In celebration of winter Olympic games in Russia, Mario and Sochi

In Celebration on the February 7th 2014 winter Olympic games in Russia, Mario and Sochi on Wii U launches on November 8th 2013.

Can’t hit the slopes this winter, or score a ticket to the 2014 Winter Olympics? Let professional snowboarder and Olympic hopeful Jamie Anderson school you in the art of snowboard slopestyle, a new sport making its debut in Sochi and in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games for Wii U. Taking players to Sochi, Russia, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games invites players of all abilities and ages to team up or face off as their favorite characters in the new Wii U game, which re-creates realistic Olympic events such as curling, skiing, figure skating and snowboard slopestyle. Players also can perform moves not possible in real life, such as the Winter Sports Champion Race, a mixed event that combines skiing, snowboarding, skating and bobsleigh in a single event.

I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the delightful Ms Anderson.  She is as humble as she is talented. Jamie Anderson is a professional snowboard slopestyle competitor, six-time X Games medalist and Olympic hopeful. As a spokeswoman for Nintendo, Jamie Anderson introduces Wii U fans to Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and discusses her journey to the Olympics and what it means to have snowboard slopestyle recognized as an Olympic sport for the first time in 2014.

 

On behalf of everyone at It’s a Glam Thing, I would like to wish Jamie Anderson the very best in Sochi, Russia 2014!

Jamie Anderson the very best in Sochi, Russia 2014

John Frieda Salon Shine Will Blow You Away

300-3

 

We have acquired a new hair appliance and it has blown us away, well our hair that is. Our new John Frieda Salon Shine Blow Dryer is sensational. Why wouldn’t it be? We love all of our John Frieda hair appliances. My girls use John  Frieda’s Smooth Shine Flat Iron several times a week, and my daughter Adrienne is still making curls with her John Frieda Spiral Curl Iron and they can’t  live without John Frieda® Frizz Ease® Hair Setter.

IMG_4447

I assure you, John Frieda Salon Shine Blow Dryer will be no different. With features like 2X Shine, 3X Frizz Control and Advanced IONIC Technology, who wouldn’t want this blow dryer for their very own. Adrienne is using the blow dryer with the diffuser attachment that was included with the blow dryer, and she is using it like a pro.

All of John Frieda’s hair appliances have Advanced IONIC Technology. What is Advanced IONIC Technology you ask? As stated by their website http://www.johnfrieda.com/, “An electronic ionizer generates negative ions, which neutralize positive ions in the atmosphere. The neutralization process flattens and seals the hair cuticle, reducing frizziness and leaving the hair looking shiny.”  It sounds to good to be true, but the advanced IONIC technology really does work. Adrienne says blow drying is fast, easy and eliminates frizz, what could be better than that?.

John Frieda Salon Shine Blow Dryer also features 1875 watts of power, a cool shot, 3 heat settings and 2 speed settings. With this blow dryer you can achieve  voluminous hair with a round bristle brush or pin straight hair with the paddle brush. Whatever you decide you won’t be disappointed.

Cornucopia of Beauty on Your Carolina TV

When the air turns cool and the trees are ablaze with color, it’s time to taste the autumn harvest. Fall’s crop of fruits and vegetables offers a range of intense flavors and great textures. In autumn grocery stores and farmers’ markets are full of fruits like apples, figs, pears, pumpkins, apples and pomegranates. Here are some beauty products that I presented today on Your Carolina featuring some of these popular Fall fruits in their formulations and why.

Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient- Rich Facial Mask- The enzymes ( a group of complex proteins) in pumpkin make it a safe and natural exfoliator which is alternative to chemical peels. Also, loaded with antioxidants pumpkin protects skin cells from free radicals such as pollution, poor diet etc. The oil from the pumpkin seeds is uniquely beneficial for skin. It is rich in essential fatty acids that regulate proper skin sebum (oil) production, which makes it useful for both oily/acne-prone skin and dry skin.

Michael Todd Pink Grapefruit Energizing Body Lotion – Grapefruit is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, when applied topically, the grapefruit extract can provide an array of anti-aging benefits like evening skin tone and fighting off free radicals and it promotes the production of collagen. Also, it’s great for oily and acne prone skin. Grapefruit increases the pH in the skin which will reduce acne.

Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple Shampoo – Green apples are another great anti-aging ingredient that keeps the elasticity in your skin and youthful looking by preventing wrinkles and texture in the skin. Green apple is great for the hair by working wonders to fix dandruff. It is also a recognized remedy for strengthening the locks, enhancing hair growth and preventing hair loss.

Carmex Ultra Smooth Lip Balm Stick SPF 15, Pomegranate – Pomegranate makes for a great moisturizer. It promotes the production of collagen and elastin to give strength and support to the skin. It will slow down the formation of wrinkles and any age related “markings”.

Project FIG, Shave Gel- Figs are fully loaded with skin protecting and nourishing antioxidants to help soften the skin. Fig contains enzymes that help break down dead, flaky cells on the skin’s surface. Figs also have moisturizing properties similar to the skin’s own natural moisture, making it an excellent conditioning agent as well.

GUD from Burt’s Bees Pearanormal Activity Natural Body Wash – Pears are a natural treatment for blemishes and redness, and can help to reduce irritation and discomfort from sun or wind burns. Pears also aid in reducing excess oil in oily skin. Pear helps protect skin from the Earth’s daily assaults.
