Treat your eyes like “Gold”faden

The eyes are the windows to the soul. But when eyes are tired it can get a little “foggy”. In a world where technology is the center of our lives and business even looking at screens can cause it too. With Goldfaden MD Bright Eyes you can clear your windows in as little as 1-2 weeks. It could not have come a t a better time in my life.

Goldfaden MD bright eyes formula will help to decrease the appearance of fine line, dark circles and will reduce puffiness. I know from working on a computer for 8-9 hours a day by the end I’d be surprised if they weren’t puffy lol. Also, being deprived of sleep does not help either. It seems that no matter how much water I drink they just don’t seem to go away. Goldfaden is helpful with all skin types even sensitive skin. All products are gluten, paraben, Petrochemical, alcohol and silicone free. I swear I would not know what I would do without it. ( a video on the product will be filmed and airing soon)

Goldfaden was created by Dr. Gary Goldfaden, M.D., a practicing dermatologist. He has been practicing in South Florida for over 40 years with one sole purpose “My ultimate goal is to let people have a relatively simple skincare regimen that is both preventative and restorative.” He has many more products to choose from.

The brides’ secret is out

European Wax Center Is A Brides Beauty Secret To Looking Great On the Big Day

Get Your Glow On At EWC

NEW YORK (March 25, 2015) – With all eyes on the bride, revealing beautiful skin on your wedding day is almost as important as the dress you choose. European Wax Center (EWC) has compiled a list of waxing do’s and dont’s for brides seeking picture perfect skin for their big day. Now, beauty obsessed brides can save the stress for the seating plan and leave the smooth glowing skin to EWC.

Below is EWC’s “Waxing for Wedding” countdown all brides can put in their planners:

Areas for Consideration:
◦ An eyebrow shaping will accentuate your eyes and frame your face. Under a veil or not, eyes will reflect your every emotion so it’s important to define the perfect shape for your face.
◦ Your underarms, especially if you are wearing a strapless or sleeveless gown. (This is why brides often wax their arms too.)
◦ For gorgeous wedding gams, consider the full or half leg wax. (Pay attention to those toes if you’re wearing open toe shoes.)
◦ A classic bikini wax or a Brazilian wax will leave you feeling your sexiest on your big day (and night).
◦ And don’t forget that the removal of any dreaded facial hair is a must! Keep the focus on your smile in those inevitable close-up photos you’re paying a pretty penny for.

3 Months Prior:

· Schedule an appointment with your EWC Wax Specialist to discuss the right plan for achieving your most beautiful skin for your wedding. Your Wax Specialist will then get you on a schedule to ensure a smooth glowing appearance. In most cases, your Wax Specialist will advise scheduling an appointment every three weeks for the three months leading up to your big day.

2 Months Prior:

· Eyebrows are like a picture frame; the right brow will accentuate your face, enhance your eyes and show your true expression. Meet with your EWC Wax Specialist (and bring along your veil) so you can determine the most appropriate shape for your face.

1 Week Prior:

· Now’s the time to get your arms and legs waxed. Don’t forget a bikini/Brazilian wax for smooth skin throughout your honeymoon.

· Get one final facial wax so everyone can see the blushing bride.

· Lastly, give your eyebrows one final shaping and sculpting session.

Here are a few additional tips:

· Keep track of how long it takes for irritation to subside after waxing. Keep in mind, hair grows back thinner and finer with each wax, so irritation will lessen with each appointment.

· For brides looking to be bronze on their big day, EWC Wax Specialists recommend you get your spray tan/apply self-tanner the day after your waxing appointment or if you experience irritation, wait until irritation subsides. Freshly waxed areas absorb pigment better so your skin will look smoother and color will last longer.

· It is essential that you follow post-wax directions from your Wax Specialist. And don’t forget to exfoliate and moisturize between appointments in order to keep skin looking healthy and smooth.

· Finally, don’t cave and shave! Perfectly smooth skin takes time and it’s worth it!

European Wax Center prides itself on revealing beautiful skin at accessible rates ranging from $10 to $68 per service. The brand’s continual success can be attributed to exceptional customer care, premium quality services and products, and a belief that luxurious waxing can be attainable to anyone seeking beautiful skin.

Meet the Marendo Group

Many companies within the fashion industry, whether new or existing, find their brand going on a downward spiral in various ways. They often outsource for help to revive themselves and get on the right track. Meet the fashion industry’s best-kept secret doing just that – The Marendo Group

Vintage spring cleaning on Studio 10

With springtime right around the corner its time to start tackling those pesky household chores. Today I shared some tips on how to make those household chores quick, safe and can also help save money. So let’s get our “June Cleaver” on and start cleaning!

Studio 10

Studio 10

Watch the segment here: http://www.wtsp.com/videos/entertainment/2015/03/23/70328616/

First off you want to protect your hands from any loss of hydration with a skin shielding product like Gloves in a Bottle. One quick spray will help lock in moisture and take the place of Grandma’s Old Yellow gloves. Believe it or not the overuse of water can take away moisture in the hands.

Start your cleaning off with baking soda. Baking soda is a very versatile product that can be used indoors and out. Use it in your pool to help maintain the pH balance. For example: if your pH balance is 7.2 add 2-3 lbs of baking per 10,000 gallons of water. Not only can you use it for the pool but use it to clean your pots, pans your bathroom and so much more. It’s a safe and effective way to clean and will not harm your pets or your children.

Vinegar water is one of my favorite ways to clean my toilet bowl and the mirrors in my bathroom. Take vinegar of your choice Add 1/2 vinegar to 1/2 water and mix together. This will help clean mirrors in your bathroom without leaving streaks. For the toilet bowl, add some vinegar to your toilet bowl and let it set overnight. In the morning you will have streak free bowls. Also, vinegar can be used to help clean your shower head.

After cleaning your mirrors you can help eliminate steam buildup which will cause more dirt to your mirrors by using shaving cream. Take your shaving cream and shake it up. Apply a thin layer to your mirror and allow it to stay. While you are waiting for it to for it to do its job, try it out with a hot shower or allow steam into the room. This will help the shaving cream absorb unto the mirror for future use.

Now that we have cleaned let’s get organized. Take an extra jewelry organizer and instead of storing jewelry use it to organize all those cords we have from laptop, kindles, iPads, cell phones etc. Use a label maker to label which cord is which. Then also use the other side for little knick knacks such as pens, notepads, post its etc. This is also great in the kids room for Barbie’s shoes, accessories, and little parts to any toy boys or girls.

Last but not least organize your closet with a shoe organizer. Get a shoe organizer that hangs from the rod and use this to store notebooks, cards, remotes, you can also use it to store some of your hair tools, products etc. It’s another great small toy organizer and also can be used for those foam sandals we all seem to have so much of here in Florida but never quite know where to put them. The sections are big enough to store more than one thing but be sure not to exceed the weight limit of the rod in your closet.

I am Loving my Glo Minerals

Unknown-2

I love Glo-Minerals makeup and have recently used two different products that I’ve never used before. They were Glo-Minerals eye shadow and their Precise Micro Eyeliner. First of all, the eye shadow is amazing. I got a really subtle color by the name of “Sand Pebble” and it goes on super smoothly with amazing color. It looks great, but it also works with any eye color and brings more attention to your eyes by making them appear brighter. Plu,s since it’s a very subtle color, it’s perfect for people that are more into natural looking makeup rather then darker colors like black.

yhst-136819546654763_2268_837092906

As for Precise Micro Eyeliner in the color “Charcoal”, I love this eye liner a lot. First of all, the eyeliner itself is very thin which allows you to create perfect, intricate, lines that are usually very hard to achieve with normal eyeliner. And the color is a very nice subtle gray which is very nice if you want to wear eyeliner, but do not want to have the really heavy, overwhelming look that black eyeliner can create. Plus this eyeliner has great pigmentation and stays on for a long time without smudging. Personally, I wore this eyeliner all day and it looked nearly the same as when I put it on. So if you’re looking to achieve natural looking makeup with long lasting color, give Glo-Minerals makeup a try.  http://www.glo-minerals.com/
