loose!

Skin and Hair

It’s not just the shape of your body that influences how you look. Some things, such as your skin and hair, also have big roles to play. So take a look at making these parts as good as they can be. There are multiple things you can do. For your skin, you can look at facial fillers, cold showers, and sun protection. Maintaining your health is important- feeling good will make you look good! If you’ve been suffering from any skin afflictions such as acne or psoriasis, it might be worth looking into some remedies that could transform the way you feel about yourself. If you’ve got any suspicions about your skin’s health, getting them looked at sooner rather than later will help you out in the long run. Treatments such as psoriasis injections can provide a simple solution to issues you might have been carrying for a long time.

For your hair, it’s about understanding the types of products that your specific type of hair needs and visiting a hair professional who knows what they’re doing.

Meditation and Nature 

Finally, look at focusing on your mental health. If you’re happy, then you’ll, of course, enjoy life more, and you’ll also look better. Who doesn’t like seeing someone with positive energy? There are plenty of things you can do to nudge your mental health in the right direction, but two of the most straightforward options include meditating and spending time in nature. Both of these things have been shown to help calm the mind and give a happiness boost — and they’re both easy enough to do!

Can their twin bond withstand the ultimate test?

by Lisa Gal

This uplifting and highly acclaimed debut “new adult” novel from attorney-turned-author Karen Roberts Turner follows twin sisters, Ebony and Essence, as they experience the joys and pitfalls of college life and face the reality that a twin isn’t always a friend. As their “twinship” is tested, the ultimate question is whether it will survive. The Other Twin is written about young African-American college students, but their experiences are relevant and relatable to readers of any age, gender, or ethnicity. This enrapturing and insightful coming-of-age story has been well-received and has garnered 5-star reviews from readers of all ages. While writing The Other Twin, author Karen Roberts Turner created a special journal for Ebony, one of the twins, not only to share her hopes and dreams but her disappointments and heartaches as well. By popular demand, she has now created an online version of Ebony’s Fresh Start Journal so readers also have a safe and personal space to release those emotions and can give themselves “a fresh start.”

We are excited to include The Other Twin in our Hollywood Swag Bags being direct gifted to the nominees honoring Oscar weekend.

3 Popular Cosmetic Procedures You Could Consider

pixabay image

Non-invasive cosmetic procedures have become increasingly popular over the past few years. That’s partly driven by celebrity culture, although the efficacy and benefits of these treatments have also helped.

When you think of any cosmetic procedure, you likely envision the ones that need surgery. While these are done regularly, they’re far from the only ones that you can choose from.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective way of improving your appearance and boosting your confidence, non-invasive procedures can be recommended. Some are more popular than others and could be considered.

Most Popular Cosmetic Procedures: 3 Options You Can Consider

1. Coolsculpting

Quite a few people feel as though they could lose a little weight. Many would prefer it if they lost it primarily in one area. That should be possible with coolsculpting Raleigh.

The procedure is a localized treatment that focuses on removing fat cells from a specific area. As the name suggests, it can help you sculpt your body.

While you may need several sessions to get an impact, it can be quite noticeable after a while. Unlike many other procedures, the impact of this shouldn’t be undone unless you put on weight.

That makes it more of a permanent non-invasive procedure than others.

2. Laser Hair Removal

When many people think of popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures, laser hair removal mightn’t be the first thing that comes to mind. It’s perhaps the most popular option to choose, however.

As you might expect, the treatment focuses on permanently removing hair from a given body part. Many people choose to remove the hair on their legs or back with this.

It isn’t only women that are getting laser hair removal; it’s become increasingly popular among men in the past few years. Laser hair removal is an effective way of getting rid of hair backs and chests, so it’s easy to see why it’s become popular.

3. Dermal Fillers

When many people think of dermal fillers, they typically picture fuller lips. While that’s the most common way of using the treatment, it’s far from the only one.

They can have quite a few uses, many of which are non-invasive cosmetic procedures. These range from non-surgical nose jobs to non-invasive face lifts. With the range of uses on offer, it’s no wonder this is a popular option.

Dermal fillers are injected into the area that they’re being applied to. While they’ll need to be redone at some point, they could last longer than you’d think.

If you like the impact these have, you’ll need to get them done again every few months.

Most Popular Cosmetic Procedures: Wrapping Up

Non-invasive cosmetic procedures offer a wealth of benefits. They’re:

  • Affordable
  • Quick and Easy
  • Have Minimal Recovery Time

It’s easy to see why they’re becoming increasingly popular. While they can often have their risks, these are increasingly minor. Technology has come far in recent decades; the procedures couldn’t be safer.

If you’re looking for a boost in confidence, then some non-invasive cosmetic procedures can be recommended. Any of the above can be an appealing option.

Duchess Kate’s “Baby-Botox” now on Amazon

BabyBotox“ Biotulin is having a moment in Hollywood. This news went around the world: Duchess Kate Middleton trusts the German “Baby-Botox” Biotulin as a natural alternative to botulinum toxin. But it is not only the duchess who is reportedly impressed with Biotulin. International media also reports that Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, Leonardo DiCarpio, Madonna, Queen Letizia of Spain and many others use Biotulin.

The plant-based Biotulin is also called “Botox in the Bottle” and ensures a wrinkle-free smile. Always and at any time, because the gel can be applied several times a day and the effect lasts for at least 8 hours.

Produced in Germany, Biotulin smoothes and tightens the skin on a pure plant basis. One of the main ingredients of Biotulin is spilanthol, a natural local anesthetic obtained from the extract of the plant Acmella Oleracea (paracress). It reduces muscle contraction, causing facial features to relax. Small wrinkles disappear, especially those around the eyes and between the eyebrows.

Biotulin reduces wrinkles within just 1 hour. This has been proven through independent efficacy studies.

Now Biotulin also offers “EyeMatrix” against dark circles.

For more information about Biotulin, please visit:  www.biotulin.com

by Lisa Gal

What’s even sweeter than honey? How about knowing that golden, syrupy goodness is infused with extra immune-supporting and other wellness benefits? Creating uniquely flavorful honeys that offer soothing support to your body’s natural defenses is easy with our ORGANIC INDIA Immune Tea Infusions.

All ORGANIC INDIA Tea Infusions harness the power of life-enhancing Tulsi. For over 5,000 years, “Queen of Herbs” Tulsi has been revered as a sacred plant with a myriad of benefits. Research increasingly highlights antioxidant-rich Tulsi for its role in uplifting mood, reducing stress, promoting natural detoxification, and more. In the ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Immune teas, this potent herb provides a strong foundation of immune support while pleasantly mingling with other flavorful, robust adaptogens also renowned for promoting the body’s active defenses.

Just a little active time and a bit of patience are all you need for a range of honeys delightfully layered in flavor at home. Start by making a strong tea concentrate to combine the tea with honey. If you wish, add a little extra zing with sliced ginger root, a cinnamon stick, and a dash of their ORGANIC INDIA Turmeric Formula. In a week or so, you’ll reap the benefits of lovely liquid gold to enjoy in beverages, dressings, sauces, baking, or simply on a spoon.

Sigma Beauty introduces their new Spectrum Color-Correcting Duos and Beaming Glow Illuminating Powder

 

Sigma Beauty makes a splash in the complexion game as they introduce their new Spectrum Color-Correcting Duos and Beaming Glow Illuminating Powder. These high-quality, complexion-perfecting cosmetics neutralize discoloration, blur imperfections, and brighten up your complexion for flawless finish.

The Spectrum Color-Correcting Duos provide a more unique, customizable color-correcting experience than existing products on the market. Each long-wearing duo comes with two blendable creams you can mix together to create the perfect shade for your skin tone. This allows the product to cover a spectrum of complexions and to color correct different areas of the face with unique coverage needs. Ideal for seamlessly layering under concealer, the Spectrum Color-Correcting Duos allow you to add more or less coverage, lighten or darken specific areas, mask dark circles, neutralize redness, and cover acne scars – all with one perfect product! Available in three extremely versatile shades: light to medium, medium to dark, and dark to deep.

The Beaming Glow Illuminating Powder brightens up your complexion with its weightless, universally flattering, pearlescent formula. Designed to minimize the appearance of pores and blur imperfections and undereye bags, this semi-translucent, light-reflecting powder is a quick fix for lackluster skin and tired eyes. It instantly transforms dull, matte skin to give it a healthy, subtle glow that will catch the light in all the right places! Available in one universal shade: Fairy Dust.

Both products are part of Sigma’s Clean Beauty program, meaning they are made with clean, safe ingredients, and are free of harsh chemicals.

The Spectrum Color Correcting Duos allow you to customize your color corrector based on your specific needs including under eyes, scars, breakouts, and discolorations. The results are so natural that the Spectrum Color-Correcting Duos can even be used on their own for a quick ‘no makeup’ look. The Beaming Glow Illuminating Powder brings a healthy glow to dull areas, such as under the eyes, but it can also be used all over the face as a glistening finishing powder.” Simone Xavier, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sigma Beauty, explains.

The Spectrum Color-Correcting Duos retail for $30 each and the Beaming Glow Illuminating Powder retails for $32. Available at SigmaBeauty.com.

The sunscreen battle is over!

by Lisa Gal

New Day Skin exists to give tweens and teens quality sun protection products that are
made just for them. They want young people to wake up to a NEW DAY and voluntarily
apply sunscreen as part of their morning routine, just like cleaning their teeth or
brushing their hair. Whilst there are many sunscreen products on the market, they felt
that none appealed to tweens and teens. After years of research and working with world
renowned suppliers, they created the solution. From the packaging to the formulation, they
have developed a brand and unique products that young people love using. Their
signature products are the SPF 50, mineral, daily face creams that look invisible, are
lightweight, and smell amazing! It is their mission to empower kids to apply sunscreen
every NEW DAY and by doing so reduce the overwhelming incidence of skin cancer
around the world.

The two sisters have five children between them and have always been super vigilant
about protecting them from the sun’s dangerous UVA/UVB rays. Jo’s daughter Lucy,
has red hair and very fair skin and Jo would battle with Lucy every day to convince her
to wear sunscreen – it was always a chore! One morning when Jo was getting ready for
work, Lucy asked her mother if she could try on her face cream, which was an SPF 50
moisturizer with a subtle, citrus fragrance. Lucy loved it and the next morning asked if
she could use it again. That was the lightbulb moment. Lucy had no idea that it was
sunscreen she was so enthusiastic about applying. She just knew the cream felt nice on
her skin and it smelt delicious – “like oranges”. Being $70.00 per tube, however, as well
as containing other active ingredients inappropriate for her skin, it was not an option for
Jo to let Lucy continue to use it. That’s when the hunt began for an SPF 50 daily face cream that appealed to tweens and teens, but nothing existed. They discussed it and decided to create their own sunscreen products. After 2.5 years of countless, late-night brainstorming sessions and testing hundreds of creams on the market, flying across the country, and convincing a world-class manufacturer to help us develop their own formulation, they finally launched NEW DAY SKIN in January 2021 and haven’t looked back!

We are thrilled to include them in our Hollywood Swag Bags being direct gifted to the nominees honoring Oscar weekend.
