I don’t know if you’ve ever had tooth sensitivity at all, but I have a couple of spots in my mouth that given the chance I could complain about a lot when it comes to the pain that occurs when I eat or drink something really cold, or when I go to the dentist.

Celebrity hair colorist Rita Hazan recently introduced the newest in her Ultimate Shine Color Gloss collection in the following forumlas: Brown, Red, and Blonde.

The Ulitmate Shine Color Gloss ads lustrous shine to help color-treated hair maintain its vibrancy between salon visits.  After spending countless hours in the laboratory perfecting each shade, Hazan is pleased to expand her existing line (which included Breaking Brass and Clear Gloss) to address these specialized hair colors.

Unless you live under a rock I bet you’ve seen that essential oils are a big deal lately.  There are plenty of them on the market and one of the ones that is really versatile is melaleuca oil also known as Tea Tree Oil.   Tea tree oil may be effective in a variety of dermatologic conditions including dandruff, acne, lice, and other skin infections.

I don’t get out to the spa much…oh who am I kidding, I don’t get out to the spa at all.  The last time I stepped foot in one was six years ago.  If you’re a mom with younger kids and a tight budget, you know how it is.  By the time every one else is looked after in the family – there’s nothing leftover for you to splurge a bit on yourself!

L’Oréal Paris Visible Lift Blur Foundation is L’Oréal Paris’ first makeup with exclusive blur technology formulated to instantly blur lines and wrinkles. Signs of aging disappear as Visible Lift Blur Foundation hides dark spots, large pores and smooths uneven texture so you get a flawless finish you can see and feel.

On May 29th, Hearst Books released 7 Years Younger Instant Makeovers!

It is the latest book in the trusted anti-aging series, 7 Years Younger. The first book, 7 Years Younger, was a New York Times best seller and was backed by Dr. Oz!  The second, 7 Years Younger: The Anti-Aging Breakthrough Diet, has been a runaway hit with readers.

I’m a big advocator of dental health.  See, my parents had good dental insurance and we always did the 2x a year checkups, but they weren’t sticklers for the brushing 3x a day or the flossing.  So I brushed in the mornings and at nights if I wasn’t “running late” or “too tired.”  Then I graduated high school and suddenly found myself without insurance.  So it was years before I visited the dentist, because I had better things to do with my money, ya know?!  When I got married I was hooked up again with some great dental insurance through my husband’s work and went to to the dentist for a cleaning.

I don’t know a woman out there who doesn’t want healthy, flawless skin.  Many people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m 40.  They say I look so young.  Really, I think it’s my height, because I’m so petite people just naturally gauge me to be younger than I am.  LOOK at my face I say (and my grey hair!), you don’t need a magnifying glass to see the fine lines that are starting to show up.

Monsia has done the research to find what truly causes the skin to prematurely age and how to delay, minimize and even reverse the signs of aging.  One can prevent, repair and even reverse the effects of aging and skin damage.  But vibrant, youthful and healthy skin starts with good skin care.

This is a total girl post as indicated by the blog post title, so if there are any guys reading this well you can just move along now until I put up another post.

I was trying sundresses on at the store the other day and when looking in the mirror I realized just how pale and un-summer (is that a word?) ready my skin actually is.  So I decided to do a round-up of products that will help me (and maybe you!) get my skin from face to toes ready in no time to enjoy the summer sun.
