Beauty, Bridal & Fashion

We talked about the benefit of drinking enough water a few articles ago. Another very important factor in helping us lose and maintain our weight is a balance of protein and carbohydrates.
Do you feel as if you’re eating low fat, but just can’t seem to shed the extra pounds?

We all go to the salon and wonder how to duplicate the look.  This month it’s time to learn your brushes.  All of these brushes! What are they for?
1. Paddle  — A paddle brush is the most versatile brush, but it is especially helpful if you have long and/or thick hair. It can manage a lot of hair all at once and smooths it down for a sleeker look.

Too often in life we let the small things take us out of joyful, playful self.  It is easy to let our focus get caught up in what isn’t working in our life. The value of staying in the present allows us to stay in a place where we don’t let past hurts steal our joy.  I heard a cool thing the other day, about how our rear view mirror is small, because our past is behind us, and the reason our windshield is so big, is because our future is so big and bright.

Dear Cathy, I see your ad a lot for your Take 10 (years off that is) and I would love to take 10 years off and while your at it, 10 pounds off too!  So what is it? I am turning 60 in a few months and have never done much for my skin. I’m just wondering if it might be too late?
Thanks, Sue in CC

Clever magazine and television advertising gets most of us caught up in the advantages or costs of many products. It’s true that there are certain assets one product may have over another, and of course we all love a bargain, but the fact remains; it’s not the paint, it’s the artist. It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot. It’s not the scalpel, it’s the surgeon, and it’s not the Restylane, Juvederm, or Voluma filler, it’s the injector.

Marilyn Monroe once said that becoming a blonde changed her life and made her a star. The same could be said of platinum colored mega stars like Madonna and Lady Gaga. Blonde color is youthful, fun and sexy. A lot of us go for blonde at least once…why not? The perfect blonde is like red lipstick….it is choosing the right shade that makes it work.

It’s that time of year when everyone’s thoughts are turning to sandy beaches, ocean breezes and salty air!  It’s also when we start thinking about getting into our bathing suits and showing more of ourselves to the world.
No matter what the season is, ample breasts are simply sexy. Do you wish your clothes fit better?

If you haven’t paid attention to your cellulite in the past few months (yes, we all have it), then now is the time to get on a series of treatments to smooth the appearance of your cellulite before you slip into that bathing suit or try on those cute summer outfits.
The first FDA approved treatment for cellulite is now available in the Santa Clarita Valley at Beyond Harmony Med Spa.

We started getting ready for summer last month and we offered some helpful tips. In our on going effort to achieve optimum health and well-being as well as looking and feeling our best – here is another helpful tip!
We have all heard how important water is to the human body. But did you know that it could also aid in weight loss?

What is capsular contracture?  When breast implants (or any foreign object, such as pacemakers or artificial joints are placed into the body, the body forms a fibrous tissue lining around it. Many surgeons refer to this lining as the “capsule”, “tissue capsule”, or “scar capsule”, although it is not exactly the same as scar tissue. This is the body’s natural healing response after breast implant surgery and is to be expected.

Our hair is one of our most valuable accessories! It completely changes your appearance. Let’s be honest, it can be quite the hassle sometimes, but with a good hair stylist, a few hair tips, you can make your hair routine faster and easier.

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent eyelash extensions comprised of individual synthetic or mink eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. Our lashes are thicker at the base and taper to a fine point. They are applied on to individual eyelashes, one extension at a time, for a natural, elegant look to lengthen and add fullness to the existing lashes. Lash extensions are for professional application only. Self-application and application by untrained individuals is strongly discouraged.
