PEVONIA Promotes PINK PRIDE Proceeds

                 

Pevonia will be supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation this October in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of the proceeds made throughout the month of October, from the Esthebuste Line, will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to hopefully get one step closer to finding a cure.

Daytona Beach, October 1, 2012 – Every 2 minutes, there is a new breast cancer diagnosis in the United States. Every 14 minutes, a life is lost to the disease. In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pevonia will be donating a portion of October proceeds from their Esthebuste Line to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Breast Cancer Research Foundation funded research has helped save lives and significantly improved the quality of care and survivorship for tens of thousands of breast cancer patients in the past decade and a half (Bcrfcure.org).

Pevonia’s Esthebuste Line is suitable for all skin types and offers natural extracts in order to provide healthier skin. The Restore Neck & Bust Cream firms and tones the delicate neck, bust, and décolleté areas. Enriched with a potent blend of Kigelia Africana, Chamomile, and Vitamin E, this cream helps to reduce visible signs of aging, smooth overall texture, and improve skin elasticity.  The neck and bust areas will appear visibly restored and youthful. With just a few drops of the Restore Neck & Bust Concentrate, you will notice the difference in your skin as it targets and fights the signs of premature aging in the area between the chin and lower bust line. Kigelia Africana and Chamomile work together to improve skin tone, hydrate and increase elasticity, visibly repair sun damage, and rejuvenate the neck, bust, and décolleté areas.

Pevonia strives to give more women the chance to join the 2.5 million breast cancer survivors. As the most common cancer in American women and the leading cause of death in women ages 40 and 55, your October Esthebuste purchase can bring researchers closer to finding a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.The Esthebuste Line is available online at www.pevonia.com as well as at prestigious spas & salons worldwide.

Give the gift of luxurious hair this holiday season with “Macadamia Natural Oil”

Macadamia Natural Oil has developed an outstanding line of Hare Care Products.  Combining the  benificial properties of Macadamia Nut Oil and Argan Seed Oil they formulated an  extensive line of hair care product that will not only heal and nourish your hair, it will revitalize and rejuvenate even the most damaged hair.  If you know the backgrounds of these two oils, you will understand why this is true.

At http://www.macadamiahair.com learn about their products and the history of both Macadamia Oil and Argan Oil.  I have heard so much about these two oils and I know many haircare and skin care lines contain Argan Oil, but I really hadn’t heard much about Macadamia Oil until now.  After visiting their website, I became very knowledgable of the benefits of these two oils combined,  and what they would do for my own color treated and stressed hair.  According to their website, the benefits of the Oils “Together, macadamia oil and Argan oil replenish the hair’s natural emollients with the high content of essential fatty acids found naturally in both of these exceptional oils.  The combined benefits help to nourish and protect the hair from harmful UV rays while repairing hair follicles for improved elasticity  and shine”.

My daughter Adrienne and I had the delightful experience of trying the Macadamia Natural Oil through their  Luxe Travel Set.  The Luxe Travel sets included everything we needed to try out Macadamia Nut Oil and we were glad we did.  My daughter especially found Macadamia Natural Oil Hair Care, sensational and she will be featuring her experience with Macadamia Nut Oil soon.!

Macadamia Rejuvinating Shampoo is a sulfate-free, paraban-free and colorsafe shampoo designed for all hair types.  Using both the shampoo together with Macadamia Moisturizing Rinse, you will notice right away how manageable and soft your hair will be.

I especially like the Macadamia Nourshing Leave-In Cream.  The leave-in cream helps with detangling curly hair and it really does leave your hair silky soft.

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment is one of my favorites.  It can be used daily and is perfect for all hair types, especially dry and damaged hair like my own.  This Healing Oil Treatment also helped detangle my  hair leaving me with a frizz-free finish (which is a huge plus for my hair type, curly). Macadmamina Oil Treatment is also beneficial for color treated hair, helping to  reduce fading and offering natural UV protection.  You won’t believe how soft my hair is after applying it.

Macadamia Natural Oil has their own Healing Oil Infused Comb that works in conjunction with their Healing Oil Treatment. This special comb is a wide toothed comb and  provides even distribution of the Healing Oil, leaving no residue on your hands, detangling hair and leaving your hair smooth and shiny.

Another one of my favorites from this line is the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque.  This once or twice weekly treatment helps to revitalize dry, damaged hair.  Besides containing those two “beneficial Oils” we talked about, the Hair Repair Masque also contains tea tree oil, chamomile oil, aloe and algae extracts allowing for long-lasting conditioning.

Did I mention that Macadamia Nut Oil Hair Care Products smell fantastic, you hair will too!  This is a hair care system you have to try for yourself. http://www.macadamiahair.com

It’s All About Silk

Curls can be fun and sexy, but to get them that way seems impossible. With all the gel, mousse, and hairspray it takes more time to do your hair then it does to make breakfast.  If you could get that same sexy look with just one product you would do it right? I knew you would.

BIOSILK Beach Texture Spray can give you those fun, sexy just got off the beach curls.  Made with natural silk, vitamins, herbs, and texturizing salts BIOSILK Beach Texture Spray creates curls to look natural and adds just the right amount of volume.  I mean come on right? What curly hair babe wants flat, stuck to the head, curls.

When I started using BIOSILK Beach Texture Spray, I noticed a change in my curls from the first use.  There was a lot less frizz and the look of dryness. BIOSILK Beach Texture Spray gave them a “new life” and they seem very happy.

So throw away all that unnecessary product and go for the one that does it all, BIOSILK Beach Texture Spray and give your curls new life.

Vist www.BIOSILK.com and see it for yourself.

Don’t Shower Without It, It’s Just Cleanlogic


The Cleanlogic Exfoliating Gloves are a great alternative to a wash cloth. They come with two gloves in a pack. They are so easy to use. When I am in the shower, I just put the gloves on and squirt my favorite body wash in my hands. I massage my hands over my body and it creates a nice lather. The material is not rough, and it does a great job smoothing out the rough parts on my skin. I definitely recommend the Cleanlogic Exfoliating Gloves if you are looking to exfoliate your skin inexpensively! They also have sponges, body lotions, body washes and more at www.cleanlogicbodycare.com

Somme Institute: Research plus a synergistic approach to skin care and a 5-step skin care regimen, equals results you “can” see!

I personally am a stickler about taking care of my skin and using a synergistic approach for best results with treatment products. I learned that from my Grandmother who looked decades younger in her 80’s and had instilled in me those practices from a young girl on.

Synergy in skin care is the compatibility of ingredients in a product line that work together and support each product in a regimen to promote the optimal results that they are meant to produce! .)

When I was recently introduced to The Somme Institute , I found their dedicated research, and their philosophy of a synergistic use of the Somme 5-step skin care regimen very exciting. I couldn’t wait to try Somme, and now I am very eager to share it with you!

Somme Institute is a Research Company and is quite unique in the way they did their research on cosmetics. In fact, they actually dedicated over ten years in the research process, and (Quote) “tracked the results of more than 5,000 participants to develop their product line.”

Their product formulation is called MDT5. : (Quote) “MDT5 is a molecular compound of 5 highly engineered vitamins that are attached to proteins. Each of the vitamins is in its active form and the proteins enable it to penetrate deep into the skin and result in drastic changes and display changes in skin texture, overall clarity and radiance. We call these vitamins SMART VITAMINS because the each hit a specific skin cell receptor to give the cell what it needs! What is remarkable about this technology is that it works with ALL skin types: severe dry skin, wrinkled and sun damaged skin, oily and acne prone skin, and even rosacea”

(Quote) “We have seen:
• A complete turnaround with mild to severe acne
• Fine line and wrinkle softening
•Sun damage, hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tone basically reverse itself

Take a look at some of the Before and After photographs, and then we’ll talk about the Somme 5-Step Regimen.

Before and After ~ sub-surface (3-4mm deep into the skin)

Before and After ~ Surface

The Somme 5-Step Regimen:

As it reads on the Somme 5-Step Regimen brochure ~ 5-Steps 5-Minutes 5-Vitamins
with MDT5
Molecular Dispersion Technology

I use this regimen plus two additional products for my Eye area and Neck area.
The packaging and color coding is so modern and distinctive! The products do exactly what they are intended to do and here are my comments about the Somme 5-Step Regimen:
Step #1- Nourishing Cleanser
I like the feel of this non-foaming gel. It easily removes any makeup and leaves your skin feeling clean but never dry or irritated. (Use AM & PM)

Step #2- Transport
This step is so invigorating! Pre-moistened Cotton Pads gently exfoliate with alpha/beta hydroxy acids, help encourage hydration, resiliency, cell renewal and unclogged pores. (Use AM & PM)

Step #3- Serum
Here is your concentrated vitamin C gel which will improve elasticity, help even the tone of your skin, soften your skin, and most importantly build collagen. (Use AM & PM)

Step #4- A-Bomb
This light weight moisture cream contains high concentrations of advanced forms of vitamin A & E and helps reduce those fine lines and wrinkles. It has a wonderful feeling and immediately absorbs into the skin. (Use AM & PM)

Step #5- Double Defense
This is such a nice light weight water resistant lotion with an SPF 30. It provides you with a broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is great for the whole body. (Use in the AM).

An additional product I use is:

EYE


This is a “Controlled-Release” cream that is again very light weight but really helps hydrate, repair any sun damage, help with puffiness and dark circles, helps increase the dermal matrix (This is really important since your skin ine the eye area is quite thin.) , increases skin elasticity when use on a regular basis, and will not clog pores! I use this AM and PM. It may also be used once per day or as needed! Tap gently under the eye and up to your orbital bone with your ring finger to apply… Avoid your eyelid area!

The final product in my regimen is the “new” product Neckline with MDT5:

NECKLINE with MDT5

I use this AM and PM on my neck and decollete area. When I apply it, I lightly massage it in an upward motion and just over my jawline and around the back of my ears for a nice lifting feel. It has a firming and toning quality while helping with those horizontal lines around the neck and vertical lines in the decollete. Neckline also assists with building collagen in this often wrinkle prone area. I really could feel a firming sensation from the first time I used NECKLINE! It’s been over a month that I’ve been using the 5-Step Regimen and I “Can” see a difference!

Somme also has a great “Try me” kit. It’s the complete 5-Step Regime with product for a week:

The Pillow Pack

In a week I had already noticed positive changes in the appearance of my skin! The Pillow Pack is a nice way to get the feel of these products!

Here’s your perfect solution when you travel: A Mobile Kit that is convenient, easy to pack and will give you ample product for trips and getaways!

MOBILE ~ Somme 5 Step – Regimen for travel!

You’ll always be ready to go when you have MOBILE! The real plus is that all the containers are refillable!!

As promised, here is a link that will take you to the Somme Institute Website . Here you can find out more about the Somme Institute, purchase products online, find lots of additional information about Somme and MDT5, and locations of Spas that carry and provide services using Somme Institute products.
www.sommeinstitute.com

The Somme 5-step skin care Regimen with MDT5 is a real winner! It will provide you with a wonderful synergistic approach to the care of your skin, and it’s a program I highly recommend !

Treat Yourself to a Glass of Tetley Iced Tea

For as long as I can remember, I have been an avid tea drinker.  I have a cup of hot tea almost every night before I go to bed. I always resorted to drinking my ice tea in restaurants because I could never find a good ice tea blendthat I could make at home.  It just didn’t taste the same.  My mom suggested that I try the iced tea blend by Tetley.  I was skeptical, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try.  To my pleasant surprise, it was AMAZING!  One tea bag makes four cups of restaurant quality ice tea.  I also love that it is unsweetened so I can choose how I want to sweeten it and adjust the level of sweetness to my liking.  I ended up making a whole pitcher of it and two days later it still tasted fresh.  I just poured it over ice, added a little lemon and…voilà, a delicious glass of Tetley iced tea!

Color Your Smile With Lighted Lip Gloss

When I purchased Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss, I figured it would be a cute gift for my 13 year old daughter.  Before giving her the gift, I tried the product to see if it actually worked and I was not throwing my money away on another lip gloss.  Well, Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss really impressed me!  Right now it is in “my” pocket book being used by me!  The convenient mirror on the lip gloss helps me glide the gloss on my lips when I do not have a mirror handy and the light is a incredible idea which helps in many situations!!! The long lasting lip gloss stays on your lips hours  after applied.  Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss comes in several shades.  My favorites are Crystal and Jewel!!  Yes, I had to purchase more to give to my daughter!! Check out all four shades at   http://www.whiteninglightning.com/color-your-smile-lighted-lip-gloss/
