Get Perfect Beach Hair everyday!

got2be beach trippin’

My hair is naturally straight, so I love putting a few waves in it for something different. I absolutely love the look of the naturally wavy beach look, and found that göt2b beach trippin’ saltinfusion WAVING SPRAY does a great job with that. The natural salts infuse voluminous waves that last all day. The great thing about göt2b beach trippin’ WAVING SPRAY it is that there is no “crunchy” feeling after you put it in mainly because of the moisturizing ingredients conted in the spray. Plus you can use it on dry hair, or wet hair, blow-dry or air dry! Get those beautiful  mermaid waves in the sun or shade!

Feel Like a Glistening Godess with JERGENS natural GLOW

 

jergens-naturalglowfirmingdailymoisturizer-7.5ounce-1I was so excited to try this product, as in the past, I would lie in the sun for hours and damage my skin. The other self-tanner products usually had a bad odor, so I would not use them and put nice smelling lotion on and relaxed in the sun. Jergens Natural Glow does not have the terrible “self-tanner” scent, in fact, throughout the day, there is no smell at all and nobody would ever know you have on a self-tanner.  The Jergens Natural Glow application is fast and easy, and the best part is there is no streaking.  The color is a beautiful beige brown, not orange and I have a beautiful healthy glow within three applications.  I would definitely recommend the product it is easy to use, has a great glow and is very inexpensive.

My friend recently introduced me to Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer. I can’t believe I missed this one on the store shelf. Not only will this moisturizer give you added color after a few uses, but will also help reduce the appearance of cellulite in as little as 7 days. Remember, Jergens Firming Daily moisturizer will not eliminate cellulite but will lessen the appearance. Best of all, it really does work. In a world that can be quite hazardous being exposed to the sun, we definitely don’t want to tan that way.  When people ask you how you got your great looking color, tell them Jergens, it’s as simple as that.

Jergens Natural Glow also carries sunscreens and you can find Jergens products at retail stores nationwide. www.jergens.com

Turn to ORGANIX for Softness and Shine

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil

My 17 year old daughter is getting tremendous results with Organix’s Moroccan Argan Oil hair care line. She already uses Organix Surf Paste and Organix Sea Salt Spray and you can read about them here; http://donnaraheb.itsaglamthing.com/?p=5792. Adrienne found another product in the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil line called Intense Moisturizing Treatment and she loves it. Organix Intense Moisturizing Treatment  is the perfect compliment to the Shampoo and Conditioner in the same line.

After Shampooing and Conditioning, all it takes is a small amount of the Intense Moisturizing Treatment evenly distributed onto your hair. The best way to do this is with a wide tooth comb, this makes distribution from scalp to roots more thorough. Adrienne leaves the Intense Moisturizing Treatment on for 5 minutes then rinses off. To enhance the treatment, after applying, place a shower cap over your head and wrap a hot towel around it, this sounds very relaxing too! Adrienne says that after the treatment, and her hair is left smooth and feels silkier than ever.

The moroccan argan oil found in Organix Intense Moisturizing Treatment helps restore your hair’s health and enhances shine and bounce, not to mention your hair will smell fantastic. Intense Moisturizing Treatment will help protect your hair from damage caused by hot styling tools as well as the UV rays from the sun. Adrienne is enjoying all the benefits Moroccan Argan Oil has to offer, especially the softness and shine.

You can view the complete Organix hair care line at http://www.organixhair.com/ Organix Hair Care products can also be found at most major drug stores nationwide.

From academic cardigans and sweaters to pleated schoolgirl skirts to black rimmed glasses, there are endless possibilities for playing up your geek chic look! Of course, glasses are often times the most obvious choice for creating a strong fashion statement. For achieving the nerdy chic look, Geek Chic offers a plethora of glasses that range from eclectic to vintage to collectibles. Nerds collect all sorts of cool nerdy glasses.

Grand Opening of Carmen Steffens in Orlando, Florida

me on the red carpet at carmen steffens

Fashion just got even more comfortable with the new exclusive boutique, Carmen Steffens, now open at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Florida. First originating in Brazil, Carmen Steffens has opened their doors to 215 locations in the country including 35 stores in the USA, Argentina, France, Australia and Spain.

Created in 1993 by Mario Spaniol, Carmen Steffens (named after his mother) has become one of the most desired Brazilian fashion trends to ever hit the market. I can say from experience that Carmen Steffens shoes are true to their name. While at the grand opening, I was gifted a pair of Carmen Steffens shoes to wear throughout the evening. For someone who doesn’t wear heels a lot I have to say that these shoes changed my mind about fashion and comfort. I used to think that fashion and comfort never went hand in hand until I wore my new Carmen Steffens shoes.

While at the grand opening I got to meet many new and interesting people and learn a lot more about the company. One person that I was very happy to talk with was Mark Willingham, the Director of Marketing for Carmen Stephens. He stated that one of the reasons they chose Orlando for a new store is that not only Orlando has a very large Brazilian, Latino market, but also many people from all over the world visit this area. People will relate to Carmen Stephens as an international brand.
Carmen Steffens not only specializes in women’s high quality leather handbags and shoes, but also have a man edition called Raphael Steffens and CS Teen for girls.

No matter what your style, occasion or just visiting Orlando, be sure to stop by Carmen Stephens at the beautiful Mall at Milliena. Here you will feel just like royalty and get the best service you have ever received. I personally experienced this royal treatment yesterday when I stopped by their beautiful store. Also visit www.carmensteffens.com to learn and see more of their beautiful shoes and handbags.

Get reading! Shopping for skin care products should be treated like shopping for groceries. Read the ingredient labels and make the right purchase decision based on what’s inside the product formulations. Enya Flack, Beauty & Lifestyle Expert with It’s a Glam Thing shares some common skin care ingredients and what they do to help get you started on becoming a more educated beauty product consumer. She also shares some of the beauty products she is loving now.

Vitamin E & Aloe are two common ingredients in skin care products. Keeki Pure and Simple has a non toxic nail polish remover with both ingredients. Vitamin E protects and repairs the skin and Aloe Vera soothes and moisturizes the skin. Keeki Pure and Simple Nail Polish Remover is completely safe and utilizes these ingredients to help rather than harm your nails and cuticles.

Stem Cells are a huge Buzzword in skin care right now. Système 41products are all natural productsthat use Apple and Grape Stem Cell technology to help skin look younger.Système 41 Restorative Night Treatment contains Apple Stem Cells and Système 41 Nourishing Day Crème contains Grape Stem Cells. The apple & grape stem cells work to reduce signs of aging and renew, help repair and regenerate the skin. They are extracted right from the fruits themselves.

Mica is a natural clay mineral with a smooth, soft, fine texture. Mica is known for it’s high slip (no tugging or dragging during application) and excellent skin adhesion (long wear) so it is great for makeup products. Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Eye shadows contain Mica. Enya loves the Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eye Shadows in the new eye shadow quads.

Immortelle flower oil is used in skin care products by companies like L’Occitane En Provence. Immortelle, the everlasting flower, is at the heart of the L’Occitane ground-breaking Award winning Immortelle Precious Serum formula. This flower oil works to repair damaged collagen in the skin and smooths and restores firmness. It is commonly called the Everlasting Flower because the Immortelle flower keeps it’s color even when it is dried out.

The Soap and Paper Factory brand uses Shea Butter in it’s soaps. Shea Butter is extracted from the nut of the African Shea Tree. Shea butter is incredible for the skin. It has healing effects on burns, skin conditions, stretch marks and will never clog pours. The Soap & Paper Factory Shea Butter Soaps are gentle, they nourish skin and smell great!

Orange and Lemon Oils are anti-bacterial, natural preservatives that help to prevent bacteria growth. These are both also anti-oxidants that slow or stop free-radical damage to the skin. Gerda Spillman’s Renaissance Active Oil is made of oils including Orange and Lemon. This oils helps to rejuvenate dry, damaged skin and aids in reducing the visible effects of burns, scars, and stretch marks.

Tamar Braxton’s US Weekly Cover Hairstyle How To

TamaraBraxtonUsWeeklyonset_zps83f1faeb

Celebrity hairstylist Brian Banks (featured in the photo above) created Tamar Braxton’s “new mom” sexy mermaid curls for the latest cover of US Weekly. To begin, Brian used IT&LY Hairfashion’s Pure Hair Eco Hair Spray and a medium barrel curling iron to wrap medium sized sections around the inside of the iron. He began at the nape area and worked to the top of the head taking uneven partings to create soft natural curls. To style, he used his fingers to gently comb through the hair releasing the curls and forming soft mermaid waves. To finish, Brian used his favorite hair spray by IT&LY called Pure Definition Hair Spray.    The result was flawless!

EOS did Wonders for my Lips

0-51

I am obsessed with lip balm, and pretty much keep it in my pocket at all times. The other day I was at field hockey practice in 90 degree weather and forgot my lip balm. My lips were a disaster and so dry. As soon as I got home I pulled out my EOS strawberry sorbet lip balm and it did wonders. My lips were smooth after I applied it. EOS lip balm is made with Shea butter and jojoba oil for healthy lips. It’s 100% natural and 95% organic which is great. I absolutely love the sphere shape and I am never leaving the house without it! It can be found for about $3 dollars almost anywhere! http://evolutionofsmooth.com/
