Divulge your senses in the Donna Karen Woman Fragrance

Yesterday evening I was studying when I heard a package being dropped at my doorstep and behold, it was a package from Vogue Insiders who had gifted me with not one, not two but THREE deluxe mini Eau de Parfum samples of Donna Karen Woman Fragrance! Can you imagine my excitement after a long day at the office? Well, I was smiling from ear to ear.

I opened the package and there was a mini box with a sleek transparent onyx colored Eau de Parfum bottle enclosed. I tried the scent and it smelled like a  warm citrus-like wooden fragrance. It’s magnificent! I can think of a few people who would love this scent for X-mas and I’m sure you can too. And, I will definitely be sharing these with my friends here in LA. I think I’ll gift my extra two to my gal pals I see first!

“Discover the new fragrance inspired by all that a woman is.  A fragrance created for woman. By women.  Feminine and sensual.  The strength and softness of woman is expressed through creamy notes of Orange Flower that delicately wrap the confident signature of Haitian Vetiver and Sandalwood.”

2012 Winning Hairstyle: Day Tresvant’s Stylish Bouffant Channels Jackie O

 

Art comes in many forms: fashion, paintings, drawings, nature, and hair styles. However, we often overlook the talent behind the most artistic and fashionable hairdos, but not today.

Joan Crawford was once quoted saying, “I think that the most important thing a woman can have – next to talent, of course – is her hairdresser.”

Day Tresvant’s creative talents granted her first place in a hair styling competition involving 30 contestants who took their looks to the runway where they were judged, critiqued and scored accordingly. The students were given ten days to put together an entire vision and look to showcase for the judges, staff as well as other participants. The most compelling and appealing hair design was granted first place.

Day’s winning hair expression stole the show with its Jackie Kennedy Onassis embodiment. It balanced a modern bouffant with added flair. Day describes it as, “a bouffant but more like 1960′s meets 2012 updated version.” The models’ entire aura screamed timelessness and classy-chic. Clearly, the judges were equally drawn to her complete creative direction from the hair design to the fashion itself.

Day is a part of the future of hair styling and artistic fusion. However, her main passion is the world of hair dressing. While Day is still studying, you can take advantage of her skills by calling into her college, Beau Monde - College for Hair and Design, to set up an appointment with her for yourself (Portland, Oregon).

Reviewed and Recommended: Dr. Wilbur’s Surf Deodorant| Examiner.com

Less than two weeks ago I was relishing the weekend sun with a good friend. We caught up on one another’s lives as we strolled through LA. I enthusiastically suggested we drop by a favorite shop mine, Co-op 28 Handmade & Indie Designs. Seemingly, I’m fond of not only the shop but its magnificent art pieces, jewelry, home decor items and other handmade goods and have yet to visit without a purchase.

Fast forward…having used traditional antiperspirants/deodorants in our past we comfortably agreed we were no longer interested in them. Given our similar mindset on the subject we opted to try Dr. Wilbur’s Surf Deodorant. Highly recommended by one of the shop’s owners, we purchased a bottle each ($10.95).

About a week and a half later, my good friend gives me a ring to rave about the deodorant. She couldn’t profess enough how happy she was with the results and how she genuinely loved it. Yes, I shared the same results.

Dr. Wilbur’s Deodorant was exactly what I had in mind. It has a spray application, the odor is reminiscent of coconuts meets an island breeze, not to mention it’s refreshing and doesn’t leave that icky, starchy residue that other deodorants have done in the past.

Natural and organic ingredients:

• Natural Sea Salts
• Alcohol
• Natural Vinegar
• Coconut Glycerin
• Aloe
• Vitamin E
• Chamomile and Organic Fragrance

I reapply during the work day but that’s merely a guilty habit of refreshing ½ way through the day. Depending on your sweat glands you may need to only apply once. Either way, I promised my friend I would share our mini prized possession with you. Hopefully, you’ll stop by Co-op 28and pick up a bottle of Dr. Wilbur’s Surf Deodorant to try for yourself.

The Clarisonic Challenge: Plus Sonic Skin Cleansing for Face & Body | Examiner.com

I just received my very own Clarisonic PLUS Skin Cleansing System in the mail today, courtesy of Vogue InfluencersNetwork.

Let me elaborate on my excitement! I’ve heard of nothing but remarkable results with The Clarisonic PLUS Skin Cleaning System from friends so now it’s my turn.

Skin is our largest organ—adults carry some 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms) and 22 square feet (2 square meters) of it. This fleshy covering does a lot more than make us look presentable. In fact, without it, we’d literally evaporate (National Geographic). It goes without saying it’s one of the most significant external organs on our body. Our skin, and pores reveal our age, and the damage we have down to it. Especially, those of us residing near the beach in Los Angeles, probably spend on average 40 hours in the sun per week.

Since, escaping the sun in Los Angeles is unavoidable we have to take additional precautions to safeguard our skin. Sunblock, hats, sunglasses and umbrellas are all methods to protect our skin more specifically our face.

At the same time, we apply a variety of products on our face and body, make-up, lotions, soap, mask, serums, and toners why not have a tool that cleanses the skin more effectively? Why not have a instrument that cleanses the skin and prepares it to absorb skin care products while creating the perfect canvas for makeup?

I’ve been told this is what the Clarisonic PLUS Skin Cleansing System can do.  The Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System uses sonic technology to gently, yet thoroughly, cleanse 6X better than using your hands alone. By removing more dirt, oil and makeup, creams and serums are able to work more successfully.I have dry skin with an oily T-zone area so I’m anxious to explore the results it can have on my skin. Now you see why I’m ready to take The Clarisonic Challenge but here are more reasons/benefits including:

·Clears pores and reduces the appearance of pore size

·Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

·Helps reduce the oily area, dry patches and blemishes

·Gently cleanses all skin types (even with rosacea and acne)

Right now Clarisonic is offering Vogue Influencers and their friends 20%off Clarisonic products on purchases of $149 or more at Clarisonic.com through Sunday, July 24th. Don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity! You can take the challenge too!
