BattleFrog: A Race for the Family Being Fit for the Future

Let your kids get muddy! At BattleFrog we have races for any age.

TadPole Dash: The TadPole dash is for 4-8 year olds. The course has 8+ obstacles, through 400 meters, and is guaranteed to deliver a new experience of self-discovery. Children will learn they can take on these new and exciting challenges, while becoming “Fit for the Future”, getting totally muddy and having the time of their lives.

Navy SEALs run the race with the kids, motivating them, entertaining them, and helping them over the tough spots and inspire them with the spirit of never quitting, teamwork and always trying your best. Start a lifetime love of fitness and competition at the Tadpole Dash. http://battlefrogseries.com/tadpole-dash/

BullFrog Mile: For your slightly older kids there is the BullFrog Mile. Your children can test themselves on at least ten of the full-size obstacles the top competitors tackle, but with a more manageable distance of one mile. Designed for kids ages 8 to 13, your kids can sample the mud crawls, climbing walls, slip and slides and our “boot camp” military fitness exercise. All with Navy SEAL motivation throughout the course as your kids work with other racers as an individual or on a team. The BullFrog Mile combines the right amount of challenge with the right amount of fun. http://battlefrogseries.com/bullfrog-mile/

BattleFrog 8K: The BattleFrog course is a total test for people of all fitness levels from ages 13 and up. Each step is inspired by the training that forges SEAL operators and prepares them to do anything, anytime, anywhere. The approximate 8K course will take you through 22+ SEAL-inspired obstacles that use air, land and water to test your body, mind and spirit. http://battlefrogseries.com/

Epsom Salt Beauty Tips – Beach Survival Guide

As beach season draws near, here’s an unusual idea that could prove useful: Epsom salt. Doctors say it can help treat sunburn and it also helps with summer beauty, as you’ll see in the two news releases below, which quote experts who have worked with celebrities:

One quotes a celebrity skin care guru: Summer Skin Care Tips who says you should exfoliate before going out in the sun to rev up circulation, facilitating the elimination of toxins or impurities that may be trapped in the skin. In addition to detoxification, Ole Henriksen says exfoliation leaves the skin luminous, smooth and soft in texture, and it removes any excess dead skin, allowing for better absorption and easier application of sunscreen or lotion.

Here’s Henriksen’s recipe for an at-home dermabrasion resurfacing treatment he calls the “Shower smoothie:”

Ø Ingredients: 4 oz. of Epsom salt, 4 oz. coffee grounds, 1 TSP eucalyptus oil and enough sesame oil to form a smooth paste.

Ø Mix the Epsom salt and coffee grounds in a medium bowl, then add the oils and stir thoroughly until you have a smooth, but not runny paste.

Ø Get in the shower, get wet and turn off the water. Use the entire palm of each hand to vigorously scrub your body for several minutes, from your neck to your feet.

Ø Afterward, just rinse and glow. Your skin will feel smooth, and you’ll notice an immediate lifting and constricting of the skin.

The other quotes an award-winning celebrity manicurist Summer Beauty Tips who recommends bi-weekly pedicures to ease aches and pains, reduce swelling and disinfect blisters or lesions.

Marsha Bialo’s suggestions:

Ø Give your feet a comfortable place to rest by folding a bath towel and positioning it at the bottom of a bucket.

Ø Mix half a cup of Epsom salt with some warm, soapy water to soften skin and calluses and dry out the bacteria from blisters.

Ø Remove old polish with a cotton pad soaked with nail polish remover, cut nails straight across with clippers then file them square to remove sharp edges.

Ø Soak for five minutes, dip a file into the water and use it to smooth your heels, the balls of your feet and the outer edges of your pinkie toes.

Ø Add Calcium Gel Fortifier or Ridge Filling Base Coat by China Glaze followed by a bright, summery coat of polish, and then finish with Seche Vite top coat for a lasting shine.

REATE A DAZZLING GRADATED LOOK WITH NEW SALLY HANSEN® INSTA-OMBRE™ NAIL COLOR

It’s official: Ombré is the look of the decade. From runways to red carpets, from highlights to home decor, a gradated wash of color is perpetually on trend. Now, Sally Hansen makes it easy to create a sparkling ombré manicure with new Insta-Ombre™ Special Effect.

Available in eight high-impact glitter shades, this clever and innovative ombre-in-a-bottle makes it easy for women to achieve the look in just three simple steps. First, apply one coat to clean, dry nails. Next, apply a second coat from mid-nail to the tip. Finally, apply a third coat to only the nail tip.

SALLY HANSEN INTRODUCES BIG PEELOFF BASE COAT^TM

Everyone wants a manicure that looks perfect, resists smudges, and removes easily. Traditionally, it hasn’t always been easy to achieve those desired results. Now, however, Sally Hansen introduces a nail essentials to simplify and improve the at-home manicure regimen: Big Peel Off Base Coat^TM .

For nail-art aficionados, glitter girls, and anyone else who lives for regular manicures, Big Peel Off Base Coat changeseverything. Nail polish remover can be harsh on nails, leaving them dry and brittle—and therefore, prone to breakage. Hard-to-remove special effects such as glitters, textures, and shimmers can damage nails further by scraping the nail surface and can be a time consuming removal process.

That all changes with the introduction of Big Peel Off Base Coat^TM. This fast, convenient easy base coat makes it easy to remove glitters and other special effect polishes in a single step. Just paint on the base coat, which quickly dries to a transparent finish. Apply nail polish as usual and enjoy the manicure. When it’s time for a change, simply peel off the polish in one fluid movement. No scrubbing, soaking, or fussing—just a clean, healthy-looking nail.

PRICE & AVAILABILITY: Sally Hansen’s new Big Peel Off Base Coat^TM , SRP $5.99 each, will be available in June 2015 at chain drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.

The Jojoba Company Australian Jojoba Review – Must Have Product

There are so many wonderful uses for the natural moisturizer Jojoba Oil. This is considered to be a liquid wax that’s proven to work wonders on the hair, skin, and nails.

My first introduction to Jojoba Oil was through a routine hair appointment. My hair is in a natural state (relaxer free) and my beautician suggested using JoJoba Oil on my scalp for nourishment. I was excited to try this product because it’s important to understand your individual hair and follicle needs.

Jojoba Oil this is the perfect product for moms because pregnancy can often alter the skin. For example, some women experience dryness or even worse stretch marks. It’s suggested that you simply place a small amount in your hand (a little goes a long way) and massage into the skin. The oil can be used on your face, legs, stomach area…basically the entire body. It works as an all – over body moisturizer so don’t hesitate to apply as needed.

Lastly, I am someone who has dry cuticles and nails. My beauty regime includes adding moisture to the hands and feet. When visiting the nail salon, my manicurist always applies two coats of olive oil to my nails. But when I’m at home, I like to use two drops of Jojoba Oil on my cuticles before bedtime to serve as an all natural product with no chemicals.

The Jojoba Company’s 100% Natural Australian Jojoba Oil is reasonably priced and can be purchased at www.thejojobacompany.com

Additional Tips –

Visibly balances and soothes the skin

Is a great way to gently cleanse off makeup

Helps smooth lines, wrinkles, or stretch marks

How-To Guide: Get Dressed in 15 Minutes or Less

We have days when time is not of the essence. We’re in a rush to get out of the door, whether it’s for a business meeting, play date, or even a trip to the grocery store. The truth of the matter is that leaving your home (quickly) can become a second job. It’s the reality of getting things accomplished while appearing to look pulled together.

No one wants to be that mom or girlfriend who lives in a baseball cap and sweats! Or even worse you can’t find anything to match in your wardrobe. Trust me, I’ve been there which is the reason for this post – How To Guide: Get Dressed in 15 Minutes or Less.

1. Don’t live your life without BB Cream, Mascara, Beauty Blender, and a bold shade of Lipstick. BB Cream is a combination between Lotion, Foundation, and SPF 15 in one small tube. This alone makes BB Cream a perfect addition to one’s makeup bag because you’re applying one product to serve three purposes. Use your Beauty Blender to apply quickly with a whip of mascara and that red lipstick (helps to wake up the eyes after lack of sleep.)

2. It’s great to own fifty pairs of earrings but when you’re in rush one needs a set that coordinates with anything. Always keep a pair of studs available in diamond, pearl, silver, or gold. Any of the various metals can coordinate quickly with your attire and help you accessorize quickly.

3. In my case (and everyone’s different) ladies of today’s era should own a “Quick Hair” collection. You’re probably asking, “what does that mean?” Quick hair is a fun nickname for various hair style options. For example, use of hair pieces, clip – in extensions, or even a hair wig can save time. There are moments when you’re not aware of what could happen on a daily basis; owning a quality hair piece can be an investment.

4. Nude pumps or flats are the latest go to girl’s bestfriend; they add a touch of sophistication to any attire. This particular shade of pumps coordinates well with your skin tone and helps to elongate the legs. They also match everything in your closet.

5. Two words: Spray Lotion…I often wonder, why did it take so long to create this product! Honestly, I really don’t know how I lived my life without spray lotion. For use, simply spray the area that needs hydration, rub in quickly, and go!

6. Always keep a neutral tone blazer in your closet that has been dry cleaned or ironed. One can wear a black blazer over a t shirt, blouse, dress, trousers, or with a pair of jeans. The options are endless but the most important aspect to remember is that this item should always be hanging in your closet (not in a bag with wrinkles.)

I hope the tips that I’ve provided will help everyone get dressed in 15 minutes or less. If you have any questions or want to share you’re own tips, please feel free to email me at kim@stylelifefashion.com

P.S. Don’t forget your sunglasses!
