MyChelle Beauty Key 3 -what Valentine's Day skin needs now

Hi ya Gorgeous!

TGIF! It's so hot in Arizona right now and it's not even summer!  Valentine's Day is coming up next week and if you need a simple way to prepare your skin to look your best on date night, look no further than MyChelle Dermaceuticals.

These skincare products are bioactive, ethically sourced and formulated with high performance ingredients - like plant stem cells, peptides and vitamins in their most potent forms for superior results and natural healthy skin.

I'm a big serum user and lover and whoa do these ever work! I noticed results in the first day of using morning and night, the following morning, my skin texture was smoother and more vibrant.

I'm loving that the Retinal serum really looks and smells like it contains turmeric and ginger.

I tried samples of the Perfect C Serum 17% and it smells good and feels good!  I also tried the Remarkable Retinal Serum and it could possible be the culprit behind improving the texture of my skin.

All of the MyChelle products are certified gluten free, cruelty free, vegan and non-gmo.  These products are good for your skin and good for the planet.

My final sample I received is the Sun Shield SPF 28 Unscented and it uses titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as natural mineral barriers on the skin to the sun.  I do like it, though I don't love it.  This sunscreen does not contain any oxybenzone or avobenzone chemical ingredients making it reef safe and human safe too!

I'm definitely looking at more MyChelle Dermaceuticals to add to my skincare regime!
If you need to get a quick jumpstart on amazing skin for Valentine's Day, try some MyChelle Dermaceuticals, available online on their website, Amazon or at Whole Foods!

Hello Gorgeous!
Spring Break fun can bring many activities-some that may give you some sore chapped skin! I've tested my sample of the Waxelene all natural petroleum jelly alternative and love it! I used it on myself and on my son and we both agree that it smells good, wears well and feels great on sand and wind whipped beach skin.

It's easy to get some of your own at a CVS, Whole Foods or Bed Bath & Beyond near you for about $7.00

Waxelene^® is the petroleum jelly alternative.

NO petroleum. Only natural & organic ingredients.

Moisturize, protect, and soothe skin all in one!

Waxelene^® is revolutionizing skin care. It creates the same waterproof barrier that doctors recommend petroleum jelly for but contains no petroleum or hydrogenated oil. Instead we use our patent pending aeration process that won’t clog pores and makes Waxelene^® highly effective for any kind of dry skin. Not only that, it can be used for hundreds of other things just like petroleum jelly.

Kaeng Raeng Detox: get movin'!

Hello Gorgeous! I love trying something new and I am always looking for something to aid training for triathlons and getting red carpet ready and now, spring break ready!

Moms-has this school year flown by for you too? I can't believe we have a week of surfing and fishing coming up next month-I've got to get into my wet suit!

I did the 3 day detox program with Kaeng Raeng created by Lindsay Reinsmith ( you get this online or at Whole Foods) and it's 3 things in my experience: delicious tasting, bloat moving and refreshing!

The orange packet of Glai Roong is mango peach and pineapple and my favorite. So if you need to squeeze into a dress for the red carpet, get bikini ready for spring break or just move the holiday sludge out of your system-try some Kaeng Raeng!

As New Year's resolutions are in full swing and Valentine's Day celebrations behind, you  will want to recover from post V-Day splurging, returning to their healthy living regimen.

To get back to feeling our very best, high quality products such as Kaeng Raeng that promote healthy living are available at Whole Foods or online and can be delivered quickly straight to your front door - including vegan cleanses for jumpstarting healthier eating.

Products like Kaeng Raeng, a freeze dried, preservative free, gluten free cleanse was designed to provide fresh ingredients to consumers at a low cost - shipped and delivered in just 2 days.

Kaeng Raeng is one of several natural products now focused on the direct to consumer sales channel, which enables entrepreneurs (like the one who created Kaeng Raeng, Lindsay Reinsmith) to offer lower prices and thorough customer service over the pricey and formal protocols associated with mass distribution.

 In our growing age of Amazon Prime, streaming content, and at-home fitness, cleansing and weight loss diets are still largely a time consuming process, plagued by several trips to the grocery store. Kaeng Raeng provides the benefits of cleansing in the 21st century - all you have to do is add water!  You'll receive 3 packets per day (9 or 18 total) of the detox program you choose.

This is a TotalBeauty.com health article When it comes to Hollywood’s starlets, the cycle is always the same: The tabloids notify us of a bun in the oven, we start to see baby bumps on the red carpet, and after the unique (read: bizarre) name of the child is finally revealed, we see the same celeb emerge with a flat tummy and svelte figure. The turnover time between being 9 months pregnant and having an enviable post-baby body is so minimal that it’s downright hard to believe. What’s the secret behind rapidly dropping the baby weight? We got the dirt on the health and fitness regimens of our favorite celeb mommies. And while we can't afford a live-in trainer or personal chef, there are a few tactics that everyone can try.

As seen on Dr. Oz: Seabuck Wonders Sea Buckthorn products

8 Diet Drinks That Are Actually Good for You

Replace your diet coke with one of these eight drinks. They'll not only help trim your waistline, but they're also packed with good-for-you ingredients

This is a TotalBeauty.com weight loss diets article Despite what the name suggests, "diet drinks" may be low-cal -- but they're often not so hot for your diet. But since no one gets excited about drinking a tall glass of water, we turned to nutritionists and healthy-eating experts to get the skinny on the best actual diet drinks out there. Here are the experts' picks for the diet-friendly, nutrient-packed drinks that won't sabotage your healthy-eating ways. See drinks

Hi Gorgeous!
I have found a good thing as seen on the Dr. Oz show. My favorite out of all the products that I tried is the Seabuck Wonders Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil-it just tastes good and I like that it is called the 'intensive cellular care' product.

These products are organic and kosher. Great for gift giving and getting! There was so much to learn and share about each product, that I figured it was best to post from the website the specific details about each product.

I also did a short video review which you will find at the end of the blog post. As we are going into a weather change plus a busy holiday season, I suggest you get some Seabuck Wonders soft gels or oil today! Visit the online store locator, Whole foods or order online!

 Intensive Cellular Care

A rich supply of Omega 7 (30-35%), vitamins E and A, and the presence of the legendary SOD (superoxide dismutase), among other valuable nutrients, make this product invaluable for your health and beauty routine. Omega 7 is hailed as a special nutrient that may protect, replenish, moisten and restore the skin and mucus membranes that line the digestive and urogenital tracts. The synergistic effect of the above nutrients with hundreds of others, makes berry oil a very effective beauty and age-defying product that is good for skin, gastrointestinal and urinary health, as well as hair and nails. $24.97

Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil

Optimum Potency

High content of Omega 3, 6, 9, vitamins A and E, and numerous nutrients, including unsaturated fatty acids and minerals, makes this product very unique. The synergistic effect, like that of all seeds of plants, is extremely regenerating and potent. Whether you want to maintain or improve your health, if your target is your immune system, heart, brain, liver, skin or white blood cell count, it will work for you. The abundance of strong antioxidants and other bioactive factors may provide essential protection against hostile elements such as free radicals. $34.97




Infused with a potent blend of Omega 3, 6, 9, and the rare Omega-7, SeabuckWonders’ Deep Hydrating Serum will not only moisturize skin, but also improve texture and tone.


Sea Buckthorn Deep Hydrating Serum nourishes and supports cell regeneration to minimize fine lines and help maintain a youthful, healthy glow. This serum is ideal for all skin types and is highly effective, yet it will not leave your skin oily or irritated. Deep Hydrating Serum is an important part of your everyday skincare routine and will leave you with smooth, radiant skin.  $34.97



Sea Buckthorn Facial Cream supports a healthy moisture balance deep within the skin. This hydrating, yet lightweight, formula absorbs quickly and nurtures the skin for a soft, smooth complexion. Utilizing the superb age-defying properties of sea buckthorn oil, SeabuckWonders Facial Cream minimizes fine lines, while protecting the skin from the damaging effects of the sun and environmental pollutants.  $19.97

Infused with a potent blend of Omega 3, 6, 9, and the rare Omega-7, SeabuckWonders Exfoliating Facial Cleanser ensures not only a deep clean, but a boost to your skin’s vibrancy.

Sea Buckthorn Facial Cleanser cleans skin gently, yet effectively, without stripping the skin of its natural oils. It exfoliates to remove dirt and impurities, while hydrating skin for a smooth, clear complexion. Unlike many other facial cleansers, SeabuckWonders Facial Cleanser is ideal for all skin types that will benefit from its remarkable nutritional properties, leaving skin feeling clean, balanced, and beautiful. This invigorating cleanser is an excellent first step in any skin care routine.  $16.97



With a potent infusion of Omega 3, 6, 9, and the powerful skin-healing Omega 7, SeabuckWonders Body Lotion provides nourishment with age-defying properties for soft, healthy skin.

Intensely moisturizing, Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion rejuvenates and replenishes the skin’s natural balance, softening and nourishing for silky, touchable skin. Its high concentration of sea buckthorn oil allows for superior moisture retention while protecting the skin from signs of aging and the effects of exposure to the sun. $14.97

The SeabuckWonders Difference

SeabuckWonders products are made of sea buckthorn oils ONLY from the Tibetan Plateau. This is where high altitude, strong ultraviolet radiation, severe cold, scorching heat, and dry and barren soil have equipped the remarkable sea buckthorn plant with an extraordinary bio-defense mechanism that breeds substantial life-giving nutrients for enhancing health and beauty.

The Tibetan local green environment makes our sea buckthorn oils amazingly pure, naturally boosting the content of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E over other varieties. The SeabuckWonders supercritical fluid extraction process in one of the most advanced facilities makes our sea buckthorn oils the best in quality. The fact that our products are certified organic, provides our customers with even more confidence that SeabuckWonders is the finest brand of Sea Buckthorn products around the globe! (Find out more about what makes SeabuckWonders stand out)
*Special note and newsflash to clarify my curiosity about the color of the product: and I quote the information from the company spokesperson "the orange color of our products....it's the the "natural, essential oils" that gives it the color, its the actual sea buckthorn berry! And that's important because when you compare our skin care products to our biggest competitor (Sibu) you can tell our product has a much higher concentration of sea buckthorn because of the color (Sibu's is almost white)...which makes our product superior (even though it's not priced higher than Sibu!! :) And the higher concentration produces more dramatic results...." Well, that answers it for me! Remember: you are beautiful! Thank you for visiting the blog and check back for promotions and beauty giveaways!

Aubrey Organics-mineral spray & shave creme

9 Shocking Habits That Are Ruining Your Teeth

Great dental health takes more than seeing your dentist every six months. Do you have one of these bad habits that are wrecking your smile?

This is a TotalBeauty.com beauty tips article Sure, smoking and drinking coffee aren't exactly going to help you score an A-List smile -- but did you know your favorite workout could be damaging your teeth? Here are the habits to break -- and the ones to start -- to keep those pearly whites looking amazing. See them

Hi Gorgeous!
I love the Aubrey Organics line for skincare that is pthalate free! Now-for body care they are on par for natural skin care that is safe for the whole family!
Here is their mission statement:
"Our mission is to provide all-natural, safe and effective personal care and lifestyle products to the consumer. We offer a true and authentic alternative to many of the mass produced synthetic products on the market today. We craft only the highest quality all-natural products without compromise as to ingredients, packaging or cost.".

I love that-and though I have not tried their makeup line-I hope it's good because there are many pre-teen and teenage girls who wear makeup and are at risk for having their body hormones sped up and force puberty at an earlier age due to pthalates in their cosmetics and body products.

So, I say give Aubrey Organics a try! Find it at your local natural food store, such as Sprouts, Sunflower Markets, Whole Foods or the Good Apple out in Apache Junction.

There are so many amazing products in the line-go try some!

So I got this sample of this ulta light creamy textured gel as I was beginning the HCG diet. I was so excited because I thought it was "approved" for the protocol.

Well, according to Dr. Simeons, the only thing "approved" is mineral oil or petroleum jelly in limited use in extreme cases of dryness.

I tried it and loved it. First, it comes in a tube with a nib at the end similiar to a lip gloss. Second it is so lightweight and hydrating that it absorbed right into my eye skin.

I am such a fan of the Zia Natural line for making great effective skin care products while using sustainable resources and organic ingredients.

Well don't take my word for it, visit their website and learn more about the Essential Eye Gel and the entire line. You can purchase at Sprouts, Whole Foods or the health food store near you!

Here's a little bit about the product from their website:

Zia Natural Skincare’s Essential Eye Gel utilizes all natural calming ingredients in an innovative soothing gel formula gentle enough for the most sensitive eye area. Don’t let dryness, puffiness, dark circles or fine lines take over your eyes.


Butchers Broom Extract combined with clinically proven peptide reduces under eye puffiness, Ivy Extract and Gotu Kola promote circulation, leaving the eye area looking awake and refreshed. Cornflower Flower Water, high in Allantoin and Vitamin K reduce inflammation and dark circles. Green Tea fights cell damage and aids skin repair. Organic cucumber and aloe soothe and nourish the delicate under eye skin.

This fresh, soothing gel costs $21.95 and is all natural and paraben free. Zia products are available at Whole Foods and other health food stores nationwide and online at www.zianatural.com.
