The Legs Were Made For More Than Walking

There are many prices we pay for staying in style and being successful. Uncomfortable pain in the leg and foot area is experienced by many men and women. A recent study showed that 50% of women and 20% of men suffered from aching, heavy and tense feeling legs and feet.  Most of us tolerate the inconvenience of these feelings and chalk them up to getting older. However, in most cases they can be prevented but, most definitely treated.

We tend to experience these unwanted aches and pains due mainly in part to our general lifestyle and other factors of our everyday life. Tired leg syndrome (TLS) is a common problem that begins due to swelling and weakening of the leg and foot muscles. Women are more prone to be afflicted with this than men due to wearing high heels, staying on the feet caring for the home and their families and simply by being on the go. However, men and women both are affected when they have a job that requires them to be on their feet a lot and even on the go a large portion of the day.

Vericose Veins

Freedom From Aches
& Pains Can Be Yours

Ultimately, TLS can occur as a result of venous insufficiency. This will in turn cause heavy, tired and aching feet and legs. Venous insufficiency is a condition in which improper blood flow causes swelling, varicose veins and/or edema. This condition can also be caused by neuropathy which is nerve damage. You can give your legs and feet the attention they need and deserve. 



Massage Away the Pain



There are things we can to do treat and prevent this condition. For more severe cases, you will need to seek the direction of a physician. But, for minor cases, that are nagging you can try various exercises, changing your footwear, soaking your legs and feet in warm water and massaging the area throughout the week. If you experience tired leg and feet and want a quick remedy you should definitely try the new Mary Kay Mint Bliss Energizing Lotion for Feet & Legs ($10). This is a light weight, cool mint formula that gives relief to tired and aching legs and feet. This item has become a customer favorite.  By having this item at your fingertips you will experience relief without spending a fortune.

Pamper Your Legs & Feet

LIVE LIKE THE SUPER STAR THAT YOU ARE

As I have started on this new business endeavor, I present myself to you as an Independent/Professional Beauty Consultant. For some of you, the title “beauty consultant” may be just a polished way of saying “makeup salesperson.” However, I wanted to take some time to explain just what this title means and the responsibilities one must embrace as they make the decision to proudly adopt the label of “beauty consultant.”  Contrary to popular belief, as a Mary Kay Independent/Professional Beauty Consultant, is not simply an annoying lady in pink trying to shove her products down your throat.  I am so much more.

A beauty consultant is someone who provides advice about personal appearance, with a focus on enhancing a person’s beauty, helping those less confident individuals find and embrace their beauty and for the career driven we help them to look professionally polished. Beauty consultants are not only found working directly for cosmetic companies such as Mary Kay but, they are also employed by department stores. They sell their products by showing individuals how they work and they can best be used to improve personal appearance. Often times they can also run private consulting agencies used by people who want to make radical changes to the way they look. You may not be aware that beauty consultants also staff makeover television shows and other services which are designed to provide image makeovers. In fact, beauty consultants are also referred to as image consultants, style consultants and stylists. We can and do fall under these labels when we are approached to help a person with their overall look including their fashion choices. After all, when you have the desire to look a certain way your attire is naturally affected by the transformation.

In today’s world with the belief that “image is everything” dominating so many job market arenas, there has been a great demand for beauty consultants.  But, the desire to look your best doesn’t just stop with the professional world. Whether we like it or not, EVERYONE is in the public eye. Whether it is through job interviews, traditional media, social networking or the all pervasive video recorders and cell phone cameras, we can be caught in the moment sometimes without our knowledge.  You are not alone if you want to improve how you come across to others.

Your Time Is Valuable

It is a great misconception that you can only have a personal beauty consultant if you were rich, famous or powerful. All it requires is your desire to display your personal beauty to its best form. The convenience of being able to pick up the phone, or send an e-mail and tell your consultant “I need this” is simply priceless. You no longer have to find the time to go to the store and hope and pray that they have your product in stock. Your time is precious regardless of who you are. Why waste your lunch hour rushing to pick up your makeup when you could actually enjoy that time for yourself. You no longer have to deal with the headache of traffic to get fulfill your beauty needs. Moms, how many times have you been in the midst of your daily rush when you realize you are completely out of your cosmectic products and found yourself wondering how you were going to find the time to get what you need in the midst of all of your other duties?  With having your own personal beauty consultant, the product and the service come to you. Ho

w great is that!?!

As my customer you will find that the benefits of my services surpass any that you will acquire over the counter. Where else can you give yourself a virtual makeover while sitting in your pajamas and watching television? Having a beauty consultant opens your world up to endless possibilities with fashion, glamour, self confidence, health and friendships.  

Gift Giving Can Be Easy

And guys, do not feel like you would not benefit from a personal beauty consultant. Perhaps you don’t find yourself in need of the cosmetics women use but, you may have your own image/personal needs that you need assistance with. Also, how many times have you found yourself at your whit’s end trying to figure out a gift for special lady or ladies in your life? By having your own personal beauty consultant this task never has to be an emotional and physical burden on you again.

As stated on my website, as my customer you can create your ideal beauty experience. I offer personalized service that is designed to fit you! Just tell me if you would like one-on-one consultation, a party hosted by you with your friends, a virtual party, makeup tips, skincare advice, or free samples. Remember that you can always “try before you buy”.  I also offer services for weddings, mother-daughter events, spa parties, “diva dinners” and so many more.  If you aren’t sure what exactly your needs are we can work together to determine just what they are. If you prefer to shop online only or order by e-mail or phone, the choice is totally YOURS!!! I would love to help you any or all of your image needs.  Let’s talk.

EVEN YOUR LIPS DESERVE A TRIP TO THE SPA

With the changing of this week’s temperatures here in Florida I have had several people (male and female) ask me about ways to treat their dry,chapped and even cracked lips. I have personally had to deal with this myself year round and decided to research the subject. Not only was I directly affected me but, my youngest son was constantly plagued by chapped/cracked lips to the point that they would bleed at times. This is common among young children because they are constantly licking their lips and we as mom’s are always making sure to keep Chap Stick on hand. For him it was always worse in the winter and I know that this is the case for many of us. For others it can be a year round battle.  Chapped lips are the result of diminished moisture in the skin on and around the lips. In most cases, chapped lips are caused by the elements. Therefore, the change in climates (extreme or not) can and will affect the texture/condition of your lips. Keep in mind that there are other factors, such as frequent licking of the lips or an allergic reaction that may be the cause. Chapped/cracked lips are a common condition and can be treated fairly simply and inexpensively.

Does This Happen To You?

Chapped lips are marked by dry, cracked, painful lips and may result in a red ring around the mouth and in severe cases even bleeding. In the summer, the sun can be responsible for chapped lips, but routine use of a lip balm/chap stick containing sunscreen can prevent summertime chapped lips. In the wintertime, chapped lips are a more common problem, because the air is dry and the cold wind further dries the lips out. Many people lick their lips to relieve the dryness, making the problem worse. Just as in the summertime, treating chapped lips in the winter can be done with a moisturizing lip balm containing sunscreen.

In my attempts to battle this unattractive and uncomfortable issue I finally stumbled upon a “miracle” treatment that has helped to resolve the issue. Before becoming a Mary Kay consultant I attended a Mary Kay party being hosted by a girlfriend of mine. One of the products being featured was the “Satin Lips” for $18. This item sparked my interest and I purchased it. After the first treatment I literally saw and felt the difference; not only for myself but for my children as well. Needless to say my family & I have been devoted users of it ever since. I no longer have to keep a tube of Chap Stick in my car, my purse, the kids’ backpacks or what seemed to be every room of the house. I simply practice the two step process of “Satin Lips” twice a week.

First, you apply the Satin Lips Lip Mask. This step effectively exfoliates dead surface skin cells that cause lips to appear dull and lifeless. You will leave the mask on your lips for two minutes then simply wipe it off. Not only are you wiping away the mask but, the dead skin cells that cause the appearance of chapped/cracked lips. The next step is to apply the Satin Lips Lip Balm. You will apply this just as you would any lip balm or chap stick. Clinical results show that a single application of Satin Lips Lip Balm moisturizes the lips for at LEAST six hours. If you choose you can use the Satin Lips Lip Balm daily to get the maximum conditioning and to maintain that ultra-smooth texture that Satin Lips Lip Balm gives you. This product is available for purchase as a set or separately but, I strongly recommend using them together to achieve the most healthy, visible and gorgeous results. By using these items on your lips, you are giving your lips the same treatment you do (or should do) to the rest of your skin. We exfoliate our face, our legs, and it is proven that our lips need and deserve it too!!



Insure Your "Pucker Perfect Lips"



You do not have to suffer from this condition in order to use this product. If you belong to the lucky/blessed group of individuals who do not have this problem you can insure that you do not become a member of the "chapped lip club" (LOL). They say prevention is the best medicine and I know that to be true testament with this product. A friend of mine who is an avid skier (both water and snow) uses this product faithfully. He is proud to say he has never had an issue with chapped lips and claims “having good genes has nothing to do with it”. Research has proven Alex’s statement to be true. Genes do not affect your chances of having chapped lips (or not)….just nature. So why not secure your “pucker perfect” lips by using "Satin Lips" as your own personal lip spa.  





In the event that chapped lips become a severe problem, such as with habitual licking, and the redness, cracking and dryness become so painful that talking or chewing is difficult, you should use a medicated lip balm. Avoid using flavored lip balm, as it can encourage more frequent licking of the lips, especially in children.

Children Are Habitual Lickers Causing Worse Cases
of Chapped Lips

If you choose to not introduce and/or implement a lip care and maintenance program like “Satin Lips” into your current skincare routine please be sure to practice other forms of personal care for your dry, chapped lips. Frequent and regular application of lip balm often relieves chapped lips without further incident. Other ways to prevent chapped lips include increasing the amount of humidity in your home and covering your lips with a ski mask or scarf in the winter. Frequent washing of the mouth followed by application of lip balm also helps alleviate the discomfort associated with chapped lips. In some cases, a prescription lip balm may be required if the symptoms are not alleviated with regular treatment or if chapped lips become so severe that the skin begins to bleed.
