Prior To Proceeding To Boarding Gate.
When traveling by airplane, your skin is likely to to dry out from the cabin air if left to its own devices. Prior to flying, apply liberal amounts of quality moisturizer to your face, hands, body, and lip balm to your lips (preferably petroleum free). Although high maintenance and not entirely integral, water spritzes are effective, but only if applied often during the flight. But, and it’s a big but, if you water spritz without ensuring that a liberal amount of moisturizer has been applied and quite possibly reapplied prior to spritzing, you’ll soon end up with ultra dehydrated and ashen skin. More than likely, not the effect you were going for. Perhaps the water is best drunken and not spritzed. (That sounds rather Bond-ish doesn’t it?) So before heading on-board, do make sure you’ve got yourself all moisturized-up and expect a great flight!
Flip Flops And Popsicle Toes!
What more could you need to be in good step this summer? I can’t think of much more. But then again, I just can’t get enough of brights this season, especially when it comes to dashing digits. We are currently in the midst of the coolest collaboration I’ve ever seen where all things tootsies are concerned. KIT Cosmetics and Havaianas have put their gorgeous heads together and come up with this delicious LE Brazilian holiday-inspired KIT nail polish and Havaianas flip flop collection.

This delectable and utterly drool-worthy quartet is performing in all KIT stores now, but only while stocks last! Too cute!
Changing Sides.
I had to laugh at myself the other day. I went to learn about an Australian hair care range that has recently repackage all of their offerings and added a few other new bits and bobs to the range. So as part of the reintroduction to the range, they washed and blew dried my hair using various products and tools from the collection. So basically, it was just a meet and greet for my hair so to speak. All this to say, I was in the groove and pleased to learn about and experience the products (I think it was the fabbo head massage that really sucked me in) until the hairdresser said, “Okay, I’m done. I hope you like it.”
My eyes bugged out of my head. Eep! “Done?”, I said. Gulp. But as I was gaping at my reflection in the mirror, all I could see or rather couldn’t see was NO part. Oh, my goodness. I have had a part in my hair for the better part of…well, let’s say forever. Admittedly, my hair did look lovely, but I thought it would have suited someone else’s head better. You know what I mean? Between you and me, I worried if I stood up from the chair, would I topple over or something, be consumed by a sort of strange waxy catatonia, or possibly loose my command of speech? These bizarre thoughts did race through my mind. Well I’m pleased to say that I was able to muster a gracious thank you for the hairdresser and make my way fleet-footedly out of the salon. Right. First stop: my car’s rear-view mirror. After several deep breaths and few strategic shakes of my head a part returned. Phew. But oddly enough, it was not on my long standing right side, but on my left! What do ya know? As I was so pleased to see a part return, I didn’t care in the slightest that it was on my left side. In fact, it really worked. For some reason, my hair seemed to gain a bit of height at the crown and looked quite fresh. Go figure? It was the wackiest thing. Tell me I’m not the only one to wonder about their fate if they ever changed sides or if they’d live to tell about it?
Just A Wee Nag.
Just a little reminder that sunscreen is good stuff. Truly. Just think of its texture as liquid love. Okay, maybe greasy, goopy love, but love all the same. Sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB and no less than SPF 30 is always the go. It matters not if you prefer to wear it in your foundation, moisturizer, or neat but that you do wear it. Also, be sure to apply and reapply sunscreen liberally and regularly as that’s key to ensuring its greatest effectiveness. After all, there’s only one of your abundantly beautiful self and you owe it to the rest of us to make sure you keep it that way. Cool Bananas!
CARITA And Nothing More.
If we lived in an ideal/UV-free world, there would be just one product that one wouldn’t want to be without and quite frankly only one product that one might just possibly need. This exceptional beauty product comes from the same place that legends are made of: La Maison De Beauté CARITA Paris. I’m talking the super luxurious CARITA Fluide De Beauté 14 Pailleté. Fluide De Beauté 14 Pailleté is an ultra-nourishing dry oil that is eagerly absorbed by the skin and hair leaving the most beguiling, subtle golden veil. This legendary potion not only nourishes the skin, but moisturizes and transforms it into its very supple best. The genuine gold glitters it generously contains, illuminate and beautify the skin. The fragrance of the unique CARITA Fluide De Beauté 14 Pailleté fragrance subsumes an ethereal mix of lemon, bergamot, orange, verbena, musk, and Lily of the Valley. It really doesn’t get much better than this.
To enter into the beautiful world of CARITA visit www.carita.com or telephone (within Australia) 1800 808 993 and enjoy!
Puffy Eyes?
Yep, sliced cucumber actually does work a treat when applied to your puffy peepers. It looks gorgeously retro-fab too, if you ask me. Although much less glamourous, sliced potato will also do the job nicely. Who would of thunk it? It actually does pay not to eat your veggies sometimes. Do be sure to keep these nifty numbers up your sleeve (or perhaps in your crisper) for times when you’re fresh out of your preferred potion and need to de-puff in a hurry.
