Acne Natural Remedy: Dries Out Pimples Overnight!

Having suffered with ugly dark spots from acne for much of my life, I have been searching for an acne natural remedy for quite some time. Yes, there are nice products on the market to treat job about any skin condition you can imagine. My concern is those times in which those miracle products are not accessible…. What do you do if you notice a pimple rearing its ugly little head the night before a huge event? Sephora, Ulta and shopping malls all have hours of operation. What do you do when you need to get rid of a pimple WITHOUT your fancy creams or products?

My acne natural remedy discovery:

I couple of months ago I experienced a huge breakout. I was pretty embarrassed because I had two large pimples on the right side of my face. My husband inquired quite a few times as to what was going on with my skin. Well, that second. That moment. The search began. I discovered a group of ladies that swore by hydrogen peroxide, a warm towel and ice. I was a bit lazy to try all of that; instead, I opted for hydrogen peroxide followed by a warm (almost hot) towel. Amazingly, it worked! I soaked a cotton pad in peroxide and held it to my face for several minutes. Afterwards, I held a warm towel to the same spot. The next morning, one of the pimples had completely dried up and was nowhere in sight. The larger pimple shrank considerably. I repeated the process that evening and within the next 24 hours the second pimple disappeared.
It’s awesome to have a million effective products. However, it is also good to have “an ace in your back pocket”. Natural remedies for acne should be stored in your beauty cabinet. One of the major aspects of beauty and fashion is being prepared for the unexpected…like a pimple!

How to Build a Wardrobe|Part One: Cardigan Sweaters

As I tell my clients, the key to knowing how to build a wardrobe for less is buying items piece by piece. If you purchase several wardrobe essentials at once, the tab will be very high. Personally, I select one essential and focus on gathering an adequate collection of those pieces.

4 Secret Tips for Glowing Skin

In an effort to prepare for the Holidays, let’s review tips for glowing skin. One of the noticed is skin. Nothing is sexier than healthy, smooth, glowing skin. There are several hundred skincare products on the market to help ladies achieve healthy, glowing skin. Ironically, some of the best skincare products are free. Wait; do not get too excited, we said SOME.
1. Drink more water.
One common factor in skincare tips for a number of skin issues is water. Drinking the right amount of water will really show in the skin! If water is not your beverage of choice, break up some of those servings with fruit that contains a lot of water. Some examples of fruit that contain a lot of water are kiwi and watermelon.
2. Watch what does in your mouth.
As with dieting for weight loss, the diet is also important when establishing a skincare regimen. There are some foods that can cause break outs or even result in dull skin. In addition to the obvious, like sugar, also limit processed foods. Some of these foods contain chemicals that are harmful to the skin.
3. Nourish your skin.
Borghese Fango Mud Mask
Visiting a spa for a professional mask or creating a mask at home, treating your skin to a little TLC is definitely a good thing. Facial skin is much different than the skin on other parts of the body. This is why at times; the face requires extra steps to achieve the desired results.
4. Exfoliate
Exfoliation encourages the removal of dead skin cells. This is extremely important if there are blemishes or marks on the skin. Exfoliate weekly and overtime the results will be amazing.
If you do not have tons of money to try different beauty products you can still have beautiful skin. While it may require work, it is possible to create a skincare regimen to improve the look of your skin. With the help of a few skincare products and the tips for glowing skin we have shared, beautiful skin is just a “scrub” away.

Brazilian Bikini Wax: 3 Reasons Every Woman Should Get One!

 

What is a Brazilian Bikini Wax?

A Brazilian bikini wax treatment removes all pubic hair from the entire “southern” region. Some women opt to leave a small patch just “over the top”. It is thought to be very good for feminine hygiene and oral intimacy.

What is the big deal about the treatment?

If you mention Brazilian bikini waxing in a room of men and women, most men will smile really big and women will cringe. Most men find it very appealing and it also makes certain acts of intimacy “better” from a man’s perspective. However, as with any waxing treatment, a Brazilian bikini wax is very painful. This is because a large area is being waxed at once. In addition, the skin in this area is much thinner than skin in other places.

Why should I get a Brazilian bikini wax?

While there are many cons to getting this type of treatment, there are definitely advantages. Three reasons every woman should experience this are:

-Longer Lasting Results
-No Razor Bumps
-The AMAZING feeling after

While we can all agree that it would be awesome to not have to touch up that area as much or even not have to deal with razor bumps, the last reason outweighs them all. After the treatment, women feel an incredible sense of liberation and SEXINESS!

What about you? Have you experienced a Brazilian bikini wax? Please share your experience!

Dressing for a Cocktail Party| Don’t Procrastinate

While reading a fashion magazine a couple of months ago, I ran across a very true statement. We often find the best dresses for parties when we are not shopping for them. Do not wait until it’s time to party to shop for the perfect party attire. Keep your eyes open for inspiration and deals year round. This means when party time arrives, it’s no pressure to get out there and shop for the perfect look. It also means you are less likely to bump into someone at the party in the same outfit.

Hopefully these three tips can help you prepare for the upcoming holiday parties. Deciding what to wear to a cocktail party is not a challenging task at all…if you are prepared! Now come on, let’s party!

An animal print cardigan instantly adds style to any set. Here, we paired the cardigan with jeans and a white tshirt first. Adding simply orange flats gave the outfit just the right amount of flair. If you desire a dressier look, pair the cardigan with a classic black dress and attention grabbing pumps.
The animal print blouse can be paired with jeans or a skirt. With this pattern, it does not take a lot to get that jazzy look. Add bright shoes or even a classic black bootie or pump and you are in business!

2. Bright Colors
A pair of bright colored pumps or sweater. Adding a splash a color or color blocking creates a very chic look! Some of the cutest shoes this season are available in vibrant hues.
Here, we paired a navy blue dress with gray pumps and a hot pink caplet.  Although none of the colors are in the same family, they create a nice chic look. 

For a more casual look but polished look, we paired jeans and a boat neck tee with cobalt blue pumps and a yellow blazer.  Eye catching and sophisticated, the perfect look for dinner with the girls or a movie date with your sweetie.

Another way to add style to you outfit is by using accessories.  Scarves, bracelets, necklaces , brooches and handbags are just a few accessories that instantly add style to an outfit.
