Summer is upon us!

Ahhh, the dog days of summer; those lazy, hazy, crazy days...say what?  Our lives are busy as always, summer or not, aren't they!  Kids are home, we want to do things and see everyone.  Time just keeps whizzing by no matter what the season.

We need to protect our skin and our hair as we are out and about.  Our daily routine needs to be simple so we can do it fast.  It is not so hard, cleanse, tone and moisturize every morning, then protect!  I love this sunscreen, it is a product I am not afraid to apply to my face.  Spectrum SPF 50+   (depending on which moisturizer I use, and how much I will actually be in the sun, it may be in my foundation)

Next my Brown Sugar Creme Eyeshadow (my personal favorite when I am trying to make it all happen quickly), mascara, a brushing from my browkit,  and I am ready to run out the door, lipshine in hand.  Quick and simple, great start to a full day, whether I am running around all day or lazing around, a hat on my hair I am protected and glowing.  

Now, to keep my cool, a spritz of makeup setting spray, which may be found in my purse at any time to refresh me if I am feeling the heat (yes, it actually lowers your body temperature)  All and more available from www.timelessbeauty4u.com.  

Enjoy your holiday weekend, enjoy your friends and family.  As you go out to barbecues, watch parades, enjoy the beaches,  boating, parks, or what ever you are doing, keep your cool and remember the great nation that we celebrate next week and the work the founding fathers did to get our freedom and liberty.  

GOD BLESS YOU AND THE USA!

Skin Care

Skin Care

What is your skin care regime?  Do you have special needs or concerns?  No matter what your skin type, you need to  use a toner following your cleanser.  Cleansing you skin changes the ph of your skin.  Not to be scientific with you, using toner will bring your ph back to normal so that your skin will be better able to absorb your moisturizer.

If you visit www,timelessbeauty4u.com you will be able to take a free skin care analysis with recommendations based on the answers you give to your skin.  We also have kits available that give you a discount on packages such as a 29% savings on Timeless Prescription® and Skintelligence®     Value Kit (which pulls several top recommended products from two of our lines) or 22% for Cellular Laboratories® Value Kit. 

What I love about our skin care is that they are made to synergistically work together, even if you pull from different lines.  I personally use Cellular Labs De-Ageing Crème at night and Lumiere de Vie during the day. 

So, back to skin care and the “how to”…you need to cleanse, tone, moisturize and use sun block EVERY DAY.  The burning effects of the sun (uvb rays) will penetrate glass, which means, even if you are in your care, you are setting yourself up for “sun damage” no matter what your age.  If it is not in your skin care or foundation, you need to add it to 

your skin care regimen. 

Summer is upon us, take good care of your skin and it will take care of your beauty timelessly. 

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

We are currently visiting Knoxville TN where our son is attending Johnson University.  It is encouraging to come here from the northeast where we recently had two feet of snow. 

 As we drive along the roads, near and in the Smoky Mountains, it is beautiful.  I have seen hints of pink on trees and daffodils in bloom...a picture of what lies ahead for us in NY.

After winter, thoughts of the renewal of Spring is lovely and encouraging.  Spring is a gift!  God has given us so many gifts and the changing seasons is one.  Spring is refreshing and a good time to come out of hibernation.  

For some, like myself it is a time to refocus on how I fuel my body and how I use up the fuel I put into it.   I look forward to leisurely walks, energetic walks, but most of all spending time out in the beautiful world God has given me to enjoy! 

As I start to enjoy the outside, work to be more fit (reminding my self of my one word for the year is Intentional) I will intentionally be making decisions for making my beauty to come from the inside out.  My prayer is for inward beauty to shine as I make choices in life this spring.

Keep your Cool!

The weather in the north east has been beautiful; good for walking and working outside.  We should be heating up in the next few days.  The heat makes us slow down a bit, which isn't such a bad thing, is it.  Sometimes we need a little push to go in that direction.

If you work out, run, walk, bike, it is best to hit it early; I say this as opposed to late because the sun is out so early...it's a good thing.  Make sure to hydrate with plenty of water before, after and throughout the day
TWO OF MY FAVORITE PRODUCTS TO HELP ME FEEL REFRESHED WHEN I AM HOT:



http://www.shop.com/Skintelligence+reg+pH+Skin+Normalizer-559053511-p+.xhtml
This, kept in the refrigerator, refreshes me when I am hot and bothered by the heat.  It contains antioxidants and all good things so it has added benefits other than cooling you and adding a little extra moisture.  This product also is helpful if you have a headache because of the Lemongrass Extract.


http://www.shop.com/Motives+reg+10+Years+Younger+Makeup+Setting+Spray-536366061-p+.xhtml
This I cannot say enough about!  It keeps your makeup fresh looking longer (very important in high heat and humidity)... but keep it in your purse to spritz when you get hot.  Not only helps your body temperature drop, keeps your makeup from settling into fine lines as it keeps skin hydrated.  You can find many more age defying products and tips at http://www.timelessbeauty4u.biz/

With summer upon us this week, long hot days ahead, I will do my best to keep my cool, especially while at the same time I am implementing a routine fitness program into my lifestyle.

May your days be blessed and may your beauty continue both from the inside and on the surface.  See within yourself the beauty God has bestowed in you!

The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.  Audrey Hepburn

BACK ON TRACK

It is definately time for me to get back on track with this blog... it has been far too long!  I am just coming down from a very exciting weekend in Australia.  As a matter of fact, my husband and I have been here for nearly three weeks already and ill be heading back home one week from today.

As our body clocks have been turned upside down, sleep is prime importance to us.  We are getting into this time zone and will be turning ourselves back upside down again.  Sleep is so important for our mental and physical well being!  As soon as we get home, we have this waiting for us... http://www.marketamerica.com/index.cfm?action=shopping.wpGoShopProducts&skuID=13123

Did you know that a lack of sleep can actually accelerate the aging process.  As we enter our prime years, we seem to have a harder time sleeping through the night.  Drugs are not a good solution because there can also be so many side effects from them.  

So, if you are having trouble sleeping through the night, why not look for better ways to sleep through.  Make a regular bedtime routine, perhaps a nice relaxing bath to clam down. (Much better than an action filled TV program, wouldn't you think?)  Then you can read something to encourage you and finally, if that does not work for you, go the natural route.  Created with new technological breakthroughs in the anti-aging field, Prime Dreamz is a unique product designed for anyone who is having trouble with restful sleep.  It contains Magnesium (a mineral many of us are short on) along with herbs that will help you fall into a restful deep sleep and wake up in great form.  

Get your beauty sleep to feel refreshed, energized and look your best!
