EHT® AGE DEFYING SUPPLEMENT

June was Brain Awareness Month.

As we age, there’s no avoiding a natural decline in brain wellness—due to a variety of factors from the normal aging process to poor diet, alcohol consumption and environmental stressors. These factors cause memory loss, slower reaction times and diminished alertness and I can tell you I suffer this daily. I am sort of well – losing it! I can’t remember words and well, I prolly have early onset Alzheimers. I just started taking it and hopefully it will help with word recall?!! Let’s see. I just may forget to follow up if it doesn’t work. 🙂

EHT® Age Defying Supplement – Mind Enhancement™ Formula – from Nerium International helps keep neuronal connections (the so called ‘wiring’) in the brain strong and healthy.

EHT helps improve brain performance, specifically COGNITIVE FUNCTION, MEMORY and RECALL, FOCUS and MENTAL ALERTNESS.

30 tablets $80.00

EHT® Supplement is a breakthrough supplement that features the patented EHT molecule and other key beneficial ingredients. Nerium has exclusive rights to the use of the EHT molecule. Each box contains a full 30-day supply.

 

Rejuvenate Your Skin and Reverse the Effects of Aging with Dynamic Innovation Labs

July 27, 2016

Dynamic-Product_Family

You want luxury, science, function and results? Here it comes…

You know by now that stem cells contain two key components: growth factors, which play a role in cell division, the growth of new cells, and the production of collagen and elastin; and proteins, which regulate that stem-cell division.

So, when applied to your skin, these two components help firm wrinkles and slow the development of new lines.

Let me introduce you to the motherlode…

Dynamic Sonic Innovation is a health-oriented skin rejuvenator, which tights the skin by Warm compress or Cold compress with Vibration and shifts from hot to cold in just 3 seconds to make an instant skin rejuvenation. It is really a good partner for facial care in daily life. This ultrasound device adapted for home use, so you can enjoy professional aesthetic skin treatment results from the comfort of your own home.

This is high grade top of the line product.

I’ve been using the product and device for a week and first of all – it’s super easy to use. Relief. I always stress out when a new device arrives in the mail for me to try. This is so easy, charge up, apply product and apply to face, while writing a blog post, watching tv, reading, etc. Easy and feels SO GOOD.

Mare Salon for Joico’s K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock

July 26, 2016

Today, hair frazzled and fried from my usual neglect, I entered Mare, the uber chic Weho hair salon, owned by celebrity colorist, Dennis De Souza for my virgin experience with Joico’s K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock .

Ladies, if you color, abuse, or in any way neglect your locks, this is the treatment to save you! My hair was begging for some magic and Joico delivered. Check out these pics below (beautiful woman with long blonde hair is not me, but model on hand to demonstrate a before/after):

Dennis could not have been more gracious, welcoming and elegantly professional as he masterfully applied the K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock treatment and let it work its magic for a good five minutes. This is an at-home deep conditioning treatment I fully intend to continue with for my thirsty hair! (Dennis’ hands sold separately).

After the hair mask was rinsed, I had the best blow out and then coiffure by two of the excellent stylists on board.  

My hair was as silky as mink coat, styled perfectly and shining in the (HOT as Hades) LA sunshine. 

Yes, I walked out of there like a slo-mo hair care commercial, but more importantly with healthy hair.

Brazilian Blowout is Back and Better than ever with Erica at Ramirez Tran

July 19, 2016

Today I kissed my #JewFro goodbye again!

With the genius of Erica Birdoes at the infamous Ramirez Tran ( you know, THE Ramirez Tran who we all stalk on Instragram)

BB’s have been out of the lime light for a while because of all the hub bub a few years back about their safety. Meanwhile fro’s and frizz have never stopped loving them and demanding them. It’s just the WHO’s and HOW’s of administering have become much more important.

Enter (goddess AF) stylist Erica Birdoes. (love at first sight for me!)

In less than two hours, in a gorgeous, open air (as in door open) fans-on studio, she tamed the beast that is my jew from meets bleached blond and my hair is so soft, shiny and gorg, I want to take a hundred seflies. And I did. But they all look like shit.

You’ll have to trust me or stalk me on Insta.

Erica is a dream, this was NOT the BB I remember from years ago. No smell (though she gave me a sexy little pimped out medical mask) and it just went FAST!

For $450 every few months ( I ill try to stretch it out to 4 please god willing)! it is totally worth it. Basically, zero hair work. Shower, finger dry, boom, straight, frizz free shiny hair.

Next time, I’ll have her cut my hair – her eye for style is impeccable. And I HAVE TO TRY A COLORIST HERE!!!!

Please email a photo to Erica before booking!

Dr. Barbara Sturm “Blood Cream”

July 8, 2016

FullSizeRenderDr. Barbara Sturm

In this day and age of eternal youth and beauty, I found a gem in Dr. Barbara Sturm. I recently met this German, pint sized powerhouse scientist and renowned beauty doctor, famous for her Hollywood A listers and international  clientele, in Los Angeles.  She’s developed a unique line of skincare products that combine medical expertise and cellular healing substances designed to slow down the aging process and keep cells younger longer. Dr. Sturm believes in maximum results with the minimum number of products.

That’s why she created her signature “blood cream” a.k.a. MC1 cream. It’s a holistic, effective face cream made from a patient’s own blood which naturally contains proteins and growth factors that reduce inflammation and stimulate the healing process.  It claims to reduce the signs of aging by building collagen, shrinking pores, reducing wrinkles, relieving inflammation and clearing up skin conditions like psoriasis and other common complaints.  It’s free of mineral oil, fragrance, and parabans.  

FullSizeRender-1 IMG_3814The concept is based on the understanding that a person’s blood cells have a natural ability to heal the body without the stress of using foreign substances.  She asked if I’d like to try it and I eagerly agreed. She drew blood, surprisingly pain-free, and the next day my $1400 custom “blood cream” was ready for pick up.  Along with that, she also gave me her Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Ampoules. A favorite of Jada Pinkett Smith, it’s designed to diminish fine lines, boost elasticity, and make your complexion firmer. I’ve been using both for about two weeks now and have happily been able to ditch the topical steroid cream I had become addicted to for so many years.  MC1 has a substantial, creamy consistency that absorbs nicely into the skin, not greasy. Its meant to be used both day and night. I’m really looking refreshed, younger and natural. It’s like my skin is breathing now.  The texture is firmer and I have a more youthful tone.  Well worth it if you want to indulge.  

Dr. Sturm is not a fan of make up and believes women look much younger with less make up and naturally radiant skin.  She told me that she wanted me to lay off of the make up since my skin was great. We’ll have to see about that!  

While Dr. Sturm’s proprietary MC1 cream is available exclusively to her patients, she has created a high performance skin care range that harnesses the power of Pursulane to address the signs of skin aging. The line is currently sold on Net-a-Porter and will launch at Violet Grey in September 2016.
