Brass & Unity Jewelry Designed By Veteran

Brass & Unity – This stunning jewelry line was created by a female veteran who returned from Afghanistan with PTSD. She now gives back a percentage of profits to veterans. Each of her bracelets tell a story. We particularly love the Brass & Unity matte black onyx bracelet that helps to calm your fears, leaving you feeling stable and secure.

Brass & Unity

Brass & Unity Jewelry Founder, Kelsi Sheren, tells us about herself: “I served in the Canadian Forces, including a tour in Afghanistan during the summer of 2009. After fighting on the front lines (Infantry & Artillery), I was diagnosed with severe PTSD and forced to return home.  I always wanted a way to give back to Veterans less fortunate than me. One day a light bulb went off, and by allowing me to combine the art therapy of creation, with support for other Veterans around the world, B&U is truly something I am proud to share with the world.  We want our products to be reminders to our customers. Reminders to stay strong – whether it’s for you, a loved one, or a memory of someone important in your life. We aim to tell a story, our story, your story, and all of our stories with each uniquely created collection.”                                                 – Kelsi Sheren, Founder

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.

Chain length choices are 16, 18 and 20 in. There is an extra $5 charge for the 20 inch chain. We are partial to the 18 inch length.

Lip Quench Electrolyte Balm

Lip Quench Electrolyte Balm

 

We have been getting a lot of pitches the past few days for National Hydration Day on Saturday, June 23. Honestly, we have had little time to check those out. We will be doing so.  But right here, we have Lip Quench Electrolyte Balm with Broad Spectrum 25.  So let’s celebrate upcoming National Hydration Day with a ‘Shout Out’ to sweatWELLth for bringing us these Tinted Electrolyte Balms.

Direct from sweatWELLth.com : “Same great formula as our original star; loaded with the hydrating goodness of encapsulated electrolytes all while giving you a sheer hint of color. Dry, chapped lips aren’t only a winter worry. Like your hands, your delicate lips are typically exposed to the elements—literally leaving them out in the cold. Our emollient-rich balm is infused with electrolytes (yep, the same ingredient found in sports drinks) helps to retain optimal hydration levels. Plus, our time-released cooling technology keeps lips cool while zinc oxide reflect harmful (and aging) UVA and UVB rays.”

We especially love that this formula protects against sun damage.  We can not stress enough how important that is. Lip Cancer is more common than most think yet most of us overlook the possibility. Find out more at skincancer.org .

“People forget to protect their lips,” says Elizabeth Tanzi, founder and director of Capital Laser & Skin Care, and associate clinical professor in the department of dermatology at George Washington University Medical Center. “Skin cancer in this area can be particularly dangerous, which is why everyone needs lip balm with SPF.”

Read the directions on the Lip Quench Electrolyte Balm packaging for proper use.

The balm just recently launched. You may be one of the first of your friends to pick one up and spread the news. You can get Lip Quench Electrolyte Balm in shades of BARRE (Pink), HIIT (Nude), XFIT (Plum).

WhitenFresh On -The -Go

WhitenFresh On -The -Go

 

This freshens breath on-the-go, whitens teeth on-the-go and does it without causing tooth sensitivity. You will definitely want to order the pack of two. Our East Coast Editor never leaves the house without a bottle in her purse. It’s great to use especially for the whitening effects after drinking coffee, tea or wine. Use the EverSmile WhitenFresh On-The Go Whitening Breath Spray after any meal or just when your mouth and breath feel and smell yucky. You can use it on aligners and mouth guards too.

The earrings are very lightweight, which is great for anyone and especially those suffering from the effects of wearing heavy earrings too much in the past. The hooks are made from nickel free iron in four styles; silver, gold, antique gold and antique bronze.

All items are handcrafted and custom orders are available.

It seems earrings run mostly $17 and $22. Most of the Tassle Necklaces are  available for $29 – $58.

Valentine Make-up, Date night is approaching

Have you picked your favorite hair and make-up combo for Valentine’s date night?  Here are some makeup tips brought to you by Beautypress.com.
photo beautypress com

photo beautypress.com

Stripped back but sultry is a new way to play this February 14th. Modeled on the likes of Alicia Vikander, a golden taupe cream eye shadow dabbed onto the top lid and lower lashes and framed with a black pencil three quarters of the way along the top lash line makes for an eye look that gives just enough shine without looking too OTT.  Finish off with lashings of mascara and a nude lip, this fresh faced look turns heads without the need for red!

Channel Bridget Bardot. Black eyeliner and an easy half-up style makes for the ultimate sexpot look! Trace your top lashes with black liner, flicking the line up ever so slightly once you get to the outer corner, not skipping the bottom lashes. A shimmery nude eye shadow, cream or powder, can then be blended over the lid and up over the brow bone, finishing off with lashes of mascara. Team with fresh skin and a dab of blusher and add a slick of sheer nude gloss to create the illusion of fuller lips.

It’s a known fact that when two people fall in love it may well have to do with scent. And the sales records are there to show that love doesn’t go only through one’s stomach, but also through one’s nose. The business sector of body care and beauty products alone can boast with turnover of approximately 62.46 billion U.S. dollars every year, and that only in the United States. Perfume is the queen of all gifts. However, in order to choose the best scent for your beloved, you should always consider their personality and style. Fresh scent creations are better suited for athletic personalities, while subtle, flowery scents are often a wonderful fit for romantic-playful types.

You can never go wrong with the classic reds on Valentine’s day. Teaming lips and nails makes for an alluring and co-ordinated look that will go with almost any outfit. To avoid makeup overkill, opt for a fresh face and just a slick of eyeliner to compliment your lip look.
