Smell great with a simple touch

Its Mother’s Day eve and you need a last minute gift? Don’t worry the perfect gift is right at your local supermarket or drugstore. Caress’ new Fine Fragrance body wash will give mom a beautiful 12 hour fragrance every time she touches her skin. Yes that’s right. Just by touching your skin, Caress will activate the scent.

Caress

Last Monday while waiting to go on Studio 10, I was sitting in the green room and kept wondering where this smell was coming from. Forgetting I had used it this morning I kept thinking that my perfume was just overly strong. I then realized that it was the Caress. I couldn’t believe it. The more I crossed my arms or legs the stronger it was. Good thing about it was that it wasn’t so over powering that it was bad. It gives off just the right amount and lasts for 12 hours!

Imagine having an “implanted” fragrance in your skin for 12 hours that does not need to be redone. All you have to do is touch your skin and off it goes. The one I tried was the Amore Forever. It is a very light musky scent but has a hint of roses making it all the more pleasing. I know my mom loves it because she tried it and nearly stole it from me lol. I’m no meanie though I let her use it when she wants to.

So don’t sweat a great gift for mom. Caress has you covered. Its a gift that will keep on giving and I’m sure mom will love it. For more info check out www.houseofcaress.com

Hair this & that on Studio 10

Today I share some “Hair This and Hair That” on Studio 10.

Just like our skincare routine our haircare routine should be changed with the upcoming summer months. Here are a few tips to change up your haircare routine for beautiful, soft, healthy hair all through the summer.

Like the oils in your skin, the oils in your scalp can speed up in the summer causing excess buildup and the clogging of the hair follicles. Beautiful hair starts with shampoo and conditioner. Treatment shampoos and conditioners like Pura d’or Organic Shampoos and Conditioners come in a variety of options from hair loss treatments, to scalp dandruff treatments. When the follicles (which are like pores) get clogged it can cause your hair to look dull, and dirty. Be sure to use the right shampoo and conditioning products during the summer months.

Also, just like our skin, our hair needs protection from the harmful UV rays. Especially if your hair is color treated. When going outside to the beach or just to go for a stroll, wrap your hair in a cute scarf or put on a hat. When hair is color treated it can tend to fade a lot faster and can sometimes turn a little brassy. Hats block sun and are also great for protecting our faceas well.

We have heard of swimmer’s ear? But have you ever heard of swimmer’s hair? Thats right. As we know during the summer we swim a lot and when we can tend to get a chlorine buildup on our hair leaving that ugly discoloration of green film. BUT it not only happens to blondes. A quick remedy to take care of that problem is before going in any kind of water (salt, lake, pool etc.) rinse your hair with clean lukewarm tap water. Also, be sure to apply a coat of leave in conditioner to act as a barrier.

Summer weather is also notorious for creating frizz! When applying an anti frizz serum make sure you find one that is silicone based. The silicone in today’s products are more advanced giving it more access to the hair. It is also non greasy and micro fine allowing more particles to process into the hair. The more particles the more you can be sure the deposit of the serum is even throughout the whole head. Follow instructions on the bottle of how much you should use (usually a dime size amount).

If you have long hair, the struggle of the heat and perspiration can be a real drag. And when we go out, sometimes we don’t want to have to put our hair up. Baby Powder can act as a barrier as well. Before you put on your clothes or even do your hair apply a thin layer of baby powder to your skin, like the back of your neck, down your back etc. then finish dressing. You may notice that throughout the day just how much more comfortable you will feel. Also, the baby powder leaves a cooling sensation on your skin.

Fierce & daring with one spray

Intoxicating, sexy and daring! Lady Gaga’s newest fragrance, Eau De Gaga, will leave you feeling that and more in one use. Eau De Gaga is the future scent that will “appeal to both men and women where nothing is off limits”. (from HausLaboratories.com)

Eau De Gaga

Eau De Gaga

Eau De Gaga is unlike any fragrance I have ever smelled before. I usually don’t go for the “sexy” smelling fragrances but one whiff of this and I am hooked. With notes of White Violet, Sparkling Lime and Instinct Leather, the aroma of Eau De Gaga carries with you all day long. The White Violet is the opening note that intrigues the senses of both men and women while the lime exudes vibrancy and leather adds primal quality.

Also, having trouble finding the perfect gift for mom? Well, what woman doesn’t want to feel sexy? Especially mom! Surprise mom this Mother’s Day with Eau De Gaga. Its a gift that will keep on giving all day long.

I find it a little difficult to write about a fragrance, especially one that when its first sprayed gives off an incredible smell. The more I wore it throughout the day the better it smelled. Experience this amazing fragrance from Lady Gaga by visiting www.hauslaboratories.com or one of your local department stores and experience the fierceness for yourself!

Anna Chlumsky

1) Start by creating a clean center part. Smooth all the hair from the roots to the ends with the SARAHPOTEMPA Ceramic Styling Iron.

2) Section out all of the hair from the left and right side and brush back in to a low ponytail, clipping out a circular section from the back of the crown with the SARAHPOTEMPA Darby Clip. Smooth the sides down with Aussie’s Miraculously Smooth Anti-Frizz Cream.

3) Using the SARAHPOTEMPA Wrap Up, pull the ponytail through, pinch it closed, wrap it up and bend it into a perfect bun.

4) Take the remaining section out of the clip and braid down. Secure with an elastic and wrap the braid around the bun and pin in place.

Spray the pain away

Ladies I know you love your heels don’t you? But the pain of the heels throughout the day can cause our love to go to hate real fast. Inserts sometimes don’t seem to work, the balls of our feet are howling, and our arches just seem to feel like they may break in half. Now you can enjoy the sexiness of those heels, with out the pain, with Heel No Pain Foot Spray.

Heel no pain

Heel no pain

Comes in a discreet spray bottle, Heel No Pain goes wherever you go. Simply spray 1-2 squirts on the bottom of your feet before putting on your shoes and let it work its magic. Designed by plastic surgeon Randal D Haworth, MD, FACS Heel No Pain is a non-prescription spray. I can say from experience that this spray does what it says it does. To describe the way it feels I would say, after it dries, it feels like a thin film shielding your foot. Its a lot like those icy hot creams we put on to soothe aching muscles. It does not leave your foot feeling wet or sticky so you don’t have to worry about your shoes sliding off. Sometimes the impact of our insides needs a little help from the outsides. And as an added bonus the Heel No Pain spray as a nice clean scent that will help deodorize as well. Can’t beat a 2 in 1 deal! 🙂

Going to and from many events I tend to wear heels for hours at a time with no relief of being able to sit. two quick sprays before I put my shoes on and two more about 4 1/2 hours later I was able to wear my heels and enjoy the events without being in pain. My hips and thighs did not hurt either nor did my calf muscles. Now I did not spray those areas but taking away the pressure from my feet helped.

So ladies don’t bother carrying another pair of shoes with you when you can carry a spray bottle the size and width of your index finger. Your “dogs” wont be howling anymore!

DIY apple cinnamon lip balm

I loved lip balm when I was younger. I can remember every time my mom and I went to the store I always begged my mom to let me go and look at the lip balm. Although every tube my mom ever got me ended up getting lost or used up very quickly. Now here I am 24 years and still have a love for lip balm but can now do it at home. Below I found this recipe (courtesy of DIY Lip Balms) for an at home DIY Apple Cinnamon Lip Balm. All I can say is yummy!

Apples and cinnamon

Apples and cinnamon

Things you will need: 1 tablespoon beeswax, grated or pellets 2 tablespoons jojoba oil ½ tablespoon aloe vera oil 4 drops pure cinnamon essential oil 4 drops of apple essential oil 2 drops of vanilla essential oil

Clean it up with CeraVe

For the past couple of weeks I have been horrible when it comes to my skincare routine. Being that I work from home I felt that it was not a big deal to worry to much about washing my face or doing moisturizer etc. Boy was I WRONG! My skin felt so rugged, looked very dull and acne was coming out of nowhere. At times I noticed that the less I did to my face the better it was but you can only do that for so long. One week ago I tried a product that transformed my skin and now I can’t get enough….CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser.

CeraVe

CeraVe

The Renewing SA Cleanser is new product that helps to eliminate acne, dissolve dirt and oil leaving your skin feeling soft. Not only that but it will give off a nice, youthful glow. At night when it is time to take off your makeup, if your anything like me, you dread doing it. Many cleansers I have tried do not dig down deep and get all the layers off. The foaming effect really helps to exfoliate and get every last morsel of makeup off. I recommend this product for all skin types and even if it is sensitive.

The hydrating cleanser bar, just like the cleanser for the face, helps your skin all over. If you want to now more about CeraVe and all the products check out www.cerave.com
