Soft dewy skin is a must and hydration is the key to keeping it firm and deliciously ethereal. Hydration and oil are two different things and many equate moisture to breakouts and oil slicks. The key is quenching the upper layers of the skin with nutrients and hydration Hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to give you that radiant luminescence. It’ll also help push out invasive aggressors like toxins and restore your natural luminosity. We recommend you guzzle down eight 8 oz. glasses of water a day and add boosters to your hydration like Camu Camu or B12 complexes in order to optimize your body’s regenerative abilities. FOR BOLD SEXY EYES, WE LIKE…  Eyeko London’s EYE DO liquid liner. You won’t find a deeper black than this award winning precision marker with its smooth handling and lash enhancing properties. Stay as close to the lash- line to create that subtle look. Go bolder for a dramatic cat-eye look. FOR  AMAZING BROWS  Longer thicker brows are usually associated with youth. Fuller brows have made a comeback and you need not look further to the first family of reality television to see how an aptly constructed brow (and fabulous contouring) keeps the eyes lingering. The secret is to recreate the look as in your baby pic- tures. Fill in the brows in a way that resembles your past self. Define and blend with a spoolie, brush to subtly enhance. When in doubt- don’t pluck. It’ll take time but it took you years of over plucking to get here, many underestimate the power of an arch built from the top. We Like…Anastasia Beverly Hills – BROW GENIUS is incredibly smart. Get natural looking, beautifully bold brows by swiping their clear waterproofing gel & BROW GENIUS LOOSE POWDER along the gaps on your arch. Blend and fight off the suitors.   FOR AN INVITING SEDUCTIVE SCENT… The key is quality ingredients. You’d be surprised how well the spicy bite of tobacco leaves intermin- gles with amber resin or myrrh. The scent should be alluring-not imposing. Spring time balances, earthy musks with citrus or herby finishes.One of our favorites… SACRED WOOD by Kilian The earthy scents of this fragrance reminds us of nature. Sacred Wood works harmoniously well with virtually everyone. Best part of all, it’s unisex.     FOR SEDUCTIVE HAIR… Spring is synonymous for lush ladylike locks. Soft tousled waves sculpt and enhance your sexiness by giving the face dimension and softening your silhouette. Again, hydration is the key and polished volume is achievable by saturating your hair with nutrients and protection to ward off frizz. Quench your parched mane by conditioning your ends daily and using targeted products to give you that extra protection.       We Recommend… technology that reduces styling time and allows larger sections to be styled. ghd eclipse the latest addition to its roster of intuitive thermal stylers. It not only smooths out the frizz to create sleek poker- straight looks but has the ability to create loose flowy waves with its tri-zone For that glamerous hollywood look spray on your favorite thermal protector, glide through tresses and twirl for seductive sexy waves. Be sure to hold the waves in place and let them cool before applying your favorite products and flipping around that sexy volume.     FOR A FLAWLESS TO DIE FOR SKIN, WE RECOMMEND… Urban Decay Naked skin weightless ultra definition foundation. This foundation is weightless and virtually invisible. It creates the luminous but demi-matte finish we love. As an everyday foundation , this product helps you achieve a natural illuminated finish. It comes in a great range of shades and the coverage is buildable.

THE TRUTH ABOUT HANGOVERS

/

          by Ingrid Macher Okay, so you had some fun last night. But you ended up drinking too much and now you’re paying for it. Oops! Chances are… if your pounding headache allows you to, you’re probably searching the internet for cures for your hangover. But you need to be careful with that because there’s a lot of misinformation out there. And it turns out… a lot of commonly shared cures for hangovers aren’t just ineffective… but can actually harm your health. Don’t worry though… I’m about to give you the truth… and help you get over that hangover quickly. Make the pain go away. When we aren’t feeling good, we want that pain to go away fast. So we often rely on pain medication as a quick fix to get over whatever’s ailing us. Have you ever heard the term, “Take two Tylenol and call it a day?” Well it turns out… Tylenol is one of the worst things you can take when you’re hung over! Because Tylenol contains a substance called acetaminophen. That’s what makes it effective at getting rid of your headache. The only problem is, it places a burden on your liver. And if your liver is in a vulnerable state (like it is after drinking), you can end up with liver damage! So stay away from the Tylenol. If you need that quick fix pain reliever, stick to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen. Does coffee give you energy? Since you’re usually feeling lifeless the day after a night of drinking, it makes sense you’d want to drink some coffee for a quick “pick me up”. But as tempting as that may sound, coffee may be one of the worst things you can drink! Why? Because coffee contains a lot of caffeine, which dehydrates you! And if you’re feeling the standard hangover symptoms of a pounding headache and dry mouth, then you’re already dehydrated! The last thing you need is to start flushing out more water (which coffee does, since it’s a diuretic). So if you need a little boost of energy, what should you do? Well, oolong tea is a great alternative to coffee. It contains much less caffeine… and more vital nutrients, which you’re also depleted of after drinking. Another option is to drink water with a squirt of fresh lemon. Water is the substance your body needs most after drinking. You desperately need to rehydrate yourself. And the lemon adds minerals and antioxidants. But a third alternative many people don’t know about… is coconut oil. It is one of the best foods you can eat for a quick burst of energy. It’s made up of special fats that are instantly used for energy (instead of stored around your waist). It’s also a strong natural antibiotic known for its immune boosting properties. So taking down a spoonful of the stuff can get you going quickly. Put the booze away. Another myth often spread is that drinking more alcohol in the morning will help make the hangover go away. This is because hangovers happen when your body rapidly returns your blood alcohol level to zero. So by drinking again, you can delay the process and ease the pain. The only problem is, all this does is delay the inevitable. By drinking again, you’re putting your body under a heavy burden of stress at a time it’s already depleted. Not to mention… drinking so regularly is a dangerous path you don’t want to go down. So when your night ends, so should your drinking. So then what should you do? Well, take some ibuprofen, rehydrate yourself, give yourself an energy boost with some coconut oil, and then be sure to eat nutritious foods to start putting the minerals back in your body. When you follow those steps, you’ll get over your hangover the healthy way.
