BIOEFFECT EGF POWERCREAM


 

This past year has been all about taking care of my skin and overall wellness! My focus has revolved around trying a variety of products and treatments to improve my skins appearance. I spent lots of time reading about anything and everything related to skincare and the latest technologies in anti-aging. I am almost 45 years old and am just realizing how important it is to use products with ingredients that renew and rejuvenate your skin. With all of the newfound ingredients and advances in technology, you can truly reduce premature skin aging while turning back the clock.

Falling for Fall Trends

It’s officially fall, even in Southern California! I have put away my summer sandals and have traded them in for boots and faux fur slides! In the blink of an eye, we are getting into the autumn spirit which quickly turns into the holiday season. Ahhhh I know, I know…time is moving so fast.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered when it comes to finding the most fabulous clothing and accessories for fall. First things first, let’s make sure to welcome fall while looking stylish and trendy! 

This is the time of year I call, “transition season” where layering is a must! Out of every season, I find the cutest and chicest styles during this time of year. The colors of the season are beautiful, filled with rich reds, crisp greens and burnt orange.

Falling in Love with Walmart’s Fall Fashion

Each September, when my kids go back to school, I often call it my “back to School” too, my reset, my reboot, my new beginning, my new year! As I start to put away my summer staples and replace them with my fall transitional pieces, I am instantly warmed with the thoughts of fall approaching, the holidays, yummy flavored coffees and the magnificent colors that come along with the fall season.

Fall Fashion!

It’s Fall ya’ll ! What does that mean? Well, for most of us around the country it means we have another amazing month of lovely weather before the leaves fall from the trees and the pumpkin spice lattes are in full swing! I have recently relocated to Southern California so “fall” looks a bit different for me compared to the east coast! No matter where I live, the one thing that seems to stay pretty consistent is the necessity for transitional wardrobe pieces! I have a section in my closet where I keep my “transitional pieces” and each season, I add more to this part of my closet.

Hair Repair

The summer season is here and for me, that means no fuss no muss hair! When it’s so hot outside, all I want to do is tie my hair up and not think about it all day. I have recently had a bunch of breakage (one of the bummers of being a blonde for over 20 years)…it happens! My hair is fine and I have to color it at least once a month. One of my new years resolutions was self care and this included taking better care of my hair.

Tinted Moisturizer

Tinted moisturizer just might be the best invention ever! A cream that moisturizes and provides coverage for uneven skin tones!? Yes please and thank you! I have been using Elta MD tinted SPF moisturizer for years because it provides coverage as well as protection from harsh rays.

It’s strong enough to wear all day at the beach and it also provides enough coverage so you don’t have to apply any other foundation.

So many companies make a tinted moisturizers with SPF but here are a few of may favorites!

Summer Knit Sets

I love matching sets, especially when they are made from a chic summer knit! A bold bright hue mixed with a fab summer tan is where its at! Any outfit that is sold as a set is so easy to wear, no need to worry about mixing and matching. A matching set in a bold bright color or pattern is one item you need to have in your summer wardrobe!
