Your Hair Will Love The “VERB”

Your hair is your crowning glory and the more you take care of it the better it looks. Is it dry? Or does the color tend to fade too quickly? The answer to your problems is VERB Hair Products.

The number one problem to your hair care problems is improper hair products. When purchasing a product you MUST find a product that is for your hair type. But sometimes that can be hard. VERB products are made for all hair types and will not fade out hair color, It will help to hydrate even the driest hair and will not weigh down fine hair. When you get out of the shower your hair should feel clean and soft, and not greasy. Usually if your hair feels greasy right after you shampoo it then you are not using a product that is made for your hair type.

VERB Hair Products

VERB Hair Products

Unlike products such as Big Sexy Hair and CHI that have competition from retailers such as TJ Maxx and Kohls, you will not find VERB anywhere but in your local salon. VERB products come in an eye catching package that not only shows just what each product is, but will also tell you just what they do. Also, you don’t have to spend time trying to look for a specific shampoo or conditioner for your specific hair type. VERB is just one line and can be used on all type. If you hair is fine, coarse or even curly, VERB will work for you. VERB Product line comes with shampoo, conditioner, leave-in mist, volumnizing spray, sea spray to give off nice beach waves, dry wax, finishing polish, ghost oil serum and dry shampoo.

Each product is specifically designed to help enhance the texture, look and all over health of your hair. They are all gluten and sulfate free and being that they can only be found in your local salon, you know you are getting the utmost treatment for your hair. Like I said you hair is your crowning glory. It is a lot like your skin if you take care of it it will take care of you. For more info on VERB and where you can find them visit www.verbproducts.com

Get Healthy-Lo​oking Hands With Skyy Hadley’s At-Home Remedy

DIY Remedy

DIY Remedy

Just because the warm weather is here, that doesn’t mean our hands are safe from flakiness and dehydration. We have to be extra careful not to let our hands dry up from the high temperatures, low humidity, constant washing of hands, and sun exposure. Below is a quick at-home remedy to combat dry, summer hands from celebrity manicurist and owner of As U Wish Nail Spa, Skyy Hadley! See below for Skyy’s expert tips

DIY Home Remedy

DIY Home Remedy

​.Skyy Hadley’s Luxury Rejuvenating Hot Cream At-Home Hand Treatment 

  • Remove all nail polish with a gentle polish remover
  • Begin by sloughing off dead and dry skin from palms and backs of hands with a homemade sugar scrub (salt scrubs can be drying or irritating):

o   Mix sugar, a few drops of vegetable glycerin and an uplifting essential oil like peppermint or rosemary in a medium-sized bowl.

  • Gently rub hands together to scrub away dullness.  Remove scrub with a warm wet cloth.
  • Do NOT soak fingers in water, as doing so will actually draw the moisture OUT of your skin.
  • Instead, heat up 2 plastic baggies full of a thick, luxurious cream and add a few drops of an invigorating essential oil such as tangerine, ylang ylang, or chamomile.
  • Heat until very warm but not too hot, then place hands in bags for about 2 minutes, allowing moisture to penetrate the skin.
  • Remove hands from bag and massage cream into skin, wiping off any excess.
  • Your hands should instantly feel smooth and look radiant!

Awaken Your Senses With “NINE”, The Newest Fragrance From American Crew

This blog is for all those woman out there who have, at often times, used a man’s cologne over a woman’s perfume. Some people may think it’s crazy but when you really think about it, it’s not all that weird. I can remember in high school girls would rather use a man’s cologne, and even deodorant, over their own. When I asked why many of them said, “I feel like it shield’s the stink better than my own”. As I got older it started making sense. Nowadays I will actually use a man’s cologne over my own fragrance depending on the time of year. Here in Florida you seem to feel like your always sweating because of all this humidity in the air.

American Crew- NINE

American Crew- NINE

When I met American Crew at Premiere Orlando they introduced me to their newest fragrance called “Nine: A Fragrance for Men”. The minute I sprayed it I fell in love with it. Now I will give you a woman’s point of view on the fragrance and why not only would I love to smell it on a man but also would like to wear it from time to time. When I wear NINE I don’t feel like I am wearing a man’s cologne and also people have asked me what I am wearing they can’t believe it’s a men’s fragrance. Of course all fragrance’s smell different on everybody. When I wear NINE it almost smells like the ocean. Very clen, refreshing and even very relaxing. If it relaxes me when I wear it I can’t even imagine how I would feel if a man was wearing it.  NINE’s Top Notes are: Black Pepper, Lavender, Bergamot and Apple, Middle Notes: Jasmine, Cistus Labdanum, Coriander and Clove, Base Notes: Patchouli, Cedar, Sandalwood, Amber and Musk

They do say that scent can attract you to a certain person. Scent is one of our strongest senses and can really trigger a lot of emotions. In fact, American Crew did a survey on NINE and 9 out of 10 women said that they like this fragrance on a man. So men, and women, try out American Crew’s NINE for yourself. Who knows, Mr. Right could be right around the corner. Just trust your nose 🙂

My $1 Body Acne Miracle Product!!

Suffering from body acne my whole life, I can honestly say there is not one beauty treatment on the market I haven’t tried at least once. I tried everything from home remedies, to $50 beauty counter remedies but my skin just decided to be as stubborn as it can be. Now here I am, 23 years old and I finally found an anti-acne product that works!!! And it’s only $1!!!!

Acne Body Wash

Acne Body Wash

I was in my local Dollar tree one day and I saw that they had an entire acne line that was made specifically for your body and is simply called “Acne Body Wash”. Since I had tried everything else I figured, what the heck it’s only a $1 if it doesn’t work at least I didn’t spend an arm and a leg on it. Now I do shower everyday but it has been my experience not to use something like this all the time. I use it 3 times a week and have for 3 weeks now. Now my acne is all over the place, but it is the worst on my back and shoulders.

Acne Body Wash is enriched with Aloe Vera to help calm the redness and inflammation of the skin, and the main ingredient is salicylic acid. I can finally have confidence in a strapless dress or shirt and shorts (yes I also had acne on my legs). On top of this, I also use witch hazel and try to get at 3-4 minutes of sun exposure to help dry out my skin.

Now if you are allergic to either one of these products I ask you to steer clear of this product. Also, another little reminder is just because it works for me does not mean it will work for everyone. If you have something that works for you stick with that, but if you want to try this remedy I say give it a shot.

Altchek MD Skincare At ULTA

Altchek MD Doctor's Remedy

Altchek MD Doctor’s Remedy

Dr Altcheck’s philosophy on creating a great skin care line is both simple and profound. As stated by Altcheck, “ Skin care products have to be both preventive and corrective. In essence, it is ineffective to create a corrective product unless you are also creating a preventive product!”

Dr. Altchek developed his formulas for women and men after he realized that many other brands focused only on correcting the signs of aging or preventing environmental damage through anti-oxidant activity. His unique approach combines the best of both worlds with the goal of making healthy skin easy to achieve with just a few simple products. His collection is designed to help protect the skin from daily stressors that contribute to premature aging and correct existing damage.

Dr Altchek’s greatest desire has been to create non-invasive products that really work. The collection offers anti-aging treatments that are easy to use and work rapidly together to seriously improve skin’s radiance, remove impurities, as well as correct fine lines and wrinkles while protecting against future damage. Dr. Altchek uses alpha hydroxy acids, resveratrol, Vitamin C and formulas rich in anti-oxidants to address the visible signs of aging and provide healthy and more youthful looking skin.

Each product from the Altcheck skincare line is designed to work synergistically with one another. It is for this reason Dr Altcheck has been mindful to create a great, effective skincare range at affordable prices.
The Altcheck MD collection includes:

Daily Exfoliating Cleanser works to reveal clean, smooth skin that is ready for the next steps in the Doctor’s skincare regimen.
