Best Hair Dryer!

I am truly loving the new StyleDryer from Calista Brands by Maria McCool! I probably will never go back to a traditional hair dryer again. Not only is it completely versatile with its many attachments, but it is also light weight, colorful, and totally effective at drying AND styling your hair!

Some things I've found that I love about the StyleDryer:

💕 The first attachment I used in the video below is perfect for adding lift while drying your hair AND no matter which way you pull the attachment through your hair, it does not tangle!
💕 I switched to the paddle brush to finish styling and this is perfect to tame everything down and if you notice, my hair seems to get shinier right at the moment when I use this attachment!
💕 My hand can be right up to the attachments without getting too hot which makes styling super easy!
💕 No fumbling with two hands between a brush and blow dryer!
💕 It also comes with a round brush if you want to add curls :)

For me it's a game-changer on the way I dry and style my hair. I even got hair extensions after making this video and I was so afraid that I would not be able to use the StyleDryer anymore. Nope, not the case at all! I can still use the root-lift attachment for the top of my hair. AND, it also comes with a concentrated nozzle that I now use first to dry the extension attachments near my scalp!

IT JUST WORKS ;)

Let me know if you've tried it or if you decide to give it a buy, what you think of it!

A Few of my Favorite Things....

Holidays 2016

by Tori Lee K

#1 Jersey Shore Cosmetics Whole Body Balm

The Anti-Aging Whole Body Balm from Jersey Shore Cosmetics

works wonders from head to toe literally anywhere you need

rescue from dryness or to add hydration. I love it around my

eye area to help with fine lines and even to remove stubborn          

makeup smudges.

It's made with a certified organic formula, it is all-natural,

petroleum-free, paraben-free & petrochemical-free!

Did-I-mention it works wonders on hair fly-aways!

It comes in a small or large size. The handy small size

I keep in my purse and use it everyday when I am out

and about. The large size I keep by my bedside and love to

use it on my heels, my cuticles and even under my nose

when I have a cold.

I highly recommend you give it a try!

#2 Wen Hair Care Fall Ginger Pumpkin Replenishing Treatment Mist

My Next favorite thing is from Wen Hair by Chaz Dean. The Fall Ginger Pumpkin Replenishing Treatment Mist. The treatment mists are perfect for refreshing your hair anytime, anywhere! I love to spray it liberally the day after I've washed my hair and I'm too lazy to wash it again. I will blow dry it just a touch, and it looks like I've just washed and fully styled my hair. If I'm super lazy again the 2nd or 3rd day, you guessed it, this is my routine! In the summer time I will simply spray the replenishing mist, brush my hair and go!

Not only do I love the Pumpkin scent, but they come in a variety of amazing fragrances. I tend to switch which scent I use depending on the season. You can also use the treatment mists to hydrate your face, to spray on bed linens or as a room fragrance!

I so recommend trying this very versatile beauty product :)

#3 Jersey Shore Cosmetics Moisture Rich Hydrating Balms

Yes, I picked another product from JSC!

The balms which Jersey Shore Cosmetics produce are by far the best anywhere!

It seems that every month I adopt a new balm as my favorite.

What sets these apart from the competition is that they work to perfectly hydrate not only your lips, but any area that needs help! The scents they come in are so authentic, natural, organic and simply superb! I started my love for JSC with their Mongongo Vanilla Coconut Lip Conditioner which I first received in my Ipsy GlamBag and I was instantly hooked. I then began to try the rest of their lippies and quite frankly became obsessed!

Some of the scents/formulas available are: pumpkin, lavender, apple, chocolate, peppermint, black coffee & matcha green tea!

Very highly recommend trying :)

#4 Lime Crime Lipstick

My last 'favorite thing' is from Lime Crime Makeup

and their very extraordinary selection of lip products.

After my lips are nice and hydrated from JSC's balms, I like

to sometimes add intense color from Lime Crime's

various lipstick choices. I am a performer so having lip

color that is highly pigmented with long-lasting wear is of

super importance to me, and that is what these lipsticks

provide.

You need to check out their Matte Velvetine's, the Perlees

& the new Diamond Crushers. You can create endless color

combinations with the many options. These are what I choose to wear when

I'm performing or when I'm hitting the town and want a bolder

lip! Ok, so I don't actually 'hit the town' too much anymore....but

you get the idea!!

I'm wearing Velvetine 'Raven' with 'Mercury' in center of lips

In conclusion, it is that magical time of the year where everyone is super-busy buying for everyone else, so why not treat yourself? It's always good to take care of number one which then makes it that much easier to take care of the people you love!

I truly hope some of you will try at least one of these items in my favorite things lists,

and if you do, please let me know how you like them!

All the best to you this holiday season,

Is There a Fountain of Youth? By, Tori Lee

                                 

It’s funny how when I was younger I thought being over 40 meant someone was OLD! Now that I am over 40 I beg to differ! We’ve all heard the expression ‘age is just a number’ and in theory that sounds great. It really is JUST a number. However, that number also represents changes to our bodies that occur that we basically have no control over. Sure we can get tummy tucks, liposuction, Botox, fillers, face lifts, and heck we can even get Brazilian butt lifts! The truth of the matter is that when we age, unfortunately so do our bodies. Do we let ourselves age naturally, or do we help slow down aging by whatever means necessary. To have work done or to not have work done, that is the question!
I am leaning towards the realization that the answer is a delicate balance of ones desire to change, social pressures, finances, & either contentment or discontent with how we personally are aging. The decision of course will be different for every one of us.

Let’s look at a couple pros and cons with some of our ‘fountain of youth’ options.

Botox – Pros

The pros are you will get fast results & therefore have instant gratification. Stubborn #11 vertical lines between your brows,
horizontal forehead lines & crow’s feet temporarily go away. They can inject so you get an eyebrow and/or smile lift. With creams and serums you may or may not even get results and you will need patience as they do not work as fast.

Botox – Cons

The cons are you will need to continuously get injections (up to 4 times per year). The cost can be quite high especially as treatments are only temporary. There is the possibility of various side effects. Some women wind up over-doing it and then have the exact opposite effect of trying to look younger.

Tummy tucks - Pros

Well the pros are you will have a flatter, thinner and more firm looking stomach without dieting or exercise.

Tummy tucks – Cons
Cons are; it’s surgery and with any surgery as you know there are many potential risks and side effects. There can be significant scarring depending on which type of procedure you undergo. Recovery can be rather long and it will cost you a pretty penny.



There are of course many tricks we can do to fool the eye without getting anything ‘done’. One quick fix for our flabby areas is to buy Spanx or any type of body shapers with some sort of control (spandex blend) built in. Buy the pieces for the areas you need most and then wear them daily. For example I always wear a cami/tank with spandex underneath my shirt. In fact I got so used to wearing them that I cannot go out now without one.


If wrinkles are your main concern yes creams & serums can help but they only work when used for a long period of time. There are quick-fix products you can buy that do not involve needles or surgery. They work to smooth wrinkles and tighten the skin however they are only temporary and last until you wash your skin. You apply the product to the troubled areas of your face, neck or décolletage. Now I admit some work better than others but overall they are a pretty good option. Just search “wrinkle smoother” and then find the best product for you based on need and budget.

Has your chest started to sag? Well of course exercising is a great choice and surgery is always an option. For a simple    fix have you thought about getting a professional bra fitting? Often times women wear the wrong bra size & style, and this can leave you with droopy boobies. Drooping and sagging of any body part makes us look, you guessed it, OLD! So clean out the old brassiere drawer, get fitted, and lift the girls up!!

Just because once a year we add another candle on our birthday cake doesn’t necessarily mean the way we look has to reflect that higher number. I would think everyone in some way misses something about our younger selves with respect to our current appearance. You can choose to age without doing anything and if you’re happy then obviously that’s all that matters. Or you can choose to fight against aging, which if you haven’t guessed by now is the route I’m taking.

If I do find a fountain of youth believe me I will be bathing in it daily. Until that happens I will continue my search of innovative products and ideas and have fun trying & sharing them all!

Youthful wishes,
Tori Lee K
