Can a beauty drink give you a beautiful glow?
According to the experts beauty drinks can provide a hydrating boost, but there aren’t enough vitamins and antioxidants in them to make a visible difference in your skin. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Fergie, Julia Roberts, and Salma Hayek take anti-inflammatory supplements such as omega-3’s, B Vitamins, and querecitin, which improve blood circulation, protect against acne flare-ups, encourage moisture absorption and retention.
Beauty Drinks like Glowelle have been seen in the hands of many celebrities, and are filled with vitamins, and antioxidants, but most of them need a little more work in the taste department. I usually find myself holding my nose as I take little sips until it’s gone. Imagine, all of this in the name of beauty.
But if it is a liquid that you prefer for getting your daily dose of vitamins and antioxidants, then blending your own natural juices is the way to do it. Juices are enriched with vitamins as well as antioxidants, which increase blood flow, reduce collagen breakdown, improve collagen deposition and production, and help with increasing the overall cell turnover rate of your skin. They also taste really good, and no nose holding.
Fresh Juices made with green leafy vegetables like celery, cucumber, and lettuce, lemon juice, ginger, or beets are best for boosting your health and complexion. I know you’re thinking, it sounds so great until you commit to the juicer, fruits and veggie’s and after day three when you haven’t noticed much of a difference, up on the top shelf it goes. Well I would urge you to give it at least one week before you throw in the towel. Aside from taking vitamins, this is a great alternative for getting that healthy glow from the inside out.

Every time I hear about another skin care product promising to give your skin a youthful boost and fill out all of those lines, each with their own story, I am so there. I work hard everyday to defy the signs of aging because honestly, I am not ready to go under the knife. Many women at my age have, but I am holding off for as long as I can.
Thanks to shows like NipTuck that are so explicit in all of their medical procedures I am even more put off by what goes on and have become a blogging crusader in discovering beauty products that are giving plastic surgery a run for its money. TNS Line Refine is one of them. Created to visibly fill in the lines around the eyes, mouth, and crow’s feet while providing long term anti-aging benefits, even after using just once I noticed a difference.
TNS instantly relaxes facial expression lines, and softens their appearance with light reflectors that conceal skin imperfections at the same time. A tube will cost you $70, but a little goes a long way and the results are worth the investment.

As our beautiful bodies begin to give way to the signs of aging, even though most of us feel just as fabulous, it’s our hands and necks that can give us away! I remember my mother always saying whenever we would see a celebrity on TV that you could tell their age by their hands and neck. Now that I am in my 47th year of life I am beginning to notice that what she said was on point, and that my own hands have fallen victim to the same.
Depending on where you live you can do the turtle neck thing for the neck, but what do we do with the hands? Well fret no more, the good news is there are products out there that can help diminish the signs of aging hands. Some of them are even making their way into the hands of some very big celebrities like Madonna who as you know turned 50 this year, and even she can’t escape this eventual fate.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on this amazing hand cream from Poshe called “Posh Potion of Youth” Hand and Nail Creme for younger, healthier looking hands and nails. My sister who was a model, and hand model in New York and moved out to Los Angeles, fast forward and 2 kids later swears by this creme and if anyone should know it’s her.
After using “Poshe Potion of Youth’s” fabulous hand creme for a solid week, she said she noticed the difference in how her hands looked and felt. They looked smoother, and the texture of her hands was softer. Well, that was all I needed to hear and I was sold. I was so tired of looking down at my hands and saying “are those my hands?” The sleek bottle fits nicely into any purse, or if you prefer you can leave in car so you’re never without.
This “Potion of Youth” was created to repair deep skin damage such as age spots and is formulated with age-defying Peptides that enhance and strengthen cell adhesion and actually promote the rebuilding of new organized collagen fibers in UV-damaged skin. All of these ingredients come together to promote younger, more youthful looking hands. Poshe Potion of Youth Hand Creme also includes Anti-aging Retinol and Shea Butter which keeps the hands feeling soft and looking beautiful all while promoting healthy nail growth.
This 1.7 fluid oz bottle of wonder creme costs about $40.00, but if you go to their site Poshe ASAP it may still be on sale.
Happy, healthy hands everyone!

Cate Blanchett swears by this product that was introduced to her several years ago by a close friend. Since then she has become the face of SK-II Skin Care and and says it is part of her beauty ritual. Some women have even called it their “miracle Water”.
Facial Treatment Essence
The miracle ingredient Pitera, found in all SK-II products, helps restore vital balance by promoting the skin’s natural 28-day surface renewal process. First discovered in a Japanese sake brewery almost 30 years ago when it was noticed that the older workers who handled the fermented sake had remarkably youthful looking hands.
The “age-defying” phenomenon prompted extensive research which resulted in Pitera. An exclusive blend of vitamins, minerals, organic and amino acids, which work together to help rejuvenate the skins appearance. With over 90% pure Pitera, Facial Treatment Essence is the ‘heart’ of every SK-II Skincare ritual, drenching the skin and raising the moisture levels instantly.The result is clearer, smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
SK-II is available in Bloomingdales & Saks Fifth Ave, in store and online.

Who doesn’t want to feel six years younger? I know I do and with every year that I grow a little older I remember thinking this age would never come. I do feel great and I am happy with the way I look, but I am also open to anything, including a fragrance to make you feel young again.
“Ageless Fantasy” by Harvey Prince is the first Anti-Aging Perfume in the world, and it does just that. I’ve been wearing it for the last month, and am extremely happy to say that all of the young men and women at Gelson’s have commented on how great I smell. They have also inquired about the name of this fantastic fragrance and what a wonderful scent it is. I’ve always believed that scents can alter your mood. Have you ever walked into someones home and the smell instantly reminds you of your mothers cooking so you immediately start to feel good inside? Or a scent you smell while you’re out that brings you back to a happy memory from your childhood? Well, this is the essence behind Ageless Fantasy. This scent will not only make you feel good, but it will remind you of that famous cliche…you’re as young as you feel, and believe me, it’s one you should never forget.
Ageless Fantasy is a very well thought out and created scent consisting of pink grapefruit, mango, anti-oxidant pomegranate, jasmine and musk which helps to mask the actual smell of aging that occurs in women after the age of 40. I know it’s strange to think that this happens, but unfortunately ladies as we age, our bodies produce more of a chemical called nonenal which occurs due to the breakdown of fatty acids in the skin. According to Japanese scientist Wataru Takekoshi who works for the well known skin care line Shiseido, and one of my favorites, the breakdown results in a type of unsaturated aldehyde which emits an unpleasant “greasy” odor with grassy undertones. Sounds awful, but this is what experts say is the natural body scent of aging. Takekoshi also says that this body odor is rarely found in people who are in their 20’s or 30’s. In one study published by the “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” researchers found that women over 40 have more than twice the levels of 2-Nonenal in their skin than younger women. The same study found women over 40 also have higher levels of Omega 7 and certain other lipids which when broken down in the skin may contribute to a kind of “odor” commonly associated with older people. Well, that stinks if you ask me, but no one has complained about any odors from me so I guess the fragrance is working.
Ageless Fantasy from Harvey Prince has shown in intensive research studies that by wearing certain scents in exact combinations helps to eliminate this “odor” and to alter people’s perception of age. So fascinating really. Their study also went on to show that Ageless Fantasy scored high in the “young and passionate” category as well as the “young and active” category. That’s good news to me!
There is so much interesting information behind Ageless Fantasy that I would suggest visiting their website Agelessfantasy.com. At Harvey Prince their Mission is to bring only the best to everyone they touch and their clients interests always come first. I am also happy to tell you that Harvey Prince & Company LTD. is not only a green company but they are based in the USA. They use only the finest ingredients from France, Italy, & the USA.
Join celebrities Naomi Watts, Eva Mendes, Supermodel Heidi Klum, and The Bender Sisters just to name a few and start feeling younger wih Ageless Fantasy today. Purchase a bottle of their Age-defying perfume to start the New Year on a sweet note! You’re worth it and remember, “It is not how old you are, but how you are old”. I still run around like a teenager everyday and always say I don’t feel my age. Especially each time I spray on my Ageless Fantasy. I can’t help but smile because I feel so darn good.
Kisses,
Beth

I was on my way to a shoot and needed something a little more sheer than the creams I usually use in my palette. I decided since I was a little pressed for time that I would run into Target. Lately they have started to added quite an array of beauty lines, so I thought why not.
After spending way too much time checking out the latest beauty additions from Celebrity Artists I’ve never heard of, and none of which were very impressive, I landed in front of the Revlon display and found this little gem, Age Defying Spa Foundation. Of course the stunning Elle Macpherson is the model who is claiming that she needs to be worrying about her aging skin, but for myself who is aging fabulously, and samples everything before using on anyone else, I was very impressed.
Revlon Age Defying Spa Foundation
Each tube comes with a built-in-brush that gives you the perfect application. Infused with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and an SPF of 18. The coverage was excellent and left my skin, as well as the models on the shoot looking radiant and bright.
