How To Use Hydralyte for Labor Day Weekend Recovery and Rescue


 Hi ya Gorgeous!

Welcome to Work It Out Wednesdays!  I'm going to focus Wednesday's on problem solving and solution oriented posts to help you!



 Today, I have an answer to dehydration caused from vomiting, diarrhea and over exertion!
I have received these samples in preparation for the annual girls trip to Las Vegas for Labor Day Weekend  due to past experience of what a moms gone wild trip can be like.

There has been tragedy abound and each and everyone of us gals has suffered a major blow in life!  Alas, we are not making the trip this year!


Though here are the details on Hydralyte and instead of me sipping in  Las Vegas I will be enjoying here in the extreme heat of Arizona. How extreme? Well, at the local airport,the overnight temperature was 131. Holy smokes!

Now meet Hydralyte:  this product has vastly improved on oral hydration therapy making Pedialyte and Gatorade pale in comparison.

Hydralyte is scientifically formulated to contain the correct balance of glucose and electrolytes for rapid rehydration. The formulation is based on the World Health Organization criteria for effective rehydration.
Hydralyte:
  • Contains the correct balance of sodium and glucose to activate the sodium and glucose co-transporter
  • Is hypotonic which is the most rapidly absorbed fluid type for rehydration of body cells
  • Contains up to 75% less sugar and 4X more electrolytes than the leading sports drinks

How to Use Heal Fast Skincare to Compliment Microneedling

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday to you!
Wow, was this ever an action packed weekend with the Mayweather vs McGregor fight, then the MTV VMA's and my son's birthday - and the week ahead will be too!

I recently started an at home microneedling regime and have switched from my normal skincare to the HealFast brand and there ovasome technology infused cremes.


I'm doing a microneedling treatment twice a week at night and then using the Heal Fast face creme and eye cream. The goal is to  soften and retexturize my sun damaged skin which lately appears leathery and I'm pretty darn sure it's from all of the sun lately!



 These are the 3 key tools: from left to right - the Heal Fast day creme, then the pink tone is the night creme and then the clear serum is a facial mask for retexturizing skin.

The eye creme is light and rich and as I was taking a photo to demo it for you I almost dropped my camera and you can see the beginning of a holler!

I also have the Heal Fast egg cream wash and I love how gentle it is but thorough in cleaning off all of  my makeup.  I have a sample of their cellulite cream and I have used it once and liked the light texture, tingly feel and rapid absorption, but I don't really have cellulite so I'm thinking that is why I regularly forget to use it. More on that later ...

Night cream  http://amzn.to/2wNjjW1
Cream cleanser http://amzn.to/2wjxAXL
 Ovasome facial peel  http://amzn.to/2xHtAQ0


The entire reason to use HealFast skincare is their proprietary technology, called Ovasome.
HealFast SkinCare™ is based on a proprietary process called Ovasome Technology™ . Basically it’s the process of incorporating eggs into topical skin care products. As simple as it sounds Ovasome Technology™ took years to fully develop. You’re probably thinking, why can’t I just crack an egg and rub it on my skin? The main reason is because the eggs molecular structure is too large to penetrate the skin and you would receive little benefit from this application.
With Ovasome Technology™ we can effectively incorporate whole egg into topical creams, lotions and serums so all the nutritional content remains active. By using this technique your skin benefits from over 70 natural vitamins, minerals and proteins.
Ovasome Technology™ is a unique scientific breakthrough and is exclusive to HealFast SkinCare™.

2017 VMA's hosted by Katy Perry

Hello Sunday!
This special edition of Makeup University - on a Sunday, not a Monday is to give a shout out of encouragement to Katy Perry - you go girl! You got this!


I'm not watching the VMA's tonight because I find that it is all on Twitter and Youtube anyhow that I can save some time by not watching live.

Oh, that and my new found hobby of reading and watching Game of Thrones. It took me a long time to get into this and now that I am, I love it!  I think I like it because it has a bit of Camelot and a touch of Lord of the Rings to it?

So while I enjoy that, you enjoy this video I made for last year's MTV Video Music Awards!

OLD WIVES’S TALES ABOUT DIET AND WEIGHT LOSS

Hi ya Gorgeous,
In this season of transition as I am moving into full time film making and part time blogging - I post on Mondays. But! This guest post of information on dieting is so good, I needed to share now. Enjoy!




An estimated 45 million Americans go on a diet each year, and Americans spend $33 billion each year on weight loss products. Yet, nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. With all of this money expended, why are so many people unable to lose weight?   

Dr. Christopher Calapai is, a New York City Osteopathic Physician board certified in family and anti-aging medicine. He says that, “People are dealing with dieting information overload. It is hard to know what is sound weight loss advice and what is a myth.”   He sets the record straight on some of our most commonly held diet and weight loss myths.

You can eat whatever you want if you workout
Unfortunately, a half hour on the treadmill isn’t going to help you lose weight if you reward yourself by downing a few slices of cake and an order of French fries. The treadmill told you that you burned off 500 calories, but those estimated machine readouts are not always accurate.  It’s near impossible to out-exercise a bad diet unless you plan to spend half your day in the gym. You must workout and eat smart to see results.

Organic food is diet food.
The word organic is enticing, but it’s also misleading. Organic means a food is grown without pesticides or other chemicals and is not genetically modified. But it says absolutely nothing about the nutrient value of the food itself, or whether it’s a good dietary choice, or whether it has excessive fat, sugar, or starch. Organic sugar is still sugar. Organic white flour is still white flour. Organic butter is still butter and organic lard is still lard.

You Can Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks.
You probably can lose 10 pounds in two weeks if you crash-diet, but that pace is rarely sustainable.  Most of the weight will return once you start eating normally. To truly lose 1 pound, you need to “eliminate” 3,500 calories—the amount stored in a pound of fat—by eating less and moving more. If you cut 500 calories (or cut 300 and burn 200 through exercise) every single day of the week, you’ll lose about a pound a week. And that’s real weight loss.

Cleanses and detoxes are a good way to jump-start a diet.

Nobody needs to detox.
Unless you've been poisoned, you have a built-in, super-efficient system for filtering out most of the harmful substances you eat. It's made up of two toxin-bashing organs: the liver and the kidneys. Our kidneys filter our blood and remove any waste from our diet, and our livers process medications and detoxify any chemicals we ingest. Paired together, these organs make our bodies natural cleansing powerhouses.


You can’t eat after 8pm
It doesn't matter what time of day you eat. It is what and how much you eat and how much physical activity you do during the whole day that determines whether you gain, lose, or maintain your weight. No matter when you eat, your body will store extra calories as fat. If you want a snack before bedtime, think first about how many calories you've eaten that day.

You must keep your blood sugar topped up, and eat little and often to achieve it

 This is one of the least accurate bits of advice. Every time you eat a carbohydrate, and your blood glucose levels rise, the body needs to release a substance called insulin (from the pancreas) to return your blood glucose levels to normal. Any “topping up” simply places a demand on the body to get the blood glucose levels back down again. This might be the  reason for the explosion in type 2 diabetes – the body is asked to release insulin too much, too often and has no way of recognizing some of the foreign substances we consume in modern man-made food.


Wait Until You're Hungry to Eat.
Myth!: By waiting to eat until you're very hungry, your hunger simply builds and builds until it's all consuming, causing your appetite to spiral out of control. In fact, new research reveals that by skipping breakfast, you'll end up eating more calories in total and making less healthy food choices throughout the day than you would have otherwise. Research also shows that forgoing breakfast activates your body's insulin response, triggering fat storage and weight gain.

FACE atelier Ultra Skin - My Review

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Say hello and welcome to the month of August! This year, 2017, is now officially more than half over and Christmas is only 146 days away.

 With that in mind and upcoming holiday events and photos - it may be time to try a new face product, so meet FACE atelier Ultra skin foundation.

 Many many thanks to them for sending me a sample in the color 6.  I love the lightweight feel and  texture. The finish is beautiful and dries down to a soft powder that can be built up from sheer to full coverage. I really like the look and  feel, though, I experienced a series of pimples and breakouts along my lower cheeks and jawline.

Gack! I really like the product but won't be able to continue using it because it took a full week to heal the breakout and I had to work like crazy during that time and I can't risk another breakout. I know for me, when I saw that the silicone was a major ingredient in this PETA approved product, I knew right then that I was risking a pimple or two.

It's worth a try, and a sample can be purchased from their website so you can try it before committing to the $50.00 full size price.



Meet Ultra Skin - the ultimate lightweight foundation!  Its silicone-based formula perfects the skin with a long-lasting satin finish with light to medium buildable coverage. The creamy, soufflé-like texture produces an airbrush-like result and is perfect if you want a foundation that can be applied like a moisturizer without compromising performance.  Ultra Skin's 11 shades cover the lightest to richest complexions and are color-matched to award-winning Ultra Foundation. There are three new shades - .5, 8.5,11.5 – that can be also used to adjust Ultra Foundation shades.
No primer needed!  It's built into Ultra Skin's sophisticated formula that also has soft-focus properties, diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The flawless, satin finish doesn't need powder to set and thanks to the silicone-based formula, it's ideal for mature, troubled or sensitive skin. Read more about silicones.
Ultra Skin works in perfect harmony with the FACE atelier’s complete complexion range, including Ultra Foundation’s beloved adjusters: 0-, 0+, 0++ and Heat. The pump applicator and tube make it perfect for travel or a pro kit. Suitable for all skin types, water and sebum resistant Ultra Skin performs brilliantly in hot, humid and arid climates.
