Did you ever have one those days when your hair is looking totally drab? I know from experience that when your hair looks drab you feel drab. Let me assure you that Nioxin Hair Care products will put the “Fab” back into your drabby hair.
I routinely alternate shampoos and Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner are one of them. I recently added a few more Nioxin products to my list of “must-have” hair care products and Nioxin Intensive Therapy Deep Repair Hair Masque is amazing. I have never used a hair masque before and this hair masque not only provides deep conditioning, it left my hair feeling silky smooth and ultra soft. This amazing hair masque wiped out my frizz leaving me with soft bouncy curls. Nioxin Intensive Therapy Deep Repair Hair Masque works great on dry and color treated hair and helps strengthen the hair shaft reducing breakage. I simply applied the mask to my wet hair after shampooing, and after 5 minutes I rinsed my hair and then styled it. The results were amazing.
Nioxin Volumizing Reflectives Volume and Texture Creme is the perfect creme to use before styling your hair. Volume and Texture Creme will give your hair just the right body and shine and strengthen the hair shaft against damage without build-up on the scalp and hair. I applied a small amount of this gel-like creme to my damp hair and styled as usual, briefly blow dry or air dry, either way, the results are fabulous. I was able to achieve just the right volume and my curls stayed intact. Nioxin’s Volume and Texture Creme is alcohol and PVP free.
Nioxin Niospray is the perfect complement to Nioxin’s Volume and Texture Creme. This super hair spray is available in two holds, Extra Hold and Power Hold with BioAmp. At Nioxin’s website, http://nioxin.com I found fascinating information on BioAMP technology. “BioAMP – Glyco-proteins add thickness from inside the cuticle and strengthen the hair strand, while Cystine Amino Acids work to seal the cuticle and help repair damaged fine hair”.
Nioxin Niospray will have your hair looking great all day long, giving your hair shine, volume and texture. Nioxin Niospray protects your hair from becoming brittle and dry and is also PVP free. I saw results immediately after use and was very pleased. Nioxin has some amazing products for those with brittle, damaged and thinning hair. Take out the “Drab” and put back the “Fab” with Nioxin and visit http://nioxin.com/en-US/home-page.aspx.

REVIEW : “Audrey Hepburn – A Charmed Life” by Robyn Carney”
“Audrey Hepburn – A Charmed Life” by Robyn Carney takes you through the life of this stunningly beautiful actress who prevailed over her difficult childhood in Nazi-occupied Germany to move forward and capture the hearts of fans world wide in her films, (quote) “establish herself as the fashion icon of the century” with her flair for fashion and style, then with a gentleness of spirit that was so endearing, dedicate herself to helping the impoverished children of the Third World as a special “Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF”. After her year as Goodwill Ambassador, she decided to continue devoting her life to these needy children who she dearly loved.
Not only is the Audrey Hepburn story so well written and compelling that you will not be able to put the book down, but the illustrations are thoroughly outstanding ,and make the story come alive with each turn of the page! Author Robyn Karney does an outstanding job of filling in all of the details of Audrey Hepburn’s movie career and personal life throughout the years.

I had wanted to try Butter London nail polishes for a while and now that I have… I kick my self for waiting so long! The fun and beautiful color I tried was called “Henley Regatta.” It is a metallic, aqua color that is super trendy this nail polish season- it’s bright and sparkly! It is long lasting and super fun! I cant wait to wear it for New Years parties and I know all my friends are going to want to borrow this color when I go back to school!
The color of this product is not the only thing that makes it great! All of Butter London’s nail polishes are something called “3 free nail lacquer”. As some of you many know, different kinds of nail polishes contain some ingredients that are known carcinogens (which means they cause cancer)! Yet Butter London is one of the few awesome companies that vow not to use the three most popular of these carcinogens-formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP. On top of that they don’t test their products on animals!! I don’t know who or what the “Henley Regatta is, but I love this nail polish!!
Check out Butter London’s newest shades this season at http://www.butterlondon.com/. I also found some sensational shades at Sephora.

Fortunately there are many choices when trying to achieve this look. First if you already have a thick full set of lashes you can enhance them by using mascara. There are many great brands that create a nice result. I have had nice results with Double Extend mascara from L’Oreal, EYES TO KILL GORGIO ARMANI and GROW LUDCIOUS PLUMPING form REVLON. There are however many more effective brands to choose from, the key is to experiment with the various brands and types to see what works best for your personal preferences.
Many people love the look of false eyelashes for a more dramatic style. This can be great but they typically only last one to three days with care. The nice thing about them is that there is an ability to choose how long, short or thick of a lash you want. Additionally, they come in theatrical colors for various occasions that may call for a more colorful presentation.
I have also seen nice results with long growing lashes from products like LATISE, that can be used to make your lashes grow longer, however the product has to be put on daily to maintain the long lashes, and since it is considered to be a prescription product it needs to be purchased from doctors that carry it.
My favorite lash discovery so far has been lash extensions which have been a great alternative for me. I first discovered these beauty enhancing attractors from a friend who came to my house with the most beautiful set of lashes I’d ever scene. I learned that lash extensions typically last 3 weeks to a month with minimal maintenance. The only other advice I want to express to you is that you need to go to someone who is highly specialized in dong lashes and make sure they are well trained and use high quality glue. Check around in your area and ask their clients for recommendations. I have heard that sometimes lashes can break off or get pulled out, so be aware this may be possible, however, I have had my lashes in for 6 months and have not had this problem.
I was a bit unsure when I first learned about this technique but decided to try the lash extensions for myself. When I went in for my first time I was put in a comfortable room similar to a massage room and got to lie on a bed where soft music played in a relaxing environment. The magic happened in about one hour and 20 minutes. I closed my eyes as my lash practioner put on my extensions as I fell asleep. There was no discomfort whatsoever. When I woke up she gave me the mirror and I had beautiful sexy lashes. I was given a paper with instructions as to how to take care of my new lashes and told to come in for regular monthly maintenance which she expressed would take a much shorter period of time than the initial visit. The lashes are like my own but more dramatic. They are attached to the natural lashes with special glue. I found the lashes look very natural, but are dramatic and sexy at the same time. I still get compliments on a daily basis which makes me really happy. I wake up in the morning with beautiful lashes and do not need mascara to look good. I feel good because I don’t have to fuss around with much extra makeup. I love them!

I knew this article would be fun, informative, and most of all gratifying because the contest was searching to find real women who were, “not only beautiful on the outside, but the inside, too.” (Quote from Style News- Style Watch -People.com) You may read the whole article here: www.http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2012/09/19/people-botox-real-women-contest/#comments
Being involved in the entertainment field for over 30 years it became very easy for me to determine and really appreciate the “true beauties”! It was their inner and outer balance, along with whatever it was they were doing that would light up their lives and define their “unique” beautiful appearance! In my opinion, the five winners of the “Women Just Like You” contest are all beauties ~ inside & out!
Fashion Designer Lela Rose was kind enough to share some commentary about this venture, and I know you’ll find it quite enlightening… so let the journey begin.
Fashion Designer ~ Lela Rose
Comments from Lela Rose on Women Just Like You…
Question : Tell us about the “Women Just Like You” contest and why you decided to partner with BOTOX Cosmetic on this campaign.
LELA: My work as a fashion designer celebrates being a woman through design that is feminine and approachable. While looking and feeling your best is important, I also believe women should be celebrated for their success. The “Women Just Like You” campaign – sponsored by BOTOX Cosmetic in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the product and the millions of women who have been treated with BOTOX Cosmetic over the past decade – is all about celebrating other women who put their best face forward every day at work, at home and in their community.
I’m a proud supporter of BOTOX Cosmetic and the work the brand does to celebrate the millions of women who have received real, noticeable, predictable results through treatment with the product. Women should talk to a doctor to see if the treatment is right for them. The BOTOX Cosmetic website can help them find a doctor. http://www.botoxcosmetic.com .
Question : Can you tell us more about the contest?
LELA: I joined with BOTOX Cosmetic and PEOPLE magazine in search of five women who are “Women Just Like You”. These five women were selected from more than 2,200 entries for the campaign and were flown to New York to receive the “star treatment” from me and participate in a photo shoot with celebrity photographer Dorian Caster . Their photos and stories appeared in a recent People Magazine advertorial spread.
Question: I’m sure all of these women have amazing stories. Can you tell us a bit more about them?
LELA : I am so inspired by all of these women and it was a pleasure to work with each of them during the photo shoot. They all deserve to be recognized for their unique accomplishments. More about the winners of the Women Just Like You contest:
• Aimee Miller of Dallas, TX is a local fashion designer and business owner. Aimee was inspired by the needs of her community to create a line of denim jeans for the everyday woman.
• Sabrina Sexton from Atlanta, GA is a local photographer, baker, and caregiver. By day she works at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, and has also turned her passion for photography into a way of giving back. In her spare time, Sabrina uses her love of baking to raise money for charity and her local relay for life.
• Valerie Wildman of Los Angeles, CA is a local community activist and education consultant for L.A. schools. While she has been an actress for most of her life, her true passion is helping kids in Los Angeles.
• Titi Jonasson from Oceanside, CA is a local fitness enthusiast and caregiver. Titi focuses on the health of herself and her family so she can take care of her husband who suffers from MS and her daughter, and not get caregiver burnout.
• Terry Richardson from Seattle, WA is a local cancer charity founder. She created the Innovator’s Network as part of the Hutchinson Cancer Center to help find a cure to cancer, and has already raised over one million dollars for the center and that is just the beginning.
