Hello Gorgeous-I interupt this TEEN WEEK with a special bulletin about Topricin for pain relief that does not have parabens, petrolatum or other harmful ingredients.
I recently went to the Sunsplash waterpark here in Mesa and had a lovely and thrilling time. Although, in the midst of all that good timing, I hurt my neck and shoulders from carrying the massive 4 man tube up 4 flights of stairs so that Mancub and I could launch ourselves into a large toilet bowl shaped slide-backwards in the. All in the name of a good time!
So when I got in, I tried my sample of Topricin and was really pleased at the lack of smell, the rapid absorption and the quick pain relief. It also comes in a junior formula for our kids to have safe pain relief and arthritis, and many more formulas.
Go see the website and the video from founder and product creator Lou Paradise. Okay...now back to TEEN WEEK!

TEEN WEEK-swimming hair care with Nunaat Silicon deep moisture and repairing hair care

5 Best Summer Hairstyles

Hair extraordinaire Charles Baker Strahan answers reader questions on styling hair in the summer

This is a TotalBeauty.com hairstyles article

As temperatures start to rise, it gets harder to keep hair cool and coiffed. So Strahan gives us tips to beat the heat while still looking great.

Get tips

Hello Sweet Teens!
I hope you are having the best summer ever! Today's TEEN WEEK focus is on your hair. It is a good idea to take extra care of your hair in the summer because you are in the direct sun more, most likely in the pool, at the beach and in my case at the Sunsplash waterpark in Mesa, AZ.

The extreme heat of summer will dry out your hair and fast too! Remember to deep condition once a week. As you will see in the video-applying conditioner to the ends of your hair before you get in the chlorine water will help spare your hair more damage.

I have been enjoying the Nunaat Silicon line of products this summer and they have been helping keep my red tinted hair, red-while I'm still swimming daily.

TEEN WEEK-1st runner up 2007 Miss Teen USA is now Miss USA Alyssa Campanello! Neutrogena can get you there!

10 Trendy Summer Hairstyles

See the hottest styles that will actually stay put when the temperature starts to rise

This is a TotalBeauty.com hairstyles article After spending 20 minutes perfecting every curl and smoothing down each strand, you step outside to greet the summer breeze -- and your cute hairstyle suddenly poufs into a frizzy mess. Sound familiar? To make sure your hairstyle can stand up to the heat, see these frizz-fighting looks now. Get how-tos

Hello gorgeous teens! Welcome to TEEN WEEK on Makeup University!
This week is all about teen beauty! Teen hair! Teen skin! Teen health and most importantly encouraging the teen gal in just how beautiful, perfect and valuable she is!

See, this photo on the left is the lovely teen Alyssa Campanello.
Here she is competing in the Miss Teen USA competition.
She has shiny hair, clear skin, and beautiful makeup!



I have a few product recommendations that can help you, the lovely teen at home get your Miss Teen USA look started.
Eating healthy is the best place to start and drinking lots of water! Ease up on the fried foods and soda pop to help have clear skin! If you do have some body blemishes-and to help skin stay exfoliated try Body Clear by Neutrogena.


Clear skin can take your makeup look places that you want to go! It's really important to protect your skin from sun damage because it causes premature aging, wrinkles, and age spots.
Try a one, two punch of protection and beauty with Neutrogena Ultra Sheer liquid sunblock in spf 55 which layers invisibly under makeup. It's weightless and waterproof!
Then, put some smooth, even coverage on in makeup with the creme compact of Healthy Skin by Neutrogena which also has spf 55 helioplex the broad spectrum uva-uvb sunscreen.

You can keep your head and hair crown ready by adding a clarifiying shampoo twice a month to your normal hair care like Neutrogena's anti-residue shampoo.
Now, look at the photo on the left? Recognize her? That is former 2007 Miss Teen USA 1st runner up Alyssa Campanello. Now she is the current reigning Miss USA.
See! Dreams really do come true! Plan your work and work your plans. Dream bigger than you already are! There is nothing impossible to you who believes! I believe in your dreams too! Share your thoughts in the comments section! I'de love to hear what you are dreamin' up for yourself!

Get ready because all week long I am celebrating teens!
This week the blog is focusing on teen:
skin, makeup, hair, style and health!

So I am happy to be jump starting TEEN WEEK with Proactiv! The 3 step system is amazing for clearing up
blemishes and acne fussy skin.
It's working right now for celebrities Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, plus my model in these photos!

Acne can be caused by a hormonal imbalance and that goes for both girls and guys.

That's why around your T.O.M. (time of the month) your skin breaks out more than normal.

In the first picture-Ms. Model has a few breakouts and begins using the 3 Step System by Proactive.
In the second picture, it's only been one day and already the redness is fading and the swelling has gone down considerably.
I was so impressed by the product! Here's a little bit more about Proactive from their website on how Proactiv® works

"The acne cycle starts invisibly, below the skin's surface, weeks before a blemish breaks out. That's why Proactiv is designed to attack acne "proactively"—delivering the right combination of medicines and skin-care agents, in the right order and concentrations, to help control the acne cycle before breakouts occur. If you have acne, Proactiv is the key to a clear complexion."
You can order the products online from their website, they are regularly featured on QVC (http://www.qvc.com/) and I've seen mall kiosks that sell it. So, get started today and feel better about your skin and yourself!

Hello sweet gorgeous friends! June is national acne month-or so I just found out! And in honor of it, Proactiv has sent over this lovely bit of information which I am going to share with you in honor of TEEN WEEK officially starting tomorrow!
Enjoy!

Did you know… 25% of all men and 50% of all women suffer from adult acne?
DAY 1: PIMPLE EMERGENCY!
Here’s everything you will need for the dreaded “Pimple Emergency!” Along with the above products, new and current Proactiv customers will now have access to a new program called Proactiv365. This program gives customers 24 hour access to trained skincare advisors who can help them manage their needs, give advice and help them manage any “emergencies” along the way.
We are thrilled to offer you “concierge access,” to this great service. Please feel free to reach out to me to receive a customized access number, if interested.
Proactiv Advanced Blemish Treatment: This handy, invisible, throw-it-in-your-purse is an emergency dose of the powerful anti-acne ingredient, benzoyl peroxide. Dab it on to start killing acne and bacteria on contact.

Proactiv Concealer Plus: Last minute zits are instantly hidden with this powerful concealer. With a concentrated dose of antibacterial sulfur, the zit will be gone in no time.

DAY 2: STRESS TEST


Just in time to pass any stress test, use these Proactiv products before your next meeting and no one will see you sweat - then enjoy a soothing cup of chamomile tea to fully unwind.

Proactiv Daily Oil Control: You know the drill – you put makeup on in the morning but after running around the office for a few hours, your face seems to be shiny again. Daily Oil Control is one invisible, thin layer that controls facial oil and keeps makeup exactly where you put it.

Proactiv Oil Blotter Sheets: Perfect for oily skin or for those hot summer days. The Oil Blotter Sheets are 100% natural fiber papers that leave your face feeling fresh and clean – no talc, no artificial ingredients and no clogged pores!


DAY 3: CELEBRITY FAVORITES

Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne and Justin Beiber – the uber popular musicians are only a few of the more than 40 Proactiv customers turned spokespeople.

Try out the celeb favorite products while you jam out to their greatest hits.

Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer: A favorite of Julianne Hough – This light, intensely hydrating moisturizer is rich in minerals and botanical extracts like green tea to help keep your skin soft and moisturized and designed specifically not to clog pores.

Proactiv Refining Mask: A favorite of Avril Lavigne –This beauty award winning (and customer favorite!) banishes zits and prevents new ones from forming with a powerful concentration of 6% antibacterial sulfur. The vitamin-enriched formula, that can be used as a mask OR a spot treatment, is designed to give you a brighter looking complexion with refined texture and smaller pores.

Proactiv Oil Free Moisture SPF 15: A favorite of Katy Perry – This three-in-one moisturizer hydrates the skin, absorbs excess oil and provides SPF 15 to help protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

Proactiv Medicated Cleansing Bar: A favorite of Justin Bieber – This Medicated Cleansing Bar, suitable for all skin types, is a soap-free cleansing treatment that works to gently wash away excess dirt, oil and other impurities on the skin. Boasting 1% salicylic acid and smooth, round micro-exfoliating beads that lift away dead skin cells, the Bar unclogs pores while clearing and preventing whiteheads, blackheads and future breakouts from forming.



DAY 4: THE START OF SUMMER

June isn’t just the month for Acne Awareness, it’s also the start of summer!

Above you’ll find must-haves for an upcoming vacay – your summer getaway beauty survival package.

Proactiv Makeup Cleansing Wipes: These gentle towelettes remove lipstick, foundation and even mascara in the blink of an eye. Each disposable wipe is pre-moistened with a nourishing soap-free cleanser that removes makeup completely off the face – without any water or rinsing!

Proactiv Daily Protection Plus Sunscreen SPF 30: Acne-prone skin can often have trouble in the sun, as most sunscreens clog pores and create breakouts! The lightweight, oil-free SPF 30 is designed specifically for acne-prone skin, won’t clog pores and vanishes instantly into the skin, leaving no sticky residue.

Proactiv Mini Maintenance Travel System: Besides being National Acne Awareness Month, June is also a popular month to travel, which is exactly why the travel-sized version of the Proactiv 3-Step System is a perfect way to keep your complexion clear this summer – perfect for your gym bag or purse as well!

Hello Gorgeous summer beauties!
Have you been out traveling? Or, like me-are you so busy and scheduled that when you leave the house in the morning you pack for 3 events in one day!
So, with all the activity I usually need to touch up my makeup more than once-enter, the make up matte by Katie Corl. She calls it the 'ideal hostess, shower or bridesmaid gift', but I call it the clean way to apply my makeup in a public space. The make up matte can be washed-so if you, like me, need to put it on the bathroom counter so you can spread out your makeup tools and products like a surgeon for quick and easy application- do it!
It's one of my insider makeup pro secrets-lay out your tools and products in a 'use by' order. Thay way you can work efficiently and neatly-plus keep track of what's been used.
I'm enjoying putting my daily touch up products and brushes in the make up matte and then rolling it up and stuffing it in the bag next to the snorkel, numchucks, clean eating lunches, sunscreen, cold waters and my daily fragrance bottle-whichever it is that day!

Ladies, check it out! It's fun and affordable and Katie Corl is right, this makes a great gift!

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article Between feeding the kids, dressing them and yourself, and checking your e-mails (and OK, your Facebook page), putting on makeup can be tough to squeeze in to your morning must-dos. These 6 simple steps will help you streamline your routine and make it look like you spent hours in front of your bathroom mirror. Get steps

Thank God it's Friday Gorgeous!
These 3 products are awesome and best of all easy to get-with 36 Walgreens locations in the greater Phoenix valley, you could have your skin in Dr. Lewinn today!
I've tried all three and here's my favorite parts about each:
1. The Under Eye Recovery ( silver tube) is light and silky, absorbs easily.
2. Skin Tone Perfecting serum xk-this is the treatment serum that you apply first and put your moisturizer over-it's soothing to the skin and holds up well under my makeup
3. Lip Resculpt 3-D, this one is my favorite! It's a lip sculpter, plumper and shiny gloss all in one!
These 3 items by Dr. Lewinn for Kinerase could be the defining summer skin care for you! If you are familiar with the Kinerase line, it's top notch and usually a bit pricier and only sold in department stores, spas and doctors' offices-but alas, you can easily Dr. Lewinn products at your local Walgreens and Walmarts.

And I quote their website: "Who says only the rich and famous can have ageless skin?

At last, Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase® brings you a full skin care line utilizing
exclusive clinical strength kinetin, Kinerase's signature antioxidant that
has successfully transformed women's skin for more than 10 years."

Hey there Gorgeous!
Are you traveling around the world as of late? I may not have received a stamp in my passport-though lately some really fun international products have come the way of Makeup University.
This lotion, Atopalm MLE is a smooth, easy spread, fast absorbing, rough patch evening, unscented lotion that seems to be perfect for over dried, chlorinated, harsh sun baked skin-like mine! I've been using it a few days now and like the effects! The real test is, I am on day 3 of putting it on my flip flop heel funk that seems to happen every summer that I wear non-stop flip flops. My heels get really dry and cracked even though I use the pumice in the shower daily!
So, more on that later. For now, I am enjoying Atopalm and think you may too? There is one drawback, it's not made in the United States, the bottle says Korea and I"m not sure if that's North or South? Is my lotion a communist or made by slave labor? I don't know. But, whoever made it-did good.
Here's some details about the Atopalm product line from their website, and you can find more details by visiting www.skinstore.com
This Atopalm MLE Lotion is a concentrated formula and works to repair skin's own barrier function by replenishing essential lipids. Atopalm MLE Lotion is ideal for those with Sensitive and oily skin types.

MLE (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion) Lotion provides deep moisturizing effects while protecting it from harsh environmental factors.

Hello Gorgeous!
I dearly pray that you are having as fabulous and amazing a summer as my family is!
Now-I'm busy! I mean, busy! Between Mancub's schedule and my schedule and travel and pets and you name it! We are busy! I thought that the summer would bring a break-but not so!
As I skip along through the days-I have a secret that keeps my makeup looking fresh and hydrated-in fact-like it has just been applied!
Want to know what it is?
I use a tinted moisturizer: either, Borghese Summer Glow spf 20, Boscia B.B.Cream spf 27 or Poractive Sheer Tint Moisture spf 15.
So, I apply to my clean skin in the morning and then throw that one in my bag-for later! After work and on my way to pick up my son, go to karate, to dinner and then the Night Splash at the waterpark I touch up my makeup with a wee squeeze of the tinted moisturizer to make my face look fresh and 'just'applied! I keep a retractable brush and bronzer in my makeup bag so then I just lightly dust my cheeks! Wah lah!
I look fresh all day and into the night! It works for me and maybe will for you too? Each of those products performs with great sun protection, color, moisture and spf! Find your favorite and laissez faire bon temps!

Violent Lips-summer style in a lip tattoo-

12 Fun Exercise Fads

Don't dread working out with these fun new fitness programs

This is a TotalBeauty.com fitness article Exercising is a pain in the behind if we can be frank, and the motivation to put down the ice cream bucket and get off the couch is slim to none. But, with these 12 new fitness fads, we (and you) will be a bit more excited about working out the muscles we never knew we had. Check 'em out

Okay Gorgeous-forget about wearing that silly side braid-you have got to get some of these temporary lip tattoos!
They are like rub on eyeshadow pallettes, and a kids temporary tattoo and a lip stain all in one! Yet they are very specific patterns!

I love Jessie J-who sings a 'Tory Johnson "Spark and Hustle" theme song' called 'Price Tag' but it's the tag line Mancub and I sing around the house- 'forget about the price tag, just want to make the
world dance, cha ching cha ching, ba bling ba bling!

So here the two of us are and we are on our way to see this awful movie called Judy Moody and the Not So Bummer Summer.
He is wearing the rainbow and I'm waring the pink roses.

Each lip set of tattoos, needs to be trimmed to fit your mouth when in the 'ahhhh' position. That was easy to do on my mouth but on little Mancub's lips it was a bit difficult.
Not to mention he couldn't sit still!

He also wanted to put the lip tattoos on his cheek, forehead, arm and anywhere he had skin.
These are made by Violent Lips and they are for me and you just as much as a rock star!
Jessie J is wearing the Union Jack and I'm hoping for an Old Glory United States flag in time for our big Independence Day party!
Now-Mancub picked his off on the ride to the theatre-but mine: once on, it needs 5 minutes to set, though when I stepped out of the house in to the hot 107 degree Arizona weather they immediately shrinky dinked up on my lips.
Talk about a seal!
I talked on the phone, drank some pop, ate popcorn, ate an apple, did some shopping and then after all of that, my pink rose Violent Lips tattoo was still SUPER adhered to my lips. The instructions say to use baby oil or mineral oil to remove them. Alas, I have neither of these substances in my house so I had to use the next best thing-olive oil. It was difficult to remove so I think for my next venture out in wearing these I am going to stop by the drugstore and pick up some baby oil!
I think for those of you going to the beach or the pool-this is an ultimate beauty accessory!
Now, there is one thing I forgot to do while wearing and that is apply a clear gloss over. I think I forgot because I was eating so much? I will try it again and report back. Enjoy! Go see more at http://www.violentlips.com/

Bummer on Not So Bummer Summer

How to Pronounce Foreign Beauty Brands

With one quick read of this handy guide, you won't have to feel shy at the makeup counter ever again

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article Do you ever feel silly when you ask to try a certain beauty product only to have the salesperson correct your pronunciation of the brand in question? To make sure that doesn't happen again, check out this guide that phonetically spells out how to say the names of 10 popular brands. Read post

Hello friends, family and fellow movie goer's:
Mancub and I have been looking forward to seeing the movie, "Judy Moody and the Not So Bummer Summer".
Today, Mancub tried to throw a coup on go to see Mr. Popper's Penguins and I didn't want him watching drivel and it wouldn't fit into our busy afternoon schedule.
Alas, I should have opted for the drivel!

See, I saw the Blue Dove seal of approval on the movie poster
and I know that The Dove Foundation is a good guide for finding family entertainment. Oh, that is if your family cusses and practices magic eight ball the worlds link to demonic opinion in a plastic kids toy.

I don't think that children's entertainment should have curse words-especially film dialogue where the characters address that the word is in fact, a curse word, and then blatantly use it-twice like in Judy Moody Not So Bummer Summer.
That's right up there with Tangled having cleavage heavy cartoon characters-perhaps it should be re-titled to a porn toon section in Netflix? Yes, I liked the movie-but I'm not a five year old boy noting the 'big boobs' and then asking about movie boobs. Great.
I also didn't appreciate the heavy reliance on the magic 8 ball toy to decide for lead character Judy if she was going to have a good summer or not.
Where was I when The Dove Foundation went over to the dark side?
Don't waste your time or your money on seeing Judy Moody Not So Bummer Summer and now I will NOT be doing the character makeup how to videos-why? Because I'm all out of magic 8 balls. That's why.
