Murad Transforming Skincare

The kid when for a princess tea party a few weeks ago – and there was this glittery nail polish that only shines in the sun and light – it turns pink – and I’m out looking for it.  So far – I only found the above but was told by a customer of ours to go to Lawtons to check it out – so I’m gonna be there this weekend to get some not only for myself but for the kid as well.  Wish me luck.

March 15th, 2011Dicoloration Of Your Nails

Murad Transforming Skincare

For the longest time I avoided putting nail polish on my nails because I’m worried about discoloration or my nails turning yellow in color.  I’ve always thought that one need to “air” your nails – but apparently I am wrong.  According to my nail specialist she said that our nails do not need to breathe because it doesn’t have any pores like our skin.  So one can actually polish one’s nail 365 days a year – without worrying about discoloration.  So why is it when I paint my nails – they turn yellow in color?  i guess it’s because I didn’t put on my base coat.  Plus if the finger nails are always yellow or black then it is a diet problem or if you are a smoker  – the tobacco that caused the stain from smoking.  Sleeping very little or if you are a swimmer – the chlorine can also caused temporary discoloration.  Therefore, please make sure you look at your diet and change to a healthier diet.

Brrrrr..!! it’s cold out there!  and it’s not even winter yet ! only fall here – but I’m so preparing for winter – and this handwarmer is something that I must have this winter even though I am in the store all the time – it’ not always the warmest first thing in the morning.  And I type so much on the computer for work and for fun.  So yes!  this hand warmer will definitely keep my hands warm.  Found this on Etsy for $35 – I’m going to look for something similar and cheaper in town – and if I can’t get it – I will get it from Etsy.

Like any parents in the world – you wonder what to do – when you lil’ girl decide she wants to play mummy or fashion model.  Yes! i’ve been meaning to hunt down non toxic nail polishes for my daughter – who loves dressing up but hates the smell of grown up nail polishes. Albeit a bit expensive – i wouldn’t risk giving the kid hives because she might be allergic to some ingredients of the usual nail polishes.

Piggy Paint is as “Natural as Mud” in the sense that every ingredient in the polish is biodegradable with no traces or residues left behind, thus it would make an excellent addition to your mulch pile or as a feed for farm animals.

Our water-based nail polish is non-toxic, environmentally safe, hypoallergenic, with an odor that is extremely low, nearly nonexistent. It has the same look and durability performance as traditional kid polishes, but without the drawbacks of foul odors, toxicity, and damage to our environment and to your little ones’ nails.

How many of you go and get your nails and feet done regular..??  in a nail spa..??  not just a girlfriend’s house.. or a party for you and the gals.  Like a real spa..??  so that your nails gets professional help..?? not just for nail art.. but for the wellness of your nails.

Well a nail spa is not like your neighbourhood facial place that also does nails.. or your toe nails by filing it down and painting it the color you want.  At a nail spa, one can expect a little more than that.. and you are supposed to get more pampering .. than the usual nail place.  A nail spa usually give you and your hands and nails .. a relaxing hand massage.. and spoils your nails and hands with lots of fabulous lotions.  The ones I go to.. they make you dip them in paraffin wax as well.  You can really feel the diff .. after using a exfoliation massage and then the dip.. and more massage.  Yes.. ! i do pay a little more.. than the usual nail place.. around the corner of my store.. but that means..i don’t have to buy so many piano sheet music that week if i am going to a nail spa.  Afterall, a girl needs some pampering every now and then eh.

August 26th, 2008Soft Hands All Year Long

Murad Transforming Skincare

I donch usually get the luxury of time to go for a manicure.. and we all know that taking care of our hands are very important. Even though i do alot of dishes and housework.. i still need to take care of myself.. and the most basic starts with one’s hand. What about you ..?? To keep my hands soft all year long.. i make sure to moisturize it .. every nite.. and as soon as i am done with my dishes.

But using the right stuff is very important as well. I was told that looking for a hand cream that has got petroleum in it prevents evaporation of water off the skin and with Shea butter .. it is not only soothing but moisturizing as well. Since shea butter has a high fat content it replenishes the fat content that one’s skin need.

Of course, taking it a step further is always good.. like grooming of your nails.. and having a DIY manicure is always a plus. I don’t use anything that is too expensive.. i believe that if you take care of your hands daily.. any cream will do.
