Oh this mask is lovely and couldn’t have possible come at a better time!

It has been a very busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend and I am ready for some rest and relaxation from all the fun having!

This mask is soft, relaxing, comforting to the skin and has a light aromatherapy scent to it.

I applied a light coat on my face and neck and just laid back as my skin drank in the mask. My skin looked firmer after wards? Or maybe it was the short nap?

Now I have used it once and plan to apply at least two more times consecutively to give the mask a chance to work deeply on me.

It’s a visible instant lift mask that tones and relaxes skin witha reduction of expression lines and a profoudn reoxygenation of the tissues. Or so Comfort Zone says…if I had some dermacyte oxygenating serum left I could really be lifted!

I liked it and think that the Comfort Zone Glorious Skin Visible Lifting Tensor Mask would make a great holiday stocking stuffer, gift under the tree or menorah and just good to have in your beauty routine at home in case you need it to refresh your look after all the parties and shopping and ho ho ho’ing!

Oh hello my friends! On Thanksgiving we found a new snack! Popcorn Indiana!

Oh the goodness! The cruncy salty blend of flavors!

I love going to the movie and having theatre popcorn.

We just saw Tangled and it was so funny and amazing!

Though I bet it could have been been better if I had smuggled in a bag of Popcorn Indiana into the show.

My blog assistant and I tasted the smoked cheddar cheese flavor but there is also:

-aged white cheddar

-chili con queso ( I think that is next for me!)

-sea salt

-caramel

-kettlecorn and movie theatre flavors!

Your Beauty CliffsNotes

These easy, trusty tips will have you covered day and night all through fall

This is a TotalBeauty.com beauty tips article Here are some autumn skin care suggestions as well as seasonal day and night makeup looks. Read cheat sheet

Hello Black Friday! I’m currently out on assignment and the “interns” Shadrach & Abednego are in charge of the studio!
Remember today only you can get a $10 haircut at any Arizona Hair Co salon! Go see Star Flores at the Tempe Marketplace salon for some awesome holiday style! (http://www.arizonahairco.com/ to find a salon near you!)

Speaking of style, a Kardashian inspired pony tail is perfect to be shopping the Black Friday sales in.

The brush from Goody is perfect for pulling hair into a ponytail! I’m doing a simple full crown pony, securing it with a Goody satin covered rubber band and then back brushing the tail for

added volume.

The Kardashian pony is easy: simply back brush the crown of the head closest to wear you are going to secure the pony tail. The Goody brush I am using has a natural wood handle so it’s eco-friendly and also the tourmaline infused boar bristles are gentle on hair and scalp.

Now with the crown full, use the brush to lightly push the remaining hair into a pony-I prefer mine high on the crown.

I like to leave the bump and fullness at the top of the pony and pull some of the hair forward from the rubber band once it’s secured which makes kind of a messy styled pony.

I finish my Kardashian pony with back brushing the tail to make it full. I give a light coat of hairspray and I am ready!

The Goody brush I’m using is part of the Signature Satin collection and can be found at Walmart, Target, and just about any drugstore that sells Goody products!

I hope you are having an awesome Black Friday filling up on gifts for loved ones!

Meet Krigler New York City and the line of hand crafted scents that are both unique and worldly.
I love finding a new scent!
I just experienced the Extraordinaire Camelia and it’s rich and subtle, what you could call a soft scent.
It starts out floral and dries down to a rich musky orange. Or at least on my skin it does!

Extraordinaire Camelia 209 gathers two sorts of Camellias flowers, corsican lemon, pink peppercorn from florida, indian cardamom, Bourbon Vanilla, Musc de Baur, Cedar, Chinese Tea. In the flower’s language, Camellia symbolises excellence, pride, abnegation and modesty. To offer Extraordinaire Camelia 209 means to declare the perfect love, to recognize an ideal relationship.

I realize that the TSA has made it impossible to fly anywhere these days unless you like pedophiles sexually harrassing you and your children or you don’t mind lethal doses of radiation while going through scanners that show you as naked as the day you were born.

No worries! You can still achieve an amazing holiday tan just like you had been on vacation in the tropics! Just look like you’ve been to Hawaii and the Carribbean by using FAKE BAKE!

So Thanksgiving turkeys aren’t the only things getting golden brown this week!

Oh you will love this system! P.S. that is the secret, it’s a system!

I know, you and I both have tried nearly every product out there but until I got a tanning system
I only had so-so results!
The best thing about FAKE BAKE is that the color comes out a golden brown! I put a wide stripe on my ever so white belly and it cured with in minutes of applying and showed up a dark golden brown.

If you are going to school reunions, Thanksgiving dinners, holiday parties or just need to get a fresh look to boost your self confidence in this very busy holiday season, I recommend getting the FAKE BAKE tanning system. You will need:

Body Polish-this smooths the skin prio to self tanning and is moisturizing too!

Oil Free Moisturizer-before applying your FAKE BAKE self tanner get superb hydration and smoothing of the skin

Self Tanning Lotion-technolody that delivers a deeper darker long lasting tan. The color guide of the creme makes it easy to know where you have applied and it literally is streak free. I would tell you if I had a stripey belly but I don’t!

For easy shopping for yourself, a stocking stuffer or the ultimate office party gift get the self tanning tri-pak for best results! www.fakebake.com

EZ Sox came to the blog specifically for Mancub to test and write about. Since he has the
vocabulary akin to Dr. Seuss we decided on a video instead.

My kid is always peeved that boxes arrive daily for the blog but none of them are ever for him! That is until today!

EZ Sox are ingenious for little ones learning how to put their socks on by themselves. The young ones are always so eager to do it themselves and be “big” or grown up. The EZ Sox is simple: use the rope pulleys to pull the sock on and a kid knows they are on right because the face goes on the top of the foot! Easy! Don’t believe me? Watch this short video of Mancub in action wearing his EZ Sox in Froggy green!
