Fabulous Finds for Your Skin

Yes, I Dew! I’m lucky. People send me interesting products to taste, sip, apply and try. Many don’t quite past muster, but when they do, I enjoy sharing them. Since I just wrote about thick skin, this one seemed kind of appropriate. I may have thick skin, but it’s also super sensitive when it comes to scrubs and other exfoliants. I want to keep my skin smooth, but most scrubs are just too abrasive! That’s why I like the Dew Puff Original Konjac Sponge -a 100% natural konjac root plant fiber sponge. Konjac root is known as “elephant yam” in Japanese. Just add

How To Get Your Glow Going- The Natural Way

On July 29, 2016 / Aging Gracefully, Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living, Physical Beauty

Do you glow? I don’t mean in the irradiated sense or sparkled up with bling bling. I mean a glow that is your natural radiance. The “glow” is when your skin is clear; your hair shines, your eyes are bright; your energy is strong. You exude vitality and brilliance that cannot be purchased in a bottle or wrapped around your body. Clothes, jewelry and makeup can enhance your glow, but they cannot create it or replace it. Many say being in love and having a healthy fulfilling sex life helps. I agree, because your glow comes from inner peace, a sense

Beauty Recipes from the Kitchen with Heather Marianna

On April 10, 2016 / Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living

According to Beauty Kitchen Founder Heather Marianna “The kitchen isn’t just for cooking anymore.” I get it! Since I was a young girl in college with a limited beauty budget I was always looking for natural, homemade solutions to caring for my skin, hair and nails.

Store brought products, from mayonnaise and yogurt to honey, sugar, oatmeal, banana and eggs are just some of the ingredients I’ve mixed in various concoctions and applied to my face.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) 1 in 4 women experience thinning hair. While 40% of women experience thinning hair at time of menopause due to lower estrogen, it’s common for women to start losing their hair in their 20s and 30s. On the average we lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. If you notice your hair is thinning more or falling out in larger quantities you may be experiencing “alopecia,” which is the term for hair loss. There are many types of hair loss and causes. Sometimes it’s reversible; sometimes it’s not. However, it is manageable, and

Want To Look Better in 2016 Without Dropping $20,000?

On January 17, 2016 / Attitude Adjustment, Physical Beauty

An article in the January 8th Wall Street Journal called “The High Price of Beauty” revealed what four women spend annually to maintain their looks. Average cost? $20,000. For some that’s a child’s school tuition. For others it’s a mortgage. For these women and many others it’s annual maintenance. I used to be that woman. I’ve been a beauty junkie who has spent a small fortune over the years. I still have drawers and bowls of beauty products to show for it But what needed fixing first was my self-image. This couldn’t be treated with shots, creams and serums. I still value a great
