Volumizing Flat Iron might sound like an oxymoron. Many of you probably have the original CHI flat iron and love it. Now if you want to add volume, smooth fly-aways and get a sleek curl look then the Farouk CHI Volumizer Flat Iron is a great option.
The company states that – “The curvature combined with the narrow 3/4 inch width is ideal for creating volume at the roots of your hair, and finessed curls or flips at the ends. Add to this CHI’s flash quick heating, energy efficiency, pure ceramic heater and convenient swivel cord.” - and I agree! My hair takes curl fairly well, but even if your hair is ‘troublesome’ the heat is extremely helpful for hard-to-style-hair.

Many of you have probably seen the FitFlop in Macy’s, Bath and Body Works or Victoria’s Secret. The shoe company claims their goal is ‘to create the world’s most efficient dual-use fashion/fitness products.’
I purchased a pair of these two weeks ago. I am about to give birth to my second child and took these on our vacation last week. We did a lot of walking and I am horribly swelling - did my feet feel great on vaca because of these? I am not sure if it was chance or not, but I did not have any lower back pain, like I normally do, and my ankles were not as swollen after walking.
Are they the most fashionable looking shoes? Not necessarily but they are sporty! What do you think?

It’s almost bikini season! Just in time – Lancaster has launched their 3-step Sunslim Body Programme!
Step 1 - This tan-stimulating anti-cellulite cream helps get your body bathing-suit-ready. The anti-cellulite Sunshape Complex helps target “rebel” zones to trigger the elimination process and fight storage in fatty cells. This contrated formula helps refine body lines, sculpt the silhouette and smooth skin’s surface. Meditan and the patent-pending Tan Activator Complex boost melanin for sun-ready skin.
Step 2 – This silky lotion helps you “melt” away lumpiness and boost your tan in the sun for a more shapely, beautifully golden body. This concentrated formula helps refine body lines, sculpt the silhouette and smooth skin’s surface. Protects skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays.
Step 3 – This silky lotion prolongs shaping and tanning results for a more shapely, beautifully tanned body after the sun. While Lancaster’s Sunsculpt Complex provides firmer-to-the-touch skin, their Sunshape Complex continues its refining action, and draining cactus flower gives a sensation of lightness and relief after sun exposure. The patent-pending Tan Activator Complex prolongs your golden color as anti-inflammatory caper bud and soothing active ingredients keep skin soft and comfortable.
Try all three steps, plus their new 365 Elixir, Ultra Soothing Lotion, spf 30+, and Ultra Natural Bronze Care SPF 6 in the New Beauty Beauty Box…for just $29.99…and receive the current issue of New Beauty Magazine…and a $20 Spa Look gift card!
