Anti-Aging tip
With the New Year comes new resolutions and changes. Here is a quick, easy, & cheap Anti-Aging tip...

EXFOLIATION... It will brighten a complexion, take all the muck off, clean pores, and minimize fine lines.

*Not any cheap exfoliator will do; a good one is either chemically based or enzymatic. You can message me for suggestions. Or come see me for a peel, thats the BEST!

Thoughts on massages
Written by Ebony Rankin, a fourth-grade student

Unlike tying a rubber band around your head, a massage can make you feel better and won't have you wondering, "Why do I have a rubber band around my head? Am I crazy or something?!" Feel better, not worse.

Adding VAVOOM to your feather extensions
Executive editor Alison Shipley discovered she could backcomb the feathers with her fingers to make them fluffier! Whether they are real or synthetic, spritz your fingers with hairspray then move the feathers in the opposite direction and Vavoom you have fluffier feathers!

Dark Eye Circles

Got dark circles...store your eye cream in the fridge and the cool temperature of the cream will reduce swelling quickly.

Home Made Body Scrub
Get your whole body glowing this summer with this easy home made recipe. It is a Pina Colada for your body. Enjoy!

  • 2 cups of Turbinado sugar (brown pure cane)
  • 1 Tbs Pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

Mix all ingredients together and place in a reclosable jar. Massage a scoop of the scrub all over damp skin while showering. Rinse off, pat dry. Use within 2 weeks and store in a cool, dry place.

"Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain which naturally removes rough, dead skin and leaves your body feeling super-smooth and soft!" says Janice Cox, author of EcoBeauty

Hair Color Extender
Just got this awesome tip from my favorite magazine, Modern Salon. In order to extend the life of a hair color treatment, and to increase hydration, one should apply a coat of conditioner BEFORE shampooing..."Your hair sucks in the moisture by starting with a layer of conditioner," "It seals the cuticle."

Silk n' Go Product Launch Party
     As a licensed Esthetician, I am always hearing about the newest product or the next generation of technology.  Most of the claims are not always true.  The newest beauty fad usually leaves the customer feeling ripped off.  They end up throwing the faulty product or tool in the garbage to move onto the next "must have" beauty product. 

     So when Pretty City invited me to a skin care product launch, I was, lets just say...Curious.  Now for the record, Pretty City knows how to throw a FAB spa party!  I was looking forward to experiencing all they had to offer for this event.  Just take a look at that snack table!  The appetizers were delicious, the set up was worthy of Pretty City's name, and the goody bags were filled to the brim! I did not, however, think anything good would come out of the product they were helping to promote. 

     BOY....Was I wrong!

     I am proud to announce that Silk n' Go has developed the newest in permanent hair removal technology.  The FDA has approved this at home laser hair removal device.  As a disclaimer, I must admit, I have not tried the new Silk n' Go - Flash n' Go.  Pretty City was gracious enough to send me home with a Flash n' Go laser to try myself.  I will be sure to keep you posted as soon as I start using it.

     What impressed me the most was speaking with Yang Phan, the Marketing Manager along with the Vice President of the Company, Scott Lyon.  I was pleasantly surprised with their in depth knowledge of the process of hair growth and their passion to transform the latest laser technology into an at home useable piece of equipment.
