Keeping Your Beauty

Summer Makeup Saver: Mineral Powder Sunscreens

You know how it is in the summer. You put your face on in the morning and by noon it has melted off your face. Instead of reaching for your trusty blotting powder, why not consider one with SPF? Personally I’m really into mineral powder sunscreens these days. I know I’m a little insane with SPF, but I use a SPF primer and then usually apply either an SPF liquid foundation, BB Cream or mineral powder foundation. So I’m good to go when I walk out the door. However, I now make sure to keep a powder brush-on broad spectrum mineral powder sunscreen in my makeup bag to apply throughout the day. Why?

Why I Love Sassoon Salon & A Giveaway!

Carol and I have been having our hair cut and colored at Sassoon Salons for nearly 11 years! Our relationship with Sassoon began in Chicago so when I moved to NYC in ’07 I simply transitioned seamlessly to their downtown location and Carol still continues to go in Chicago. But, this post is about my experience. Head colorist Hamid Latif has therefore been coloring my hair for nearly 9 years and he is the master and is without a doubt the best I have ever encountered and I have been coloring my hair for a long time. Every 6-8 weeks when I walk in he asks me what I want to do and I always answer, “whatever you think” because I trust him implicitly. Lately we have taken my hair a little blonder – as the greys increase I am heading down that road to platinum and am literally turning into my mother.

Dove For Children’s Sensitive Skin and Summer Suncare Tips

I first met Dove Pediatrician Dr. Jen Trachtenberg (we simply called Dr. Jen) at a Dove event this past winter. She was actually my lunch partner and we talked about my younger son’s skin rashes – among other things. Let’s face it, when you have a pediatrician sitting next to you, you are going to take full advantage. So she recommended I try Dove Sensitive Beauty Bar for my son’s skin and sure enough it worked! It’s mild, hypoallergenic and fragrance-free…no wonder it’s the #1 pediatrician recommended bar.

Ultherapy: A Non-Invasive Way To Tighten Your Turkey Neck

For the past I’d say 3 years I have noticed my neck starting to go – as in sagging. Ug. I have tried using neck creams, tightening creams and basically ANYTHING that promises a tighter neck. They don’t really work. I may I feel a slight tightening, but I needed something a little more drastic and going under the knife to have my neck pulled back, especially at my age is not really appealing. Yet when I think back to John Cage’s “neck waddle” obsession on Ally McBeal I want to punch something. It’s not funny.
