Ok ladies it’s time to throw out all your flip flops as well as your gym membership. I just got in London’s new rage the Fitflop. Fitflops are flip flops that actually work out your legs while you walk. Developed by expert biomechanists at the Centre for Human Performance at South Bank University in London the Fitflop is a hybrid shoe that allows for more natural walking movements and increase in muscle performance. Not only does it work out your legs giving you perfectly toned calf muscles but it also improves your balance, posture and burns calories. But be careful, wearing for extended periods can make your legs sore! Available in red, black and blue… oh an watch the video below..
With the holidays here it’s hard not too over indulge in yummy desserts and greasy foods. Definitely not the best feeling afterwards but there is a way to justify it all by using the Hollywood Detox Body Wrap. The celebrities have been detoxing their bodies and benefiting from the results and at one time the Detox Body Wrap was only available in select spas but now you don’t have to leave your house to have one done. Not only will the detox body wrap draw out toxins from your body but imagine also losing up to 6 inches! The great thing about this body wrap is that it produces immediate longterm results. Just think being able to eat what you want without gaining an inch! Works on our most common target areas - the butt, thighs, chest and arms. It also tones and tightens. There are so many wonderful benefits to this detox wrap and a must especially if you want to fit into that little black dress:)

There’s some news that just came out today from Fox News on the old Age Intervention Eyelash by Jan Marini that the FDA has seized more than 12,000 tubes of the discontinued product worth about 2 million dollars. Jan Marini had taken this product off the market last year, reformulated it and put it back on the market as the New Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner. The FDA is stating that the old product which the company has not sold since September of last year contained a harmful unapproved drug that could cause swelling/inflammation of the eye or optic nerve damage. Jan Marini has posted a notice on their website regarding this for anyone who is using or considering using their New Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner which is safe to use.

Bushy, beautiful brows… we all want them but some, including myself were not lucky enough to be born with them. That’s ok, we have the Talika Eyebrow Extender. Not just an ordinary eyebrow pencil this unique gel product has fibers that actually bond to your natural brows making them appear darker, thicker and fuller. Once applied the gel sets in about 4-5 minutes and lasts all day long. Washes off easily with makeup remover.
I’ve mentioned Detox Foot Pads in the past and of course, since I’m using them again I wanted to mention how amazing they are. It’s something we should all use to detoxify and cleanse our body of toxins. They are so easy to use and you feel such a difference in your body especially if you suffer from fatigue, circulatory problems, abdominal issues, pretty much any issue. The patch can also help rejuvenate collagen fibers and slow the aging process.
When I use the detox foot pads I notice a huge difference in how my body feels the very next day. I’ve had stomach problems since I can remember from eating foods I shouldn’t and maybe even after a few too many glasses of red wine. I have to say that these are a perfect liver detox. My stomach actually feels lighter and I don’t have to worry about eating certain foods when i use the detox foot pads… it’s kinda nice.
The detox pads are quite popular in Japan and China and are catching on in the US. They improve the body’s immune system and help with circulation and other issues by drawing out impurities through the reflexology points on our feet which are reflective of our internal organs.
The patches consist of tourmaline which is able to emit far infrared rays which allow for a therapeutic, relaxing feeling and distilled bamboo vinegar which aides in drawing out the toxins. Attach to the bottom of one or both feet at night and in the morning remove and what you see will probably disgust you but just think of how good you will feel. Initially use if for 14-30 days straight or more and then a patch here and there when you need it!
Anyone who has eyelash extensions and is looking for a great water based mascara - try the Suncoat Natural Mascara. I carry a few different brands in my studio but found this one has worked the best with my eyelash extensions. Glides on easily with no clumping, or smudging. The suncoat natural mascara separates the extensions perfectly adding even more volume and intensity then already acheived with the extensions. I’ve used it on several occassions and it wears very well, washes off quickly and easily and with just water while keeping my extensions intact.
Suncoat mascara uses a sugar-based biopolymer which is non-irritating therefore great for sensitive eyes. This natural mascara is colored with mineral colorants and not FD&C dyes like regular mascaras. No fragrances and best of all paraben-free!
