Repeat the previous step, this time going from left to right.
This style can be worn to prom as is or with the following steps you can create an updo!
To turn this into an updo, repeat the last step listed, going piece by piece.

Topically Applied Farm-to-Skin CBD Products Featuring the Brand’s Award-Winning Flower
This season, Cannaisseur Brands is re-launching its topically applied terpene-rich CBD Essentials product line with new branding, logo and packaging.The brand was founded by CBD industry expert and advocate Aryn Sieber, who consults with physicians and patients nationwide on the responsible use and medicinal benefits of cannabis. Sieber became a sought-after professional leader in the industry after using cannabis during his own battle with Stage IV cancer.CBD Essentials topically applied products are lab-formulated, third-party tested, and batch numbered to ensure quality and consistency. All CBD Essentials products feature Sieber’s award-winning flower and meet the federal requirements of the 2018 Farm Bill, which mandates that all CBD-infused products are derived from dried Cannabis Sativa L. plant material that contain less than 0.3 percent THC to be legal in the United States.
“CBD Essentials is dedicated to developing the highest quality therapeutic cannabis-infused products available,” said Ayrn Sieber, Founder of Cannaisseur Brands. “Using premium CBD flower and select terpenes in our award-winning farm-to skin formulas, the products are designed to optimize and support personal health and well-being.”
Real-world testing has shown CBD to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and to act as an antibacterial, antitumoral and antimicrobial. Studies also have shown that CBD can balance oil production in the skin. Furthermore, because the human body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) is critically responsible for the life cycle of basal skin cells, some treatments encourage the ECS with topically applied CBD in an effort to help regulate the production of healthy skin. (It is important to note that therapeutic statements for CBDproducts are not yet evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.)
CBD is non-psychoactive. Cannabinoidsare chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant that act on cannabinoid receptors in cells in the human body that alter neurotransmitter release in the brain. Ligands or bonding molecules for these receptor proteins include endocannabinoids which are naturally produced in the body. Terpenes refer to a class of compounds found in nearly every plant species including cannabis. They have been shown to influence many biological activities—including reduction of inflammation, reduced sensitivity to pain, and reduced anxiety. Terpenes and cannabinoids share a common biochemical precursor, giving them the ability to bind with different biological substances in the body, including receptors and enzymes. 
The Cannaisseur Brands Summer 2019 collection features six key products:
CBD Essentials Pain Cream—This body cream, formulated to offer pain relief for sore muscles, aching joints, and chronic skin conditions, won the Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa “Best New Product” award in 2018.

The product uses 50 mg. per oz. of premium CBD. CBDEssentials Pain Relief Cream is available in Green Tea Cucumber and Natural in sizes 1.5 oz. at a retail price of $24; 3 oz. at a retail price of $80; and 6 oz. at a retail price of $160. CBD Essentials Pain Cream is now offered in the same sizes in Extra-Strength at 100 mg. per oz.
CBD Essentials Salt Soak Concentrate—This therapeutic blend of immune-boosting, mineral-rich sea salts, combined with premium CBD and select terpenes was formulated to soothe sore muscles, reduce stress, and induce relaxation. This product won the Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa “Best New Product” award in 2019.

So look out for Rugged Evolution and its young CEO. Because as their slogan says, “Rugged IS the New Smooth”.
About Rugged Evolution:By the time Arrington Gavin, CEO, was fourteen years old he had a full beard; the last time he was cleaned shaven was for his high school graduation. Over the years, he started growing his beard again and began experimenting with different products – some he liked, some he did not. But one thing he always searched for was natural ingredients. Whether taken internally or externally, Arrington is a huge advocate of natural products.
While doing much research for the right ingredients for his beard in 2016, Arrington began to share his findings with his family and friends. He then went on to receive his Bachelor’s Degree in Wellness Recreation and Sport in 2017. His passion for the art of the human body left him with a burning desire to help individuals accomplish their personal best by living a healthy lifestyle through fitness and wellness. From that desire gave birth to Rugged Evolution – a beard care line of products that he could make available to other “men of distinction.”
Whether you are sporting a goatee, shadow or full beard, Rugged Evolution products are designed to enhance all types of hair. Our natural products nourish, moisturize and hydrate dry itchy skin that hides behind a beard.

Moon Bathing, a new renaissance
Happy Spring! Girls!
It’s the time to open your beauty inside and out.
Bathing is a regular routine for me to feel refresh and relax. It is the time that fully belong to myself. I can listen to music, watch movies, even enjoy a bottle of Champagne. Why not? Ritual bathing is on the verge of a new renaissance — and the contemporary method is to sync these botanical baths with the four phases of the moon. Based on your commitment to trends in health and wellness. So I want to introduce you a new moon bath style – bathing with Moon Bathing.
True wellness arises when we re-align ourselves with the rhythms and elements of nature. In an increasingly chaotic and over-stimulating world, Moon Bath’s bathing rituals inspire you to create space to slow down, tune in and reconnect.
Combining ancient wisdom with modern intuitive alchemy, Moon Bath curates earth integrated Botanical Bath Teas, Infused Sundance Sea Salt, Facial Rituals and Sacred Smoke aromatherapy.
Simple and natural, the products contain no synthetic chemicals or preservatives — because those don’t belong on our skin. The ethos of the modern bathing renaissance is to move beyond bathing as simply cleansing ourselves, and toward bathing as an opportunity to drink in through our skin the varied benefits of plant medicine.
They see the triple bottom line approach to business as an important way to make positive social and environmental change. Their initiatives include sustainable packaging, carbon neutrality, employment of underrepresented populations, and partnerships with socially and environmentally mission driven vendors. Moon Bath is also a proud member of 1% for the Planet, donating at least 1% of annual revenues to qualified environmental nonprofits committed to creating a healthy planet.
Inspired by living in alignment with the lunar cycles, they invite you to tune in to the rhythms of nature and create space to connect more deeply with yourself through Ayurvedic self-care rituals.
BOTANICAL BATH TEA — Lunar Collection
Moon Bath’s Lunar Blends are intentionally crafted Botanical Bath Teas that enhance your connection to the energy of each of the moon’s phases.
All of the Lunar Blends promote healthy skin, healing and relaxation — but to receive the most potent energetic benefits, Moon Bath encourages you to bathe weekly with the Bath Tea that corresponds to the current phase of the moon. The lunar cycle has four distinct moon phases: New, Waxing, Full and Waning.
INFUSED SUNDANCE SEA SALT — Milk & Honey
Slip into a warm Moon Bath sweetened with velvety Milk & Honey and drift into a state of bliss. Receive abundant healing nutrients from coconut milk, honey crystals and trace minerals from unrefined sea salt, consciously-mined from the ancient Sundance Sea in Utah. Infused with a blend of sustainably sourced essential oils, this delightful element of the bathing ritual transports you to a state of grounded calm, uplifted mind and connected Spirit.
BOTANICAL BATH TEA — Nasty Woman
Nasty Woman is a rally cry that ignites the inner passion for equality and justice, uniting the voices on behalf of the collective wellbeing. By purchasing this product, you are donating $2 to Planned Parenthood and supporting a women-owned business. Enjoy this Nasty Woman Bath Tea to be reminded of how powerful, courageous and resilient you are.
What makes you nasty?
COSMIC GLOW – Botanical Face MaskCosmic Glow removes impurities, brightens complexion, detoxifies and calms the skin using purifying Moroccan Rhassoul clay and nourishing Ayurvedic botanicals.
Integrate Sacred Smoke into your bathing ritual and ceremonies to clear energy, purify the air and create space to tune in. Our smudge blend weaves together the spiritually grounding yet uplifting essence of Frankincense, Copal, White Sage and Lavender, providing a sweet and earthy ceremonial smoke that will cleanse your space and connect you to Spirit.
Moon Bath holds a deep reverence for the plants, materials and the people involved in the production of the products. Moon Bath strives to inspire the global community to re-engage with stewardship of their precious earth and communities by taking action to reduce our environmental footprint, uplift one another, and invest in regenerative practices.
