The whimsical set-up naturally attracted attention and people easily fell in love with the concept as well as what we had in store for all of them.

The Magic of Water

Ever seen real magic on this planet? Why yes, you have!

Water is such a magical component that we humans tend to overlook at times but we are here to remind you all about its great and never-ending benefits.

From skin to bones, adequate consumption of water greatly contributes to our healthy journey. It is extremely amusing how one element can improve almost everything.

Approximately 50 to 70%  of our body mass is made up of water and this includes our skin, tissue, cells, and organs.

In beauty, applying water in our regular diet helps with the growth of hair and clearing up the skin and maintaining a natural glow.

Drinking water balances the oil of the skin and it aids with flushing the toxins of the body which usually causes acne and other skin problems due to the accumulation of bacteria.

It is powerful enough to combat skin disorders such as psoriasis, wrinkles, and eczema. The skin can also be rejuvenated immediately when the body is soaked in cold water for just a couple of minutes!

Looking for a natural way to tighten the skin? Water can serve that purpose, too.

This natural vitamin is just jam-packed with benefits and we can go on forever with great reasons as to why we should all incorporate consuming water at all times. Most of all, it is free and available for us to use at any time.

Pedi-Care: Winter Tips

Cold weather got your feet feeling blue?

During the winter time, we have no choice but to cover up and keep certain parts of our body from the cold. One, in particular, is our feet and because it is always covered up during this season, we tend to also provide it with less attention and maintenance since it would be rarely seen in any scene.

But must we wait until the sun is shining on our feet again to continue to give it some love? Lucky us, we do not need to! Let us give you some DIY winter tips that will make you have happy feet again no matter what season we are in.

The Sweetest Soak:
Ahhh...this one comes in handy especially on those rough days at work. Here is our favorite —
Anti-oxidant Honey Foot Soak.

Just drop a cup of honey into a shallow tub of warm water and with a 15-minute soak, your feet will feel softer than ever.

The Invigorating Scrub:
We might not be able to erase our coldest days but we can for sure scrub the dead skin away with our DIY Peppermint Foot Scrub.

What we need:

1/2 granulated sugar
4 drops of peppermint oil
coconut oil

Once swirled in together, we can then start applying it directly to our feet. Scrub the homemade potion and soak your feet in warm weather afterward. A slice of heaven for sure!

Moisturizing Socks:

Whether you start with our DIY soak or scrub, it is very important that we keep our feet moisturize especially in this harsh weather. Dry feet during winter can easily cause cracked heels and can lead into multiple disorders such as athlete’s foot. Our simple solution?
Our DIY Jelly socks!

To restore moisture back in our feet, we will only need a few things:

a pair of socks
petroleum jelly 

Before bed, coat your feet with the jelly and massage it evenly. Apply the socks once done and voila! The jelly will be working its magic overnight while you are getting your beauty sleep.

We hope you all enjoyed our mini DIYs and remember, our feet need TLC all throughout the 4 seasons and it only takes 1,2,3 to make it all happen.

The Beauty of Jade Rolling

For the holidays, I received a Jade Roller as a present with the face cream order.  I really did not know much about a Jade Roller so I put it aside and went about my normal skincare routine. A few nights later, I was watching a video posted by Well & Good and there was a woman discussing the benefits of Jade Rolling. I tuned in and am SO glad I did. After listening to her speak about the benefits of Jade rolling,  I immediately put mine in the refrigerator. Before bed that night, I washed my face and started my usual skincare routine. Afterward, I made my way to the refrigerator to roll the cold Jade roller over my face in the middle of my kitchen. I rinsed it off after use and returned it to my refrigerator. Now, the Jade Rolling is part of my daily face moisturizing routine. I felt divine, alive, relaxed and calm. The feeling of being able to treat my skin through a simple method is just phenomenal and it is as easy as 1, 2, 3. 

Below is one of the basic steps to use this invigorating treat for your skin! 
How to practice Jade rolling:

I recommend putting your roller in the fridge for a few hours before using it.

Step 1 -  Clean your face.

Step 2 - Exfoliate your skin.

Step 3 - Apply serum or moisturizer.

Step 4 Start rolling WITH outward and upward motions around each area, about 3 times.

Step 5- Wipe your face and reapply serum or moisturizer if needed. 

Step 6- Clean your Jade Roller and place it in a pouch or ziplock bag.

Winter Skincare

The weather outside is frightful so please be extra mindful of your skin this season.

With the dark winter ahead of us, maintaining your natural glow can easily be achieved but just a friendly reminder that consistency is key.

And similar to the changing seasons, we recommend switching your skincare routine to match the season. So for this winter season here are some recommended do's and dont's that will help protect your skin.

  • Moisturize all the time and do not forget to add the sunscreen!

  • Hydrate the skin by drinking water.

  • Avoid exfoliating your skin constantly during wintertime because it can overdry the skin.

  • Carry a lip balm.

  • Wash your face with lukewarm water.

  • Use hydrating cleansers.

  • Deep cleanse at night and moisture before going to bed.

  • Munch on veggies. Yum!

  • Humidify your room.

  • Get adequate sleep.


Following these simple tips makes a big and better difference all the way! 

You will no longer have to miss your glowing days. Happy Winter!

Holiday Trails

The season is here when we are moving around non-stop trying to get things done in preparation for the chain of holidays. During the frenzy, we tend to make it impossible to sit down and recharge the proper way all because we have much to do! With all the hustle and bustle in making sure that we have our loved ones covered, we still should not forget that self-care is still a must.

Because of the time restriction that we put on ourselves during the holiday season, the quick self-treats are becoming more appealing in our eyes. A good example is a relaxing pedicure.

Pedicure is more than just nail shaping and buffing. It is also a form of massage and more importantly, targeting our pressure points. In times when we are hit with the extra amount of stress, simple self-care such as treating ourselves with a pedicure session will definitely go a long way.

No time to sit in a nail salon and wait? No worries! We have fantastic professional pedicurists that we can send right at your location. Let us get you set-up and we will deliver the treat right in your favorite space.

The Ultimate Beauty Tips to Look Stunning This Holiday Season

‘Tis the season to get extremely busy with all the hustle and bustle in trying to get things done in a very short amount of time! 
But in the midst of all, it is still  important to take care of yourself especially with all the endless holiday parties.

Because everything just instantly turns into a time-sensitive matter during the holidays, we whipped up these quick beauty do's to save the day...and your time!

Eyes: 

Longer days plus longer nights can definitely affect your glow. One way to conceal the darkness and bring the brightness right back to your face is applying white eyeliner in your waterline and inner corners. This can help bring the sunshine back to your eyes.

Lips:

Want a long-lasting tint on your lips? Apply foundation on your lips prior to applying lipstick. It will for sure hold the color down so you will not have to worry about stopping in your tracks just to reapply the color.

Nails:

Ouch! A nicked nail can be such a bother but thanks to this easy trick, you can fix it in just seconds. Simply dip your nail in a polish remover then quickly rub it over the chip toward the tip of your nail to smooth it out.

Dab some polish in the bare spot to fill it in and voila! You have saved a secondary trip to your manicurist.

Hair:

No time to blow dry your hair? No worries. You can jet out of the door and still have beautiful hair once air-dried.

Blot your hair with a towel, spritz some volumizing spray, and brush your hair thoroughly. In just 20 minutes you will have thick and volumized locks.

Skincare:

Makeup on then makeup off! After making sure that the makeup stays on throughout the holiday party, we would not really want to spend the same amount of time removing the products applied on our skin.

To remove makeup in a flash, grab a facial wipe before the lather-and-rinse process. This trick will get the job done and your face will thank you for it.

The Truth About Manpering

We all had our fair share of myths and tales and one of them, we are all very well familiar with: women are the only one who loves to get pampered.

Why don't we step back into reality and discuss various reasons why men will indulge in some pampering as well?

After the hard work and the overtime, men crave for some relaxation time just as much as us women do.

Some men prefer to sit back and watch a football game or maybe some hardcore time in the gym but there are some who considers "me-time" to be a knot-free day through intensive massage to banish some aches and pains.

Men will enjoy a relaxing treatment even if it is something swift.

Simple methods such as releasing pressure through foot massages can be such a big help and a mood booster for our men and a spa treatment can definitely help them de-stress and refresh for the upcoming work week. Another quick and well-known treatment that they love is the chair massage. Chair massage can help reduce stress and muscle tension as well as rejuvenate the mind and body in just under 15 minutes!

For those who desire more of a luxurious treatment such as a Swedish massage, this is believed to help reduce depression and anxiety, increase blood circulation, and relieve pain.  In addition, this type of activity can easily be turned into a QT (quality time) with their significant other!

The holiday season is here and it is time to join in with the festivities.

And around this time, we are now on a mission to scout for the very best presents that can help us express how much we love and value our family and friends. One present that will never go out of style is the gift of pampering which is also known as the gift of "me" time. 

During this extremely busy season, it is the perfect time to show that special someone that you truly care and value their time by giving them the opportunity to unwind and relax with much comfort in their own home.

It may just be a simple treat but it will surely bring a bigger smile to your dearest one.

Organic Skincare

Last week, I was sitting across from my 82-year-old mother and found myself staring at her face. Something was slightly different. Her skin looked firmer, healthier-glowing a bit. I had not seen her in a few weeks so the thought of a little plastic surgery did cross my mind. She joked for years about a little nip and tuck here and there but she would tell me right? So of course, I said something. I told her how great she looked (because she did) so she had the opportunity to spill the beans. She said, “it is the cream you told me about.” I could not believe my ears that I was getting all the credit for introducing her to this wonderful organic skincare line I discovered about 10 years ago called Savor Beauty. I was excited to think that my skin may look like hers when I am her age since I use the line religiously twice a day. It truly is an amazing line and I think it works!
