WILDCHILDS by Eugenia Melián, A Novel About The Underbelly Of The Fashion Scene

WILDCHILDS by Eugenia Melián, a novel about the underbelly of the fashion scene with knowledge from a genuine insider. (Fiction)

“Only with fiction I could tell the truth,” says the Author, Eugenia Melián. “I wrote for three years, I wrote all day, every day, I wrote Saturdays and I wrote Sundays.”

This is her first novel.

 

Wildchilds

 

“If fashion photographs could talk, and felt like telling the truth, you’d have Wildchilds – an accomplished and compelling first novel by a true insider. Melian’s descriptions of the steamy rise of sexual attraction on a fashion shoot are matched only by her exquisite, enchanted descriptions of a dark and secret Paris unknown to visitors.”  –  Joan Juliet Buck, author of The Price of Illusion and editor in chief of French Vogue 1994–2001.

“A delight to read with real insight into the dark side of the 90s fashion scene. Wildchilds has gripping characters and a plot that makes it difficult to put down.” – Celia Forner, top model, founder of Alleven

“Wildchilds will take you beneath the surface of the beautiful and seductive fashion world, immersing you in a captivating dark tale where young beauties coexist with master manipulators.” – Peggy Sirota, photographer/director.

Feeling compelled to begin this journey through the dark world of the fashion industry, I am about to start reading Chapter One! Join me! Get your copy of  WILDCHILDS at Amazon

Kylie Jenner and a Nexxus Reveal

Kylie Jenner, no one does a reveal quite like her! She took us all by surprise once again by dying her real hair a silvery platinum shade last week. To care for the aftermath, Jenner teamed up with Nexxus to treat her hair with the proteins that damaged hair loses by using the Nexxus Keraphix range. If you didn’t peep her Instagram story yesterday, check out the pic of Kylie below using Keraphix on her newly dyed hair  and what she said to fans – “As you guys know, I bleached my hair completely and went platinum which is really, really damaging. But I have been using the Nexxus Keraphix treatment every week and this has really helped me. If any of you are thinking of bleaching your hair, my hair feels really, really good.”

 

Kylie Jenner

 

Hair is made up of more than 90% protein. When it is exposed to external aggressors like color, the proteins can get depleted, causing the hair to become vulnerable. Nexxus Keraphix range – infused with Keratin Protein and Black Rice – was designed by our scientists to heal visible signs of severe hair damage from within.

 

A single dose of the $15 Keraphix protein treatment that Kylie is using contains a protein amount equivalent to that lost from extremely damaged hair over a year – it is the brand’s most potent protein blend to-date.

 

That’s why it is the perfect, affordable solution when taking the leap to platinum. And why others before her, like big sis Kim Kardashian West and Leighton Meester, have put their stands in the hands of Nexxus protein treatments.

 

The Keraphix protein treatment is available at Ulta, Amazon and Target along with the rest of the range (shampoo, conditioner and mask). If you’d like to try the Nexxus Keraphix, either at home or in the salon, please don’t hesitate to request a sample or appointment.

Best Birthday Presents for a 65+Year-old Mom

Mother and Daughter

Image source: PxHere

There’s nothing more heartwarming than a son or a daughter saying ‘I love you’ to their mother. And what better way to show your appreciation than with a great gift. Because most of us are at a loss when it comes to birthday presents for mom or grandma, we have prepared a special list of birthday presents suitable for a woman over 65.

In this article, we’re going to talk about more expensive birthday gifts. So, for those on a budget or, perhaps, looking for a larger selection, you can also check out these 65th birthday gift ideas for mom. There, you’ll find gifts for every pocket and every type of person.

1. Electric Massage Chair
An electric massage chair would probably be one of the best birthday gifts for your mother, especially if she has back issues or aching arches. Do keep in mind that you’ll have to put aside some cash because full-body massage chairs are nothing if not expensive.

However, nothing beats a good back or foot rub after a day of running errands. It’s also the ideal accessory for parents who spend way too much time watching television or sitting in front of the computer. So, if you believe that your mother would find such a gift useful go ahead and make the call.

A full-body massage chair like the Shiatsu Recliner Stretch Foot cost around $800. However, it’s something worth the investment since it is the ultimate relaxation program.

2. Kindle
One thing we’ve learned about our parents is that they really like their books. Of course, there’s nothing more relaxing than to curl up into bed with a nice book but, after retirement, there doesn’t seem to be anything interesting to do than reading.

If your mother’s an avid reader, she would surely appreciate a Kindle e-book reader. Its display mimics the page of the book so that it doesn’t put too much strain on the eyes. This is the ideal gift for a person who feels tired after reading for extended periods.

Kindles usually come with their own collections, but you can always hop on sites like Amazon or Kindle to search for titles that could spark your mother’s interest. If your mother has eye problems, like myopia or hypermetropia, it would be a good idea to purchase a device with a larger display.

3. Single Serve Coffee Maker
Nothing’s homier than the smell of fresh coffee in the morning. If your mom’s a coffee lover, she’ll surely fall in love with the single-serve coffee machine, an espresso maker that can prepare anything from tea to strong morning coffee. The machine works with standard K-cups or reusable ones. To operate it, you’ll need to fill the container with water, add the capsule, and hit the coffee-making button – it’s that easy.

4. White Noise Sound Machine
If your mom has trouble sleeping, a white noise sound machine might be the perfect gift. The cube-like sound player can fit on any nightstand and is capable of playing 20 soothing sounds, such as rain, wind, birds chirping, clock or ocean waves.

Of course, the device’s highly customizable, meaning that your mom will be able to add her favorite Z-time tunes.

5. Draught Excluders

Perhaps there’s nothing more frustrating than having to close doors because of the draught. Well, with this ingenious item, your mom needn’t worry about those pesky gusts of wind coming from beneath the door. This draught excluder fits any door. It has an adhesive bottom and, due to its design, it’s also soundproof.

6. Nostalgia Electrics 64-Ounce Margarita and Slush Maker
There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot afternoon than a cool, home-made margarita. That’s where the Nostalgia’s Margarita and Slush Maker comes in – your mother will be surely taken back by the device, which has been designed to mimic a 60s blender. You can use the machine to prepare margaritas, slushes or delicious juices.

7. Wood Coaster Set
Because nothing beat’s J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and nice cup of tea/coffee, we give you the Lord of the Rings-inspired coaster set. Great for those later Sunday afternoon outdoor parties or for sipping some juice in the living room while watching television.

8. FitDesk Exercise Bike
If you mom’s not comfortable with jogging or any form of physical exercise, you could try this outstanding gift that combines business with pleasure. FitDesk is a completely foldable exercise bike equipped with a little table in front. So, while exercising, you can watch your favorite movie, chat with your children and grandchildren, or simply browse the web.

9. Roomba 980 Vacuum cleaner

Vacuuming the house is never a thing someone looks forward to with joy, regardless of age. The solution is Roomba 980, a fully automated vacuuming drone, that allows you to go about your daily chores without having to worry about cleaning the house. After Roomba maps your home’s interior, it will start sweeping away all the dirt off the floors. The best thing about Roomba is that the drone can be programmed to sweep whenever you feel like it.

10. Challenge Her to a Video Game Duel
Do you like to spend some quality time with your mother and, perhaps, teach her a new skill? Then why not try out playing a video game? Teaching her to play on the computer or the console will help her reconnect with ‘the younger generation’ and, of course, have tons of fun. More than that, it was proved that video games improve hand and eye coordination and, apparently, ward away the early signs of dementia.

Conclusion:
Trying to find that special give for your 60+ mother could prove to be a challenging endeavor. However, with a bit of help from and a dash of imagination, you will surely be able to tell how much she means to you with the perfect birthday gift. Don’t forget to put some money aside if you plan on buying one or more of these gifts because they are pretty expensive.

#denimobsessed STS Blue Jeans Available at Nordstrom, StSBlue.com and Other of Your Favorite Shopping Destinations

#denimobsessed. I have posted on Instagram and other of our social media sites the STS Blue Ellie High Rise Step Hem Skinny Jean (pictured below). I have worn this jean with sneakers, heels, pumps, ankle booties and wedges. I have worn them with just about every style of shoe in my wardrobe. I have not though with flip flops or thong style sandals. I am not a fan of that look on me but it might look right on you, of course.

Ellie High Rise Step Hem Skinny (Floresta Wash)

Ellie High Rise Step Hem Skinny (Floresta Wash)

 

I love the high rise fit. This jean rise looks best on my (now) body type. I tuck my tops in to show the high rise. Why cover it up?

The STS Blue Ellie High Rise Step Hem is a SKINNY jean so be careful with tucked in blouses and certain tops. You don’t want to look lollipop-ish.

Tip: After tucking in your top,  zip your jeans over it and raise your arms above your head. This will the right amount of shirt fabric to look best.

I turned on Daytime TV to The Young and The Restless a few weeks ago before ever discovering the Ellie High Rise Step Hem Skinny Jean. Sharon Newman (played by Sharon Case) was wearing the same style hem and I really liked the style then. The jeans might have been the STS Blue, brand, but I do not know for sure. Anyone know?

If you are looking for the most fun oversized boyfriend jacket check out the STS Blue boyfriend jacket. The frayed fringe hem on the bottom and sleeves is adorable. This is a new look for me. It is quite an update from the denim jackets that I have in my closet.

There are many YouTube videos online showing “How To” fray or fringe your own jacket or jeans. Don’t just Don’t!

Coconut & Papaya Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Cream from Nubian Heritage

Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Hand Cream

Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Hand Cream

 

Coconut & Papaya Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Cream, for all skin types, combination skin, dry skin, oily skin.

The Nubian Heritage brand is a favorite here at It’s a Glam Thing. We have posted about products from the brand a couple of times past.  Here is a reminder of the last posting that we did. It was an Earth Day posting.

Today is Earth Day, Celebrate the Day with Nubian Heritage

Today we wanted to take the time to mention the Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Liquid Hand Soap and the Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Hand Cream.

The hand cream is absolutely lovely. The smell can’t be beat for this time of the year. The formula includes Vanilla Extract, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Papaya Extract.  There is no need for perfume with this hand cream, especially if you smooth it onto your elbows and knees  too. That is, if you are not lucky enough to have the body lotion and the rest of the Coconut & Papaya collection of products.

The Hand Cream nicely compliments the Coconut & Papaya Polishing and Renewing Liquid Hand Soap.  The Hand Soap also is formulated with the Papaya fruit extract, coconut oil and vanilla extract plus, of course, Shea Butter.

There are other quality ingredients in both products and all ingredients are ethically traded. The ingredients are balanced to exfoliate, nourish and renew your skin. The products are cruelty free. What you won’t find in these formulations are parabens, sulfates, phthalates, paraffin, mineral oil, petroleum, DEA synthetic fragrances or artificial coloring.

You can purchase Nubian Heritage products at your shopping outlet of choice including The Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon and NubianHeritage.com . These are very price friendly for such quality products.

La-Tweez A Top Of The List “Must Have” Beauty Tool

LaTweez Mermaid Illuminating Tweezers with Diamond Dust Tips

La-Tweez Mystic Dreams Mermaid Illuminating Tweezers with Diamond Dust Tips

“The eyebrow is the most important part of any makeup look. It frames and defines the eye as well as the face. Believe it or not the history of the eyebrow starts back in ancient times. It wasn’t until the 1920s when silent film star Clara Bow popularized the “over plucked” look that the use of tweezers on the face came into play. Ever since then, eyebrows changed with the decade and the use of beauty products on the market. However, the first pair of tweezers were not used for the use of tweezing hair from the face. They were originally used just to pick up little objects that the fingers could not. They can also be used for the use of crafts and hobbies such as stamp collecting. The shape and pointed edge made things much simpler.

 Nowadays, the tweezer  can be found in just about every makeup bag. Different types, shapes, and sizes are on the market today. There are tweezers from blunt edge to sharp edge, small and large. You name it it’s there. When I was in school for hair and skin, we learned that the easiest tweezers to use where ones that had a pointed edge so it is easier to get those little, pesky hairs from every little nook and cranny. Now I usually don’t tweeze my eyebrows or chin or other parts of my face but my mom, ever since I could remember, has been the one to use tweezers. Of course the older she’s gotten the worse it has become for her to see in her mirror without her glasses. She uses a clip on light on the mirror as well. All that changed when she started using tweezers from the company La-Tweez in their Mystic Dreams Mermaid design.

 La-Tweez brings ease back into tweezing with a built in light, a slight pointed edge and convenient shape to hold them comfortably. My mom fell in love with them the very first time she used them. She says the LED light is the most attractive feature and is what caught her eye first. She didn’t have to struggle with glasses, finding the perfect lighting, or even attaching the clip on light to her mirror. The first day she got it, she told me she was able to turn on the light and use the reflection in the box. Since she tweezes daily, she also finds these more gentle to use on the skin since they don’t pinch like other tweezers might.

In addition to the LED light, the packaging of this LIMITED EDITION Illuminating Tweezer product actually caught the eye of both of us. Since this is their Mystic Dreams Mermaid design, the ombre use of blue and green and scales really makes you think they just dug it up from the ocean floor. “Very Key West” as my mom would put it. Oh, let me not forget to mention that the Tweezers have Diamond Dust tips!

Along with the packaging came a case that holds the tweezers comfortably and conveniently so they don’t get dulled, bent or dirty. The cosmetic case almost looks like a lipstick holder but when you open it the tweezers sit right inside. This makes it perfect for travel.  It easily fits in your purse or gym bag and doesn’t take up any more room than a pack of gum.

 Each tweezer from La-Tweez really accentuates the personality of everyone on your gift list. Whether they are a “Pretty in Pink” to “Back in Black”, there really is a color for everyone. La-Tweez is designed and tested to fit your needs. When you need to “pluck” grab your La-Tweez. Trust me if my mom loves it so will you. Visit www.latweez.com
