GIVE ME SUNSHINE AND I'M GOLDEN

Spring break is around the corner and you know what that means........it's SWIMSUIT season!
Woohoo!  Uhhh.... hold the golf clap~
Shopping for a bathing suit is a little like dating:  You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find The One.  Not to mention the "pre-date rituals" we as women perform to prepare for both.  Shave legs- check. Apply Self tanner to hide imperfections-check.  Watch salt intake the day before to avoid puffiness- check........all that and STILL, unless you happen to look like a Victoria Secrets model, after all that preparation, your critical eye takes over and you come away feeling ....deflated.
Well meet your Matchmaker- Theresa Brunner owner of H20 Swimwear in Dallas.  She takes the stress out of trying on bathing suits with her personalized service, and carries a plethora of swimsuit lines that flatter a variety of body types, many of which you will not find anywhere else in the Metroplex.
After successfully finding bathing suits that makes you feel confident you can concentrate on what's really important.....ENJOYING your vacation!   Just give me some sunshine and I'm golden~

GENIUS PRODUCT

Let me start out by saying, when it comes to styling my own hair, my approach is remedial at best.....I am not an "expert" with a curling iron, haven't mastered a blow-dryer using a round brush, and rarely do I get salon quality straight hair using a flat iron even WITH the help of a keratin treatment!!
This new product was made for people like me.   It's called THE TOPSTYLER- IN STYLER~

This has reinvented Hair Curling!  Using your FINGERS to wrap your hair into the curl size you want.  (Two-finger width creates smaller, tighter curls, or Three-finger width for looser curls) you apply the heated ceramic clips for 5 minutes till cool down.  Once unclamping the hair it falls to create beautiful curl with memory! 

The best part for me is that its easy to use and it doesn't damage your hair. 

Even better, when your hair is styled professionally, you can recreate the curls the next morning by a quick touch up using the ceramic clips recurling the fallen hair.

For me personally I was able to re-create my styled locks 2 days in a row-

HAPPY SHOPPING!
