Weekly Make-up Tips

How do you clean make up tools
It is extremely important that you wash your gear, so you do not accumulate bacteria.
You better clean your brushes with regular hand soap or shampoo and maybe a little conditioner afterwards. Massage the shampoo and rinse  thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Wipe off the stems and Let it dry overnight,
This should be done twice a month if you use the tools every day.

Inflated and Unstretched

Phew!
Back from the gym after a pretty pass.
Only half an hour of pedaling machine
then some upper body training, completed with
a moment of great stretching.
So now I feel like a (nearly) new human.
 I do not know if the new is better
than the old one but one can always hope ...

The Bottom Lash Mascara!!

I had very high expectations for Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara, maybe a little too high, I realized in retrospect. It was not as i expected.

The Bottom Lash is it really easier to reach those little lashes that can not always be accessed otherwise but I still get the same amount of mess that needs to be removed afterwards, something I hoped to avoid with this mini brush. It is not a bad thing with mascara, but simply my lashes that I have to realize is complicated to apply to. It helps of course to wipe the brush before use.

The best Bottom Lash is probably still the mascara as it is much better than most non-waterproof, despite my sometimes very runny eyes, The bottom Lash has not scribbled off during the day . And yet it is not very difficult to wash off.

It is smart and pleasant to work with and here it is just a matter of need, you need a separate mascara . I can heartily recommend Bottom Lash. Since it has still not really helped with the problem I have with other maskar or I will probably not buy a new one but still sees the advantages and especially the water-resistant properties.

Winter Shoes!!

Now I have cleaned my shoes, Summer shoes are out and in with winter shoes.
Now I have put all my summer shoes in the closet and

Some of the shoes I have never used but they are so
fine to look at and admire. Cant blame me I love shoes!!.

Decleor: Radiance Mask

I know that one of the most desirable properties in terms of getting smoth skin is BRILLIANCE! Personally, I always read a lot of extra luster products ...It can be sooo awesome when you get a fine luster to the skin ... that you just want to ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa ...

Now that I am still making a little face can I take this opportunity to tell all of you of two new products from Decléor giving just magical glow to the skin.

Flash Radiance Mask is a wonderful express mask that awakens the skin and gives it new energy after only 3 minutes. Ideal for those who want instant luster. The solution for late nights, poor sleep and jet lag. For extra cooling effect, the mask can be stored in the refrigerator. A cold shower can bring the body and Flash Radiance Mask awakens your face. You become so fiint rosy and energized.

This is a "Cinderella Mask" that gives luster and freshness with INSTANT effect! Increases microcirculation in the skin and gives a nice healthy look with a little common glorious appearance. If you feel tired and gray and ... well, kind of lifeless skin, this mask is just what you need!

Anyone can have it, but I recommend it especially to those who want luster, a kick to the skin or before a party just to get that sexy glowing look.

This is also a new product from Decléor. Vitamin C bomb so it is called to do. Vitamin c's luster queen No. 1.

10-day Energising Vitamin Cure is a 10-day intensive course with 100% pure Vitamin C powder that quickly gives skin new luster and energy. Improves skin elasticity. Gives the skin moisture, increases microcirculation, strengthens and protects the skin barrier.

Think of your skin type and what you want for power above all .... anti-aging, luster, moisture, deep cleansing, soothing. It usually result in two different options and it can be good to have two different masks at home for various needs. Eg one part of your skin may need a moisturizing mask + a deep cleansing. Either laps or so but these work with the different masks in different zones of the face.

Clearasil !!!

Now I have been using these two products in about 8 weeks, so now it's time for a little review on my part! Tthe products are:

Clearasil Wash & Mask: Skin care that can be used both as a gentle, cleansing facial wash and a thorough cleansing mask. Contains vitamin E, avocado and pomegranate which protects and moisturizes the skin.

Clearasil Face Scrub: Clearasil Face Scrub removes impurities in a gentle way and adds moisture to the skin. Clearasil Face Scrub is so gentle that you can actually use it every day. It contains vitamin E, avocado and pomegranate ..

My opinion about the products: I really had no expectations of these products to begin with because Clerasil not exactly had a good rating with me but i am glad i tried them because I actually think these two are really good budget products!

Wash & Mask cleans your face of dirt, impurities and makeup better than expected! It dries absolutely not out my complexion, is lasting and very pleasant to use! However, I have only tested it as a facial mask 2-3 times, I'm not as impressed with it as a facial mask, but then I have others that are much better for that purpose!

Face Scrub can be used daily, but I have not done, I've scrubbed face a few times a week and also experience this as very comfortable against the skin and it does not feel like it dries out my skin! The granules in this scrub is not very many and not very sharp either under me,

My skin has not gotten worse in the use of these products, which I actually feared a bit in the beginning because I had some preconceived ideas ;) Without it feels as nice and well maintained as always! :) That's why I think this is quite ok products, but I did not directly see any improvement in my skin but it has clearly been in the same condition as before! And I have absolutely ok skin so for me it's very positive :) the skin not did not feel dehydrated after I cleaned my face, that was what I feared most about these products that they would dehydrate but no. It did not do that to my skin.

I realized that their series does not contain toning and moisturizing products! During these eight weeks, I have skipped the toner and other facial masks but have used Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Oil Capsules from Weleda: To moisturize is after all a very important part of your skin and make your skin feel good, so personally I'd like to have seen Clerasil also have that kind of product in their range!

Rating: Clearly good budget products!

Protective Serum!!

Already in September. Although the weather was not always so autumnal, so it hangs in the air. As well as that we will need an extra sweater or thicker jacket in a few weeks, the skin needs extra protection. The climate becomes drier and moisture in the skin will decrease. Summer cream might work for a few months, but they may need topped with a little extra moisture. Instead, when to replace the cream you like, you can just add a moisturizing serum. Serum is a product that you do during your day or night cream, which can penetrate deeper into the skin and give your skin the moisture it needs, from below. The skin may be the lack of humidity easily become gray and dull. An exfoliating receiving the circulation going and remove the dry flaky surface is a great product to have at home. Putting a face mask once a week is not wrong. With regard to the serum and mask it may well contain antioxidants C and E vitamins and ingredients that triggers hyaluronic acid production.

Here are some tips of my favorites:

The Max Serum by Image Skin Care
This serum is packed with stem cells from apple that has proven to be a very effective antioxidant

Intensive Renewal museum from Snowberry
This product has recently won awards for its unique properties in combating aging.

Bionic Face Serum by NeoStrata
This product contains vitamin E which is a healing and restorative effect on the skin.

Prevent Cellulite

Last Saturday, I had a discussion with my friends about cellulite.
As an esthetician, I have both read and tried various methods
said to counteract cellulite. Here below are some tips that
You can try it yourself, but that it will cost the earth.
Good luck,

Cellulite or orange peel, small groppar on the thighs and buttocks.
what can you do yourself to prevent cellulite?

                                                  In the medical context, Cellulite is one

type of inflammations of fat and connective tissue.
In everyday speech it is called called cellulite that is
small groppar in the thighs and buttocks where fat tissue sunk into pointwise.
More than 80% of all women have cellulite. The causes are unknown
but the risks and problems of increasing are due to lack of exercise, obesity and smoking.

A healthy diet and regular exercise is the first step for combating cellulite. Exercise burns fat and fit
muscle, tightens the tissue and provide firmer skin. Good exercise for cellulite is:

•     Fast walking
•     Cycling.
•     Stair machines.

Practice often and regularly. A well-balanced diet with healthy ingredients are good.
Improved circulation is an effective weapon against cellulite
Poor circulation is thought to be important for cellulite. Various methods to improve circulation is well worth trying:

•     Dry Brushing.
•     Massage.

Dry Brushing the skin
Dry Brushing the skin does boost circulation and tightens the skin.
Some early results give no anti cellulite but when it is done regularly.
Dry brush your skin once a day for five minutes before taking a bath or showers. Use a brush or massage glove and brush with long circular motions that go up. Start with the sole of the foot and work your way up.
 
Massage for better circulation

Massage speeds up circulation. A warming massage oil, for example,  A regular massage oil or a little sunflower oil is also good.

Hot bath and a cold shower
After dry brushing take a hot bath. It stimulates circulation in both blood and lymph. The bath ends with a cold shower. Salt bath is considered particularly beneficial for cellulite.

Dry hands

This morning I went hands on for the first time after the summer. Now I feel that autumn is here to stay. In colder climates i  have dry hands and cuticles. Hand cream is hanging constantly in my bag during the autumn and winter period. I also have one on my desk at work, on the bedside table and in the kitchen. Still feel dry sometimes happens that a never ending story. After trying a number of hand creams, ranging from expensive to less expensive options, the solution is now on the table beside the bed. I have had the cream for a while, but not really given it a fair chance. Now I have been more frequent with the product and the results are fab. I just hope it measures up when the snow falls white across the country.

The product I'm talking about is Day Problems Skin by NeoStrata. , I have written about it before, but when the subject was dry feet. It works thus both on dry hands and feet. To have a cream like that beside the bed makes you remember to lubricate you. You simply can not miss it. The downside of the product is, however, that it does not feel particularly luxurious as it does not smell anything and is a pretty boring packaging. But what does it matter if it produces good results.

Madara Organic Lipgloss

Lip gloss is so wonderfully important and Madara Deco lips sunkissed did not disappoint me! It was creamy and glossy with just that beautiful glow you're after. The color also strengthened tan. The effect was moisturizing and did not leave streaks on my face.

Content is basically a mixture of vegetable oil and rosehip. Packaging: a transparent plastic tube, no more, no less. Fills well its purpose, easy to handle, but hardly exciting to watch :) The scent of berries and fruit are relatively clear, but the "taste" unfortunately quite strange the times i used it i get this pair of molecules on the tongue. Now is the lip gloss is not for eating, but as you probably know, it is impossible to avoid slip occasionally. However, this is a small thing to endure and as a whole I like this lip gloss, currently!

In overall, I am very pleased with my first acquaintance with organic skin care Madara Eco at least, they prove that it is possible to make thoughtful, subtly fragrant natural skin care and organic skin care with that little bit extra.

Music can really create a whole day for me.

I can be in a bad mood and a song can change it. On the contrary, too. I might get confused and unexplained anxiety if I listen to blues music ... or music that recalls the difficult times in my life.

This morning the bus was late and I was tackled by a man, so I dropped both purse with my nice computer and my whole Bible skin cover.

I think it is SUPER IMPORTANT to smile and say hello to the bus driver. No matter how badly he looks. I always make it. And they shine in 95% of cases up and something comes on in their eyes. For the thousands of people drive around this town and the majority do not see them even in the eyes. The only time they get any attention is when something goes wrong. Then they bark out of the ordinary to escape his inner dissatisfaction and frustration.

It's not okay., It is never okay to take things out on strangers.

I do too. Sometimes. When I am sur / tired / frustrated. Then I can not keep it inside, it just wallowing like some sort of bitter cunt in the bottle.

Today was one of those days, it was hysterical lot of people at the bus stop and all crowded to make room on the bus and it was so full that people were not of their stops and panicked and pushed to get out.

It hurt, it was sweaty, it was heavy to carry and hard to stand. And claustrophobic. And the brave bus driver had a turban and shouted in broken.

Just that people see a turban in public transport makes the stress level increased by one thousand percent.

When it lightened and became more air on the bus, a girl came and push past me in the aisle. Just because, there was maybe something in the back seat. I was so fucking pissed.

she was bothering me When it just stopped being so awkward?!

I sighed heavily.

Just then a song was singing in my headphones and suddenly I realized that I was standing with my shoulders tightly cramped up. So I took a breath and let them down.

Thought that "obviously, it is not a problem for me to move a little bit. Course you want to sit, ok! Fine you're welcome."

Long ago when my older friend wanted to sign in on a children's program, I called in and voted him, you had to hear an automated message.

It said, "Thank you for your vote. My motto in life is: You're never bigger than your smallest problem."

That quote has followed me through thick and thin through life actually.

YOU ARE NOT BIGGER THAN YOUR SMALL PROBLEM.

To that I add that it is okay to be small. Tiny sometimes. But one should still remember what you're doing. Making a reality check if disturbed longer thank you hoped.

Yes, but what I really wanted to say with this posts was that you should listen to good music and say hello to the bus driver and the counter at the store.

It means soooo much. Believe me!

MADARA Organic Skincare :Foaming Cleanser

 This is a gentle foam intended for cleaning makeup and dirt in the skin. A fluffy cloud (or at least as I imagine ) Two interesting ingredients in this cloud, or,  the foam, the Baltic St. John's Wort and Calendula. St. John's wort is mentioned frequently as "nature's wonder drug", with characteristics known to calm both inside and outside of the body. Call flower has been used in skin care through the ages - called, for example, "joy knob" of Shakespeare for its ability to give life to your skin. Call Flower is designed to nourish your skin while it cleans and pulls pores.

Scent
At the first meeting of the nose, the alcohol is quite clear, but it evaporates quickly and leaves a green, fresh scent. Fresh, one could summarize it as.

Packing
As I've mentioned many times before, I am no worshiper of plastic packaging. That's a natural part of my passion for natural and organic skin care. But there are exceptions. Madaras Ecos packaging is one of those. For these user-friendly and stylish container feels even plastic luxurious. And, of course, is the question of recyclable plastic. Madara Eco are certified by Ecocert, which guarantees this fact.

Use
Shake the bottle well, then press a few times at the pump. Apply with fingers gently on the face and neck. Rinse.

Results
Leaves a complexion that really feels cleansed in depth but without the drying effect. I'm usually hyper sensitive to facial cleanings, but this charm even my hard flirted skin. Just this cleansing foam is for all skin types, so I also had my friend Kelly try it. And the result was just as successful for her (although her skin might be wrong when it comes to facial cleansing.)

Rating
I am super happy with this. Can not be anything but . 5/5.

Visiting another Esthetician

I allowed myself 50 minutes facial yesterday.
200 meters from my workplace, where
two nice girls work.Tisha and Jessica I have know them for a while.  
You may wonder if I am an esthetician, why should
I then have to go to another esthetician. I take care of my skin regularly,
uses exfoliation, face mask and the like, but it will be a completely different
feeling to be cared for, that someone else cares about you.

It's like the difference between when the hairdresser washes your hair and when you do it yourself.
You do not have to do anything yourself, just relax and enjoy the moment,
it's worth a lot.
I usually try to go for facial and pedicure every two months.
I think this is right, then I use good products and manage my
skin daily.
You who have never gone to any treatment, it is recommended that you at least
try it. You are likely to enjoy to the fullest,

Summer Shopping!!!

 I have shopped some this week. Summer Shopping has has been an issue for a while but I have not had time to remove the coma in stores and usually do not find something to suit either. But today I found a cotton
dress and I bought two ,one in gray and the other is old pink, as you see in the picture below,
A real bargain, right?
The shoes are from Belle shoes
The jacket at H & M
Enough is enough with shopping, for this month.
Soon autumn clothes.

Now I will go and have a glass of Orange Juice..

See you soon  Hug,, Lauren ♥

A healthier alternative to bread

Poor eating habits threaten our health. We eat too much sugar and saturated fat, but too little fruit and vegetables and many of us are fat. Eight out of ten do not eat enough fruit and veg, and four in ten are eating too much sugar. 15 percent of the energy intake-calories-from candies, soft drinks, pastries and snacks. Many young people drink four liters of soda a week. Crazy after all!

When I was little, I got candy, chips and soda on Saturdays. There was no question that there would be at home on any other day of the week. and god what I longed for these Saturdays, it was really luxury. Today the kids eat candy and drink soda every day were and many do not know, (for treats) what to look forward to and really enjoy it, is.

I really try to eat healthy, but even if I choose a healthier option, it still has sugar in tomato sauce, for example, the bread. I have also tried me on the carb a few times, but I Get tired, crazy in the head and can not think. No, I love my pasta too much to give it up completely.
However, I skipped the bread. Eat it in very few occasions, do not think I need it in my diet. But sometimes I can be like that super fancy a cheese sandwich with lots of butter. It is not the bread itself that attracts, but more the mixture of everything. I baked the other day bread without flour. I know, it sounds crazy, but it actually goes.

Here's the recipe if you are eager to try. Not only that they are good, they are sick healthy and so they give us a more beautiful and healthy skin.

with Carrots 8-10 pc

1/2 kg Carrots
2 cups almonds
2 cup sunflower seeds
2 cups pumpkin seeds
1 cup flax seed
4 eggs
salt and spices

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Peel the carrots finely. Mix nuts and seeds along with 3 cups of grated carrots, Add the salt and Spices. Stir the eggs into the batter. Shape the dough into balls and place on a baking sheet with baking paper. Sprinkle some pumpkin and sunflower seeds over and bake in the oven for 60 minutes

Suncoats Products. Nail Polish!!

Here is a picture of my hand with nail polish! From about the age of 12, I had long, long nails,they were strong and my pride. I loved the shape trend nail polish! Then when I realized that the nail polish emit more toxins than the automotive refinishing industry, so I gave up my load. I had Long unpainted nails until I trained as a skin care therapist. Does not work so well with long nails and massages. Mm, yes, I miss them my nice nails and think that my hands look very childish print.
But NOW I have found Suncoats water-based nail polish and I'm in seventh heaven! It is true that the nails kept short but I'll enjoy having beautiful colors!

You paint with advantage in the evening (I've tested in the morning and it has actually worked well) so it cures properly. You can paint on a layer after about 30 seconds. Once painted, it stays better than a regular paint. So good that you should remove it within a week.
I wash my hands very often, they are also in oil and hot water several times a day and it works just fine! When you want to remove the polish as you take their natural nailpolish remover which is made from corn fermeterad, soyaolja and vegetable glycerin. Take a wad of cotton and remove the paint. Suncoat's Removal works on other regular nail polish. The nail polish has won awards in Canada two times in a row.
ps The color I used is called Pink Passion and I painted it two layers.

The art of choosing the right skin care

What you should really consider when choosing skin care? When I buy new skin care products, I always have this questions: What does my skin need right now? I feel dry, oily, I have a lot of impurities of the skin? The skin condition can differ depending on where we are and what climate we are in. Stress and poor health can also affect the skin's condition. I am often asked what to do with a skin that is out of balance. Most people describe that they have tried many different products, but nothing works. My first thought then is that they have not been looking at the big picture, but may have only concentrated on the fact that they get much pimples on their chin, for example.

When the case is that your chin is full of pimples and impurities but your skin is okay, you use products for oily and blemished skin for only the chin. Using the wrong type of products in areas which require a completely different skin care, can make the skin become imbalanced. Then, it can of course be related to other factors as well, but the wrong product for the wrong place is not good. One of the most common mistakes is that we use "light" cream. People are terrified of being too glossy. But that is precisely the problem. Do you have a skin that easily gets dry during the day when the climate is dry inside and out and you need more moisture and fat. Even if you feel you have an oily skin, acne, You still need a richer cream in autumn and winter.

If your skin is feeling gray and dull, it may be neccesary that you add an exfoliation that increases circulation and a wonderfully refreshing and moisturizing mask to your skin care routine. It need not be complicated or difficult. You just have to learn your skin's needs. Do you think it's hard to know what to choose. Enlist the help of a professional or Consultant and describe how you want your skin to be. And give the products a chance. Do not give up after a few days. It takes a while for the skin to get used to it except if you start having skin irritation then you stop immidiately. Also keep in mind that what works for best friend, may not work for you. We are all different.

Here are some Moisturizing Skin Care Products I recommend.

NeoStrata Ultra Moisturizing Face Cream

Lathene Restore and Ultra Moisturizer

Rejuve Glycolic Acid for Moisturizing

BreakFast Recipe!!

I have come to a good start of my day. And the morning is important for one's well-being. Therefore, I put on my breakfast diet. In the past, I ate a sandwich. But since I eat breakfast early,  I feel hungry when I got to work at eight. A friend told me about eating plain yogurt with lots of nuts and fruit instead. So I started with that. In fact, this is both good and very filling. Now I'm hungry first at 11 - the time and is very energetic. The ingredients I have in my yogurt is not only tasty and nutritious, but also make your skin radiant.

Flax seeds contain omega 3 - fatty acids that help keep the skin soft and smooth
Whole almonds make you stay full longer. They also contain vitamin E, which has a healing effect on the skin and also monounsaturated fat, which also makes the skin soft and supple and prevents dryness.
Sunflower seeds also contain vitamin E.
Raisins are rich in the antioxidant Reservatol believed to be involved in protecting the body from unnecessary aging
Blueberries are rich in antioxidants that protect your skin and make it more resistant.

So for those of you who want a more filling breakfast. Try this and skip all that bread units. It is important to what we eat. Beauty as you all know will actually largely from within.

Dermalogica: Sebum Clearing Masque

Sebum Clearing Masque by Dermalogica has become a big favorite of mine and I never want it to end once i get started ! This is really a product that will fit perfectly if you have acne / fethy which I may not really have, so I would say that it fits perfectly even if you do not have acne but want a more deep cleansing face mask! :)

The first time I tried this, I was a little surprised at how it felt. A cooling sensation at first and then i felt a little uncomfortable, but now I love it!

  It Contains
 
    Salicylic acid - removes congestion-counter acne-related inflammation
    Cinnamon Bark Extract - prevents acne bacteria
    Oats, Bisabo and Licorice Root - soothes

Use:
    Apply on the layer to be cleansed. slightly damp skin.
    Avoid eye and lip area.
    Leave for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly off.

I personally have been a little bit in love with this product and will certainly try to treat myself to invest in a new one when this runs out! It probably will in fact be perfect for summer with its cool sensation

Psyllium Secrets!!

I have had a busy and eventful autumn with the opening of friends charity Organisation that works with AMREF. Worked, Stressed, eating JUNK. Drinking massive amounts of wine. And slept for a bit. It is seen in the intestinal zones of the face and the body.
Now it's time to change that.

Last spring, I excluded the carbohydrates in a few days to clear the body and I felt so fantastic. Started running, had unreal energy, could see clearer, breathe. Everything felt absolutely wonderful. So I have decided that it is time for it again.

Plus, I went and bought a pack of Psyllium today. They had it all to my great joy in the small coop in the subway.

Psyllium is a small little seed that comes from the plant leaf frog. Much the same bulk and when you mix with water and swallow down It forms some beneficial mucus in the stomach and intestines that allow all debris to pass easily.

It is good for constipation and diarrhea, if you have IBS or trying to lose weight.

Tip tip!

Mádara Ecoface - Deep Comfort Toner

Deep Comfort Toner is a hydrating facial toner, with two main bases: Rose Water and Baltic chamomile. Rose water. It is a relatively well-used ingredient in organic skin care in cleansing. But you'll also find rose water in conventional medicines and perfumes. Rose water is among other things known to have a gentle cleansing and astringent effect on the skin. Combined with Baltic chamomile, which also has several cleansing and antiseptic properties, Madara Eco created a cool, gentle and effective toning.

Scent
The scent reminds me of herbal tea.

Packing
Transparent plastic bottle. Slightly less fancy than the other packages in Madaras range of organic skin care.

Use
Yes, it requires not any detailed instructions on how to use a toner :) Use a cotton pad to apply it on your face like any other cleancer.

Results
Was completely surprised that this toner made my skin softer. My previous experience of toning has been directly opposite, then the rather shriveled my skin - probably because most face lotions contain alcohol. But this was very, very good! Despite negative for packaging that exceeds the content and use many toning I previously tested.

Clerasil !!!

Clerasil is something I've never gotten myself into, not even when I was younger and had no Clerasil pin against pimples (I remember correctly now?) That was incredibly popular with teenagers! But now that they've launched a new cleaning line for your skin, I was a bit curious and felt I just had to try! Clerasil have well been a bad product to me when I was younger so I would of course give them a chance to change my mind and my prejudices about them, I have already used the series for about 3 weeks, but skin care products must be tested in at least 4 weeks so no time for review quite yet! ;) I will mostly just share with you info about these products!

A Perfect Foundation for a great price

I decided to blog about my love for Prioris foundation . So many of you have heard of this product and was curious about it. Some of you have thought that it is a bit pricey, so I thought to myself tell you about the offer they have right now so you can click here to check for the nearest agent near you for Prioris and you can get a discount:

When buying the new lovely big fluffy Prioris , you get 30% off any foundation from Priori Perfecting Minerals. Did you know that Prioris mineral powder contains almost twice as much (14g) as ordinary mineral powder. So it's not as expensive as you might at first think. Most mineral foundations is 8-10g)

Make Up For Kathy

What more can you ask for?
It was very early Saturday morning, 07:00 and woke up in the morning and went to a client's Home . A prospective bride was waiting for me in her room. I was there to disguise the bride.
When I arrived, the hairdresser (Macy Hair) completed bride's Hair so for me it was just to make up for her and she wanted the makeup to be as natural as possible.

Below you can see some pictures of her. I made up for the groom a little bit too, but he did not want to be on blog as he thought it was not so manly to wear make-up. I put just conceiler, foundation and little lip gloss.

Now it's time for me to go out in the nice weather and just enjoy ...

Yes, I know, I'm a spoiled girl who get gifts all the time ...
"Becuse I'm worth it", I am into L'oreal advertising and Marketing,.
As long as I maintain my humility, not to lose their footing
and never forget where I come from,
so it is well okay right?
I heard from a friend of mine a while ago, she said
"I know what you've worked with before and I read your blog
almost every day. You are invited to all the Skin care company parties and you
know a lot everywhere, but when I meet you, you are still the same simple humble person. "
I was so happy to hear her say it, it's the best compliment I can get. thanks to Susanne.
Now back to my gifts that I received on the day of Vancouver golf tournament. As you can see in the picture below is partly a leather bracelet and a pink.
Hihihi, what can i do with it?
I've never had toys before, I think putting it in the medicine cabinet would be the best ...

Have a wonderful day

Question of Carbs!!

Ok I got the question of carbs from one of my readers.

I do eat pasta, potatoes, bread, rice, couscous, candy, etc... And I do not eat those products known as "whole grain". Pasta called wholemeal often maybe 80% plain white flour and only 20% whole wheat flour. But i make sure i limit my intake and make sure it does not have to be everyday or every time. I am a great eater as my friends say but i make sure i read the right things because my health is very important to me.

People often think that you should eat lots of eggs and cheese and mayonnaise etc. but all that is just trying to dictate the way your life goes and still not enjoying all you can. I always tell my friends, As long as you can eat your carbs with Veges then you have no problem at all.


If the others are eating spaghetti and Bacon Sauce I eat Spaghetti with Pure vege salad and shrimps.

It is thus no diet but plainly heating healthy, I eat a lot of fruits and berries and nuts too which is very important as they help in giving the body nutrients. Just make sure you do not eat Carbs and Fat as that is a bad combination! And drink lots of water and herbal tea. Hugs, Lauren♥

Exuviance Serum

My colleague Joan was at the Exuviance weekend course. I would actually have gone on the course also but we decided to split between two courses so it was busy all the way day and night all weekend.

A super fun news is that Exuviance launches 4 new products! Exuviance is not very often with new products so it is especially exciting when it comes new. Exuviance series expanded with new features. Exuviance serums are the perfect way to supercharge your daily skincare regimen. These concentrated problem-solving essentials target specific skin concerns including lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, dullness, oxidative damage and loss of elasticity. Worn alone or layered to boost the benefits to your complexion.

Infirior Moments!!

Sometimes I get intimidated by what i read and forget I know things that not everyone knows also. For example, sorry! Bowel zones are therefore as you can see in the mouth. Around the nose down towards the corners of the mouth and out towards your ears. And in the middle of the forehead.

Regarding problems with stomach: Eat as I said, psyllium seeds, and probiotics.

Sure, it may feel like you can not afford to eat well for they are often portrayed as expensive and nuts. But if you educate a little on the subject, it's actually not expensive to eat well. On the contrary, sometimes.

A packet noodles for example, with one of those little flavor sachet are really cheap.
But if you compare what a head of cabbage cost and how much food you get for your money, you quickly realize that is a superfood that is cheap!
Cabbage contains SO much vitamins and also probiotics that are good for the intestines.

You can tear cabbage and make coleslaw, make cabbage salad, marinate the cabbage pieces in garlic, olive oil and spices. Eat as snacks and dip, shred into long strips and cook light and use instead of pasta. Mix into tiny flakes and have instead of rice. And so on.

A head of cabbage that does not cost nearly anything can replace a package of rice, a packet of pasta, etc. which are much more expensive and worse for the body.

One can also buy beans and lentils and make steaks instead of expensive and environmentally unfriendly meat.

Instead of cow's milk, you can buy a package of oatmeal and make your own oat milk. Oats are a real miracle plant and lubricates and strengthens the body from the inside in a very unique way.

Oatmeal is a great breakfast! I always eat oatmeal for breakfast. With cinnamon and rice milk. Cinnamon is very sweet in itself and strengthens and stimulates the digestive tract. It also regulates blood sugar. So you certainly do not need sugar, even if you learned it twenty years ago. ;-)
so I just mix oatmeal with water, let the grains fall to the bottom and pour the water over the oatmeal so it becomes oat milk in a minute.

So I can agree that it is "difficult" to eat healthily. (More fantasy-consuming, which may be very hard when you have the stresses of everyday life), but not that it is more expensive.

OH MORNING WOOPS!!

This morning when I looked in the mirror. I realized that the skin was very dry and I had pimples on the face. A real big pimple on his forehead.

I seldom get pimples but now I knew why.The reason is all the alcohol I drank on New Years Eve.

As an esthetician, I know that any kind of alcohol higher than 8% dehydrates the body. It, therefore, comes with more water out of the body, than it itself contains.

This naturally also affects the skin, which becomes drier and loses elasticity. So I made a mini facial with deep cleansing, exfoliation and moisturizing mask.

Now I will just grease the face with moisturizer and a little make-up then,

I am ready to face the world again
