I love Angelrox's THE WRAP!
My new obsession is Angelrox's THE WRAP! I first came across this genius wrap at StyleFixx NYC, a shopping event, where I met the owner of Angerox who introduced me to her wraps (and other cool clothing). I HAD to have one. The owner could not have been any kinder, and with THE WRAP she proves to be insanely inventive! Do you want a skirt, dress, vest, top, or shawl? Do you want it long, short, or somewhere in between? Sleeveless or short sleeve? You decide with this wrap! Crafted in Brooklyn, NY. and made of Eco-friendly fabric, you can make a million different outfits out of one piece! I have already bought two for the summer. They are great for traveling because they never wrinkle and are simple to pack. Plus, with all the variations you can wear it more than once and nobody will know you're wearing the same thing! Get yours now at www.thewrap.info! You can also become a 'fan' by visiting the Angelrox Facebook page! Things like this make me so happy. <3

Simple Tips For Healthy Skin
Hey Everyone!
Here are some simple (but VERY important tips for healthy, beautiful skin), Other than the obvious wash and tone!
1. Don't smoke. Not only does it give you cancer, but your skin will turn wrinkly and saggy. You can always tell who a smoker is by the old leather look. So, unless you want your face to look like an old Gucci bag don't smoke and limit your exposure to smoke.
2. NO TANNING. It's worse for your skin than smoking! It gives you cancer and makes your face ugly. You will have hyperpigmentation, sun spots, deep wrinkles, and unrepairable damage. It's the number one thing that ages you. Prevention is the best medicine. Wear sunscreen everyday. It's so worth it!
3. Make your dermatologist and facialist your best friends. They can do things you never dreamed of. Just make sure your Derm and skin specialist are top-notch.
4. Use a Retinol product every night. I'm a big fan of Retin-A. Retinol is Vitamin A derivative that speeds cell turn over. It helps with acne, pigmentation, and wrinkles. It's a win-win. The earlier you start the better!
5. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Even only skin needs a good moisturizer. Day and night... No exceptions. Look for Hyaluronic Acid, peptides (like Copper and Matrixol) and
essential fatty acids (Omega 3 & 6), collagen, and so on.
6. Every morning use an anti-oxidant serum. Serums penetrate better than creams. Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Aplha-lipoic acid, grape seed, green tea, Vitamin A, Ferulic, Astaxanthin, and so on.
7. Use a good eye cream! This is the most delicate part of the face and first to show signs of aging. Don't forget to moisturize your lips, too!
8. I can't mention this enough: sunscreen everyday, at least SPF 30! Don't forget your neck, chest, and hands.
9. Exfoliate: Enzymes, beads, Alpha-Hydroxy acids, and peels are the way to go. Skip if using a Retinol product.
10. Take care of yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally. Stress and an unhealthy
lifestyle show up on your face. Get plenty of sleep, eat well, exercise, spend time with the people you love, and take the the time to do the things you enjoy! Learning to manage stress helps too!
11. Last, but not least, we cannot forget hydration. Dehydrated skin is a prominent problem among many people. You have to hydrate from the inside as well as the outside. So, along with your moisturizer, drink lots of water, limit caffeine/alcohol, and eat foods with high water contents (like veggies and fruits).
Hope that's useful! Remember, your skin is the canvas for your makeup!

Salmon Concealer
Hi Everyone!
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to begin this blog. Things have been crazy at work! Anyway, I wanted to talk to you all about Eve Pearl's Salmon Concealer. It's her number one product and she is famous for it. As most of you know, under-eye concealer is a must for everyone. But, most women are never satisfied with the concealers that are on the market. Traditionally, we are told to choose a yellow toned concealer (which turns blue/purple circles green) or a concealer that is lighter/brighter than our natural skin tone (which turns dark circles gray). All you're doing with these concealers is highlighting the area and giving yourself that dreaded 'racoon eye look'. Eve's Salmon concealer solves this problem. The peachy color of the concealer (available in light, medium, tan, dark, and deep) neutralizes under-eye circles, blending them away! Think about it: orange is opposite of blue on the color wheel; so the peachy/orange color of the concealer cancels out blue circles. Everyone who uses this concealer loves it. The concealer is also a treatment (Yes! It has antioxidants that prevent fine lines and wrinkles. You can even use it at night!) It's smooth texture never gets cakey (so smooth) and it's undetectable (Eve's line is all High Definition!) Try it! Available at http://www.evepearl.com/.
