Honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month with EMBELLISH

unnamed-4

Founder of B Fragranced, Marilyn Jones, lost her mother to breast cancer at an early age, and her truest and favorite memory of her mother was her scent. This led her to create Embellish, a fragrance that is as unique as the woman who wears it.

The essence of class, romance, and glamour, Embellish embodies all of the characteristics of female sophistication. Indulgent yet light, the fragrance infuses sparkling notes of apple and peach with a splash of citron. With B Fragranced’s mission to encourage women to embrace their feminine individuality, the effervescent notes of jasmine and honeysuckle balance the sultry base of soft amber and sandalwood to make Embellish any woman’s signature scent. Once the fragrance touches your skin, it will adjust to your body chemistry and enhance your natural scent in order to emit a fragrance that is simply your own.

This October, Marilyn is paying tribute to her mother with her brand. B Fragranced is joining forces with their official ambassador Christina “Brave” Williams, reality TV star of “R&B Divas” and Billboard hit artist, to spread awareness with a special limited time offer. A free purse-sized sprayer of Embellish and free shipping will be added to all orders with the code PINKFIGHT at bfragranced.com

For Brave, the fight against cancer hits close to home. The new face of B Fragranced is currently persevering through her father’s diagnosis of prostate cancer and early signs of dementia. Brought together by fate, the fearless Brave and Marilyn are united by a product that they both believe in with a mission to empower all women.

Decorating pumpkins each year is something the whole family looks forward to, but let’s face it, Mom or Dad does most of the work because sharp objects, such as a carving knife, are not exactly made for kids. That’s why you will fall in love with the Spritz Pumpkin Craft Kits! Now you can put the craft paint and supplies out on the table and your kids can decorate their very own pumpkin with ease! This is also a great craft activity idea for a school or birthday party to keep the kids busy. Each kit comes complete with all of the self-adhesive supplies that you need to decorate your pumpkin. The best part is the price-$3.00 for the simple kits such as a bat, witch, fox, owl or cat and $5.00 for a few of the more elaborate decorative design kits which are perfect for adults. Now, head to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin to use with your Spritz Pumpkin Craft Kit!

Planning the perfect party always begins with the perfect party theme. Almost everyone loves Halloween and dressings up in a costume, but some are not into the horror aspect of it and would rather decorate with bright colorful colors or happy jack-o-lanterns. The bright colored Spritz Day of the Dead Party Themed Plates, Napkins, Cups and more are fun. You also can’t beat the price! They start at $1.00 and go up to $2.50. Get yours before they are sold out and enjoy the party!

Thank goodness for cameras! They help us to preserve our memories in photographs and when it comes to Halloween and our children, family, and friends we want to capture every one of life’s moments. Everyone enjoys the current party trend of using photo props and photo backgrounds. You will not be able to resist the Spritz Photo Prop Kit. From Batman, to Frankenstein to Dracula lips, this photo prop kit will have everyone howling with laughter as you snap photos at your party. Price $5.00

Playing dress up is not just for kids when it comes to Halloween. Adults also love to go all out when putting together a creative costume, which sometimes includes face paint, and it’s not always easy to do face painting on your self. Just about any of your local mass retailers carry Temporary Face Tattoos that are quick and easy to use. Use clothing from your own closet along with the Temporary Face tattoos to create a complete costume look! For the spider face, you can wear all black or for the deer you can outfit yourself in brown. The real icing on the cake is the price, at only $3.00. Now you can get creative and join in on all of the Halloween fun without spending a lot of money.

Julee’s Halloween “DIY on the Fly” Project:

Just like there’s more than one-way to skin a cat, there is also more than one-way to carve a pumpkin, or NOT! Here’s a simple, fun and inexpensive way to re purpose your kids old crayons and create festive pumpkin decor for your home or as a table centerpiece without having to use a carving knife.

Supplies: White Pumpkin, Tacky Glue, Crayons, Blow Dryer

Step One: Take the outside wrapper off of your crayons and cut the crayons in half.

Step Two: Glue your crayons on top of your pumpkin using your tacky glue.

Step Three: When the glue is dry use your blow dryer to melt the crayons creating a

colorful pumpkin!

Baby Boom Heats Up as the Temperature Begins to Cool “MUST-HAVE” PRODUCTS TO SETTLE IN WITH BABY

unnamed

As the transition from summer to fall is underway, most expectant Moms are preparing for what they know will be an exhausting, yet mesmerizing first few weeks with their newborn. What they may not know is how much company they will have as new moms. In fact, July through October have proven to be the most popular months for U.S. births in 2012 – 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).1

And while being a parent may be the hardest job a Mom will ever love, there are a few preparations she can make to help allow for smooth sailing when her special delivery arrives.

Soothe delicate skin:
· A baby’s skin is his or her first line of defense and because it takes time for their skin to mature, it requires special care. Moisturization is essential in helping protect and maintain their delicate skin barrier. NEW CeraVe® Baby Moisturizing Cream moisturizes for up to 24 hours with one application. Developed with pediatric dermatologists, this “must-have” cream is formulated for babies with sensitive skin or eczema, as it contains three essentials ceramides and dimethicone to help provide intense moisturization to temporarily help relieve chafed, chapped or cracked skin.

Don’t forget about the sun:
· Protecting your baby’s skin during the scorching summer months is a well-known must.
But don’t be fooled by cool, crisp days; sun protection is necessary 365 days a year. Remember to keep infants under six months out of the sun. Once baby is slightly older, at least six months, apply NEW CeraVe® Baby Sunscreen SPF 45 to help protect their sensitive skin from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. This formula contains 100% naturally sourced physical sunscreen ingredients to provide broad spectrum sun protection and essential ceramides to help repair and restore the protective skin barrier.

Stock up on layer-friendly clothing and blankets:
· Little bundles of joy can quite accurately be described as “bundled” during the newborn phase, but autumn’s temperature swings can make it challenging to keep your baby comfortable. And while nothing says comfort to a baby quite like a soft blanket, many heavy versions may be too bulky to use in a stroller. Keep layer-friendly clothing and blankets on hand to offer flexibility when fall’s temperature begins to dip.

Keep naptime sacred:
· Late nights, early mornings and midnight feedings mean naptime is sacred to a new mom.
Tune out disruptive noise with a soothing sound machine to help baby fall and stay asleep.

Yes, the early stages of parenthood can be exhausting, but these simple preparations can help new parents remain cool as they transition from summer to fall.

###

All CeraVe® Baby products have been awarded the National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance™, which maintains rigorous standards for approval. The entire CeraVe® Baby line is also hypoallergenic and fragrance-, paraben-, gluten- and phthalate-free.

· NEW! CeraVe® Baby Moisturizing Cream ($5.99) and NEW! CeraVe® Baby Sunscreen Lotion SPF 45 ($16.99) are available at CVS, Walgreens, Duane Reed, Walmart, Meijer, Babies “R” Us, Buy Buy Baby and Amazon

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) IMG_7461 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 small

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!

The Lip Gloss is so shiny and moist it really takes my lips to paradise. I really like both colors and with a couple of swipes across my lips and the color/shine ratio is just right on my lips.

Top 5 Rules to Wearing a Fragrance from Carlos Huber

unnamed-2

According to Carlos Huber, fragrance developer and creator of Arquiste, you may possibly be wearing your fragrance wrong. Depending on your mood or the occasion, whether it’s a special event or just a normal day, you must choose the right fragrance for you. Carlos has 5 helpful rules to wearing a fragrance.

Top 5 Rules of Wearing a Fragrance

1. Don’t rub your wrists together. Rubbing your wrists together may bruise the scent molecules, smashing them all down instead of letting them lift off your skin naturally.

2. Splurge on scents that you can wear daily– and on the ones that are special occasions. Quality is quality always!

3. Less is more…and more is more. Depending on what you prefer! There are no written rules.

4. Throw out fragrances when they are more than 3 years old, as their scent can turn and change. Normally a scent kept in stable temperatures and away from light will keep nicely between 2 -3 years.

5. Wear what defines YOU! Don’t let the occasion be the only thing dictating what you may or may not wear.

Carlos likes to wear his new Nanban Fragrance on a day-to-day basis as it makes him feel confident and remembered. Containing ingredients such as black pepper, Persian Saffron, coffee absolute, and Spanish leather, Nanban makes you stand out in a very unique way.

You will find this fabulous fragrance at arquiste.com

See the step-by-step hair “how to”  below:

  1. Prep hair with Smooth ‘N Shine Argan Power 10 Treatment Oil ($4.36; Wal-Mart) for thermal protection and sheen and then blow dry until hair is smoothed out.
  2. Apply Smooth ‘N Shine Olive & Tea Tree RevivOil Edge Smoothing Pomade ($2.59; Target) throughout the hairline and crown of the head to define edges, smooth down flyways and create a sleek look.
  3. Gather all hair at the nape of the neck using a paddle brush and create a tight, low ponytail and lock in place with a hook elastic.
  4. Then, wrap 26-inch long human hair extensions across the base of the ponytail in a clockwise direction, securing the weft with pins.
  5. Take a small section of the extensions and wrap around the elastic, to hide the elastic. Secure with a pin.
  6. Midway down the back, take another small section of the extensions and wrap it tightly in a downward motion to create a roping effect, stopping about a foot from the end.
  7. Finish the look off with a spritz of Smooth ‘N Shine Instant Repair Spray-On Polisher ($4.36; Wal-Mart) for extra shine and luster.
