Q. Can an ionic blow dryer really make my hair shinier? A. It can! Ionic hairdryers emit negative ions. The negative ions break apart water droplets into small pieces allowing the hair to absorb the moisture and also allowing water to evaporate faster.  This means less hot air blowing on your hair which reduces damage to your hair from the heat.  The negative ions also reduce frizz by compressing the cuticle making hair shinier and softer. You don't have to pay a lot for a good negative ion blow dryer unless you want too!  You may also like The Good Hair Diet           Have a Beautiful Day!  xo Jill Licensed Cosmetologist,  Esthetician,  Makeup Artist PS: Thanks for using my amazon 💋 As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.

Are you looking for an amazing blue green metallic nail polish? I am obsessed with this fabulous  nail color.  Zoya Hazel    Hazel is a blue green with a fabulous silvery metallic finish and a lovely brightness about it. It also has a bit of gold in it so it looks like it changes in different lighting just like hazel eyes change in different light!  Sometimes, Hazel looks more blue. Sometimes, it looks more green. Sometimes, it looks very silver and sometimes, a bit more gold. The picture above was taken in indoor lighting. It applies smooth and easy with opaque coverage in 2 coats. The glittery particles are smooth on the nails. You can't feel any roughness even without a top coat. Some of my clients hate the feel of rough nail polish. Here is Zoya Hazel outside during the afternoon in the shade. And here is Zoya Hazel sparkling in the afternoon sun! Isn't it so gorgeous!  I l ove it!  It's a summertime favorite with my clients as w...

Chocolate is loaded with flavonoids due to its cocoa content. The darker the chocolate, the higher the cocoa content. Flavonoids are antioxidants found in plants. They give us the beauty benefit of fighting destructive free radicals that cause our skin to sag and wrinkle prematurely. Only 1 ounce of chocolate per day is recommended even though you may want to eat the whole delicious bag!  Dove dark chocolate is especially good for you because  Mars has  patented a process called "Cocoapro". This causes Dove's Dark Chocolate to retain more of its healthy cocoa flavonoids.  It is genetically modified cocoa though. It's so good, I have to indulge anyway!

We all want to look younger.  We have lots of options to help our faces look younger and that's important since people look directly at our faces everyday.  We can get facials, use anti aging skin care products, or have a little Botox and dermal filler done to keep our faces looking younger. We also have makeup to hide a multitude of sins. But what about the hands?  I have heard people say, if you want to know how old a person really is, look at their hands. Hands can really show our age with age spots, prominent veins and crepey skin.  The hands receive a lot of sun exposure causing hyperpigmentation and breakdown of collagen. Lasors can help treat the pigmentation if you have some extra money in your beauty budget.  Our skin gets thinner as we age and those blue veins look so much more obvious than when we were younger. It is possible to plump the hands up with dermal filler to  hide the veins. It is a temporary pricey endeavour, though. Then, there is th...

Q. What nail polish colors can I wear to help make my hands look younger? A. Wearing the wrong nail polish color is unflattering and can actually make you hands look older. Help your hands look younger by wearing soft reds, coral reds, soft corals, medium pinks, warm mauves, nudes and pinky beiges in a soft shimmer or creamy finish. Choose a shade that flatters your skin tone. Cool toned skin colors are flattered by cooler toned polish. Warm toned skin colors look better with warmer colors. Avoid highly frosted colors such a frosted white. Not only is it old fashioned, it accentuates nail ridges. Avoid dark colors or shades of blue red, plum, blue or green that can accentuate the veins and redness in your hands.           Have a Beautiful Day!  xo Jill Licensed Cosmetologist,  Esthetician,  Makeup Artist PS: Thanks for using my amazon 💋 As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.
