I’ve Been To Heaven…But Now I’m Back…Sort Of.
No worries though as, I did manage to write down the address so we can go back anytime. Our beloved Get Even More Gorgeous With Beauty Marked! Blog post is a lot late today because I was off early this morning to have one of the most divine beauty treatments I have had in a long while. I went to Stone Soul for a Crystal Balancing Facial and boy was it heavenly. Part of what was so magnificent about the facial is that it is paired with a Crystal Eyes add-on treatment which starts with a fantastic chakra balancing meditation which sends you into a gloriously deep state of relaxation that just further amps up the celestial quality of the hot and cold stone facial. It’s now several hours post my treatment, but it’s only now that I can attempt to shift the ethereal state of heavenly bliss I have been enveloped in only ever so slightly, so I can make a start on the work I have gladly let pile up thanks to the angels at Stone Soul. Since I’m only prepared to shift this state of heavenly bliss ever-so-slightly to write this post, the rest of my day’s doings and need doings will have to wait until tomorrow. I’m just having too much fun floating on cloud 9. I am sure you’ll be hearing lots more about the little bit of the empyrean that’s located at Stone Soul ? Organic Beauty & Natural Wellness Therapies 3/189 Darling Street Balmain, NSW Australia (02) 9555 1102. There really is a heaven here on earth and it’s just splendid!

The Progressive Pedicure.
The other day a new client of mine said to me that she dreads the strappy summer sandal season because she never has time for a pedicure and is always embarrassed about the state of her feet. Just for a moment, a rather surreal moment, after hearing this, I had a very dark and chilling thought about life without the possibility of pedicure, I shivered for a second and then popped back to the magic of present moment of all things mani and pedicured. Needless to say, I felt for her. No time for a pedicure? No time to feel fabulous and confident in gorgeous summer shoes? *shivers again and races back to my happy place*
Then I asked this lovely lass if she’d ever thought of a progressive pedicure? A progressive pedi might indeed be the salvation for her sole. *idea* All you need to do for a progressive pedi is to scrub your feet, especially the heels and balls of your feet and around the skin along the sides and bottom of your big toes with a pumice stone when showering daily, which takes like…a minute. Then when your drying your feet, make sure to firmly rub to dry all over your feet as this does wonders to further slough off dead skin. Then moisturize your feet, as post showering is ideal. At some stage, take the opportunity to clip your toe nails and file them short and squarish. That can be all that’s done at this time.
On the next opportunity you have a hot minute post your daily pumice, firm dry, and moisturizing session, push your cuticles back carefully and paint your toes with a base coat. If you prefer toes sans polish, just gently push your cuticles back, buff your clean, clipped, and square-filled nails and leave it at that. If you do decide to polish your nails, just do a coat at a time. You can do a lightening-fast coat a day or a coat between chores etc.. It’s lucky for us, that toe nails that are cut short and squared will actually hold a neater polish longer. When you have finally managed to polish your toes completely and follow up with a top coat, they will stay looking dazzling for sometime. Especially, if we continue to moisturize after showering. You can also do a quick slick of top coat every few days to ensure that your nail polish remain in good nick. So there you have it. Great looking feet that are in fantastic form before you know it! Do enjoy!

No Magic…Just Pure Majesty!
That’s it in a nutshell really. Thanks to L’Oréal Paris the glorious elder stateswomen in our lives can still work it like they always have. L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation is a gorgeously formulated foundation specially designed for women in their 50’s and beyond. L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation capably assists women to continue to beautify skin that may require special considerations based on its maturity. Concerns like drier, finer skin, deeper wrinkles, localized redness, and pigmentation patches are addressed and made light work of with graceful efficacy when using L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation.
L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation draws on the revolutionary technology developed specifically for the L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Pro-Calcium SPF 15 range. The formula is enriched with Dermopeptides and Collagen Boost, which help to stimulate skin, plus Vita-Collagen (a combination of Vitamin E and Marine Collagen), which works to protect the epidermis from oxidation, dehydration and dryness, in order to restore its strength and vitality. Skin feels more supple, is re-plumped and looks noticeably rejuvenated. L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation also draws on a new-generation patented texture from L’Oréal Research. The formula contains silicone elastomers which are able to blur the complexion’s textural changes that often result with maturity by diffusing light.
Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation also features an exclusive combination of anti-redness pigments, which neutralize the complexion’s unintended colour variations, and a ‘reflector’ complex to reveal skin’s radiant healthy looking glow. The complexion is re-unified and worrisome markings and pigmentation patches are concealed without accentuating wrinkles.
L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation also has a fresh and sumptuous texture to it and sets to a moisturizing, non-greasy nor powdery finish. The delectable finish of L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation is no doubt due to the silky blend of silicone elastomers which allows the foundation to glide over and sit comfortably on the the skin and is effortless and uniform in its application.
L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation is just perfect, much like the majestic woman wearing it!
Castor Oil Does More Than Get You Going.
Seriously, did you know that castor oil is the main ingredient in most nonprescription brow growth products? Cheap as chips too. All you need to do is get a hold of some castor oil and a cotton bud. Funnily enough, getting a hold of some castor oil might prove to be the trickiest part of the operation. I nabbed a bottle from my local supermarket in the aisle that houses the things that get you going the good old fashioned way. *blush* But when you do find some castor oil… dip the cotton bud lightly into the cap of the castor oil. Next, gently run the bud over the back of your hand to rub off excess castor oil. After you’re satisfied that you only have the tiniest amount of the castor oil on your cotton bud, gently wipe the bud across your eyebrows and onto the section where you’d like to have more brows. Mind you, the operative word here is “tiniest”, otherwise you will have an ecological disaster on your hands. This oil slick will only add insult to injury by potentially causing breakouts, further highlighting any brow issues! Apply the castor oil treatment as often as you can, especially at the end of the day after cleansing and moisturizing for the night. In fact, this time is ideal. Thanks to this nifty trick, Robert’s your mother’s brother and you’ll have fabbo brows in no time. Sweet!
