Hedley & Bennett: Best Aprons Ever

January 9, 2015

I am totally apron obsessed. I love wearing one to cook, clean and make art. I need a sturdy apron that doesn’t make me look house-wifey and frumpy but rather like a boss who means business. A sexy, chic boss!

Heldey and Bennett have me covered. Chic, clean and bad ass? Check, check, check.

ABOUT: Each product is handmade in Los Angeles from from start to finish using top grade materials such as American canvas, raw Japanese selvage denim and European linens. These unique pieces posses a quality as high as the clothes they’re meant to protect. Built to last, each fabrication detail has been carefully considered to handle the rigorous daily use experienced in a working kitchen.

For less than $100 you can get a sturdy, classic apron (in various lengths) made from the best materials. The best part is, my kids have matching aprons that they like to wear just because they make them feel cool. It also motivates them to get working with me in the kitchen. A win win!

If you are serious about your apron game, head over to Hedley & Bennett and check out their winning collection!

More about Ellen Bennett: While working in various restaurants throughout Los Angeles, founder Ellen Bennett noticed the mundane and stale look of the American restaurant uniforms. What started as an experiment for one of her chef’s kitchens turned into a nationwide trend of culinary professionals donning these thoughtfully and well constructed designer aprons.

Z SKIN SYSTEMS™ is the first nutrition-focused skin care system that takes a 360 degree approach to healthy skin with ingestible and topical components.

January 8, 2015

Traditional topical products such as serums, masks and creams do not penetrate far enough into the skin to promote healthy skin inside and out. To age well, the body needs certain nutrients which the body stops producing over time. Z SKIN SYSTEMS™ is the first nutrition-focused skin care system that takes a 360 degree approach to healthy skin with ingestible and topical components. Both their serum and supplement contain their key ingredient at the highest level on the market with a patent-protected formula: zeaxanthin, which is a potent antioxidant derived from paprika peppers and has been clinically evaluated to promote nourished skin that’s balanced internally and externally.

Beauty Benefits from Z SKIN SYSTEMS™:

Cutting edge approach to banishing acne: clinical science shows acne starts in the gut – toxic build-up in the gut can lead to a leaky gut, when toxins get into your blood stream and can effect your skin’s health. The Clear Method targets balancing gut health from the inside out
Pore health: in their clinical trials at 3 months, a Clear Skin user experienced 24% reduction in pore visibility(before and after below)
Instant glow on the inside and out: both the Radiant Method and Clear Skin Method give you a glow from the outside and inside out with their topical serum and ingestible natural supplements
Decrease fine lines and deep wrinkles: in their clinical trials at 3 months, a Radiant Skin user experienced 60% reduction in the number of deep lines (before and after below)
Other beauty benefits include: hydration, UV photo-protection, improved skin texture, decreased redness
Z SKIN SYSTEMS™also helps common skin issues such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis

Made in the USA, Z SKIN SYSTEMS™ use naturally derived ingredients and are free of harsh paraben sulfates, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, and dyes found in many skin care products. Z SKIN SYSTEMS™ takes pride in integrating the science of naturally derived ingredients that provide rich antioxidants, key vitamins, and essential nutrients that proactively engage healthy skin, inside and out.
