SAVANNAH BEE, My hands have never looked better

Unknown-2

I am always on the lookout for a great hand cream to use during the cold winter months or after gardening or after my hands spend a lot of time in water.  In other words, I need to replenish and nourish my raw, hard working hands.  Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream is perfect for dry damaged hands but is also gentle enough to use as an “all over” dry skin remedy.  There is instant relief for my cracked thumbs.  It does not burn when I apply like other lotions do.  It has a natural scent to it with no heavy perfume scent which I love!!  Smells nice not overpowering.  I like to describe the scent as a warm pecan and berry scent.  It makes me happy as I am very sensitive to strong perfume smells!  It naturally protects and hydrates brittle, rough hands with essential nutrients directly from the hive. Beeswax creates a natural barrier between your skin and the cold, dry air.  It seems almost solid in the jar but as soon as you scoop it out and apply it to your skin, it melts like butter.  I love the texture.  It goes on easy and sinks into your skin.  It does not leave your skin greasy or sticky.  It has a beautiful, peach scented texture which absorbs, moisturizes quickly into your skin.  I love to apply it on my hands using moisturizing gloves right before I go to bed.  I also use it on the rough patches of the heels of my feet and my dry, flakey elbows.  In the morning my hands, elbows and feet are super soft and healthy!  Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream lasts a long time and you rarely need to reapply unless you wash your hands.  The beeswax helps to lock in your natural skin oil!  Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream has pecan and peach kernel oils and anti-oxidizing blueberry extract to soften and heal skin.   When my jar of Savannah Bee Hand Cream is running low, I will definitely be repurchasing a new one!  Terrific product that I must have at all times!  My hands have never looked better!  You can purchase Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream at www.savannahbee.com —  comes in 3.4 oz. glass jar or 1.7 fl oz tube

Yiota & Thessy Kouzoukas, owners and founders of Sabo Skirt, wandered the event with top fashion bloggers in the industry such as Natalie Suarez of Natalie Off Duty, Dylana Suarez, and Amy Pham, to name a few.

Guests hung out around the floating flamingo pool and lounged in the grass at the estate. The environment created a mini-festival vibe, with opportunities to sport a flower crown from Flower Gypsies, body décor from Flash Tattoos, and floral photos booths for attendees to capture images for social media provided by Australian model publication, AMFAM: All My Friends Are Models. With an RSVP rate of over 7,000 people, Sabo Springs was one of the most desired parties to attend in the Coachella Valley party circuit.

Confidence is key

Empowerment, motivation, confidence, just a few things the More Than Enough Inc. fashion experience brought to the runway last night in Ocala, Florida. A non-profit, faith based organization, More Than Enough Inc. was created in 2006 by Shawana Vikors.

MTE

MTE

Unlike any fashion show I have ever been to, More Than Enough kicked it off with a bang! Starting off in “Majestic Africa”, the show featured different parts of life we all can relate to in some way. Being a mom, the life of a child, and just wanting to feel a little bit sexy. The show was not just about fashion, MTE is about confidence. We see many runways that show one thing when we are all made differently yet beautifully. As the show went on the cheers came as the hosts Chanté & Cavender entertained us, a poet stunned us with her poem and a singer made us think.

MTE even honored a hard working single mother of 5 boys with an all exclusive “Model for a Day” treat. Kenya was their lucky winner. Hard working, active in her church and all over beautiful women, Kenya was rocking her new look. The show also featured TSPA Alumni Rhonda Lane.

More Than Enough

The biggest thing MTE wants to share with the world is that it is ok to love yourself, to be yourself and to love the gifts you were given. In a troubled world, MTE gives praise to God for his blessing sand knows that nothing would be possible without him. If you would like to learn more and even become part of More Than Enough check out www.mteinc.org There you will see all about their mentoring program EMPOWERU and so much more! Congratulations to Shawana and the MTE team for an awesome first show. You truly are inspirations to many. Keep it up!

Get the look: Shailene Woodley

Best Female Performance winner Shailene Woodley rocked the carpet last night at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards with a French inspired, bold yet naturally radiant look, created by Celebrity Makeup Artist Roxy.

To achieve this look, Roxy hydrated Shailene’s face by applying Laurel Whole Plants Organic Skin Facial Elixir to her face, neck and décolletage. Next, to even out her skin tone and achieve a flawless finish, Roxy applied a sheer foundation with a beauty blender sponge. She then softly played up the definition of Shailene’s cheek bones with a warm cream RMS Bronzer. Following this, for extra radiance, Roxy applied RMS illuminizer down the bridge of Shailene’s nose, above and around the corners of her brows, in a C shaped manner.

For her eyes, Roxy applied a chocolate brown liner along the top and bottom lash lines, diffusing it softly with a petite eye brush. To emphasize the eyes a bit more, she layered a soft black liner on her top lid with a subtle smudge. Last but not least, Roxy focused on Shailene’s lips, applying a mixture of Burt’s Bees Lip Crayons in Napa Vineyard and Redwood Forest ($9, www.burtbees.com), for a rich, bold and creamy red that finished the look flawlessly.

A message from the Pros from Carmex about Cold Sores

DOES A COLD SORE MAKE YOU  WANT TO RUN FOR COVER?

The Carmex® “Let’s Get Closer” Survey Reveals How People Really Feel 

If you are one of more than half of Americans between the ages of 21-54, who say they have ever had a cold sore, you may also share the attitudes and behaviors of people who know how these unattractive and unwelcome cold sores may make you feel.

Carma Laboratories, the company that has been manufacturing Carmex® lip balm for over 78 years, recently introduced Carmex® Cold Sore Treatment, a product that works on contact to block pain and itch while minimizing the appearance of a cold sore1. Cold sores can be inconvenient, embarrassing and always seem to happen at the most inopportune time. In order to better understand the social challenges cold sores create, Carma Laboratories recently completed a Harris Poll of over 1,100 adults age 21-54.

So, just how do Americans feel about cold sores? According to the Carmex “Let’s Get Closer” survey*, almost half of adults ages 21-54 would be very to somewhat likely to cancel a date if they woke up with a cold sore. This feeling was more prevalent among women and men between the ages of 21-44. A geographic breakdown shows this to be more of a reality among people from the South (56%) or Midwest (49%).

More than 1 in 4 Americans said they would be very to somewhat likely to postpone a job interview. Interestingly, men were more likely to say that they would be somewhat likely to take a day off from work because of a cold sore.

Twenty nine (29%) percent acknowledge that they would wonder if the cold sore was contagious and (26%) percent would wonder if it was herpes. Close to 2 in 5 said they would be very to somewhat likely to cut short a date if their date showed up with a cold sore.

It would seem obvious that no one really wants to kiss someone if they have a cold sore, yet surprisingly, men might still consider it! Sixty seven (67%) of women said they would be very unlikely to do this, while (57%) say they would be unlikely.

If you do have an occasional or frequent cold sore, do you ever wonder what people are thinking when they see you? Gratifyingly, (68%) of those ages 21-34 and (67%) of those ages 35-44 think “That must be painful.” Forty nine percent (49%) of ages 45-54 share this reaction. On the other hand, caution prevails.  Thirty one percent (31%) between 21-44 wonder if it’s contagious versus (22%) of ages 45-54. Herpes is on people’s minds too when they see a cold sore with (29%) of 21-34 year olds and (28%) of 35-44 year olds wondering if the cold sore might be herpes. Interestingly, men (13%) are more likely than women (7%) to think that the person with a cold sore isn’t clean.

Only NEW Carmex® Cold Sore Treatment works on contact to block pain and itch while minimizing the appearance of a cold sore. 10% Benzocaine blocks pain and itch, while the TriPLEX™ Formula technology smoothes and fills to make the cold sore less noticeable. And, it works on contact – so you see and feel results fast. While no product can cure a cold sore, this breakthrough product may help sufferers feel more comfortable and confident while managing through a cold sore outbreak.

About Carmex® and Carma Laboratories, Inc.:

For more than 78 years, Franklin, Wisconsin-based Carma Laboratories, Inc., has manufactured Carmex® brand lip balms. Carma Laboratories, Inc. is a family owned and operated business that was founded in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, the inventor of Carmex® lip balm.

How to Maintain Polished Brows in Warm/Humid Weather

April, 2015 (New York, NY) – Bold brows are not a trend, they are here to stay – every celebrity seems to have transformed their pencil thin arches into bolder straighter frames, and it’s benefited every single one of them! Keep in mind that a perfectly polished brow requires more than just getting rid of stray hairs every month, but not much more (wink).  Boom Boom, owner of Boom Boom Brow Bar, gives tips on how to get eyebrows ready for the warmer seasons, whether hitting spring break, the Rivera or a rooftop with a chair, beautifully groomed brows make a girl feel GORG!

“It starts with a tint, taking a few minutes to darken your eyebrows reduces time in a tight beauty routine. And don’t worry about matching the color so perfectly to your head hair, nowadays anything goes.  Think of it like bags and shoes, they used to have to match, but now it’s actually cooler if they don’t!” says Boom Boom.

A tint is like a glaze, it’s semi permanent so it will gracefully wear away.  First an esthetician applies Vaseline to the skin surrounding the hair to protect it and prevent the dye from bleeding onto skin, and then the vegetable-based tint is applied to the brow hair and processes for about 10 minutes before it’s wiped away.  Tints add definition by coloring the brow hair, as well as all the teeny tiny little hairs that are usually invisible, so the result is a much bolder brow.  Note to self-tanners, skip tanning the week before coming in for a tint – tanners can sometimes react badly with dye.

“A good brow tint gives you a thicker style, a more youthful appearance and is the perfect solution to keeping brows looking great in warm humid climates where makeup melts or water washes it away,” adds Boom Boom.  It’s also great for on-the-go gals who don’t have time to apply much makeup or prefer a more natural look.  The added bonus is even looking good at the gym and when waking up in the morning!!

The loveliness lasts 4-6 four to six weeks; just avoid oil-based moisturizers, cleansers, or wipes, which can cause fadage.  Applying sunscreen to brows protects them even more.

Preparing brows for the warmer more humid weather in advance allows a girl to kick back, toss her flip-flops in reckless abandon and enjoy life….all while looking FAB!!

Malynda Vigliotti (aka Boom Boom) is obsessed with brows – 130,000+ served at Boom Boom Brow Bar in NYC!  Everyone should have thick gorgeous eyebrows, after all, they are the most important feature on the face and THE best accessory EVA!   Boom Boom knows there’s no such thing as natural beauty, but she does believe a perfectly done brow is an instant eyelift – no Botox necessary!  She makes waxing fun and affordable for everyone, just walk-in! For more fabulousness, check out what’s cooking on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boomboombrowbar and Twitter: http://twitter.com/boomboombrowbar.
