Hi Gorgeous, Back to school madness has officially been replaced with the serene, calm of the steady school schedule and predictability of home work. Ahhh...schedule! Now to help you work on yourself and look your best with at home spa treatments, consider the Luster 1 Hour White at home system for teeth whitening.

10 Workouts That Feel Like Recess for Grown-Ups

Hate how boring the treadmill can be? Check out the 10 trendy exercises that feel like child's play

This is a TotalBeauty.com fitness article Tired of the same old gym routine? Rev up your humdrum workout with these 10 new exercises that are not only fun, they help trim your figure and keep you healthy. Who knew shedding pounds could make you feel like a kid again? Get fun workouts

 Hello Gorgeous!

I like the Jillian Dempsey line of makeup from Avon best-why? Because it has a lot of pigment in the products meaning that a wee bit goes a long way!

See these 2 products in the photo? They are a must have for your back to school beauty becaue they can make many looks and easily pack up in your purse or back pack!

The first one on the left is called a 'smokifier' which is a fancy term for a loose powder eyeliner: so put a bit on as a liner or blend as an eyeshadow then add more for evening time-it's just too cool and fun! Apply to eyebrows or get wet for a more intense look.

PLEASE NOTE FOR APPLICATION: wait to apply your foundation because a bit may flake under the eye-you may need to clean up under the eye after application, I know I do! Also, if too much product comes out on the sponge, either tap back into the bottle or simply blot the sponge applicator on a tissue so you don't get a big flaky mess!

Second you see the gold creme eyeshadow on one end with a black liquid liner on the other: it's like a rockabilly girls dream!

I have tried both, worn them in the excessive Arizona heat and so far so good for holding up under high heat, humidity and going through a long day!

They are both about $10-but watch for a sale! Order on www.avon.com

Back to School beauty with Avon ideal flawless foundation

How to Look Gorgeous When You’re in a Rush

Here are six time-saving hair and makeup tips for those days when you hit snooze one too many times

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup tips article We've all been there: You've overslept and now you're scarfing down a granola bar with one hand and haphazardly applying mascara with the other. And the result is never pretty (greasy hair, smudged liner, and naked lips, oh my!). So, for those days when you're in a crunch, here are the quick tips and products you'll need to look fab in a flash. Save time now

Oh me likey this foundation! I'm coming off a bottle of Revlon that when I started using the product worked great-but as it aged it began to break down in the bottle and on the skin-so thank goodness I got a sample of the natural beige Avon ideal flawless foundation.

On me it wears well, lasts along time, though does need to be blotted about four hours in. I'm not sure if this is the product of the extreme heat and humidity of Arizona right now?

I'm using it on a photo shoot -so we shall see if the proof is in the pudding! So far, I can say it's worth the purchase price. Normally $11 and  saw on the Avon.com website that it is on sale for $8.99.

Complete coverage that looks and feels 100% natural. Looks great from every angle. Lightweight and oil-free. Dermatologist-tested; suitable for all skin types. Convenient pump dispenser for mess-free application. 1 fl. oz. Earth, Dark Cocoa and Rich Espresso are not SPF.
