Book Review: Rinnavation, Getting Your Best Life Ever.
Author: Lisa Rinna.
Talk about a pleasant surprise….Lisa Rinna’s book has me surprised! In Lisa’s new book, Rinnavation, she shares with us advice she’s learned over the years from celebrity stylists and celebrity hair and makeup artists. She also shares secrets on diet, exercise, beauty, even sex!
She shares a lot of her life with us in her book, to include her delicious husband, Harry Hamlin, and her two beautiful daughters. And for the record, she shares lots, and I mean lots, of sexual tricks in the bedroom she and Harry have. I love that spice about Lisa.
Another discovery is that Lisa is deep…spiritually, emotionally, sexually, etc. Beyond the blatant beauty she exudes (and such good hair), girlfriend is a self-help junkie and for that reason alone, one could love her! When a person reveals their card-carrying membership of the “Self-Help-Club”, you feel they are part of a society that few understand.
Self-help lovers are continually seeking excellence. They continually seek making the world a better place to live in for themselves and others. They continually strive to be more….to create more, to produce abundance. And they practice being happy beings. It’s an amazing secret-society, of sorts, that makes you feel more connected to one another. It’s an unwritten understanding between people who “get” the self-help genre, and those who don’t.
Lisa delves into her personal life and her beauty and fitness routines. She gives us the skinny on how she looks so darn good all the time. She even explains the lips…silicone! She explains the ambition….The Secret and the Power of Positive Thinking. She explains the happiness….Great sex life with Harry. She explains the body….fitness-fiend. She explains the boobs…plastic surgery.
In summary, Lisa tells you how to get your best life ever. The basic premise of it is, and always has been, exercise, eating well, big thinking, loving your life, and continual learning.
Five stars!

Sonia Kashuk, celebrity makeup artist to many stars, including Cindy Crawford, lists her 10 commandments for great skin.
- Protect yourself from the sun — use sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 and 2.
- Don’t — I repeat — don’tsmoke. Your skin is a large organ and it needs a lot of circulation. Smoking impairs that dramatically. That’s why smokers’ skin looks dull and gray. Instead of having oxy-generated blood delivered to the surface of the skin, they’re getting poisons and oxidants.
- Get adequate rest and nutrition.
- Protect yourself from stress — both emotional and environmental stress.
- Wash your face twice a day and put on the proper treatment product. I’m amazed when women tell me they don’t wash their face in the morning. A lot of icky stuff collects overnight — dead skin cells, dirt, and dust!
- Don’t neglect certain areas of the skin. Elbows, heels, neck, and decolletage need moisturizing, and your scalp and the tops of your feet need sun protection.
- Touch your face less and wash your hands more! Don’t get too surgical on yourself. It’s very tempting to pick, poke, squeeze, and scratch in front of the mirror. But the more you traumatize the skin, the greater your risk of scarring. Apply treatment products and let them work.
- Keep your makeup clean. Replace the sponges in your compact on a regular basis. Now and then, toss the whole works and start fresh — the average shelf life for cosmetics is 6 to 12 months. Don’t buy products so expensive that you’ll be heartbroken if you have to throw them away.
- Exercise moderation. More is not always better. Moisturizer, for example, is the most overused product in America. We’ve been bamboozled by cosmetic companies into thinking every square inch of our body has to be slathered. And it’s simply not true. Exfoliators are another thing to be careful with. Used too often, they overacidify and irritate your skin.
- Beware of counter girls. If it were up to them, you’d be in the bathroom for two and a half hours each morning — putting 80 layers on your face. Keep your regimen simple. And when you do add a new product, do it gradually so your skin has time to adjust. Each skincare or makeup product has an average of 20 to 40 ingredients — you’re introducing 20 to 40 potential allergens to your face every time you try something new.
What I’m loving right now….Supernatural Botanicals Pure Orange Bath and Shower Sea Salts. Formulated with European Spa Salts, Orange Peel, and Orange Essential Oil, this ultra-indulgent sea salt exfoliates skin and makes it radiate. To keep tops of hands from looking parched and dry, use a handful of salts while washing hands to gently exfolate skin on the hands.

Make this a habit! Hot towels placed on the face and chest are one of the easiest ways to feel ultra relaxed and ultra zen. This is an easy spa treatment that can be created at home for everyday use. You can elevate the experience with aromatherapeutic benefits by applying a few drops of essential oil to the towel. Lavender’s aromatherapy benefits are to calm and relax the mind and body. A citrus essential oil will produce a cheerful mood and enliven the spirit.
Simply saturate a white hand towel with water. Wring excess water from the towel. Place towel in the microwave in 30 second intervals, up to two minutes. Be sure not to get the towel too hot and burn your skin. Place several drops of essential oils (optional) directly to hot towel. The heat will instantly release the essential oil’s therapeutic benefits. Place hot towels on face, (leave a breathe hold) and upper chest.
Lie down and relax for 10-15 minutes with the towels draping your face and chest. Feel free to re-microwave your towel(s) if it becomes too cool.
Make deep relaxation with aromatherapy a habit. It relaxes not only the body, but also the mind. It’s a perfect way to decompress at the end of the day. It’s also super beneficial for the skin, opening up pores, allowing the skin to breathe.
This is a great at home spa treatment that can be done every day, and cost you absolutely nothing. Love that! Try this today!
