The No Vacation Remedy @vitaliberata
Summer is almost over and with this spotty NYC weather, it is a miracle if anyone has even the slightest tan. There has been hot days, there has been humid days, there has even been some sunny days – but with no beach days for me, it is definitely a tanless summer.
I recently tried Vita Liberata – the luxury self tanner that is now available Sephora! The 2-3 week tan is gradual and lasts longer than most tanning products. pHenomenal is the World’s first 2-3 week tan. Using a special combination of natural, nourishing extracts and the unique pHenO2 technology, this tan will last up to 4 times longer than your normal tan.
It is easy to apply and didn’t look orange or streaky! I am happy with this and will wear it til at least beginning of September! It is easy to apply because it is a mousse and it comes with gloves! First you have to exfoliate but do not moisturize prior to tanning. Make sure you put on the gloves!! Then slowly apply to skin in circular movements. For a 2 – 3 week tan, apply 3 times. Leave each application on for 3 – 24 hours before showering and applying the next application.Hoping for more sun in this weekend!

Funny Socks Monthly @FootCardigan
Funny socks always tell you a lot about someone. When I was in Detroit for the Ford Trend Conference, the first thing I noticed about Seth Godin was that he was wearing really unique sock that didn’t match. What a fun way of having a little giggle to yourself stylishly all day.
My friend’s wedding pics from Brooklyn also featured awesome socks on the groom.
Socks lock in moisturizer for smooth feet, but don’t just rock any sock. Foot Cardigan is a silly sock-subscription that turns your feet into fashionistas, and every month you’ll have a new pair in your collection.
When I went to Hong Kong, I got these clear rain boots so now I must have more fun socks to wear with them! They come in a range of sizes, colors and designs. The fun part is you never know what you are going to get each month. See all the fun #sockstgram pics: http://footcardigan.com/sockstagram

Get in the ZONE with @anticagirl
With a hectic busy schedule always, I need a few things to get into my zone to just relax and meditate. One of these thing is of course a beautiful candle. Check out the Antica Farmacista Candles. It burns for 60 hours and comes in beautiful scents that are not overbearing like Prosecco. Top notes of Satsuma citrus balance with subtle floral notes of muguet. Apricot and passionfruit complement the sweetness of sugared black currant. A crisp scent celebrating the sparkling effervescence of Prosecco and Champagne.
Put on the candle, and then I can relax. Sigh, this is a perfect Sunday.

For the past 3 weeks, I have been using the new DNAEGF Night Renewal Serum and my face has never been more radiant. With such extensive research and lifelong commitment to skincare, Dr. Ron Moy recently launched his own skincare line, DNAEGF Renewal, which marks the culmination of his passion to create a clinically proven regimen that effectively repairs photo damaged aging skin.

The texture of my skin has really improved because the cream [DNA/EGF Renewal] adds DNA repair enzymes to the skin. This gives skin extra protection, helps repair bad cells and pre-cancers.
Besides the gorgeous packaging and the pump feature, the best thing about this product is that it is fragrance free and you only need to use a little to get maximum result. I fight night creams do the most for the revitalization of my skin.DNA Night Renewal is formulated “silicone and sunflower seed oil to expedite healing and DNA repair enzymes and beta glucans to replenish and strengthen the damaged, discolored skin.”
This summer I just turned 29 and it is so important to learn all about protecting my skin and anti-aging products!

At Home Spa Treatments with @ClaySpray
I have an early memory when I was 3 or 4 of my mom with her glass jar of Borghese mud mask and coming around the corner saying boo! I was both scared and intrigued at how this grotesque clay can actually beautify your skin! I remember wanting to do it with my mom and thinking it would be so cool to try it. Of course she told me this is something I can do when I grow up, along with lipstick, mascara but I could wear a bit of perfume. My mom has always taken great care of her skin and looks gorgeous and much younger than her actual age!
In a blink of an eye, I am 29 and clay masks have become a part of my monthly beauty routine to detox my face of impurities. This at home spa mask is really fun because I can do it at my own convenience, right before a shower and playing on my iPad. It is easy, fast and I am always looking to try new versions of beauty masks.
The ClaySpray is unique in it’s packing, ingredients and its fresh approach to this ancient beauty routine. I recently tried the Glow Red Clay with Cacao Masque from ClaySpray and it was fantastic! The clay comes in a pump top can and it is quick, mess free and easy to use. You only need a little for your whole face and the texture is like Nutella. First spray your face with the water spray then apply the clay quickly. Se you can see on the tip of my nose, it started to dry already. Once the whole mask changes colors. you know that it is ready to be washed off!
The nourishing power of antioxidant rich cacao aids cell regeneration and neutralises the damaging effect of free radicals. I used this for glowing, healthy, and radiant looking skin. The Glow Red Clay Masque instantly adds a boost of radiance to dull skin. The mineral rich formula includes iron to activate circulation, silica to boost collagen, alongside nourishing cacao, which is rich in anti-oxidants to rejuvenate. The restoring clay exfoliates and restores the skin’s surface revealing a glowing and healthy looking complexion.
The process was so easy!
1. Spray or moisten skin with natural mineral water.
2. Dispense product into your hand and massage into the area to be treated. Avoid contact with eyes.
3. Leave on until dry.
4. Wash skin with water until clay is removed

All You Need for Cherry Season
Cherry season is here! One of the best fruits of summer, I was so excited when I saw cherries for sale at the market this weekend. My grandma has a cherry tree in her yard and every summer we picked them before the birds could eat them all. Cherries, like peaches and apricots have pits in them. This makes them difficult to put in a smoothie, baking recipe or any desserts. I always used raspberries or strawberries as an option in those situations but now I don’t have to! If you are a cherry love like me, you HAVE to get the CHERRY CHOPPER.
This is a cherry pitter and works the way a hole puncher does. It collects all the pits on the bottom and is the most adorable addition to my kitchen recently.
It is by far the fastest and easiest way to pit cherries. The Cherry Chomper is also dishwasher safe. The key to making this work the best is the place the cherry stem side up and at the center of the device.
If you want to bake but you are way too lazy to get fresh cherries, you can use Cherry Man Maraschino Cherries. I recently got to try these and they are fantastic! They are ALL natural and taste different then what you buy in the baking aisle at the supermarket. Cherry aficionados can happily reach into a jar of red jewels with complete abandon knowing the sweet treat is fat-free, gluten-free, sodium-free, kosher, contains no high-fructose corn syrup, and has just two grams of sugar per cherry.
Each jar of Farm to Market Maraschinos™ has a unique QR code that can be scanned to reveal the exact origins of the fruit and the story behind the growers. CherryMan cherries are primarily supplied by family farms in the Northwest corner of Michigan as well as Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Some of these families have their roots in agriculture dating back to the 1800s and orchard sizes range from less than five acres to more than 200. So whether you’re mixing up a Manhattan or creating the perfect banana split, these cherries are homegrown in the USA.
I used them to make Almond Cherry bread in muffin tins today. YUM!
Hope you have a cherry filled summer 😀
