April is Rosacea Awareness Month ~ Do you have Rosacea? Then ATOPALM may just be the skincare system you are looking for!

If you have Rosacea or know someone who does, you are aware of the challenges that are faced on a daily basis with finding not only cosmetics but treatment products for your skin.

AUTOPALM may be just the answer you are looking for. The AUTOPALM products were specifically created for dry and sensitive skin. (QUOTE) “The rich , emollient , yet non-greasy ATOPALM formulas are designed for skin suffering from allergies, rosacea , dryness and sensitivity in need of gentle yet powerful treatment.

ATOPALM is also paraben-free and (QUOTE) “powered by Dermatologist and Opthalmologist tested *plant derived ingredients that mimic skins natural structure and restore skins barrier system. This unique complex hydrates , soothes and calms skin in distress, leaving dry, sensitive skin visibly renewed.”

I really like the phrase “Calms skin in distress”, which is just what you try to do with rosacea, allergies, and dry skin. I don’t have rosacea, but have to really be aware of how I care for my skin since it is somewhat sensitive. I like to have a nice clean feel to my skin. If I use something that is too rich my skin can get a bit bumpy, and and clogged. If I use something that is more aggressive I’ll sometimes get a lot of red irritation.

It’s your First Crush?

Acne. Frustrating isn’t it? We all have had it at one point in our life or another and getting rid of it can be a pain. I know, I have tried one remedy after another and that includes natural remedies that can be done at home. No matter what it still seems to pop up all over the place.

After trying so many products, I finally got rid of my nasty acne using one new and improved product. This product is First Crush Grape Seed Skin Care face wash. First Crush is a 3-in-1 cleanser, toner, and treatment that not only fights present acne but also fights future blemishes and is great for people with sensitive skin. When compared to other products, First Crush’s 3-in-1 not only saves you money but also got rid of the hassle of remembering which one is first and which one is last. That means no more multi product and less cost. For the first time in a long time I am confident in my own skin and I don’t feel like people are looking at my breakouts.

With its light weight milk like texture, First Crush is easy to apply, easy to remove and makes your skin feel refreshed, energized and acne free with just one wash! Even though it takes a couple weeks to see your first results your skin already “feels” the effects. Let me tell you, when you can feel it then you WILL see it. It’s just amazing what it does to your skin.

It’s time to get rid of all those pointless, skin drying products and start using First Crush Grape Seed Face wash. It’s not sold in stores so go online at www.firstcrushskincare.com for your first purchase of First Crush. It’s time to discover what it can do for you!

TRENDING: Spin Classes!…Again:)

Looking for an amazing workout where you can tone up and burn loads of calories in about an hour or less? Well, look no further than your neighborhood spin studio. I know, I know….you’re saying “wasn’t spinning popular in [like] the late 90’s”? Well, yes…but, according to SHAPE magazine, spinning is a fitness trend that is definitely back. And, celebrities like Lady Gaga, Calista Flockhart, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are big fans.

　

So, trying to keep up with the apparently popular-again fitness craze, I decided to check out PEDAL, one of LA’s newest studio cycling facilities. Located in the historic Arroyo Seco neighborhood near the Rose Bowl, they offer indoor cycling, TRX suspension training classes and outdoor group runs and rides.  Director Bryan Yates says they’re also active sponsors of several local fitness events including today’s Team Bicykillers Wine & Spin Event benefitting the AIDS Lifecycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Spin classes at PEDAL

So what draws celebs to places like PEDAL? Well, it’s pretty hard to pass up the benefits*:

  • Weight Loss: Spinning burns calories at a high rate — often 400-1000 calories in a 1-hour class.
  • Strength: In your core, legs, glutes and back
  • Body Shaping: Melt away flab and cellulite
  • Emotional: Spinning produces a huge endorphin rush in the brain, leaving you feeling refreshed, satisfied and accomplished.
  • Heart Health: High intensity cardio activity improves your overall health, reducing the risk of heart disease.
  • Joint Health: Spinning is a safe, low-impact workout. The circular motion eliminates pounding on joints and lower back, making it a great way to get in shape without damaging your body.

Olympic Athlete Shevon Stoddart

Athlete Shevon Stoddart, a member of Jamaica’s 2004 and 2008 Olympic track team, has been training at the PEDAL faclility 2-3 times a week during her preseason prep for the 2012 Games in London. She told me that spinning is her “little secret” and says that it helps her cardio and allows her to get workouts in without putting extra pounding on her legs.
 
Shevon Stoddart discusses spinning.
 

She looks amazing….okay, I think I’m sold!

How to Wear Spring’s Hottest Trends—More Than Once

Info from Fashion Stylist and Designer Claudia Patel (claudiapatel.com) Tamasha Knit (www.tamasha-knit.com).

From the west to east coast—it’s quite apparent that early spring has sprung. With temperatures on the rise, early this year, it’s that time of year again. Time to rid your closet of bulky winter clothing and decorate it with your favorite seasonal red carpet and runway-inspired trends. When shopping for your spring wardrobe, how do you pick versatile items that can last through the season? Fashion Stylist and Designer Claudia Patel and Tamasha Knit Designer Haesu Kwon break down this year’s spring versatile must-have items that can be worn throughout the season in a number of ways.

Bold and Bright Accessories

Bold colors and accessories are big for spring this year. “It’s time to purchase pieces reflecting colors of the rainbow; neon orange or tangerine are great colors for the coming season,” touts Haesu. This spring it’s all about making a statement—in color. Large floral patterns, futuristic prints and color-blocking are just a few of the many colorful trends you will want to purchase for the spring when it comes to clothing. What about when it comes to your accessories? “A statement belt is a great piece to purchase,” explains Claudia. “Liven up your outfit with a neon belt or a bold bag. Be bold and daring with your accessories. You can easily wear them in the summertime for a fun summer look as well. Same goes for your flats. Experiment with different colors and patterns to spring your basic outfit to a whole new level.”

Spring Cardigans/Shirts

Dress your closet up with cardigans, pastel colored shirts and feather-weight sweaters in shades of mint and peach. “Though bold colors are in for the spring, you should make some extra closet space for pastels for the season,” suggests Haesu. This is a look you can take with you into early summer. Wear your pastel shirt with a simple pencil skirt. Add some bold or tribal jewelry to make a statement. Versatile cardigans are a must this spring. And if the temperature starts to rise—wear your cardigan as an accessory. Simply wrap your cardigan around your shoulders. “Cardigans are great for layering and can be worn in number of ways, adds Claudia Patel. “Throw on a cardigan over your dress to add a pop of color. Take your look from day-to-night—dress your look down with a cardigan and remove for a night out with friends. Experiment with different patterns and shades. If a cardigan is not your style, try light spring blazers. Same guidelines, different look!”

Spring Dress

With talk of pastel cardigans and bold accessories—you will need the perfect spring dress. Try a basic neutral dress or a bold simple one. What better versatile piece to use as this year’s spring fashion canvas? “A neutral dress is a fashion staple that can be transformed into a number of looks, ranging from classic to fun,” says Claudia Patel. Basic neutral tones are big this spring. “Pair a basic nude dress with a pop of color, bold colored flats or bright jewelry,” adds Haesu. “There is nothing boring about neutral. Add metallic hardware to make a statement without being too bold. Don’t stick to one trend or restrict yourself. Pair a bold dress with metallic accessories. Mix two bold complimentary colors. Mix trends or change them up with your personal style. It’s all about feeling confident and being you.” Though basics are great, floral prints are also a hot trend this spring. “Wear a floral short dress with metallic pumps, says Claudia. “Pick complimentary and contrasting colors to change up your look from week to week. You can wear the same dress and transform your look each time. Throw on a blazer to make your outfit work appropriate. Spice it up with heels and wear it to a dinner with friends.”

Miracle Skin Transformer ~ Treatment , Beauty, and SPF20 all in one!

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20

This is the first of a two article series about a breakthrough in skin care that brings you state of the art treatment, cosmetic qualities that give your skin a natural smooth coverage, and SPF20 protection all in one product . If you think it sounds pretty amazing, it is!

I was first introduced to, and wrote about Miracle Skin Transformer for Men this past holiday season.
Miracle Skin Transformer felt on his skin, how smooth his skin looked, the SPF20 protection, and that it was all in one tube.

I immediately went to the online link :www.miracleskintransformer.com and read about the products that were available and purchased the Miracle Skin Transformer in a Light Tint, and a Light and Light/Medium product called Treat and Conceal for eyes and face.

Treat and Conceal intrigued me since it also was a treatment and cosmetic product in one tube that concealed and evened out the skin. How versatile!
(You can read all about this product and others I’ll be talking about in this article on the website link above.)

Not only was I looking forward to trying these products myself, but as a national makeup artist working in HD-TV, and “Key” makeup artist on a National PBS Series, I was curious to see how Miracle Skin Transformer products would look on camera.

Personally liking a flawless finished look, I used the Miracle Skin Transformer in Light and then layered and blended some of the Treat and Conceal in Light/Medium over the top. I used the Light Treat and Conceal under my eyes and found the coverage like a second skin!

In my makeup room at the studio on a day we were taping the TV show, I was able to really be creative with some of the guests who would be appearing on the program. Over the years I’ve noticed many guests prefer a no makeup look. Miracle Skin Transformer was a great product choice to use for a soft natural look by layering and blending colors that to the surprise of the guests felt so light weight on their skin, they were very comfortable with not only the feel of the product but how they looked!

As for the host of the program, A blend of Light and Light/Medium Treat and Conceal turned out to be a flawless under eye concealer, and I used the Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 as a perfect primer, under her regular makeup. It looked terrific on camera!

Miracle Skin Transformer would now be going into my professional case, so I needed to order some more product for myself!! It was perfect timing since the innovator of Miracle Skin Transformer , Sarah McNamara, was making her debut on Home Shopping Network (HSN) and I was looking forward to her appearance.

I’m thrilled that I will be interviewing Sarah McNamara in the 2nd article of this 2 part series in April.
You may read more about Ms.McNamara at:
http://www.miracleskintransformer.com/meet-sarah/

Sarah McNamara

On HSN I not only replaced my product but purchased two new products that are very effective yet easy on your skin.
Take a moment to visit: http://beauty.hsn.com/sarah-mcnamara_c-bs_a-9131_xc.aspx?gs=

My two new products include:

1. Miracle Skin Transformer Hydroactive Cleanser that not only dissolves dirt and oil but deeply cleanses your skin, yet is soothing and hydrating. The treatment in this product consists of MP3 complex , also in Miracle Skin Transformer, and Treat and Conceal (Quote) “A powerful antioxidant blend that works hard to fight free radicals.”

2. Miracle Skin Transformer Hydroactive Microderm that will help “soften and refine” the texture of your skin, and impart radiance and clarity to your skin. This product also contains (Quote) “ MP3 complex ,a blend of algae, vitamins, and antioxidants for increased hydration and more luminous skin.”

I’m very impressed with the feel of my skin after I use these two products. When I apply my Miracle Skin Transformer after each use, my skin texture is so soft and looks very smooth and healthy!

I’ll include the link to Miracle Skin Transformer again, since it’s filled with information I know you’ll be interested in perusing. You may also find the location of a store that sells Miracle Skin Transformer products near you, or if you’d like, purchase them right on this website:www.miracleskintransformer.com

Make sure you check back in April for my interview with Sarah McNamara and more about Miracle Skin Transformer!

Coty Beauty’s newest fragrance “GUESS Seductive I’m Yours” is Exciting yet Elegant.

 

 

I received an invite to a fashion show during Style Week in Providence, RI.  Early morning after getting dressed, I applied “GUESS Seductive I’m Yours” and  was out the door to begin my day.  Being a busy mom of four, I took  the children to school, worked at my husband’s office for a few hours, went grocery shopping  and then went off to view all the new fashions at the show.

I loved the fact that this sexy and feminine fragrance lasted all day!  I  walked into the show feeling, confident and glamorous.  I received many compliments about the  captivating fragrance I was wearing.

Perfumer Pierre Negrin,  created “GUESS Seductive I’m Yours” to add to the Guess collection.  It is an oriental floral fragrance with a tiny hint of creamy musks and exotic woods.  This fragrance is more than a classic scent.  This  girly,  pink colored bottle with fishnet graphing and a dangling gold heart charm is perfect to display on my dresser.

When I returned home, the  most important compliment came from my husband. Seductive I’m  Yours, stole the show!

Coty Beauty also released its newest men’s scent called “GUESS Seductive Homme”, a fragrance designed for men.  My husband gave it a thumbs up, and coming from a guy who only favors  a few fragrances this is  a big compliment.  I loved it too!!   The fragrance has a  masculine, appealing scent, one I absolutely adore.  The bottle is very appealing as  well .  A  weighted gunmetal colored cap gives the bottle a distinct masculine appeal.

Gentlemen,  you  will find this bold and attractive scent  in an  After Shave Balm, Deodorant Stick and  Deodorant Body Spray.

Please visit  www.coty.com for additional information on their entire fragrance line.

New Year’s Resolutions

A New Year….filled with bright hope and promise. Like many people, I make New Year’s resolutions. In fact one of my closest friends and I make them and send them to each other to see how well we do. We became friends when we were 15, so you can imagine the resolutions have certainly changed. From passing chemistry, to finding a job, to losing weight, exercising more, eating healthier, I am sure that he has kept most of them, so they will be amusing to read and reflect on what our younger selves deemed as important. We’ve become smarter as we’ve gotten older!

In the past, we have compiled a list of tasks. Often while the resolutions may be lofty, some are also completely unrealistic. These tasks are laden with guilt and unknown inspiration to accomplish them. Not quite an unknown inspiration, rather our perception that by achieving these resolutions, we will have the “perfect “life. Or the perfect life as we think it to be.

This year we are looking at resolutions differently. While we can appreciate that we would like to do more, we are becoming more realistic as to what is resolutions are. Resolutions are not a way to achieve a “perfect” life, but they are a way to see our lives as being perfect, flaws and all. While I may not be able to become fluent in 3 different languages this year, I can see the beauty that is currently all around me. I need to take the time, stop, see it, and appreciate it. Technology is wonderful, but life seems to be moving at warp speed. I have no idea where 2011 went.

This year we want to find the time to include one thing that makes our day seem meaningful or worth-while. We have resolved to stop beating ourselves up for what we should have done and begin to recognize and be thankful for the one thing that we did do. Whether it is being nice to a stranger, calling a friend, trying a new recipe, spending time brushing a pet, even sleeping late and relaxing, it is being able to look back at one thing that you did that you are thankful for and appreciate.

It is to keep growing and learning, and also living life in the now. I am hoping that my New Year’s resolution will make me more conscious of doing things that I care about. You always hear how people near the end of their lives reflect on how they wished they had done things that were more meaningful to them. So here is to 2012. New beginnings. A time to realize that while I can’t change the past, I can be grateful for the lessons that I’ve learned. A time to realize that tomorrow isn’t here yet and spending time trying to anticipate its arrival wastes time today. Today is in my hands, make the most of it! Do the things that have meaning to you!
