Do You Know What's in Your Perfume? Natural Perfume Options March 15, 2018 14:08

Everyday we spritz perfume and cologne before heading out the door. But do you really know what you're spraying on your body?

Your perfume that you put on your body every day might not be as peachy as you may think. Your perfume might smell like a basket of roses but it actually contains many synthetic chemicals that are created in labs. Those same chemicals that cause you to get an unexpected headache or that upset stomach feeling.

 Some of these chemicals include benzene, acetone and ethanol, which have many side effects on a person's body and health. Acetone that's found in cologne, acts as a central nervous system depressant and can cause nausea, dryness of the mouth and slurred speech.  Inhalation of ethanol vapors can produce symptoms similar to those of indigestion. Benzaldehyde is a narcotic and a local anesthetic. Limonene is a carcinogenic and should not be inhaled. According to a 1991 study by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 95 percent of these chemicals are derived from petroleum and some are potentially hazardous. (Information found by Leaf TV article) 

So is your health really worth risking for that spray of perfume?

Excerpt from Dr.Mercola:

 <There’s a dirty little secret the fragrance industry would rather you not know about, however, which is the extreme toxicity of many of these products. Hidden behind their pleasant scents are typically chemicals linked to hormone disruption, reproductive problems, and even cancer.

Many perfumes sold at department stores, big-box retailers, and virtually everywhere else can aptly be described as poison – and this means that you could very well be sacrificing your health by wearing them…>

Don't you think it's time for a change? I sure do....it's time for healthier options.

Which is why I have been hard at work studying and preparing a new brand of all natural perfumes. Perfumes that you can feel good about applying. The skin is our largest organ. Whatever you put on your body gets absorbed and goes into your body. My new perfume line will contain only natural ingredients that were put on this planet not created in a lab. Beware of other companies "claiming" to be natural. If you see the word "fragrance" in the list of ingredients, take caution because that can mean it contains synthetic fragrances and chemicals.

See this excerpt from Dr. Mercola

< And although the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) actually has direct authority to regulate harmful ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, it doesn't exercise it… The Environmental Working Group (EWG) explains:

“When you see ‘fragrance’ on a personal care product's label, read it as ‘hidden chemicals.’ A major loophole in FDA's federal law lets manufacturers of products like shampoo, lotion, and body wash include nearly any ingredient in their products under the name ‘fragrance’ without actually listing the chemical.

Companies that manufacture personal care products are required by law to list the ingredients they use, but fragrances and trade-secret formulas are exempt.”>

I am really excited about the launch of this new all natural perfume line Forget Me Not Scents and hope you love it as much as I do.  Perfume that not only makes you smell good but feel good too!

Think Spring: Spring Style Blue and White March 12, 2018 13:29

I know many of us are "thinking Spring" yet here in the North East we're expecting yet another round of snow. But hey, we can still dream as we watch each snow flake fall <laugh> because it will be here before we know it.

There seems to be something about blue and white that always makes you think of Spring. I can remember even when my kids were young looking for Easter outfits, blue and white always seemed to be a prominent color choice.

Blue and white create a soothing calm feel. Crisp white pants and a pop of blue makes you feel like a fresh Spring day. This outfit is perfect for a day or night out with the girls or date night. Clean lines of the blue and white blouse with a trendy flutter sleeve over some white jeans or leggings, add some awesome accessories and your ready for some fun knowing you look fabulous!

Create a look like this and get yourself in a "Spring" frame of mind.

Details below for this look:

1) Necklace      2) Blue and White Top      3) Earrings

4) Sunglasses      5) White Pants      6) White Handbag

7) Lipstick      8) White Sandals

Benefits of Avocado Oil: Beauty Tips March 7, 2018 18:51

Do you really know what you're putting on your skin? Whatever we put on our bodies we are also putting in our bodies. Our skin is the bodies largest organ and absorbs whatever is applied to it. Avocado Oil is great for our skin. It's natural and has so many wonderful benefits.

Avocado Oil  Benefits:

1) It can penetrate into the second layer of the skin and provide deep moisturizing. 

2) Anti Aging: Avocado contain Vitamin E that helps boost collagen which adds firmness. And helps to fight the appearance of wrinkles.

3) Helps to repair skin from sun damage

4) Avocado oil is loaded with chlorophyll – a natural source of magnesium which helps detoxify the body.

5) Reduces inflammation and itching and can help ease cracked heels, sunburn, and eczema 

We need to start reaching for healthier more natural options and rid ourselves of toxins and chemicals which will make us not only look good but feel good too! Our bodies will thank us!

7 Tips to keep your skin soft and looking fabulous during the Winter January 18, 2018 15:23

1) Avoid taking hot baths that are too long as the hot water steals moisture from your skin. But that doesn't mean you have to avoid your tranquil hot bath. Just add a few    drops of some avocado oil or almond oil mixed with a drop of an essential oil to add some    moisture and a bit of aroma.  (Just be careful getting out of tub as they can make it slippery)

2) Apply lotion after taking a bath or shower to lock moisture back in your skin.

3) Even though the temps are cold, you still need to moisturize from the inside by staying hydrated with water or if you're like me...green tea.

4) Add some lemon: When you wake up, add some lemon to warm or room temperature water. Citrus, such as lemons, has been shown to help keep skin clear and moisturized as well as help fighting off the cold and flu as it's packed with vitamin C.

5) Exfoliate: The moisture can't get through dead skin cells so you need to get rid of it.  Weekly exfoliating helps keep skin smooth.

6) Extra Over Night Moisturizing: Slather extra lotion on hands, feet and elbows before bed. Those areas have thinner skin and loose moisture faster.

7) Wear Chap Stick!  Apply chap stick before bed and under your lipstick before going out  to keep lips smooth and avoid cracking.

A Necklace, A Scarf and the Perfect Nude Lip December 15, 2017 19:09

The season of scarves! Yes, you see snow on the ground, that's from our second snowfall and today we had our third snowfall in less than a week. It sure feels like Christmas and Winter here in New Jersey. I paired this beautiful scarf that has a blend of shimmering warm shades with the Morganite Necklace. A chunk of natural gorgeous Morganite, the stone of divine love.

Scarves and necklaces pair really well together. Some may think you can't wear both, but you can mix them and create fun Winter styles. The scarf gives a pop of color (as well as functionality of keeping warm) and the necklace adds some sparkle.  I also mixed two of my favorite lipsticks Loreal Sandstone #810 and Matte Finish Caron #800 creating the perfect nude lip to complete this warm look.

Have fun creating your scarf and necklace looks and feel free to share them with us on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
