    NUTRITIONISTE ULTRA-LIFT @GarnierCAN Transformer Anti-Aging Skin Corrector

    My mom was so nice to test out a new Garnier product for me called the Ultra Lift Transformer.

    She says, “it is not too oily, nor creamy. It has a trace of scent makes her feel good. Her skin immediately felt smooth and it is not sticky at all”

    garn

    momMy mom has beautiful skin and even in her early 60’s she hardly needs makeup, foundation to look absolutely glamorous.  This moisturizer comes out white but adapts to your skin tone.  You can use it for daily transformation. Experience younger-looking skin from the 1st contact. Upon application, skin is more even, luminous, and fine lines look reduced. Our auto-adjusting formula, with Pro-Retinol and micro-pigments, works over time so that wrinkles look reduced, skin feels firmer, and younger-looking.  I hope my skin look great like my mom and grandma when I get to their age.

    If you are looking for something lighter than a BB cream and less than foundation, give this new Garnier product a try!

    The LBD to add to your Wardrobe @MaggyLondon

    Another LBD?  There is nothing more essential in your wardrobe than a Little Black Dress.  The Maggy London Illusion Dress is different than all the ones in you have and you definitely need it. It is the LBD dress to end all LBD’s. At only $148, this little stunner is a must-have statement piece for any closet. The Illusion dress is dramatized with a sheer neckline and cap sleeves trimmed in black. It is sophisticated as it is sexy. A sweetheart bodice lends glamour and allure to the retro-inspired silhouette. The illusion top is delicately gathered, drawing the eye to the décolleté. Fitted throughout the torso, and highlighted with vertical seams, the style is instantly slenderizing.

    Seven Acts of Canine Kindness

    Did you know that this month marks not only Valentine’s Day, but Random Acts of Kindness month, too? This is a great reminder to always treat ours, and others’, best friends with love, compassion and understanding.

    Our four-legged family members give us their affection and loyalty each and every day.  February is a great time to remind ourselves what we can do for them. This is a particularly good time to teach families who may have a new puppy or dog the respect and commitment that our best friends everywhere need, too!  Here are our seven tips to show kindness to best friends this month (and all year long)

    “An innovative scent requires an innovative source of inspiration and HUGO Red is a great example of this. We wanted to create a perfume for men that captures the idea of pushing boundaries and to achieve this we found an unexpected parallel with the behavior of cold and hot metal. The result of our creation is a contemporary blend of contrasting ingredients, full of cold and hot tension that stimulates the wearer and leaves him feeling energized and ready to challenge himself.” – Will Andrews, P&G Fragrance Creation Team and unique talent, making him a natural fit with the HUGO brand and the HUGO Red concept. In his own words, “I think creativity and pushing boundaries go hand in hand, and originality comes from individuals who are willing to take chances, to bet on themselves”.
