I’m Heading back to school with DOVE

images

Dove carries some of the best body washes. I love the creamy texture and the thick lather. The scents of the body washes are fantastic especially Dove’s newest scent, Purely Pampering Sweet Cream with Peony.  The sweet peony scent lingers on your skin long after you wash and it smells so so good. I love how my skin feels after washing and I especially love that Dove is Dermatologist Recommended. Dove has NutriumMoisture™ technology which will treat your skin with natural nutrients. Your skin will feel soft and refreshed.

I have already stocked up on Dove body washes and soap bars to bring back to school. The body wash is 21 oz. and will provide me with many showers. I plan on leaving a soap bar at my sink to wash my hands and of course the fragrance of the soap will make the bathroom smell great. The Dove soap bars also contain ¼ moisturizing cream for added moisturizing. You can find Dove products at stores like CVS, Walmart, Walgreens and Target.

Beauty Bucket List 10 Unexpected Must Do Things

unnamed-6

Want to look, feel and think more beautifully? We called upon several experts in dermatology, longevity, psychology and even plastic surgery to bring you 10 unexpected things to consider adding to your beauty bucket list. They are…

  1. Only drink water for 30 days. Imagine the benefits to your skin, hair, nails and overall body when you cut out sugars, caffeine, alcohol, and anything artificial and go straight H20. Dr. Christopher Calapai D.O. anti aging and stem cell specialist says, “be sure to drink pure water and if it gets boring add lemon, lime, or blueberries. Within the first week you will notice skin that is plump, glowing, clear and soft. By the second week people will take notice asking what you have done. The difference, for those who stick to a water only beverage plan for 30 days is astounding.”
  1. Ditch all facial products for a month. Look at your bathroom countertop and drawers. Product overload is common. Perhaps you bought into the promises of one product then jumped to another and another. Clear the clutter and clear your skin. Dr. Kally Papantoniou a board certified dermatologist in New York urges people to get rid of old expired skincare products and get back to basics. Using a simple non comedogenic facial cleanser and a moisturizer with SPF each day for a month will allow the skin to heal itself and return to a natural state. After 2 weeks of a simplified skincare regimen you may see fewer and less intense breakouts, less dryness or less oil.
  1. Change your hair color and style.

It’s quite common for women to drastically change their hair after a break-up but why wait for an emotional upheaval? Have long hair? Try a pixie cut! Have a short brown bob? Go blonde! Dr. Sanam Hafeez, NYC based licensed neuropsychologist and teaching faculty member at the prestigious Columbia University Teacher’s College, explains that our hair is a huge part of our identity. “When we really want a change in our lives, the fastest way to shift your mind towards forward progression is to alter our appearance in a major way. The best part with experimenting with hair is that it can grow back and you can enjoy different styles during the grow out process.”

Give the girls a lift or go smaller!  Dr. John Zannis a board certified plastic surgeon from North Carolina, says that breast augmentation done to mothers who breastfed multiple children is a game changer. “These women come in to see me feeling as if their breasts don’t match their zest for life. They want them lifted and fuller and back to what they were before breastfeeding.” Further women whose smaller frame can’t handle large breasts leading to back and neck strain and even nerve damage can benefit from breast reduction. “Breast reduction changes lives. I have seen it in my practice. Women feel free going from an F cup to a full B. No more neck aches and shoulder pain not to mention bra straps digging into skin.”

  1. Learn to meditate.Want to appear 5 – 10 years younger within a month? Start meditating. Studies have shown that people who meditate are more optimistic, more calm and able to remain focused. They seem to breathe more deeply and have this general vibe of self-awareness. People who meditate know how to declutter their minds of worrisome thoughts that only perpetuate accelerated aging and illness. Dr. Hafeezencourages her patients to meditate by engaging all 5 senses. “When we sit or lay still and focus on our breathing and immediate surroundings we become fully present.”
  1. Get a skin check up, head to toe by a pro.People mistakenly think that total body skin screenings are for the pale and cancer prone. This is not the case. Even people who never burn in the sun should have a check up. “There are places where precancerous moles like to hide such as in the scalp, behind ears, in-between toes and under nails,” explains Dr. Papantoniou. “It’s always good to be safe and get moles and other growths looked at as we age.”
  1. Get it “fixed.” Maybe you broke your nose playing soccer at 14 and it never healed right affecting your breathing not to mention making a common cold a catastrophe. Now that you’re an adult and your facial bones have settled into place consider a nose job. Dr. Zannis, warns that a broken nose can complicate breathing which can lead to sleep apnea and a host of other sinus issues. “Most of the time it’s not only a cosmetic issue it goes deeper than that. It’s important that the functionality of the nose is a priority. Many of my cases have experienced an injury to their nose which not only affected the appearance but their breathing.”
  1. Buy a luxurious bathrobe. Admit it those robes found at spas and 5 star hotels are comfortable, really really, really comfortable. It’s amazing how something so simple can really make you feel so beautiful. “Adding a touch of luxury to your life is a kind way to pamper yourself. Women of all shapes and sizes have body issues so if it feels great to wrap your body in a plush terry cloth robe go for it!, offersDr. Hafeez.

Go back to bedtime. When we sleep our body repairs itself. When we are overworked, over worried and sleep deprived our bodies don’t have the time to regenerate. This leads to a slower metabolism, poor organ function and sallow, wrinkled skin. “As we age we need a set bedtime and wake-time. The sleep cycle is pivotal for cellular turnover. New mothers often see more wrinkles and a difference in skin texture and radiance because they are awakened several times during the night,” offers Dr. Calapai. Ideally adults need between 6 and 8 hours of sleep each night.

  1. Get those earlobes repaired!From the most simple ear lobe repair for a torn ear lobe, to the more complex repair of ear gauges, you can now have your ear lobe back. Dr. Papantoniou offers this procedure in office, with local anesthesia and stitches that are dissolvable. “The ear heals very quickly and scars are minimal. The ear can be re-pierced 2-3 months after having the repair surgery,” she explains.

Regardless of where you are on your beauty journey of life know that how we feel matters most and feeling good from the inside always makes the outside more healthy, vibrant and beautiful.

Salon styled hair, thanks to Centrix Heat Boss Brush

f5373941-e24a-4b58-b3a3-35fa75158e1c

Salon styled hair, thanks to Centrix Heat Boss Brush Collection!  This brush is available in two different sizes, 1.50″ and 1.75″. In using the 1.50″ brush for myself, I have taken note of a drastic change in my hair texture after blow drying my hair with this round brush. Because this brush contains a chrome plated barrel, it makes it super easy to brush through tangly hair effortlessly and seamlessly resulting in perfectly smooth hair. The great thing about his brush is how customized you can make it. The heat can be monitored depending on the thickness of your hair type! If you are someone with fine hair, than leaving the dial open is a great option to create the best results. If you are someone like me, with medium to thick hair, leaving the dial closed will lock in the heat just by pressing the dryers barrel downwards. Even down to the handle bar, this brush is top notch. It is perfectly fitted to comfortably style and perfect your hair. I love it! It’s my secret weapon when I can’t get to the hairdresser and I need a “do it yourself” blowout!

3 skincare rules you probably don’t know

unnamed

unnamed-1

Advice from the pros at SKIN TYPE SOLUTIONS: You know you shouldn’t be going to bed with makeup on and (hopefully) that you should be using an antioxidant each morning, but there are quite a few skincare rules that most people just don’t know. From the real reason why you shouldn’t use expired drugs to combining two of summer’s most commonly used products, CLICK HERE for three essential skincare rules to follow (and keep an eye out for more in the months to come)!

KNOW YOUR SKIN TYPE

The Skin Type Solutions System evaluates four facial skin attributes to scientifically determine your Baumann Skin Type.

Skin Type.® Dry (D) vs. Oily (O) Your skin’s oil production and ability to hold onto water determine your skin’s hydration status and tendency toward enlarged or clogged pores.

Sensitive (S) vs. Resistant (R) Sensitive skin types experience acne, redness, burning, stinging or frequent rashes. Resistant skin types rarely suffer from inflammation, and need stronger ingredients.

Pigmented (P) vs. Non-pigmented (N) Pigmented skin types experience discoloration, while Nonpigmented skin types are even in color. This parameter is independent of ethnicity.

Wrinkle prone (W) vs. Tight (T) Wrinkle-prone skin types require anti-aging ingredients, while Tight skin types are teenagers and others who are not yet ready for aging prevention.

Skin Type Solutions will customize and prescribe the proper skincare regime for you today.

What to consider when picking an agency for Senior Home Care Rhode Island

images

 

It is apparent that no elderly person desires to live in a nursing home. Many prefer living within the comfort of their own home. When your parent does not like a nursing home, get him/her a caregiver. The caregiver will take great care of him/her in his/her house. Below are factors to put into consideration when picking an agency with proficient caregivers.

Needs and interests

You will be playing a major role in determining the value of care you will receive from the professionals. You are the one that knows the duties to be done by the professionals. It is important to draft a list of the needs and the desires of the patient, which will enable the caregiver to know exactly what to offer. This will empower the experts to directly satisfy the needs of the patient.

Language

While the caregiver is giving his/her services to the elderly person, they will be in constant communication. It is through communication that the caregiver will be dealing with the emerging needs of the patient. Ensure the care giver and the patient speak a common language. Language barrier will only culminate in frustrations and poor services.

Transportation

It is imperative to make it clear if the caregiver will be accompanying the patient wherever he/she goes. Staying in the house will apparently become boring for the patient. He/she would desire to visit interesting places and honor the appointment of the doctors. Thus, specify whether the caregiver will use the car of the patient or his/her car. This will incur transportation costs.

Skills needed/medical

Find out if the caregiver has any additional skills and expertise that will help the patient. Special skills might be needed to handle patients with complex diseases. Patients with high blood pressure need a caregiver that knows of blood sugar testing. The survival of the patient will rely on the knowledge of the caregiver. As such, elect a caregiver with the skills required.

Dietary

Cooking must be part of the package for the senior home care Rhode Island individual’s needs. However, it is significant to know the types of food the patient is expected to take. The professional must be capable of cooking those foods. The patient can starve if the caregiver is incapable of preparing the meals that he/she wants. You need a great cook.

Working hours

There are labor laws that govern this agency. These laws are meant to secure the interests of the workers. These laws affect the working hours of the employees. A good manager will make plans to ensure his/her clients obtain valuable service without fail. Examine the working hours of the agencies. If those hours are not appropriate for you, get another firm.

Flexibility

The needs of the customers change with time. It is essential to employ flexible professionals. Caregivers that find it hard to adjust to the changes will render low quality service. Chances are high the expert will be multitasking. The needs of elderly people are numerous. Without flexibility, it will be unbearable for the caregivers to be proficient.

A Nose Above the Rest: Plastic Surgeon Picks Top 5 Celebrity Noses

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, the nose is the front door. Right at the center of the face, it is one of the make or break features. We got extra nosy (pun intended!) and asked top board certified plastic surgeon and Amazon best-selling author Dr. John Zannis for his top five celebrity noses. Whether you love your natural nose or are looking for inspiration before going under the knife, here are five ladies who are a nose above the rest!unnamed-14J.Lo

 “My rhinoplasty patients constantly point to Jennifer Lopez as an example of their dream nose,” says Dr. John Zannis “Her nose is not terribly narrow, her tip is even, and the shape and size of her nose are perfectly proportionate to the rest of her prominent features.”

unnamed-15

Ashley Olsen 

“Ashley Olsen is the poster child for heart-shaped faces,” says Dr. Zannis “Her face is wider and her chin is slightly pointed, having a straight even nose puts the focus on her big beautiful eyes which is arguably her most striking feature.”

unnamed-16

Rihanna

“Rihanna has one of the most perfectly symmetrical faces in Hollywood,” says Zannis “The bridge of her nose is incredibly straight and her nostrils are wide, balancing the length and narrowness of her face by making it appear wider.”

unnamed-17

Jessica Alba

“Jessica Alba’s nose is the perfect size for her broader face, neither wide nor narrow with a straight bridge and a down-facing tip,” says Dr. Zannis “She has a slightly square-shaped face and her nose brings the eye straight down to her smile and up to her eyes, preventing her from ever looking boxy.”

unnamed-18

 

Rosario Dawson

“Rosario Dawnson’s face is so striking because all her features are bold. When the eyes and lips are big you need a nose that can hold it’s own,“ says Zannis “It fills out her face; if her nose were narrower or smaller it would give her a pinched look and would distract from the beauty of her other prominent features.”

It’s important to offer as much detail as possible when exploring rhinoplasty. Consider that the nose is incredibly sensitive and could take 6 months to a year for a full recovery especially when there is work done to the septum and sinus cavity. “You don’t only want the nose to look great you want it to function well and a good surgeon will focus on both,” explains Dr. Zannis. He also advises people to factor in their face shape and ethnicity. “In addition to a coveted celebrity nose, bring pictures of other family members who have the nose you want. This will ensure that you’ll maintain features common to your ethnicity and family.”

Dr. John Zannis is a New Bern, North Carolina board-certified plastic surgeon and best selling author. A graduate of Stanford University and The University of Cincinnati Medical College, he received his formal training in General Surgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina under the guidance of world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Louis Argenta. During this time, he performed over 5,000 surgical procedures and covered all aspects of plastic surgery including cosmetic surgery of the face and body, complex reconstructive procedures of face and body, cleft lip and palate surgery, hand surgery, facial and jaw fracture repair, and reconstruction following massive weight loss. He blends his interests and studies of classical art and symmetry to his surgery practices.

Mani/Pedi Magic from Skyy Hadley and Lauren B

imgres

Summer time means mani/pedi time, right?! There are endless options for finding the perfect color combo, and these recommendations from Skyy Hadley and Lauren B. of Lauren B. Beauty will help steer you in the right direction for picking the best mani/pedi shades this summer!

  • Skyy Hadley recommends finding colors with undertones that compliment each other. Her favorite combinations for the best summer mani/pedi are:

o   Coral and taupe – this combination bounces off of any sun-tanned skin, whether bronze, brown or lightly tanned. This combination also doesn’t get dried out or look ashy after the 3rd or 4th day like many mixtures often tend to do. The coral is a summer staple and will bring you to a beachy, tropical island.

o   Flat gray with a shimmery gray – this understated, neutral combination gives just the right amount of sparkle and flash.

o   Emerald green with shimmery gold gives you a rich, sultry look with a hint of shine. This color combination is unexpected for summer but looks elegant and fun at the same time.

o   Vibrant hot pink and softer, sparkling pink – These colors will pop against any skin tone for a fun night out/party look for summer. This punchy color combo gives the ultimate summer vibe and defines girly glitz.

o   A warm milky brown contrasted with an orange-gold hue is the perfect combination for hot summer days to take you from the office to a night out. These shades play off sparkling sand or a beautiful summer sunset. The sun-kissed corporate mixture is flattering on all skin tones.

  • Lauren B. loves minimalistic nail designs, including color blocking, cut outs, geometric shapes, and even modern studding to create a modern twist on your manicure or pedicure. Blending neutrals with brighter pops of color allow for unique and fun combinations. Lauren B. recommends:
