NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

As my January article in GRANDLUXE MAGAZINE can attest, it's not too early to start thinking about making your New Year's resolutions for 2013~  

(especially since Doomsday didn't get us)

Check out my article below for ways to enjoy a healthy and happy 2013!

                    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  HAPPY SHOPPING!!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

PRODUCT JUNKIE TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Compact is always good when packing for a trip, so if your traveling this winter break, here are a few of my favorite finds you might want to add to your packing list~

                                                     SKIN CARE TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Dr. Murad has done it again....a complete anti-aging skincare routine in travel size.  The kit includes the Refreshing Cleanser, Perfecting Day Cream SPF 30, Complete Reform Glyco Firming Complex and the Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture for maximum hydration.

                                                                           HAIR CARE

Always a fan of having "my own stuff" when I travel, haircare line Pureology    has this wonderful travel kit to ensure no bad hair days will occur on vacation.
                                          

                                                                            SUNSCREEN

Sunbum Pro Line is not only adorably packaged in its yellow rubber, it's moisturizing, fragrance free, hypoallergenic and leaves a nice sheen to the skin after applied.
I'm also a fan of their Clear Zinc Oxide SPF 50 to slather on the face~

                     HAPPY TRAVELS!!  HAPPY SHOPPING!!  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Finding Your Holiday Glow

On the constant hunt for sunless tanning products I was given the opportunity to try the entire

XEN-TAN product line and compare and contrast the various formulas.  The verdict?

I'm hooked!!  Here are my 2 favorites which quickly became my "Pre- Holiday Party Prep" MUST!!-

Depending on your timeframe (If you give yourself enough time to tan), this was my favorite to achieve  your very own custom glow~  The "E Live on the Red Carpet" Perfect Blend has a dial by shade from light to dark for truly finding your perfect shade.  Complete with shimmer bronzer, this moisturizing blend develops in 3 hours and VOILA.... RED CARPET READY~

In need of color asap??  Then this one's for you~ the MOUSSE INTENSE is a quick drying formula that provides INSTANT GRATIFICATION.  I would recommend getting the Xen-Tan Hand Mitt for easy application.  Both products are streak free and smell free!
You can find Xen-Tan online and at Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms and Dillards~ 
Hats off to local Dallasite, Owner/Founder Dera Enochson:)))

HAPPY SHOPPING!!  HAPPY SHOPPING!!  HAPPY SHOPPING!! HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Best of show

For our upcoming January 13th show on Designing DFW  I am working on the 

"Best Of 2012" for SHOPPING IS MY CARDIO.

The hard part??  To choose a select few to highlight as my favorites.....  I seriously LOVE each and every one of them :-)  So this is dedicated to all my AMAZING clients I have been fortunate enough to work with and feature on the show this year~

Owner Stephi Maron moved Blushington right next door to the first DryBar location to hit Dallas on Oaklawn Avenue with more locations to come~

Saturday afternoon with "Look Book" in hand, my friends and I got glammed up for a holiday party that evening and we LOVED our results! Definite THUMBS UP by all :)
