Burn More Fat The Easy Way

See 11 easy ways to trim a few more calories from your diet without depriving yourself

This is a TotalBeauty.com weight loss diets article Do the new diet fads seem as cruel and unusual to you as they do to us? We figured there has to be a better, healthier way to shed a few pounds for the holidays — and there is! See the 11 easy ways to burn more calories (no point-counting or weird fat calculator necessary). See tricks

Hello Gorgeous!
Happy Hanukkah continues and Merry Christmas is almost here!
I’ve got a short how to video to get the look of the lead character Marlena played by Reese Witherspoon.
I think the look lends wonderfully to a candlelight service for Christmas! And stay tuned because there is a New Year’s Eve look coming up shortly using more Avon products.

Products used:
Foundation: Avon Everlasting
Blush: Borghese Spectra
Eyeshadow: Avon Textured Teal quad
Eyeliner: Avon Glimmer Stick in G07 black ice
Eyeliner: Avon Professional Eye Smokifier in very black *whoa-you need to get this!
Mascara: Avon Super Extend mascara in black
Lips: Avon super shock lipgloss in melon *whoa-you really need to get this!

I do like the shadows, but find they are not high pigmented so you may need to layer a few applications to get a deeper tone on the eye.

The 2 stand out favorites of all the products I tried are the Smokifier-wow, that’s a new and good product, and the huge lip gloss called super shock. Get it!

Special thanks to Avon for sharing these beautiful cosmetics with me-and farewell and thank you to Avon CEO Andrea Jung for all the years of service to a cosmetic company that helps build up women based business!

Hey Gorgeous!
Christmas is almost here! Did you get your stocking stuffer yet or do you need to give a hint for what you want?

This new fragrance I have tried might be a fit for your stocking! I love fragrance, and have tried many and this sample is intriguing!

It’s may remind you of another natural and organic scent from another brand, but what makes this one different is the small, hand crafted batching to create it.

The top note is Bergamot and Lime
Middle: Rose, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang
Base: Tobacco Absolue, Fir Absolue and Green Cognac

Enjoy the short video review and below are more details on the fragrance. You can get yours by visiting http://www.clairvoyantbeauty.com

###

Clairvoyant, our wild-crafted natural fragrance, invites you to see beyond the range of ordinary perception and celebrates the mystery of being a woman. Crisp floral-green top notes of bergamot and lime leads you into an exploration. Bulgarian rose middle notes blend with jasmine and ylang ylang to relax the senses and enhance your own natural harmony and beauty. Warm, lush, inviting base notes of tobacco, fir and green cognac suggest a subtle sexiness…the mystery and possibility of being a Clairvoyant woman.

Designed to be layered to achieve the level of scent desired – or used with other fragrances within a woman’s scent wardrobe – this pure fragrance features a 100 percent natural formulation down its base of organic corn alcohol.

About L’Occitane Limited Edition Shea Butter Body Creams

Bogolan packaging designs inspired by traditional fabrics…

The traditional bogolan fabric is decorated with patterns specific to
each village, designating where it was made. Bogolan cloth is dyed with
mud, which is said to give the fabric positive energy. These beautiful
fabrics inspired L’OCCITANE’s founder, Olivier Baussan, as he
designed the limited-edition packaging of this Shea Butter collection.

Enticing Autumn Scents inspired by African flowers…
For these limited editions, available in body cream, hand cream and lip balm,
L’OCCITANE drew inspiration from three flowers indigenous to the African
continent.
DESERT ROSE FROM MOROCCO is known for its generous blooms and
fruity, zesty aroma, which perfumes the desolate landscape.
HIBISCUS FROM EGYPT delights the eyes with its brilliant colors — from the
purest white to the most passionate red. Its sensual, sunny perfume awakens
the senses.
COCOA FLOWER FROM THE IVORY COAST has a warm, comforting
scent with a delicious hint of cacao.
Made with ECOCERT -Certified
organic, Fa ir Trade shea butter
from burkina faso

Hello Gorgeous,
Enjoy your Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day-thank a veteran when you see them!
Now-there is strange and extreme cold weather in Arizona right now-in fact, I can see snow on the mountains and that view is from Phoenix!
I’ve been testing my samples of Fix My Skin healing skin products on myself and my son, and so far so good. Now, what I’m really thinking is I need to pack these with me on snowboard trips because the extreme weather always makes for a dry, chapped, cracked cuticle, lip and knuckle!
To really do this product justice-I think you need to enjoy the full story from their website-go meet Danielle Schlessinger!

7 Celebrities Who NEED a Hairstyle Revamp

We think it’s time for some of these celebrities to let go of their iconic ‘dos and try a new look

This is a TotalBeauty.com celebrity hairstyles article In the interest of embarking on new beginnings for 2011, we’d like to (gently) suggest that a certain few A-listers should step out of the past and grab hold of a bold new look. Check out the virtual makeovers we gave them to prove that a new style would look great on them. See hair makeovers

Oh hello gorgeous! I’m getting ready for the most merry Christmas ever! Oh how I love Christmas eve and all the joy and miracles it brings!

Woo hoo! Good thing I am prepping my skin now with an Iroha mask!

It gives a very similiar effect as a salon facial

and is relaxing and rejuvenating to the skin. The Iroha masks are made in a non-woven tissue to facilitate water evaporation and a faster absorption of all actives so when I pull this thing off I’m expecting the skin of a 12 year old!

Now visit the website to learn about the many varieties of the tissue masks and also about the gel eye patches. I swear, it’s my favorite and I find the best eye treatment for anti-aging is to regularly use an under eye patch.

Don’t believe me? Get some and try it! Go here for more information: http://www.irohamasks.com
