The Obsession

Can you spend an hour or more in beauty supply stores?  Do you have multiple subscriptions to or can't help but pick up the latest hair magazine?  Is your 'under the sink' storage area so full that you have a special product area for your impulse purchases?  It's offiicial - you're obsessed.

Reflect & Refresh, Its Spring Time!

E-mail Print PDF

It’s Spring time! I think.  Mother Nature was throwing out random summer like days back in February, but I think we're all on the same page now.  And by page, I mean Spring.  The time of year when we should reflect and refresh.

Let’s start with a little reflection.  Around this same time last year I was off to San Diego, attending Bootcamp to become a CND Shellac Education Ambassador for the Virginia area.  And now with a couple of classes taught under my belt, I am proud to say that I am still in it to win it.

In March, we flew back out to San Diego for what was my first training as an Education Ambassador.  What a great time I had meeting the “Elder EAs”, coming together as one, with a common goal to go out and help nail technicians become better nail professionals, through service and education.

And now on to the refreshing part.... the Spring/Summer 2012 NAIL TRENDS!

I am excited to share with you the latest nail fashion trends going on this season in hopes to inspire you to try something new and refreshing.  Yes, we use the term “Nail Fashion” now, not nail art.  Gone are the days of just lines, flowers and dots.  Nail fashion is all about shapes, color and textures.

My next few posts will highlight a few nail fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2012. Stay tuned...

I am getting more into doing my own nails. Yesterday I actually used a color polish instead of my usual clear and I loved it. I think I will try out more colors and see where this takes me... Thanks for posting

Featured Product

Tom's of Maine Natural Moisturizing Body Bar

I will admit that I am a procrastinator and somewhat of a poor planner.  I had to purchase this natural moisturizing body bar because I knew that I would not be able to make it to my beloved Trader Joe's for the soap that I love and would need to use the next day.  I went to a local grocery store and fortunately they had a natural care aisle.

I actually enjoy many of the Tom's of Maine products so I was drawn to that particular section.  After reading the label, I was intrigued and made the purchase.

Sniff

Lavender.  That is exactly what the box read and that was the predominant fragrance.  Lavender is known for its ability to relax.  What a lovely shower experience when you're a tad stressed!  This bar gave me an aromatherapy and cleansing session all in one.

The Kitchen

Distilled water

As the ingredients journey continues I cannot help but notice the various types of water used in products.  There is plain water, spring water, distilled water and even more variety.  Isn't water just water?  I'm afraid not.
