Shiny Health Hair from Dr. Rebecca Kazin: Perfect for All Hair Textures

Harsh winter weather can be hair’s worst enemy. From hat hair to static to dry ends and frizz, dropping temperatures signal seemingly endless hair woes. Ski slope sun exposure, drying indoor heat and high winds all present challenges, often resulting in brittle, tangled strands.

“Just as your skin can look dull and dry during the low humidity months, so can your scalp and hair,” says Rebecca Kazin, MD, FAAD. “Then add in our typical daily heating and styling tools which further stress and dehydrate the hair.”

Rebecca Kazin

As a top dermatologist at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery and the Johns Hopkins Department of Dermatology, Dr. Kazin has seen her share of hair/scalp complaints. Here she shares her tried and tested favorites to help your readers survive winter with shiny, healthy hair.

HAIR CARE TIPS

Protect – If you must use heated styling tools, it’s essential to use a good heat protectant spray. I like Aquage Beyond Body Thermal Spray because it has ceramic-infused polymers and fortifying proteins to seal hair’s outer layer.

Nourish – To maintain healthy hair, you must add more moisture during the winter months. Apply Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Crème post-shower to calm frizz and satisfy and restore even the thirstiest hair to softness.

Shine – Our hair color fades faster in the winter as we wash our hair more often due to weather conditions. Restore radiance and shine with It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product. It works on all hair types to bring out natural luster and manageability while also maintaining your color.

Frizz– Women with thin, fine hair are hit particularly hard with static. Tame flyaways with Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Crème. It transforms hair’s texture to leave it smooth and glowing with vibrant shine.

Suave Professionals Body Care – Hosting an At – Home Spa Staycation

Suave Professionals Body Care launched their new product line of silkening body washes, lotions and dry oil body spray in Morrocan Argan Infusion and Natural Infusion Awapuhi Ginger. All of the products are non greasy and smell delicious which made me eager to try them out.

 

 

I was also challenged to host an at-home spa staycation for girlfriends; sharing the products with everyday women and encouraging the ladies to pamper themselves.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to enjoy a luxurious spa experience at home? The first step (for me) was to research the necessities of having a fun and successful spa party.  I decided to start with my first reliable resource…Pinterest.com

From there, I found tons of inspiration and started planning my at home spa event. I discovered this is a great party idea for anyone’s birthday, brunch, or girls – night in. All you need to host an at home spa staycation are candles, nail polish, lotions, towels, manicure kits, and cotton balls. And we can’t forget the delicious vegetable or fruit platters, cupcakes, and wine. Suave also shared some really cool DIY Body Scrubs for guests to create and take home.

 

 

Because I am a lifestyle blogger, I reached out to a few of my favorite brands to share products as gifts for my guests. The at-home spa staycation was a success and guests enjoyed making their very own DIY scrub and shared conversation (over wine) discussing individual at home spa secrets and beauty tips.

I strongly encourage anyone to host their own staycation with friends and try the new Suave Professionals Body Care!

Suave Professionals Body Scrub recipes are below:

More about the products:

  • NEW Suave® Professionals Moroccan Infusion Body Wash – infused with Moroccan argan oil

  • NEW Suave® Professionals Natural Infusion Awapuhi Ginger Body Wash – infused with Awapuhi Ginger and Honeysuckle

  • Suave® Professionals Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion

  • Suave® Professionals Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray has a non-greasy formula that absorbs instantly

Anjolee Diamond Eternity Ring Product Review

Having the right accessories can do wonders for any fashion girl’s wardrobe.  And although I’m a huge fan of precious stones and sterling silver jewelry, there’s nothing wrong with owning a well made CZ ring.  The “secret” to wearing such a piece is to select an item that will accent your hands or manicure.

Anjolee.com is a fine jewelry manufacture where customers can purchase diamond/gemstone earrings, necklaces, pendants, and wedding sets.  The company has free shipping in the U.S. and a 30 Day Return Policy.  I was excited to review the beautiful Diamond Eternity Ring and add this piece to my jewelry collection.

MW_EB1020_w_m

The ring arrived in a gorgeous wooden box which is perfect for storing the diamond piece.  This anniversary ring can also be stacked with other rings and comes in gold, platinum, and in five different sizes.

The Diamond Eternity Ring ring is truly a flawless piece of jewelry and completes your everday look with classic elegance.  To view more  of their products and purchase your very own Diamond Eternity Ring visit their site: Anjolee.com

Fox 45 Morning News Segment: Homegating Tips and Products

It’s football season and we’re celebrating this timeless tradition with our family and friends.  I was asked to host a fun lifestyle segment on Fox45 Baltimore News discussing Homegating Tips which is a fancy word for tailgating at your home.

I love to host media segments because it’s a great way to share information with a local audience and inspire someone to try new products or ideas.  Let me provide a few quick tips for Homegating:

1.  Select a Delicious Menu – guests should be excited to taste new (or favorite) recipes but most importantly your dish selection should match the theme of your party.

2.  Purchase Game Themed Decorations – for me, decorations set the tone of any event.  You wouldn’t want a pink table cloth for a Baltimore Ravens themed football party.  Also, get creative and visit your local craft store and make decorations prior to the event.  Don’t forget the dollar store when searching for inexpensive party fillers.

3.  Prep Meals with Easy To Use Appliances – using appliances such as the T – Fall Opti Grill or Krups Beer Tender enables you (as the host) time to prepare for other aspects of the event while enjoying your guest.  And here’s the secret, they’re time savers so I suggest trying out a new appliance when considering hosting a Homegating party.

4.  Ask Guest to Wear Game Attire – what’s a party without dressing the part!  Ask your guest to wear team colors or jerseys to match the party.

For the Lifestyle Segement, I shared with viewers Cluck n Moo Burgers, Coleman’s Mustard, IMUSA Corn Skewers, and Cookina Grilling Sheets. Cluck n Moo Burgers are delicious because they’re half chicken and half beef (very healthy) but they cook really fast and very tender.  My husband and I enjoyed a few Cluck n Moo burgers a few weeks ago and they lived up to their reputation.  The additional products (shared) are also helpful when considering condiments, easy prep, and fast clean up.

Overall, I am looking forward to hosting my annual Homegating party and hope the photos and tips inspire you to treat your family and friends as well!  You’re welcome to share Homegating photos with us – email me at kim@stylelifefashion.com
