Miss Ivana

I love New Years for the excuse to wear a fabulous dress and those wonderful cute hats! 

Yep, i look forward to the happy new year paper tiara and the funny whistle makers, all the confetti and of course the champagne.

Don’t let this holiday pass you by.  Use it to dress up!  It’s New Years for heavens sake.  Go all out and end the year in a bang.  Don’t hesitate to wear something smashing with a faboulous handbag and great shiny lipstick.

You can wear a black cocktail dress, or better yet, a beautiful bright solid and some tan skin.  Gorgeous!!!

Don’t forget to grab those party favors and be the bell of the ball……

See ya in the new year….

OK so you have been waiting for the ingredients for the facial scrub i learned from Pamela Anderson.  OK OK maybe you haven’t been waiting, but here it is anyway.

Just mix corn meal and pineapple juice.  The cornmeal acts as the natural scrubber and the pineapple juice acts as the citrus acid that leaves your skin smooth, shiny, and glowing.  Just mix both together and make a thick paste.  This can and should be used all over your entire body every chance you can.  Scrub in circular motions to take off all the dead, dull skin.

I have used this recipe for years and from my experience you will feel so smooth and refreshed and the pineapple scent is a great way to start off your morning.

Merry Christmas Everyone!  I hope you have a fabulous time with all of your loved ones and remember the REASON FOR THE SEASON.

Happy Holidays

Hey just a friendly reminder………

Don’t forget to use your facial scrub today, so you can look all fabulous with glowing skin in all of your holiday pictures.

You work it girl!

I have found that making your own home remedy microdermabrasion can be very satisfying.  When in need or you have run out, or maybe you just don’t feel like paying the high prices at the department stores. (I fully agree) Then why not make your own.  It is very simple……take regular white sugar and mix with olive oil to make a consistent paste.  This really works and smells good.  Your skin will feel super smooth and Rosy.  The ingredients are always found in your home, they are natural, and FREE because you have already previously purchased them.

I have an additional recipe that i learned from Pamela Anderson, and i will post that soon also. 

Look Beautiful and Have a great day!

In just 2 minutes a day, this patented, easy 2-step system gives you a highly developed skincare regimen plus Microexfoliation™- without recovery time. Microexfoliation™ is a gentle, non–irritating method of removing cellular debris from the surface of the skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer more even complexion. MD Skincare® Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel yields results far superior to other methods of exfoliation. Significant, notable and lasting improvement is achieved through daily use – maintain a luminous look all day long. 

I find that this product works well when used consistently. Everyday use shows improvement and wanted results.  A smooth surface.  It does dry the skin a bit, but i like seeing all of my impurities shrink up.

You can purchase this product online, Sephora’s or at your most fabulous department store.

The The Day Earth Stood Still

This is a 2008 American Science Fiction Film, a remake of the 1951 film with the same name. Directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, the film updates Cold War themes like nuclear warfare to the more contemporary issue of man’s environmental damage to the planet.

I really like the meaning behind this film and the deep message that it sends.  I would say that this film is more of a rental so don’t waste your money going to the theater, just relax and home and watch it one night.

See you at the movies….

Wow what an awesome product to use in the shower.  Out of all the exfoliant products i have used, this is my favorite.  This product has pharmaceutical grade crystals.  This is good for the skin and doesn’t rough it up and damage it like a lot of less expensive products can do.  It makes your skin feel so silky smooth and and look so wonderful under your makeup.  It is a white pasty substance with a lemony smell.

You will not regret buying this product.  It runs $75 for the face and $45 for the body.  You can purchase at www.sephora.com or www.drbrantskincare.com.

This has been marked the most productive cream on the market for a very long time. Years to be exact.  It is a European product and since they have always been ahead of the curve.  I tend to believe in this line. 

I have used this product over the years, and although nothing truly gets rid of cellulite but working out and toning the heck out of that area.  It seems to really help make the skin look tighter and smoother.  Which is good for me when i am doing a bikini shoot.  When i go buy cellulite lotion at the mall, this is the one i grab.

Don’t be ashamed ladies.  Unless you have a rock hard body and workout all the time. Everyone has a bit of cellulite on their backside. Some a small amount and some a huge amount. Keep in mind, the sooner you notice it the better chance you have of getting rid of it.

This truly is the very best moisturizer i have ever used.  I use it all the time and when i run out i absolutely hate using anything else.  I can always feel the difference with others.  This lotion does leave a shinny tone and is a little greasy to the touch if you over do it, but i like that about it. I like the look of shiny skin. Especially the legs, they should always look shiny.

The Kiehls line is made with no artificial colors or smells.  They are very earth conscious,  contributing to the environment and helping to restore the ocean.  They use natural ingredients, use recycled products and soy ink.  They are awesome!

This product runs between 40-90 dollars depending on which size bottle you purchase.  I feel this is gold in a bottle and worth the purchase.  You can buy this product at www.Kiehls.com or at Nordstrom and any other store that carries the Kiehl’s line.

Kiehl’s has a lot of products you will be interested in and love, so check them out and let me know what you think.
