Saving Energy during this HOT Summer
I have been learning some incredible energy saving tips, especially while it has been so hot this summer and air conditioners are running high. I found this site that actually helps you save thousands on your electric bill by saving energy in our homes and I know we can always use those tips.
In the quest to conserve our earth and reduce waste, there is no better time than to put into practice the essentials of saving money, energy and gas. Our economy has hit everyone pretty hard and it almost seems like the universe is giving us a choice to try and mend our ways of waste or continue down the path of destruction. A few of the most basic ways is to 1.Unplug things that are not being used from the wall (even when appliances are not used, them being plugged in is using energy 2. Use fans instead of air conditioning (we all have heard this one and it is true, it saves alot more energy) 3. Change the light bulbs in your home to energy efficient (yes you pay a little more up front for them but they last alot longer and you are not burning as much).

FALSE LASHES OR NO LASHES
Having my own business, I have learned the importance of evolving and changing the business just to keep up with the current trends. Of course my main focus is to provide healthy beauty choices and information to my customers, but it gets increasingly hard to compete with makeup trends that are quick fixes but detrimental in the long run. LASHES, that's right I said it. We as women love quick fixes that are going to make us look better, our eyes are a key to our souls so they say, but are those quick fixes really better? When wearing semi-permanent lashes (from 2 weeks up to 2 months) the lashes actually start getting weaker and begin to break off and not grow back for up to 8 weeks. Most of the time we do lashes because we think ours are too short, don't have very many,stunted growth, not thick enough, etc..
The current trend is to put on false lashes with either hair bonding glue, a harsher glue that burns the eye area or a glue with formaldehyde in it. There is nothing wrong with wearing false lashes, first choice would be lashes that are removable at the end of the day or if your going to do semi-permanent, get lash extensions with the technician using a high grade quality glue and certainly done by a professional like wink couture lashes.
Luckily there is some great information on lashes and also some great tips that could help with growth.
There are various Causes of Stunted Eye Lash Growth
There are a lot of causes for the eyelash loss or falling out. The first one will have something to do with the cosmetic product that you’re using, specifically the mascara. If you have the low-grade version, contains harmful chemicals, or is applied heavily into your eyelashes, there’s a huge chance that your lashes will react negatively to your mascara.
It could also be because of a medical condition known as madarosis or simply falling off the eyelashes. It could be a symptom of an underlying cause, usually a problem with the thyroid glands. You may also be suffering from an eyelid infection such as a sty. Eyelashes can also fall off if you happen to rub your eyes vigorously.
How to Grow Long Eyelashes Faster
Growing your eyelashes again requires some patience. However, if you can no longer wait, there are certain things that you can do to speed up their growth or reduce your anxiety:
1. Try natural methods. There are women who can vouch for the effectiveness of castor and olive oil on the lashes. Moreover, besides being affordable and available, they are quite easy to apply. You just need to dab some oil into the eyelids, where you want the eyelashes to grow. You can also try out Vaseline.
2. Wear fake eyelashes. Most of the fake eyelashes today looked so real that no one can really tell the difference. You can wear them when you’re going to go out, but make sure that they are removed once you’re already on your home. They can also be irritating.
3. Seek help. If your eyelashes are falling out because of a medical condition, the best option is to ask for recommendations from the doctor.
Use Eyelash Growth Product
Most of all, you can get those longest eyelashes back with the help of a special product called Lilash. This revolutionary lash conditioner is very safe to use, even for those with very sensitive eyes. It has been tested to ensure that it’s user-friendly. Lilash helps to stimulate the growth of your eyelashes, reducing the time frame to half. Furthermore, the lashes that grow are healthy—long, curvaceous, and gorgeous to look at.

Look slim while Getting Slimmer
I ran across a friend of mine and she was telling me that she really wanted to get into her favorite dress that she has not worn since she was 19(She is now over 40). That's sorta crazy I thought, but I went along with it. She explained how she has been dieting and very little is coming off- that is usually what happens when you get to 40, it is harder to get the pounds off and keep them off. I asked her the basic questions like are you eating properly? When are you eating?Are you exercising, etc...? She of course said she was doing all that.
Well I told her that the one thing I have found is that when I did a colon cleanse that had probiotics in it first (I do a cleanse at least three times a year, no more than 4)and starting taking the wellness juice LeVive my metabolism kicked in strong and I found myself being able to be more active (hence keeping pounds off). Then we starting talking about body reshapers and whether they really worked. I have seen some amazing results when the person wears it everyday. The health benefits are incredible as well. The stories I am getting are, no more back pains, posture is corrected, feel renewed, feel better and look better all the way around. When you use the reshapers along with nutrients than you are definitely bound to get those unwanted pounds off. The reshapers alone make you 2-4 sizes smaller immediately-so it also gives you motivation to keep going with the weight loss. Needless to say only 2 weeks later and using the regimen I gave her, she has lost 5 pounds. Not bad. She is well on her to getting her 19yr old body back.

Great Skin at Any Age
I got approached today by a youngun'(so cute), when I told him my age he replied "you really are a cougar"-never thought of myself as that but I'll take it. It goes to show how important it is to take care of yourself. No one HAS to look older than they are if they can help it. We tend allow stress, kids, husbands, jobs, etc... come before ourselves. There is nothing wrong with taking care of everyone, that is what we do, but we definitely have to allow ourselves to take care ourselves as well. I make sure that my daily-nightly natural skincare regimen is a must and I use that time to pamper my skin. If I am going to put anything on my skin it has to be good for my skin. Skin is the largest organ and research has shown, when you take a shower, your body absorbs as much as an 80z glass of water. Wow!! Can you imagine what else it absorbs? Gotta be careful and do the right thing.
The right thing for me is definitely staying in organic and natural products. As always I make sure my skin is hydrated. That means from the "outside in". I make sure I drink water and moisturize my face and body. I have dry skin and my favorite products are Yum Gourmet Pearl Hydrating Serum and Yum Gourmet Cranberry Creme Moisturizer. This line is vegan approved organic. The serum repairs my skin from dehydration (allows the skin to hold onto moisture better) and sun damage, while the moisturizer gives incredible hydration. You definitely don't have to be heavy handed with any of these products. A little goes a long way.As with any great skincare product, it should last you about 3 1/2 months (that's using it day and night). Speaking of night - the reason why you want to use a moisturizer at night is because our skin goes into a "sleep or rest " mode and while it is in that state the skin absorbs more repair and hydration than during the day. During the day the skin is so busy fighting free radicals, almost like in a tense state. We only have one face, take care of it and it will take of you.
