Mine sure is. Temperatures in the 90 – 95 degree range last week, rain a few days ago, cold (actually cool, but we Louisianian’s are wimps when it comes to cool/cold weather) weather set in yesterday and is staying put through the weekend. Great weather for the “big” game on Saturday afternoon. By mid week it will be in the 90′s again. So, I have no clue what to wear when and my skin has already taken noticed.
Quick Tips To Sooth Questioning Skin.

Labor Day Weekend…what’s not to love? A lot of people spend the weekend relaxing and having fun with family and friends. It is the official end of summer so that means changing over our wardrobes from shorts, tees, flirty skirts, flip-flops and, bathing suits to their cold weather cousins. One words comes to mine for me – itching. Okay, make that two words…skin itching!
Second thing that happens is, I look into the mirror one morning and after screaming, ask myself “whose face is that and where did all those lines come from”?
I don’t know about you, but those two things are enough to send me straight into a post-summer-skin depression. I think the last week of August should be considered every woman’s personal week of skin renewal. WE should carve out at least one-hour every evening to pamper ourselves and get our skin ready for winter (in between cleaning and changing out closets, setting up school activities with the kids and cleaning the garage-again, so we can put the grill away. I know, I’m not being realistic, but try for once or twice a week.
Okay, I’ll admit, I don’t have children and my husband takes care of the house, grocery and cooking. I own a cosmetic’s and skin care company, do professional speaking and write. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have a realistic view of how the average woman gets through an average week. I’m not sure I even know what an average week is. But I do know some great skin care tips to share with you for the winter months ahead.
The first thing most of us reach for when it comes to winter skin care is a moisturizer. A good choice, but it is not going to do a lot of good until you remove those dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
Are you ready for some magic?
WITHOUT TURNING THE WATER ON – step carefully into the shower.
- Tip, sometimes it is easier to do your lower back using the topside of your hands. Try it first with nothing on your hands and if you feel it works better and is more comfortable you are good to go. Just pour some oil on the backs of your hand and then pour the sugar over it, flip your hands over and rub over your lower back area.
Now it is time to set the oil and sugar aside (being careful not to spill what is left of the oil on the floor of the shower) and turn on the water. Rinse well from head to toe. Using a bath gel or your favorite soap, go over your body lightly with the washcloth and rinse well.
Step out of the shower and pat yourself dry. Apply moisturizer from head to toe and savor the caressing circular movements you will be using to apply it.
Feel the magic?
Reality check!
Sorry, but it is time to get back to your real life now. Oh, and you can smile about the way your skin feels all evening long. You can even send the kids to the neighbor’s house if you want!
You have done the basic sugar/oil scrub.
Want to jazz it up a bit? Try this combination of ingredients.
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. lemon juice
3 to 5 drops of peppermint (or any other extract you like the scent of) essential oil
Combine all the ingredients into a paste consistency. Work onto and into the skin as described above.

The Botox Alternative
Wrinkle Relaxing Complex For Fall. This time of year I always feel like trick or treat comes early. We wake up one morning, walk into the bathroom, look into the mirror and our first thought is “who is that woman and what is she doing in my mirror”. Another version could be “Sweetheart…you really must replace this mirror, it is broken”!
Before Wrinkle Relaxing Complex
After Wrinkle Relaxing Complex
For best results apply every morning to enhance your appearance and again every evening to prevent dermo-creasing while you sleep.

Holly Cosmetics New Foundation Bottle (our bottle is white instead of silver)
The Airless Pump Foundation Bottle
It is an airless pump, which means there is not a plastic tube attached to the dispenser and running down into the bottle. The inside of the bottle is a vacuum. Each time you pump the bottle an inner disk at the bottom of the bottle goes up a bit, pushing the foundation up and out the spout. No product goes unused and you will know exactly how much product you have on hand.
How to use;
Remove the clear spout-cover cap. You will need to replace it after each use and for transporting your product. Using the back of your hand as a palette, pump one or two drops onto the back of your hand. Using a foundation brush, makeup sponge or fingertips transfer the foundation onto your face and blend evenly. When you have used the amount of foundation needed, replace the clear spout-cover cap. For Travel: I suggest putting your bottle into a snack-size Zip-Loc® bag and then your handbag or carry on tote bag.
Holly Cosmetics Summer Hair

The search is on for the perfect summer hair style. Hair Stylist across the state are gearing up for the hot and humid summer season.
I receiv
ed a video from Master Stylist Christopher Hopkins and just had to share it with you as the Video-Must-View! If there has ever been a reason to consider cutting your hair, this video definitely defines it. No matter what your age may be. You will find the video in the upper right hand of the website. This is also going to be a new feature on the site, so let me know how you like being able to see the videos.
The Spring Slim-Down Illusion
Looking slimmer is always a goal of any woman, so remember these tips when it comes to executing your final hair style along with your stylist.
~ Angled lines will chisel the face creating defined lines of vision for the viewer, creating a slimmer appearance to the face. You are drawing their eyes up and away from problem areas.
~ Bangs have come and gone a zillion times over the years, and yes, they are back again for Summer 2011. If you are considering a bang, be sure it is angled and not blunt. The hair tips of the bang should fringe or dust the eyebrows. Any shorter and you will look like the in inside of a Buster Brown shoe. Okay, you have to be over 50 to understand that. Sorry. Just know, it is not a great look. Any blunt horizontal line is going to ad bulk. Key word here – bulk.
~You are looking for bulk and texture in the crown area (not the bangs), to create height and create a slenderizing look.
~There is a saying “round adds pounds” and unfortunately, that is true. That includes jewelry, hair styles, collars, necklines and even handbags (especially when they hit at your hip line when carried).
