Simple Cleansing is not Enough!

Simple Cleansing is not Enough!

Ciao bella,

Recently I discovered another wonderful cleansing and massaging routine to make my skin feel and look younger! This is an advanced cleaning technology beating out competitors with vibration therapy reaching deep skin layers that are sometimes neglected by the skin conscious!

Body Essentials Facial Brush and Massager has changed the way I cleanse my complexion. Our skin is made up of 3 main layers. The Epidermis, the Dermis and the Subcutis. With the patent pending deep cleaning action of BE's Facial Brush & Massager you can achieve healthier, younger looking skin simplified. In our Epidermis, the outer skin and protective layer contain cells called keratinocytes producing a strong protein forming a flexible outer shell. As younger living cells from the lower portion of the Epidermis rise to the surface the keratinocytes die off. This skin renewal happens once a month. The Dermis layer thickly contains collagen, blood vessels and white blood cells to help protect infectious microbes. The collagen gives our skin strength and firmness. Elastin fibers which are protein allows skin its elasticity. As we age the collagen and elastin break down causing fine lines and wrinkles.

By using BE's Facial Brush and Massager your skin cleansing is more effective, thereby producing superior, healthier skin by deeply cleaning skin layers that cause fine lines and wrinkles. By cleaning the Epidermis and the critical Dermis correctly with BE's Facial Brush & Massager you are nourishing the Dermis layer leading to healthier, more youthful looking skin!

This facial brush and massager contains attachments for applying creams and massage nodes for extra stimulation. Affordably priced! Pick one up today at www.bodyessentialsforyou.com and feel the good vibrations!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!

We all love nostalgia! One form is "scent". Possibly a scent from childhood, your first home, a vacation that holds a special place in your heart or a state where you you lived.

• Walk the Freedom Trail with Massachusetts. You'll find a spot of tart cranberry.

• Stroll the beach with Florida. Orange, grapefruit and sea breeze are a few of the perfumes top notes.

• Travel to California with a blend of coconut, eucalyptus and vanilla bean.

• For a New York state of mind -flowery and citrus notes are blended perfectly.

• Deep in the heart of Texas are bottom masculine notes of cedar leaf, amber and white musk.

• Want to take a walk down the boardwalk? Try New Jersey-scented after it's concession stands! You get delicious and lots of compliments!

Breathable Nail Polish!

Breathable Nail Polish!

Ciao bella,

Certainly the first of its kind, it was developed by a Polish company. Heeding the needs of women who wanted a healthier alternative to traditional nail enamel, Wojtek Inglot, a Polish chemist and entrepreneur, listened. It lets air and moisture pass through to the nail! This new and highly recognized development of nail polish has caught the attention of Muslim women from all over. With strict rules for praying 5 times a day and a pre-prayer that requires washing the hands and arms, traditional nail polish has been restricted since it prevents water from making contact with the nails. An Islamic scholar from the United States recently tested its permeability and found it complies with Muslim law. Naturally a trigger in sales over the internet for the Breathable Nail Polish "O2M" symbolizing oxygen and moisture is giant.

The nail polish is a final life achievement for Inglot who has been the recipient of several business leadership awards. He started his enterprise in 1983 when Poland was still under communist rule making it an international success. He received a Polish award last year praising him for "proving that Poland is a country where innovative technologies go hand-in-hand with beauty." At present his company has shops in over 50 countries, including one in Times Square in New York City, and boutiques in malls from Moscow to Istanbul to Dubai. Just when I think everything is already invented that could be invented brilliance has a way of surprising me.

This step is also a remarkable triumph for Muslim women who can now enjoy wearing nail polish in many different shades and still hold true to their faith!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!

The Pedicure in all its Glory!

The Pedicure in all its Glory!

Ciao bella,

One of life's most beneficial and desirable pleasures is The Spa Pedicure. Maybe a scented candle or some incense fills the room taking you to the place of its scent's origin. The candle flickers as you immerse your feet into warm, swirling, fragranced water, tumbling around your toes and starting to soften the skin. Feet are dried as toe nails and cuticles are tended to. Rough heels and callous spots need to be gently pumiced. A foot mask should be applied using warm towels. There are a few really good masks that will seal in moisture and deliver valuable nutrients .A clay mask made of Bentonite and Kaolin contains minerals from volcanic ash, beneficial to the skin. Yogurt is also an ingredient found in some foot mask products. The proteins in the Yogurt help to mildly exfoliate dead skin cells revealing younger fresh skin. After removal of the mask a massage will follow. The massage should be heavenly applying technique on legs and feet. The foot massage is quite important since it incorporates a low-grade form of Acupressure. That is why everyone feels an all around euphoria after a Spa Pedicure. There are pressure points on the bottom of your feet and your hands that heal the body. Nowadays Nail Techs are incorporating different themed scent-u-al Pedis such as real Papaya, Roses, decadent Chocolate, Coffee, etc.! Really dreamy!

As the stress of the day is released from this healing service, recognize the value of The Spa Pedicure! Call for an appointment today!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!

Be My Valentine -- but wait let me get ready for bed!

Be My Valentine -- but wait let me get ready for bed!

Ciao bella,

I can remember when I was in my teens my "Beauty Rituals" consisted of washing my face with Dove soap (Mom used it faithfully 'til I showed her better!) and brushing my teeth. Remember most skin products just coat the skin. Make sure your daily Beauty Ritual cleanser and moisturizer contain penetrating qualities that will protect and add natural ingredients to plump your complexion. Mom always told me we were lucky since we inherited good Italian skin or so she thought. Actually we needed more than relying on our heritage! Only she was so light she could never sit in the sun for a minute. In her younger years she learned the hard way after all what sunscreen existed in 1940! Her Nana had velvet skin well into her winter years and wish I knew her Beauty Rituals. However that was Great Nana! Beware of the sun! Always use sunscreen. Kosmea now has a Moisturizing Cream with SPF 30. Find a Beauty Ritual that contains natural ingredients closest to what your skin produces naturally.

At the first sign of "crows feet" Mom was always trying a new and expensive Beauty Cream! Finally my knowledge into the world of Esthetics including facials and pore refinement proved beneficial for us both. It always seemed the best products were from another country (i.e., Kosmea from Australia). Mother enjoyed her milky-light skin, practically wrinkle-free by experimenting with all kinds of makeup and color. She was satisfied. However today there would be so much product she would have her eye on. I counted six concealers in her makeup cabinet one time! At a certain point or age in life I feel concealer is a very important part of a Beauty Ritual. A nice soft color applied under eye with ring finger, blending well then a dusting of light yellow powder! Instant youth!

Mother's consults with me would be inevitable! I truly miss the opportunity! The memories of Mom and our beauty cream try outs bring me back to an evening on Valentine's when she should have been ready for a romantic evening however instead she had gone through her Beauty Ritual and she was ready for bed alright-face mask and all! Everyone have a lovely Valentine's Day! For more Beauty Tricks call or email me anytime!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!

Pretty Is In The Writing

Pretty Is In The Writing

Ciao bella,

When I say 'writing', I don't mean email writing! Oh the days of a hand written letter. I remember receiving them, perfumed, with sealing wax. Delicate penmanship scrolled out feelings of desire and happy days planned gone by. Best wishes of the day and thanks of appreciation could be touched and reread with an awareness of the paper it was written on and the color specially chosen by the writer.

The heart thumping of a love letter. What other organic material can get a rise out of you like a love letter? The feeling of the paper as you run your fingers from side to side wondering how not to destroy this perfect square. Tearing paper asks what is here speaking just to me. Words written in one's hand can be so sincere, so honest, so powerful reaching its goal of infinity!

The sense of satisfaction when I put down the pen is a Beauty gadget all its own! A silent Beauty treatment that quenches the mind thirsty for attention. A reward that is pleasing to bear the hands 'gift of writing.

So pick up a pen and scribble away your best one yet!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!
