Mon, 05/09/2011 - 11:45 | Dimitri
How many times have you visited your local perfume counter to discover a new scent that you'd like to try on skin, but you already left the house that day wearing one?One would think that asking for a sample in such situations would not require a detailed character reference nor a polygraph test, yet nine times out of 10 you wind up being refused by a stuffy sales associate.
Well don't get mad, get informed!
Tips for keeping warm-weather skin fresh and healthy
Tue, 04/26/2011 - 10:50 | Wendy
Summer is just around the corner. If you haven't already, pull out the sunscreen. Just because the sun isn't putting off its most intense heat yet doesn't mean your skin isn't soaking it in -- and drying out.
Would you splurge your paycheck on fragrance?
Wed, 04/13/2011 - 09:57 | Wendy
Women were given a choice between giving up sex for a week or their favorite beauty product in a recent survey by L'Bel USA. It's not surprising that sex took the back seat on this one. The one that surprised me, though, was that they would give up their favorite pair of jeans or shoes. I'm not sure I could ever give up my comfy jeans just to keep my MAC foundation.
Fragrance affected by skin type
Fri, 04/08/2011 - 10:44 | Wendy
Fragrances smell different on different skin types because of the way the scent interacts with the skin's natural oils. If you have oily skin, go light on your fragrance for less intensity. Dry skin does not hold the fragrance as long; therefore, it is recommended you reapply your fragrance a few times per day.
Omega 3 works miracles on skin

Omega 3 is a miracle substance for your skin! You can get Omega 3 naturally from eating fish, but if fish isn’t your thing, try getting your fix of from essential oils or skincare products (Philosophy and Ultima). Omega 3 is a fatty acid that can help to alleviate dry skin, eczema and dermatitis, as well as firm the skin to prevent wrinkles and sagging.
Sleep is key to healthy, glowing skin

How many times has someone said to you, Wow you look tired? Our skin doesn't lie when it comes to sleep deprivation. Just how much sleep do you need? In a society where "go, go, go" is the norm, we may opt to skimp on sleep. In the end, however, we're doing our bodies (and our skin) harm.
Job interview? Show off your skills, not your scent
Mon, 02/28/2011 - 15:32 | Wendy
If you're going on an interview, be mindful of your fragrance. Some people are very sensitive to odor, even to the point of offended, so it's important that you do not overdo it. This is a time for your skills to stand out, not your scent!
Try a light scent like Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue, which is fresh and citrusy. DKNY's Be Delicious is another good option. Its notes of grapefruit, cucumber and apple won't offend anyone, but it might make them hungry.

A quick beauty tip for Monday morning

It's Monday morning. Don't let your face show coworkers just how little sleep (but a lot of fun) you had over the weekend. Don't load on foundation to hide tired eyes. Instead try a tinted moisturizer and neutral color eye pencil. Cucumber slices work, too, to minimize puffiness.
Long week? Try this health tip to relieve stress

Feeling stressed after a long week? Try an essential oil blend of Ylang-Ylang and grapefruit. Don’t apply the essential oils directly to your skin. Use a carrier lotion like jojoba or simply add some drops to a pot of water and heat it on the stove.
