Freshen Up

by christiem on February 5, 2012 · 0 comments

 I have something FRESH for my readers this week .

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and what could be more important to your love life than fresh breath?

Did you know that Americans cite bad breath as the least attractive trait a co-worker can have? Studies have shown that 35% of Americans suffer from bad breath. Brushing your teeth isn’t enough to cure bad breath. Check out these unique cures, from Founder & CEO of Arch Dental, Dr. Pankaj Singh, that will leave you feeling better inside and out!

 

  • Practice good oral hygiene.
  • ·         Brush your teeth  AND tongue after you eat (keep a toothbrush/wisp at work or school to brush after lunch)
  • ·         Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months.
  • ·         See your dentist twice a year

  

 

  • Chew on mint leaves or parsley
  • Eating an orange is a good way to eliminate bad breath instantly. The citric acid present in oranges will help in stimulating the salivary glands and encourage the flow of breath-freshening saliva.

  • Eat Yogurt - Studies have shown that the active bacteria in yogurt, specifically Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, may have a beneficial effect on odor-causing bacteria in the mouth.

  • Drink lots of water. This will keep your mouth moist.

  • Chewing gum (preferably sugarless) or sucking on candy (preferably sugarless) also stimulates the production of saliva, which helps wash away food particles and bacteria.

 

This week Bath & Body Works wants to help you FRESHEN UP with multi-tasking lip gloss that is a step above the rest.

 Since it first debuted in 2005, Mentha Lip Shine has become a beauty phenomenon. Its remarkable triple benefit formula not only imparts shine and adds moisture but freshens breath with a potent dose of 2% real peppermint oil. No wonder Hollywood stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Lindsay Lohan have fallen in love with it.

1 Lucky Winner will receive a Mentha Lip Shine Assortment!

Dewrinkle my Decolletage

by christiem on January 22, 2012 · 9 comments

I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of skin care and I have tried just about everything out there on my hunt for the perfect decolletage treatment.

I have noticed over the past couple of years that I need to pay more attention to that area! Cracks, folds and wrinkles oh my!

I was invited to receive an amazing treatment/experience at Neiman Marcus (my favorite SPA LOL) where I was introduced to a miraculous all natural mineral skin care line called Omorovicza.

Omorovicza was created in Budapest the SPA capital of the world.

Called “The City of Healing Waters”  Budapest  is unique because there, the earths crust is at its thinnest so the water absorbs beneficial minerals more effectively.   Since Roman Times people from all over the world have traveled to Budapest to experience its thermal baths for relief from an array of maladies such as arthritis, skin ailments, aching  joints, gout and gastrointestinal problems.

The acronym SPA stand for “Sanitas Per Aqua”- Health Through Water which is what the Budapest based line Omorovicza brings to your skin.

A 100% natural skin care line Omorovicza contains NO Parabens, petrochemicals, silicones, synthetic colors or fragrances.  Just 100% natural ingredients to dramatically improve the appearance AND texture of your skin.

The Omorovicza facial I received was beyond words.  What better way to experience their products than to feel them at work on your skin?  The Las Vegas environment has left me with ridiculously dry skin but with the Omorovicza treatment my skin was seriously “as soft as a baby’s you know what”!  I couldn’t stop touching myself…LOL.

Dewrinkleing my decolletage-a mission that is now completed.  Of course nothing is going to leave already existing wrinkles completely invisible but my Omorovicza prescription below will definitely reduce the appearance of those lines!

The prescription for a wrinkle free decolletage

A combination of two Omorovicza products The Copper Peel and the Deep Cleansing Mask alternated every other week and topped off with a moisturizer (the Instant Plumping Cream works great with this routine).  Use this routine on your face as well.  See fine lines lessen and skin plump.

Copper Peel.  I OOH LA LOVE THIS.

A two phase peel combining a blue copper paste and lactic acid contains:

Copper Gluconate- purifies the skin and regulates the production of sebum (oil) helps build collagen and elastin.

Sodium Bicarbonate and Lactic Acid- refine and smooth the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Deep Cleansing Mask.  No more sallow looking skin- a skin brightening wonder.

Contains:

Hungarian Moor Mud- rich in calcium and magnesium carbonates cleanses and deeply nourishes.

White Clay- naturally absorbs pore-clogging oil and draws out toxins and impurities.

Leaves skin firmer more supple and younger looking.

I also have to mention Omorovicza’s Thermal Cleansing Balm.  Which left my skin seriously supple and soft.

 Thermal Cleansing Balm.  Unbelievably AMAZING!  I am completely Obsessed with this product!  Use it at night before bed.

Containing a scrumptious blend of:

Hungarian Moor Mud- rich in calcium and magnesium carbonates to swiftly remove impurities and make-up.

Sweet Almond Oil- replenishes skin to leave it soft and silky.

Orange Blossom Oil- the scent which lifts your spirits and senses.

I love the cleansing balm my skin felt fresh & clean yet soft hydrated and silky even before a moisturizer was applied.  None of the tight dry feeling you get from regular cleansers.

You can experience the healing powers of Omorovicza for yourself!
