What Your Guy Actually Notices About Your Looks

This is a TotalBeauty.com beauty tips article When it comes to beauty, what's worth spending precious time on in preparation for a big date and what isn't? We asked Editor-in-Chief of ModernMan.com to find out what a dude really notices. Get tips

Hello gorgeous, please read, implement with blue and pass on. Thank you!

When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport, Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac. During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport, Major Steve Beck described the scene as so powerful:
'See the people in the windows? They sat right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home,' he said 'They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home.
And they should've.

The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. 'I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it,' she said. 'I think that's what he would have wanted'

PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING!
Blue Fridays.
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers we are not organized, boisterous or overbearing. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something blue. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of blue much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in BLUE and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is. 'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.
*note from me, Cherelynn-I think this story and simple request is really really beautiful and I will be in my BLUE today! How about you?

Harmonic shampoo/conditioner & de-stress roller for pressure points

Do You Remember When These Celebrities Dated?

Take a walk with us down Hollywood's memory lane and see which A-listers were once paired up -- and which natural beauty features are their "type"

This is a TotalBeauty.com natural beauty article Being a celebrity is a lot like being in the "it crowd" in high school -- these people seriously only go out with each other. Take a gander at these former flames and you'll realize how closely knit that inner sanctum or celebrity "couples' circle" really is. So, what do you say? Are you up for a quick round of a little game we like to call, What's Their Type? See celeb couples

Hello gorgeous!

While away on a holiday weekend I took my samples of Harmonic shampoo, conditioner and the De-stress roller ball aromatherapy treatment made by Intelligent Nutrients.

Oh these were so good and so useful! The shampoo is hydrating, safe for color and pairs well with the conditioner. There are no silicones, PEG, sulfates or yucky stuff in these products.

The aromatherapy is very relaxing and the De-stress treatment after is excellent for travel. If you are a bride-you need this! If you are on holiday in a blizzard, you need this! When using the shampoo and conditioner I got a good lather, my hair felt clean, and conditioner left my hair smooth, shiny and healthy looking.

The best part is the De-stress treatment: it's a large glass vial of aromatherapy treatment to use as a tool for pressure points on your scalp or ears or wherever! It's made of organic oils When sitting on the freeway snowed in by a blizzard - it was great to have the De-stress treatment close by to apply on my scalp pressure points. Plus-it made the car smell better! Try some and learn more by visiting: http://www.intelligentnutrients.com

Maybelline Colossal waterproof mascara-good-maybe too good?

New Products Alert: Anti-Aging Goods

Short of building your own time machine, these anti-aging technologies are the newest innovations in fighting those stubborn lines

This is a TotalBeauty.com anti-aging skin care article When meeting a certain age (which shall remain numberless), time becomes the enemy. But, that doesn't mean you can't fight back. To help you in your war, we're here to share the latest anti-aging innovations. See products

Hello gorgeous!

Look closely into the powder filled land and play "I spy with my little eye" for the yellow tube of mascara.

That yellow tube is Maybelline Colossal mascara in waterproof formula.

Why is it in the snow you ask? Because I just

got back from snowboarding in what was the closest thing to a blizzard that northern Arizona has seen! On Saturday morning I put on my 'snowboarding' makeup and thought that now is a good time to test a waterproof mascara because I'm going to need one for the Ironman in Kona this June.
Wow am I ever impressed. It goes on smooth, dries feathery not clumpy and looks natural. I rode for 6 hours in blizzard like conditions, cried once, and was fairly sweaty. After all of that, at the end of the night when taking off my makeup this mascara looked fresh.
Now here is the challenge-after using my makeup remover, Maybelline Colossal in waterproof was still on. I washed my face using bar soap and a washcloth, and it's still on. In the morning, I use the cotton pad and remover again-still on. When I got home after a very stressful drive through the blizzard home I washed my face again-and Maybelline Colossal in waterproof was still on! I used the Beauty Fixation eye makeup remover swab to rub each lash and guess what? Maybelline Colossal in waterproof was still on as I went to bed.
It's been four days and when I awoke in the morning-remnants of Maybelline Colossal in waterproof is still on my lashes.
So, does it work? Yes. Maybe a bit too good! Am I wearing this to the Ironman in Kona-you betcha!

Burt Bee's new tinted lip balm-just what natural makeup should look like

Nicole Kidman's Stick Straight Hair vs. a Voluminous Blowout -- Which Do You Prefer?

The A-list actress traded in her usual straight hair for some voluminous waves. Do you like it?

This is a TotalBeauty.com celebrity hairstyles article New mommy Nicole was sporting a trendy "voluminous blow out" -- meaning that her hair was lifted at the roots and locked into place. Prefer it over her sleeker look at last year's "Nine" premiere? Weigh in

Well hello gorgeous!

I continue the snowboard trip saga here in snowy, yes, snowy Flagstaff. Ok, now there seems to be a bit too much snow. Cie la vie says me!

I will post photos soon-because I am testing

several products here in the high altitude such as the Maybelline waterproof mascara-to see how it holds up under snowboarding. Also, the rice oil face cleanser-lets see how it does with sun/wind/snow chapped skin! And, these new tinted lip balms from Burts Bees.

They are bigger than the old version and so far, wear superior to the old version. If you tried those you know what I am talking about-the product would slide on your slips and then form big sticky protusions that could only be brushed off with a tooth brush.

This Burts Bees tinted lip balm is more like a colored conditioner. The color is very very light. In fact, in the photo I am wearing the deep red tone and it doesn't look much different than my natural lip color. I tested two tones: the Red Dahlia and Honeysuckle. Both feel great, but neither leave a lasting tint to the lip. So, as for a gal who likes a bold color-it doesn't give that. But, if you are a gal who prefers a very natural look, this is the product for you. It has spf, feels good on the lips and adds moisture. You can get them at any mass retailer or natural food store and they are just $5.99. Enjoy!

Your Skin Care Personality

See what essential products your skin care regimen is lacking

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care article How does your skin care routine stack up? And, what does it say about your personality? Answer these nine questions to find out. Take quiz

Well hello gorgeous! Today I write to you from the beginning of the holiday weekend in Flagstaff Arizona! My family is here for a snowboarding weekend and guess what-as of right now, there is no snow. So please join with me in prayer as I pray in snow!

Also, you can see in the photo that I am applying my eyecream. Or is it thick rich face creme? Ok, I admit-I get a lovely assortment of products to try daily. This little tub of Lancome arrived and I began using it. It came with no instructions or note from the company-just a lovely little tub of thick cream on the bottom with a twist top that opens up into a light emulsion that resembles a concealer. So I"m not sure if it's eye cream with concealer or face cream with foundation. Doesn't matter because either way I love it!

I am an Independent Beachbody Coach. If you’re looking for someone to help you on your fitness and/or weight loss journey, I can coach you for FREE. If you’d like to help change lives by becoming an Independent Beachbody coach, click here for more information.

Don’t sign up yet, contact me first, so we can see if this opportunity is right for you!

If you would like me to coach you for FREE it’s easy, just click here to sign up! I would love to connect, help support, and be there for you.

Here are my “before” and current pics. My weight was at 177 pounds and I was wearing size 16 when I began in Feb 2010. Why would I post these pictures that I didn’t even want my husband to see? Because I want to connect with you.

I want you to see that I know what it is like to be out of shape. I know what it’s like to find nothing in my closet that fits or looks good on me. I know what it is like to feel hopeless. I know what it is like to say every night “tomorrow I will eat healthy and workout” only to find myself going around the mountain yet again doing the exact same thing- eating for emotional reasons and feeling too tired to workout. Crying when no one was around because I was so desperate for help.

So far I’ve lost 37 pounds and 38 inches. I currently weigh 140 and wear a size 8. I am still on my fitness journey. I began exercising with The Brazil Butt Lift Workout. I am not at my goal yet. I am now beginning P90X which I am crazy excited about! What I love about Beachbody is the support they offer keeps me on track with my fitness goals. Having someone there to help you through the hard times makes all the difference. That’s what the Beachbody coaching oportunity is about. You don’t have to be a fitness expert, you just need a heart to help people! I am so thankful to God for answering my prayers and giving me strength and direction to finally stop the horrible cycle of eating for the wrong reasons and finally being consistent on getting the exercise that I need. I’m not perfect but even the small steps add up.

My heart is to reach out to others just like you, many of us are so busy we neglect our selves. This is why I became a Beachbody coach. I can now offer hope and support to others, just like you, so YOU will be successful. I can help you get in the best shape of your life. You can wake up with a smile on your face knowing it is going to be another great day regardless of your situation and circumstances. You can finally feel alive again living each day with purpose and excitement. Being a Beachbody coach is amazing because you don’t have to be a fitness expert you just have to have a heart to reach out and help people. You don’t have to be in shape either, you just need to be on the path. Being a coach is so rewarding. You get to encourage others while they get in shape and you make money at the same time. It’s an amazing opportunity.

I am customer of Beachbody, but I also make money as an Authorized Distributer. I automatically become your coach when you make a purchase from my website. I also make a commission when you purchase from me, which is the way BeachBody helps compensate me for the time I spend coaching customers like yourself. So please be sure to order from me. Thank you so much in advance for your consideration.
