Towel and Scarf had a baby…. SweatSTR

B_DNPyeVIAApmA6_grande

I must admit, I am that chick who goes to the gym looking rough; I really don’t care what I look like when I work out. My mindset is I go to the gym to work out and look good when I am away from the gym. Ok, I said I WAS that chick. Now there are so many fashionably fit accessories that allow you to exercise hard and look fashionable. I go to the gym with as little as possible, I don’t even bring a gym bag.

There are many ladies who pack their gym bag to the brim. They carry everything in it but the kitchen sink. I on the other hand don’t even bring a towel. I know, I know that’s so bad, but I do wipe off each machine before and after I use them. The reason I don’t bring a towel is simple. I know a lot of people worry about germs and don’t want their towels on the floor or bench. I don’t worry too much about germs, (as I said before, I wipe it off before I use the machine anyway) but I do worry about where I leave my towel. Did I leave it on a machine, in the restroom, or on the bench? I have lost so many towels because once I am in my zone; I’m focused on my workout and getting out of there. I do however have to keep stopping to get a paper towel between sets to wipe my sweaty face. The developer of SweatSTR must have been watching me at the gym because this product is exactly what I need.


SweatSTR is a hands free towel that can be worn as a scarf. What? Can you believe it, a workout towel that can be worn around your neck without it slipping off or tripping you up on the treadmill? It is not only fashionable, but very useful in this cold, rainy weather. SweatSTR is lightweight and made with 100% cotton sweat absorbent material so it doesn’t feel heavy around your neck.

I can now throw on my workout scarf towel, workout jacket and hit the gym without worrying about stopping and getting a paper towel to wipe off my sweat and I still don’t need a gym bag. Click on the link to get your and this is a great gift for the active people in your life! http://www.sweatstr.com

SOTAH is State of the Art in Hair Care

Unknown

When I find a really good shampoo, I like to pass it along to my readers. SOTAH (State of the Art Hair) is one of those hair care lines that didn’t last long in my bathroom. I managed to keep SOTAH Conditioning Shampoo for myself and my two daughters snagged the Oil Creme Therapy which they love. Janet Zeitoun, celebrity hair stylist has created SOTAH which consists of Conditioning Shampoo, Moisture Boost Conditioner and Oil Creme Therapy.

I am having excellent results with SOTAH Conditioning Shampoo. It does such a great job moisturizing my hair, that it doesn’t need any extra conditioning. My hair is left velvety soft and bouncy. If you need extra conditioning, I recommend Moisture Boost Conditioner. SOTAH Conditioning Shampoo is formulated for chemically treated and dry hair (yes, that’s my hair type) which is why my hair loves this shampoo. I have curly hair and I can’t tell you how nice it is not to have to force a comb through my hair after washing it. The Conditioning Shampoo is Paraben and Sulfate free and suitable for all hair types which makes it so appealing to everyone.

My daughters love the Oil Creme Therapy. They apply a small amount to their fingertips and gently massage from their scalp to the roots. This is a leave-in therapy so you can use it on wet or dry hair. They love that it conditions and protects their hair from hot appliances which they use regularly. Oil Creme Therapy also helps control frizzies and split ends which is a big concern for them. They said that their hair is soft, smooth, shiny (thanks to the coconut oil and Kale extract) and FABULOUS!  The dry air from the indoor heat also causes us dryness and the Oil Creme Therapy is the perfect product to relieve excessive dryness. Oil Creme Therapy is lightweight so it won’t weigh your hair down or make it feel sticky (yes, I have had that problem before with other brands).   

THE SOTAH MISSION STATEMENT: SOTAH caters to needs of multiple hair types, including those with chemically treated hair. SOTAH is in the continual pursuit of creating and introducing new hair care concepts and techniques to the beauty world. SOTAH recognizes the potential beauty in every strand and will aim to develop the ultimate hair care line. 

You can find SOTAH Hair Care at their website sotahhair.com and you will also find more information about the creator and the products themselves.

Are your crow’s feet, dark circles and puffy eyes making you look (and feel) old?

Système 41 Revitalizing Eye Treatment

Introducing the breakthrough eye treatment that smoothes, brightens and hydrates the delicate skin around your eyes – and makes you look years younger!

Do you remember finding your first wrinkle?

I sure do.

I switched on the bathroom light one morning… leaned toward the mirror… and stopped in shock when I noticed fine lines branching out from the corners of my eyes.

I was still in my late 20s at the time, but I remember thinking…

I’m getting old!

But I shouldn’t have been surprised…

Three Reasons Your Eyes Show Your Age First

One of the first places you’re going to see signs of aging is around your eyes. And here’s why…

  • The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin covering the rest of your body. And this makes it more vulnerable to damage and aging.
  • The eye area has little subcutaneous fat tissue. That makes it susceptible to damage from facial movements such as laughing and squinting. Plus, as you age, the fatty tissue becomes less plump – which just adds to the problem.
  • The collagen that gives the skin around your eyes structural support begins to fail as you age. External factors – like exposure to sunlight – increase the levels of collagen-destroying enzymes in your body. Plus, simple sugars attach themselves to proteins in your collagen in a process called glycation, causing your collagen fibers to lose their flexibility and strength.

As a result, facial movements leave a lasting impression in the form of lines and wrinkles… your under-eye skin appears thinner and more translucent… and dark circles begin to emerge.

And before you know it… you’re looking a lot older than you feel!

But I’ve got good news for you…

Ingredients found in nature can help you cheat the time clock and take years off your eyes

If you’ve heard from me before, you already know how I feel about the synthetic and toxic chemicals that are lurking in most of our skin care products.

Manufacturers use them because they’re cheap. And they can even give you good results, at first. But in the long run, manmade chemicals like sulfates and parabens destroy your complexion and even harm your health.

That bothers me a lot because skin care companies don’t need to be using those toxic substances in the first place. There’s an abundance of safe and natural nutrients that work wonders to smooth away your wrinkles… even out skin tone… and hydrate and soften even the driest skin.

The problem is… it’s hard to find safe, gentle eye creams that contain advanced, anti-aging ingredients that are 100% natural.

So I spent years working with top doctors and skin scientists to create my own…

Système 41 Revitalizing Eye Treatment is your all-natural solution for smoother, younger-looking skin

Crow’s feet, dark circles and puffy eyes don’t have to make you look old before your time.

The Système 41 Revitalizing Eye Treatment transforms the skin around your eyes with powerful, age-defying nutrients found right in nature and makes you look years younger – safely and gently.

In this powerful anti-aging formula, you’ll find…

Spilanthes flower extract – to erase laugh lines and crow’s feet

Did you know that every time you laugh, smile or speak, your facial skin is subjected to involuntary micro contractions?

It’s true. You could potentially have thousands of them every day – and that leads to the formation of wrinkles.

There used to be nothing you could do about it – until scientists stumbled upon the myorelaxant mechanism in the flowers of the spilanthes acmella plant in Brazil.

Powerful substances in these red and gold blossoms have the ability to relax your facial muscles and slow down micro contractions – giving you fewer lines and wrinkles. But that’s not all…

Spilanthes acmella extract is rich in alkylamides, which help reorganize and tighten your collagen fiber network – firming your skin and further reducing your wrinkles.

Sounds too good to be true? I thought so too – until I heard about this study…

Scientists gathered together two groups of women aged 45 to 65. They had one group apply spilanthes acmella extract to their crow’s feet twice a day for 28 days. The control group applied a placebo.

And the results blew the researchers and their test subjects away.

The women who used the spilanthes acmella extract saw visible results on the first day – with 36% fewer lines and wrinkles than the control group!

From the first application, 53% of volunteers noticed an increase in firmness, and 61% claimed their skin looked smoother. And the longer the women used it, the younger their skin looked.

Coconut Oil – to protect and hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes

Coconut oil has been a dietary and beauty must-have for centuries, so it’s not exactly breaking news.

But when I was looking for the most effective anti-aging ingredients for the Système 41 Revitalizing Eye Treatment, I realized just how amazing this tropical oil really is.

Coconut oil contains unique medium chain fatty acids that fight off bacteria, viruses and fungus – and act as antioxidants to protect your skin from oxidative damage.

It’s the perfect natural moisturizer. It’s light and gentle enough for your delicate eye area, but at the same time it’s able to penetrate deep into your skin and connective tissues.

Once absorbed, it helps make your connective tissues strong and supple – diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Coconut oil also helps…

  • Ease under-eye puffiness…
  • Erase dark circles…
  • Exfoliate dead skin cells that make your skin rough and flaky…
  • And soften your skin.

It’s Nature’s food for healthy, younger-looking skin!

Kukui Seed Oil – to fight inflammation and restore moisture and elasticity

Kukui seed oil comes from the Aleurites moluccana tree, which is the State Tree of Hawaii.

It’s loaded with essential fatty acids – like linoleic acid, which gives powerful anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and healing benefits. Plus, it’s rich in vitamins A, C, E and other antioxidants that help prevent free radical damage to your skin.

It may be called an oil, but kukui never leaves a greasy film. It absorbs quickly and goes deep into your skin to ramp up moisture, fight inflammation, and reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and wrinkles.

Kukui seed oil also improves the elasticity of your skin – which is vital for your eye area. Plus, it gets rid of dead skin cells and helps regenerate new, healthy skin.

This Hawaiian skin-rejuvenator is the perfect addition to the Revitalizing Eye Treatment formula. It’s gentle enough to not irritate your eyes – but it can take the driest, dullest aging skin and make it smooth, hydrated and radiant again.

And there’s more…

Over 30 natural ingredients work together to reduce crow’s feet, dark circles and puffiness – for younger-looking eyes

Système 41 Revitalizing Eye Treatment is a mother load of anti-aging nutrients that have been proven in scientific studies to plump up skin moisture… diminish crow’s feet… brighten under-eye skin… and tame your puffy eyes.

Along with spilanthes flower extract, coconut oil and kukui seed oil, you’ll find ingredients like…

Sunflower Seed Oil – High in free radical-fighting antioxidants – especially A, C and E – sunflower seed oil protects your delicate under-eye skin from damage… traps much-needed moisture inside your skin cells… and soothes away inflammation.

Olive Squalene Oil – This antioxidant-rich oil helps replace the moisture-rich squalene your skin is losing through the normal aging process – so you can retain your skin’s natural moisture… soften skin texture… smooth away lines and wrinkles… and prevent UV damage.

Sandalwood Extract – This exotic-smelling oil helps soften the skin under your eyes by increasing and restoring its ability to store moisture. Plus, it works wonders to strengthen the underlying structure of your skin and improve elasticity.

Shea Butter – This popular skin-healer contains numerous fatty acids and plant sterols – as well as a healthy dose of vitamins A and E. It works powerfully to protect and strengthen your skin… stimulate collagen production… repair fine lines and wrinkles… and deeply moisturize your skin.

Rose Hip Seed Oil – Harvested from rose bushes traditionally grown in Chile, rose hip seed oil is loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that quickly penetrate and hydrate dry, damaged skin. It protects the skin around your eyes from environmental damage… repairs your skin’s surface… restores elasticity… and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid – This mega-hydrator can actually draw moisture from the air and hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water! When applied topically, hyaluronic acid boosts the moisture levels in your skin, increases skin elasticity and even helps repair free radical damage.

Plus, this amazing formula also contains white tea extract, beech tree bud extract, macadamia seed oil and a host of other skin-transforming vitamins and nutrients that protect your tender, under-eye skin… boost your moisture content… and erase years from your face.

But don’t take my word for it…

Folks across the country are raving about the smoother, brighter skin around their eyes

Be Like a Tree…Change and Let GO!

tree

More than 10 million women are suffering with their body image and it can affect your self-esteem. I am one of the 10 million women that suffers with their body image. I confess, I am coming clean and speaking 100% honest to you. I have lost over 115 pounds and still suffer with my body image. When I look in the mirror I don’t see the image that everyone else sees. It is weird to explain to those of you who have not lost a lot of weight or even gained weight, our minds eye sees what it wants to see versus with is really reflected in the mirror.

You have seen women walking down the street and think, what in the world? Did they NOT look in the mirror before they left the house? (or it could be you) Chances are they did and they really liked what they saw. That is why they are walking out in the streets head up and chest out. It’s so hard to judge others because I know I am guilty of it myself. Almost all of us were either small and gained weight or big and lost weight, but the true test is how we adjust. There are many things that need to adjust, our wardrobe, our attitude, our mind set. We must adjust to reflect that change that has physically taken place. I know that it is hard for us to see our true image, the image that others see us as, our minds eye is very powerful, trust me. Let me share with you some of the tricks and tips that I have learned to use to view myself.

When I look in the mirror, I see a little chunky Elizabeth looking back at me. But in order to see what others see, I take a picture of myself….the camera does not lie. Have you seen a picture of yourself and say “Do I really look like that?” or “Do I look fat?” Well it could be the lighting, it could be that you are in mid smile or mid conversation but your body is what it is. So if you say Dang I look fat in this picture…..that’s probably how other people see you. It could be a million reasons why the picture is not flattering but if you are finding yourself saying “I look fat” in almost every picture you take, you really should look at yourself as you are and not as you were.

There are several things you can do to help improve your self-image and self-esteem. We all know the most obvious is working out and eating right. When we take time to be good to our bodies we really feel good about ourselves. Our self-esteem gets a boost regardless of the scale, we feel as though we are in control, we are making ourselves strong and healthy, instead of letting everything control our bodies.

Another way to feel good about yourself is get new clothes, that fit! I know you used to wear a size 8 but now you are a size 10 or vice versa. No one sees the size of your clothes, the tag is on the inside of your clothes for a reason. Find the size that fits your body style no matter the size on the tag. When you are wearing the proper size jeans no one is saying Dang, I wonder what size those jeans are she is wearing. They are saying Dang she is rocking those jeans!! However, try to squeeze your size 10 into a size 8 and the responses will be a whole lot different. First of all, you won’t feel comfortable and others will be able to tell that as well.

Try a new hair style. Getting a new do is hard, trust me I know. If you have had the same hair style for the past 10 years, it’s time for a change. A cut, new color or even a part on the opposite side. Change is good, not easy but good, it pushes us out of our comfort zone and shakes us up a bit. The great thing about hair is, that it’s just hair and it will grow back or easily change back to what you had before. Try to sit with that new do for at least 4 weeks before going back to your safe style.

Let’s take a lesson from the trees, watch how they change and let things go. This is a great time of the year to clean out your closet, set those new goals, change and let go of the old.

CRYOTHERAPY: THE ‘ICE BATH’ OF THE 21ST CENTURY

CRYOTHERAPY: THE 'ICE BATH' OF THE 21ST CENTURY

CRYOTHERAPY: THE ‘ICE BATH’ OF THE 21ST CENTURY

www.skintologyny.com

 

Whole Body Cryotherapy is the exposure of the entire body to extreme cold (-110 to -170 degrees Celsius), lowering the client’s skin surface temperature to approximately 32 degrees F in 30 seconds. This remains nearly constant throughout the entire session (up to 3 minutes!). Skin receptors sense the cold and send signals to the brain to promote regulatory functions. It basically stimulates the body’s natural response to decrease inflammation, pain, spasms and promote healing. Endorphins will be released into the bloodstream, which relax the body and toxins will be flushed out. This process puts users in a very energetic  mood, that can last up to 8 hrs. Most people experience their best night of sleep after a cryo session. This modality is now available at Manhattan’s SkinTology Medi-Spa.

Whole Body Cryotherapy was first utilized in Japan in 1978 to treat rheumatoid arthritis. In 1998 Russian scientists modified the system which allowed for the technology to become more advance and revolutionary. Skintology’s machine is manufactured and developed in Russia.

Studies conducted over the last two decades have established WBC as a powerful treatment for inflammatory disorders, injuries, and muscle and joint pain. WBC can also be used to treat conditions such as fibromyalgia and rheumatism. The immediate release of endorphins can help with insomnia, fighting depressing and decreasing psychological stress. The accelerated production of collagen improves skin elasticity and texture, reversing skin aging and the appearance of cellulite. Additionally, studies have shown a 500-800 calorie after burn associated with the body’s process to warm itself up. WBC boosts the body’s metabolic rate, accelerating weight loss outcomes. Professional athletes have discovered WBC as a powerful treatment to decrease recovery time and increase athletic performance.

The list below features some of the benefits ‘whole body cold-therapy’ can do for you:

* Decrease in inflammation (anti-inflammatory), pain relief and improved mobility

* Fast recovery from injuries/surgery

* Reduction of cellulite appearance

* Dramatic stimulation of the immune system (boost!), hormones and nervous system

* Instant relief of chronic joint pain

* Burn 800 calories and more; stimulation of the metabolism for weight control

* Stimulates skin regeneration and visibly reduces the signs of aging, wrinkle reduction

* Alleviation of headaches/migraines and physical/mental stress

* Improvement of skin complexion and certain skin disorders

* Increased energy, improved sleep and helps with insomnia

* Improved rheumatoid and osteoarthritis

* Can help reduce itching and inflammation in serious skin conditions (psoriasis/eczema)

* Enhances sports performance and increases muscular resistance to fatigue

* Increases libido/sexual stamina

* Stronger hair and nails

* Helps to provide relief from nerve pain

* Stronger, fuller Hair

* Psychological competitive edge

The staff at Skintology is vigilant about checking a client’s blood pressure before and after the treatment. They never leave someone unsupervised in the sauna.  Technicians also meet with prospective patients and all medical and health concerns are discussed during this consultation to make sure someone is an appropriate candidate.

Will I feel discomfort during the treatment?

Most individuals are surprised to feel how tolerable a cryotherapy session is given such extreme temperatures.  The nitrogen in our cryosauna creates a “dry” cold, which is much more comfortable than an ice bath.  We will provide you with gloves and socks to keep your hands and feet warm.  Our friendly technician will talk you through it and make the three minutes pass quickly and easily.

Can I return to my daily activities following a treatment?

Yes, there are no restrictions to your activities following a cryotherapy treatment.

How often should I do cryotherapy?

We recommend that our patients do their first ten sessions within thirty days and then decide how often they would like to continue.  Many benefits such as a rush of endorphins and better sleep can be experienced as early as the first session, however maximum results are obtained with repeated treatments.

Who is a good candidate for cryotherapy?

People from a wide range of lifestyles and ages are a good candidate for this treatment.  While it is certainly helpful to athletes and those with chronic pain, it is also highly recommended for individuals who simply want to improve their overall health and appearance.  However, there are some conditions that would preclude an individual from utilizing this treatment.

Great starts in the Vichy Laboratories

If you are searching for a cleanser that not only smooth’s your skin but also removes every trace of makeup then you need not look any further. Vichy Laboratories Pureté Thermale 3-in-1 One Step Cleanser is your makeup remover (eyes as well), and toner all in one. Gentle enough for sensitive skin yet strong enough to break down all traces of debris and what not on your skin, it is no wonder Vichy Laboratories is Europes #1 skincare line.

vichy

The Pureté Thermale 3-in-1 One Step Cleanser is made of Captela, a shea butter extract, and is paraben free. It is not made with soap so there is no excess drying and can be used with or without water. It is very lightweight, perfect for all skin types and clears skin of all acne traces. I personally use this 2-3 times a week as a “refresher” of the makeup that doesn’t like to come off lol.

1. First start off with dry skin.
2. Then massage the product into the skin thourghly allowing the product to absorb the makeup.
3. After this take a luke warm towel and just wipe it off. You will be amazed how easily your makeup comes off (even around the eyes).

The New American Plate

unnamed-10

When you hear the phrases “eating nutritious foods,” “juicing,” or “drinking green smoothies,” the first thought that comes to mind is probably one related to weight loss. And truthfully, that is probably the primary reason that most women watch what they consume on a daily basis. However, there are many other health and beauty benefits to consuming foods high in nutritional content, and here are just a few to consider:

Reduced Disease Risk

Many health researchers indicate that eating a nutritious diet can help reduce your risk of various types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and more. This means that focusing on dietary nutrition can help you live a longer life that’s also higher in quality as you’re less likely to be bedridden with some life-threatening disease in your later years.

To decrease your risk, the American Institute for Cancer Research recommends that you simply follow a concept they call The New American Plate. Essentially this means filling your plate two-thirds with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans while the remaining one-third should contain some type of animal protein such as chicken or fish.

Clearer Skin

Many studies have found a connection between diet and skin issues, such as one published in Dermato Endocrinology that discusses how people who eat high glycemic foods (foods higher in sugar) tend to have more acne-related issues. Therefore, limiting these types of foods in your own diet can ultimately result in a clearer complexion.

Additionally, some women have found that eating nutritious foods and drinking vitamin-rich juices helps clear their skin in other ways. For instance, healthy-business owner Jil Larsen was diagnosed with a skin disorder that caused dark spots to appear, and it was all because of what she was eating. However, she was able to reverse it within a few months of changing her diet to one that involved eating more nutrients and juicing.

Fuller, Healthier Hair

Hair loss is a huge concern for a lot of women and rightfully so. Harvard Medical School has discovered that almost one in three women experience this unpleasant issue, typically referred to in the medical field as alopecia. This type of hair loss generally starts wherever you part your hair, with the top of the head showing the greatest effects.

Fortunately, diet can often help, especially if your hair loss is due to a lack of iron. This means that you can have fuller, healthier hair simply by eating more iron-rich foods like red meat, poultry, beans, dark leafy greens, and iron-fortified cereals.

Greater Mental Clarity

Did you know that the foods you eat on a regular basis can impact you mentally? Specifically, they can affect your moods and mood patterns, impact your ability to fight off depression and anxiety, and can even potentially help prevent mind-related disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s.

That’s why the Mental Health Foundation suggests eating fewer processed foods or foods high in sugar. Instead, they recommend that you focus primarily on consuming wholegrain foods (think cereal, rice, pasta, and potatoes), fruit, and vegetables. Furthermore, eating some type of protein at every meal helps regulate your hormones so your brain function stays steady all day long. Fish is always a great option as it contains many good-for-you nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to your heart.

Improving your diet certainly offers many different health and beauty benefits, and these are just a few. If you know any more, feel free to share them in the comment section below!
