Forget New York, Las Vegas is the real “City that doesn’t sleep” but it’s also known as the “City with puffy eyes, dark circles and bags.”

I have had a crazy last few weeks…5 Spring Fashion Shoots , 2 advertising campaigns, a commercial and 3 cover shoots! Little to no sleep and a suitcase full of stress have left my eyes in a less than desirable state.  What to do, what to do?

This was the perfect time to test a celebrity cult  favorite product that I have been dying to try and have been told will  rescue my eyes from their zombie-esc state, Eyedews.

Celebs like Jenny McCarthy have been raving about Eyedews over the past year so I decided it was my turn to give them a try!

Made of all natural ingredients including vitamins A and C, collagen, aloe extracts, lavender oil and purified water they are super-easy and convenient to use. Just peel back the foil from the package, remove the Eyedews and apply them just below each eye.

What I really love is that they adhear to your skin so that you don’t have to lay down to have them on. Ahhhh Heaven.

Ok so they feel great but what do they actually do?

The replenishing, re-plumping ingredients make Eyedews a great all around anti-aging, moisturizing, rejuvenating experience:

• Improves circulation and stimulates production of new, youthful skin cells.

• Relaxes, calms, and pumps up moisture-retention levels to new heights.

• De-puffs and reduces dark circles with skin-brightening ingredients.

• Relieves irritation and redness calming compounds.

• Minimizes pores with clarifying, cleansing oils.

• Hydrates crepe-like skin and resurfaces fine lines.

The Perfect pick-me-up!

They are a must-have for anyone:

•  Great to have with you on a long flight to keep your eyes looking fresh
•  Perfect eye refreshment for a hangover
• Late night? No problem! Eyedews will have you looking like you got a solid 8 hours of sleep
• Hallmark movie marathon crying jag?  Eyedews will reduce that puffiness faster than you can switch the channel
• Models with your crazy schedules you definitely need to add these to your model bags

Eyedews Tip: For extra refreshment try chilling them in the refrigerator before applying!  Ahhhhhhhh.

Available  at Eyedews.com  Get some now! Trust me, your eyes will thank you!

 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.

Despite the handshake and smiles, it’s all out war between best pals Tuck (Tom Hardy, left) and FDR (Chris Pine), who are battling over the woman (Reese Witherspoon), for whom they’ve both fallen.

Last Week’s lucky winner is Lisa!  Congrats!

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!

The belt is the single most underestimated accessory.

A belt can aid in flattering your figure, adding a chic touch to your look, and keeping things in place. Think of it as the cherry on the top of a sundae.

Choosing a belt and knowing how to use it can be a little overwhelming, so I sat down with THE belt expert Raina Goldenberg of Raina Belts to help you learn how to buckle up this season!

Q: With so many styles of belts how do you know which is right for a particular look?

RG:  The right belt can instantly transform your style.  A belt with color and texture  can really pop on a monochromatic look and a stretchy belt can sartorialize a otherwise baggy fitting dress. But many women have a difficult time choosing the right belt for the right look.

The Obi Belt style is perfect for wearing with tucked in shirts to hide the division of bottom and top and stunning when cinched over a long jacket.

 Leather Belts are great slung around the hips or fitted at waist over loose fitting dresses to create a Bohemian look.

Wide Belts look amazing over skirt and top combos giving them a retro wow factor.

Thin Belts make a stunning exclamation point over a light cardigan.

Embellished Belts a chic combination of soft leather and faceted crystals ensures it’s a striking yet versatile choice for day or night.  Pair it with a dress or high-rise denim for a more casual approach.

Knotted, Braided or Woven Belts.  Go for a relaxed, bohemian look with a versatile knotted, woven or braided belt, perfect for pairing with anything from skinny jeans to maxi dresses.

This year fashion retailer Express is the official sponsor of the 2012 Miss America Program.  The year long partnership kicks off this week with pageant events and fashion shows wrapping up on January 14 at 8pm EST with the live ABC broadcast of the 2012 Miss America Pageant from the Planet Hollywood Casino Resort in Las Vegas.  Miss America 2012 will wear Express exclusively throughout her rein.

“Miss America has always been committed to scholarship and service while doing so with incredible personal style and self-expression, ideals that speak to girls and young women alike,” said Mary Landaverde, Director of Licensing for Miss America Properties. “Express recognizes these shared values, and serves as a natural partner with us, in reaching today’s contemporary young woman.

Last night I was invited to attend an exclusive event at Express Fashion Show Mall where I and a select group of fashionable ladies met with Jennifer Bayley, Public Relations Manager of Express to learn about the partnership with Miss America and discuss Spring trends.

Express’ hottest trend of the season is their HUGE selection of colored denim.  With more color choices than a pack of Skittles you are sure to find the denim color of your dreams!

Floral prints are another big  trend for Spring/Summer 2012. This year the prints are more of the jungle than garden variety.  Jennifer suggests layering sheer floral tops over an ombre sparkly tank  for a chic summer shimmer.

Show-stopping color trends for Spring include Tangerine Tango and Cobalt Blue.

After our trend preview we were escorted over to the main stage at Fashion Show Mall to watch the 2012 Miss America contestants model a glittering array of Express evening and party dresses.

Be sure to watch the exciting events unfold on January 14 at 8pm EST with the live ABC broadcast of the 2012 Miss America Pageant from the Planet Hollywood Casino Resort in Las Vegas as Miss America 2012 is crowned.

Last week’s lucky winner is Cabigirl!  Congrats!

We are busy women.

There simply just aren’t enough hours in the day.  We rush off to work where we run around like crazy then head straight to errands, dinners, the gym,events, etc where we change clothing in our cars, public restrooms or offices.

It becomes a bit frantic and can leave you feeling a little less than fresh.  A couple spritzes of perfume can help sweeten the pot but doesn’t take care of intimate places we would like to freshen 1/2 way through the day.

Lets be frank ladies.  Sometimes our Muffs get the short end of the stick. (feel free to insert a “that’s what she said” comment here)

I have a friend who for years has carried baby wipes (even before children) in her handbag to “freshen up”.  The only problem is that we need to be careful  what products we put “down there”. Perfumes, scents, and artificial colors are no bueno for your fantastico area!

I have discovered a new line that I am IN LOVE with!  I Love My Muff (they had me at the name).

Created by Candian beauty guru Ritz Clinging who was inspired to fill a “hole” lol she saw in the feminine hygene market.

Her line of muff friendly products are perfect for the modern woman.

I know what you are thinking.  ”I’m clean!! I don’t need anything for down there!”

Caring about your muff or searching out products that freshen or clean doesn’t mean your “dirty”, on the contrary it means you care about and take pride in intimate cleanliness!

I Love My Muff has a variety of intimate products including cleansers, sprays, lotions and wipes which are all cruelty free, vegan, free of parabens, SLS, synthetic colors, and fragrances.

My top rated product would be the wipes.  I LOVE THEM LOVE THEM LOVE THEM! Perfectly individually wrapped wipes that fit discreetly in your handbag and make it convenient to freshen anytime.  A Must-have for the gal on the go!  Don’t leave home without them!

With its clean packaging and bold messaging I Love My Muff products are a statement of confidence and a great find for every woman!

I LOVE MY MUFF wants you to start the New Year with confidence.  1 Lucky winner will receive a I Love My Muff Maintenance Kit and I Love my Muff wipes.
