Read your shampoo labels.  Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) can result in eye damage, irritations, and skin rashes.  SLS can penetrate children’s eyes and prevent them from developing properly.  It may also cause cataracts in adults.  You’ll be shocked to learn this dangerous ingredient is in many store-bought shampoos …including traditional baby shampoos that allege they are mild.  (Go ready your shampoo label now.)  Read those labels, make better choices, buy wisely, go green. 

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! 

   Not utilizing the nozzle that came with your blow dryer?  You should be.  The nozzle concentrates and controls airflow to speed dry hair, keeping hair from whipping around, therefore, keeping hair healthier.  Aiming the nozzle down the hair shaft increases shine.   

   Keep your hair healthy this summer.  Get your hair completely wet before going into the pool or ocean.  By saturating the hair with water first, it creates a barrier from the chlorine or salt water. 

No. 11: Cincinnati, Ohio

It’s the 7th most polluted city in the U.S., but here is the real kicker, Cincinnati has only eight hairstylists listed on yellowpages.com … No comment necessary.

According to TotalBeauty.com, Cincinnati ranks 11 of 13 Worst Hair Cities. 

In an economic time when most magazines are packing their bags and calling it a day, Organic Beauty magazine comes along.  Organic Beauty magazine is a new, eco-conscious magazine not exclusively focused on beauty products.  Organic Beauty is, in many ways, a complete lifestyle magazine, well-rounded with articles on style, health, fitness, parenting and business—but always with its lens on beauty.  I love the idea of an eco-chic magazine!  It’s truly the wave of the future, so get in touch, get in tune, and find out what eco-friendly is all about.  Organic Beauty is on newsstands now.

It’s all about the natural…and Catherine Zeta Jones gets it.  Clearly, this is one girl who can afford the most expensive skincare and haircare products on the market, but CZJ opts to go all natural and the results are paying off, huge! 

In regard to keeping her skin looking super healthy and exfoliated, CZJ says “I rub a mixture of honey and salt all over my body to moisturise and exfoliate. You wash it off and your skin is gorgeous.”  

To keep her gorgeous locks shinny, CZJ says “I do condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards but it’s very good for the hair.” 

And to avoid the dreaded “coffee teeth”, CZJ says “I love to eat an apple after a meal, just to cleanse my teeth – they always look polished afterwards.  If you can’t have an apple, a strawberry or pineapple works too.  The juice or pulp of strawberries contains malic acid which serves as an astringent and can lighten surface stains.  Pineapples work the same way.”

We tip our eco-hat to Catherine Zeta Jones.  She’s smart enough to know what works, and it all comes back to nature.   Way to be Green, CZJ.
