Actress Simona Fusco Shares her Beauty Secrets
Simona Fusco is best known for the beautiful Swedish bombshell Ulsa in “Beerfest” and Hedda in “The Pool boys” (an American Pie franchise) 
Simona has been a cover model for numerous publications including Maxim, Esquire, FHM and People Magazine. Her latest acting role is on the Family Film ” Beverly Hills Christmas” which will premiere Nov 1-7 2015 on UPTV starring Dean Cain where she plays the bad girl ,Yvonne.
Q: How do you keep yourself looking camera ready?
Simona: I have to make sure that I stick to my beauty regimen by first taking all my makeup off every night and applying the proper products to protect the face.
Q: What type of beauty products do you use?
Simona: My beauty secrets are pretty simple: I invest in good products. Some of my faves are La Prairie, Natura Bisse and Luzern. All of these products are available at spas.
Q: Do you do anything else to keep your lovely skin looking great?
Simona: I love to indulge in facials once a month to keep my skin in shape. For my body, to keep my skin soft and moist, I love Kiehl’s Creme de Corps. I get it at a department store. It has all natural ingredients and leaves your skin looking dewy and subtle.
Q: What about your long mane of hair?
Simona: As far as my hair, I love Kerastase. My hair salon sells it but most department stores sell it as well. I love the yellow and red kind which moisturizes color treated hair.
Q: What is your best kept beauty secret?
Simona: When it comes to water it’s very important to drink good water and even shower and bathe in good water free of aging and unhealthy chemicals. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and therefore absorbs everything you apply. I use a filter in my shower to get rid of any chlorine and other chemicals that not only damage your skin but also your hair and prematurely ages you. I drink plenty of water and eat healthy organic whole foods. I’ve invested in a machine called Kangen water which filters all the bad chemicals out of your drinking water system. I highly recommend it as its used in hospitals in Japan to cure life threatening diseases and skin issues. Other than that I believe in surrounding yourself with positive, supportive, driven individuals is not only good for your soul and psyche but also makes you feel good about yourself and your outlook on life which in turn makes you beautiful from the inside out. Happiness gives everyone a healthy glow!

Color loving with Framesi
My mom, Sharon Hatcher, is back with another great blog! Here she shares her “Color Loving” with Framesi Color Lover! Check it out below.
Framesi Color Lover Shampoo & Conditioner is great to help retain that perfect color that you love so much for a lot longer. It is gentle and therefore the color you started with stays true for a longer period of time. Made in the USA and free of sulfates, paraben, gluten, DEA & sodium chloride makes this product a great choice to give your hair the TLC that it needs. I really liked the body that my hair has after using these products. I thought I was ready for a haircut, but found that I was really enjoying my length with it’s new bounciness & body. You only need a little each time you wash your hair so that means the product lasts longer than most. Framesi also has a line of hair color that you might want to check out. If you would like to acquire some of your own “Framesi” products, go to http://www.framesiprofessional.com/Locator/Salon to find a salon near you.

Keep Motions in Your Natural Curls
In my day to day dealings I get asked all kinds of questions about my natural hair. How long have you been natural? How long does it take to do your hair? Is it a lot of work? What products do you use, and so forth and so on? Here are the answers; my whole life, it takes a while, not if you have the right products and the hair care line I use is Motions Hair Care. It has everything my hair needs to thrive in its natural state from my wash and go to my twist outs.
The key to having healthy natural hair begins with clean moisturized hair. Motions Shampoo is a great start; it gets your scalp clean and eliminates the build up from all the products that we put on our hair daily. Motions Shampoo gets my hair thoroughly clean and ready to receive the conditioner to lock in that moisture my hair so desperately needs. Motions Conditioner is creamy, rich and simple to use. All you have to do is massage the conditioner from your roots to the ends of your hair for about 3-5 mintues then rinse. It makes my hair so soft and easy to detangle, which as every natural hair chick knows that detangling can be the most tedious part in doing our hair.
To ensure your hair stays conditioned and moisturized Motions Leave-In Conditioner and Hair Styling Cream combined with Motions Hair Oil is to die for! I just section my hair into four parts and then grease my scalp using the hair oil to stimulate my scalp and then use the leave-in conditioner (a little goes a long way). Once you put the leave-in conditioner on your hair and comb through you will notice right away how your curls will be full and bouncy! You can stop there with your wash and go and walk out knowing your natural curls are rocking. However, if you want to manipulate your curl pattern and style with a twist out or whatever style you like, simply start the styling process and let it dry. I don’t use heat so I usually let my hair dry overnight and take down the next day. I take down my twist out and spray my finished look with Motions Oil Sheen for that luxurious shine that leaves my hair light and flirty.
So if you are living the natural hair life or even thinking of it, check out www.Motions.com to get all you will need to let the world know that you love your curls as much as Motions Hair Care products do!

Cleanse your hair with “Gold”
A shampoo & conditioner that does what they say! I had been using up shampoo & conditioner at home to not be wasteful. It really didn’t seem to be a problem until after I had some highlights put in my hair and spent a few days at the beach. The split end look arrived big time and it was definitely noticeable! I asked my “cosmetology” daughter what to do & she suggested Goldwell Dual Senses.
The first thing I noticed in using it was the wonderful light fragrance. It smelled a bit “fruity”, but not overwhelming; perfect! Then I noticed the texture of my hair was softer & it actually felt lighter. Now I was getting impressed. My hair in just a few short minutes smelled good and felt good. Wow! I couldn’t help but wonder if the disappointment was yet to come later. After my shower, I was anxious to get to my mirror to see how manageable my hair would be. First I noticed the ends actually looked better and when I ran a comb through, their was no tangles; that’s right, no tangles. The highlighted color looked great and showed no lightening or change in shade. So far, I thought this shampoo is perfect, but I didn’t want to make a final judgment until I had used these products a few times.
Sometimes I have to wash my hair more often than I should because after working outside in the yard I have to head to the shower. Two or three times the first week, I washed my hair using Goldwell Dual Senses and I got the same great results, so I am now a “user” of this fine product. It has made a difference in not only how my hair looks, but also how it feels.
I read the shampoo/conditioner containers and noticed it is made in Germany and is a salon exclusive product, so ask your hairstylist about Goldwell Dual Senses Fade Stop Shampoo, especially if you use any color.
For more information on Goldwell and where you can get your own check out www.goldwell.us

Turn to ORGANIX for Softness and Shine
Organix Moroccan Argan Oil
My 17 year old daughter is getting tremendous results with Organix’s Moroccan Argan Oil hair care line. She already uses Organix Surf Paste and Organix Sea Salt Spray and you can read about them here; http://donnaraheb.itsaglamthing.com/?p=5792. Adrienne found another product in the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil line called Intense Moisturizing Treatment and she loves it. Organix Intense Moisturizing Treatment is the perfect compliment to the Shampoo and Conditioner in the same line.
After Shampooing and Conditioning, all it takes is a small amount of the Intense Moisturizing Treatment evenly distributed onto your hair. The best way to do this is with a wide tooth comb, this makes distribution from scalp to roots more thorough. Adrienne leaves the Intense Moisturizing Treatment on for 5 minutes then rinses off. To enhance the treatment, after applying, place a shower cap over your head and wrap a hot towel around it, this sounds very relaxing too! Adrienne says that after the treatment, and her hair is left smooth and feels silkier than ever.
The moroccan argan oil found in Organix Intense Moisturizing Treatment helps restore your hair’s health and enhances shine and bounce, not to mention your hair will smell fantastic. Intense Moisturizing Treatment will help protect your hair from damage caused by hot styling tools as well as the UV rays from the sun. Adrienne is enjoying all the benefits Moroccan Argan Oil has to offer, especially the softness and shine.
You can view the complete Organix hair care line at http://www.organixhair.com/ Organix Hair Care products can also be found at most major drug stores nationwide.

If you Want Curly then BE CURLY with Aveda
Aveda be Curly
- I love my curly hair! This wasn’t always the case, but with many hair products on the market that help enhance curl and control frizz, I am loving my curls even more. The problem is, not all curl enhancing and frizz control products meet my expectations. I have experienced hard hair, sticky hair and curling products that have made my hair so soft, my curls went flat, seriously.
- I have tried many products for curly hair that just don’t work. I am not going to tell you about those. What I am going to tell you about are the Curling products that really work. Aveda be Curly Curl Controller REALLY WORKS!
- What I especially like about Aveda Curl Controller is the way it helps my frizz. With 95 degree weather and high humidity, this is an important feature for me. My curls are not stiff but soft and full. I can easily run my fingers through my hair without them getting stuck. I just apply it to my damp hair and with a little scrunching my curls just fall into place.
- As stated by Aveda, be Curly Curl Controller is “A unique liquid complex that smoothes and elongates curly to tight-curly hair while moisturizing and conditioning, creating touchable curls with natural movement”. Some other wonderful features of be Curly Curl Controller is that it is safe for color treated hair, like my own and is 95% naturally derived. be Curly Curl Controller has a wonderful citrus scent containing organic lime, lemon, bergamont, orange and other pure plant and flower essences.
Aveda has more fabulous products and they can be found at http://www.aveda.com
