Nails: Zamberg Hans Kniebes Folding Nail Clipper

Zamberg makes the most amazing folding nail clipper! A German-based ​company, Zamberg makes luxury grooming tools for both men and women. Each product is made by skilled craftsmen in Solingen, Germany of the highest quality materials. In the US, it is estimated that about 98% of the grooming products are produced in third world countries. Hence the low cost of products and also the poor quality. I know this personally, because I go through a few nail clippers a year and they all get dull so quickly!

Frankly, after experiencing the Folding Nail Clipper, I was hooked on all their products! The tools they produce are much sharper and when I clip my nails; a more smoother rounded moon is easier to create. Spend a little more and you'll have high quality products that will last much longer. Not to mention all the designs are stylish and modern. So do away with the old and try Zamberg

SKIN TIP: ACNE-PRONE SKIN SHOULDN'T USE WASHCLOTHS

Are you suffering from acne and using a Washcloth? Those who are Acne-Prone should think again! Washcloths collect dead skin cells, which feed bacteria and other microbes. So pretty much, your washcloth harbors bacteria... Lots of it! Every time you dry your face, you spread more allover your face by wiping or patting your skin.
A clean Washcloth only appears to be clean. Under a microscope, a whole different story is told.
​Here's the Solution: Dry your face by creating an "L" Shape with your index finger and thumb. Starting in the center of your face, wipe moisture off using a windshield wiper movement. Allow the skin to air dry or just follow with your normal skincare regime.

Inspirational Words

If you want to know your Past, then start looking at your Present Conditions. If you want to know your Future , then start looking at your Present Actions.

In life, you don't Attract what you want, but rather what you Are. If you want Abundance, then you must Become it.  ~John Tew

The world is your Runway... There will be times when you'll fall and times you when won't. There will be times when you have to wear ridicules outfits and times when you don't. No matter what happens on the runway, your attitude is what makes you Shine! ~John Tew​

Makeup: Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Foundation SPF 15

Lucky me, ​I was one of the very fortunate few to try the latest and most advanced foundations --Soon to Launch--Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Foundation SPF 15! Seriously, I have never felt a foundation like this in my life. This is a No-Makeup type product, that has the consistency of water but contains NO WATER! It's hard to believe, but the scientists behind the creation of this new product (8 years of research) are brilliant geniuses. 

Armani Maestro Fusion fuses technology that has never been done before... 5 time-released oils (Volatile, Semi-Volatile, and Non-Volatile) that are non-comodogenic, including Lotus Oil (Anti-Aging) with oil pigment suspension. Oxtinoxate SPF 15 is also used to prevent the color from turning whitish or ashy on the skin. The texture is unbelievable; like water and also evaporates. The skin is left lightly moist with no greasy or tacky after-feel.

Traditional foundations will probably have to say Bye Bye, because this is definitely the future of makeup. Technologically advanced for All Skin Types, and will transform anyone into a Flawless Beauty! Honestly, I think this will also be a hit with men who wear tinted moisturizers, because it's even lighter in texture!

Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion SPF 15 is the only foundation that I know of that comes in a dropper bottle. To be quite honest, it's pretty easy to use and it allows you drop what you need. For sure a waste-free design.  

Fusion Foundation​ comes in 12 Beautiful Shades in the US and 9 in other countries. There's definitely a shade for everyone, since the patented technology allows for pigment to transform on any skin tone.

Skincare: Waxelene Healing Balm

Waxelene​ is an amazing all natural multi-functional product that helps with psoriasis, eczema, chapped lips, diaper irritation, makeup remover, dry skin, chaffing, flyaways, brows, dry hair, cuticles, and much more. I use this product for everything and best of all it's non-toxic! For mothers who are concerned about applying toxic products on their babies, you'll definitely love this stuff, because it's also great for diaper irritation. A little bit goes a long way.


Skin Tip: Eczema


Millions of people all around the world suffer from eczema, which is a skin disorder that involves dry-itchy and scaly rashes that can form allover the body. Trust me, it's not a fun experience and I know, because I was one of those sufferers. Doctors would put me on steroid creams to suppress the inflammation, but quite often I felt it would worsen the condition and I had to sometimes upgrade to a stronger cream. And the problem with constant use of steroid creams is that over-time your skin starts to thin. Mine sure did!

After taking a few courses in nutrition, I realized that eczema could possibly be caused from my diet. Researching the web, I found that many eczema sufferers who cut out Gluten (Triticale, Wheat, Rye, Spelt, and Barley), Seafood, Preservatives, Chemical Dyes, Eggs, Dairy, Soy, and Alcohol; found that the eczema was either healed or the flare ups/itching was reduced. So after switching my diet to a more raw food lifestyle and cutting out all the junk, my skin is baby smooth and rarely do I get breakouts. I'll be honest, sometimes I will treat myself to something from the "No No List," but that doesn't happen often. My diet consist mainly of raw smoothies and juices that I make, and lots of wheat grass!
A very important thing to remember is to always moisturize. Moisture is very important for keeping the barrier function of the skin functioning properly. Hot showers can lead to loss of moisture and exacerbate the problem, so I... 99% of the time, take cold showers to keep the moisture locked in. After shower, I apply a moisturizer that is free of dyes, perfumes, synthetic chemicals, and preservatives. I'm not guaranteeing any of this will work for you, but it sure has worked for many eczema sufferers and myself!

Do your research and Good Luck!
