Yes, most of know the importance of protecting our skin from the sun, but when it comes to protecting our eyes, some people forget.
Wearing the right sunglasses is a key way to not only look good but also to helping you see better on a sunny day.
I don’t know about you, but driving without sunglasses is bad news for me. The sun can hurt your eyes, cause blind spots and could cause an accident if you’re not careful.

There are lots of great designers out there that make hot shades, but my fav (at the moment) is Maui Jim.
I bought a pair of his polarized sunglasses in the spring and it was one of the best purchases I’ve made.
Polarized lenses give the ultimate in sun protection for your eyes. Maui Jim was the first to do polarized lenses and they do it well.

I do own other designer sunglasses that I adore but my new favorite is Maui Jims.
Don’t worry Ray Ban and Gucci – I still love you too.

Time to give props again to Lancome!
Last time I wrote about them, I was telling you about their Oscillation Mascara.
Today, it’s about the eyes again but this time it’s their eyeshadow!

This is my favorite eyeshadow compact at the moment!
It’s called Color Design and it’s being sold for a limited time.

Go online or to your nearest Lancome counter and buy Lancome’s Color Design

Haven’t done one of my website shout outs in a while.
I need to do this more regularly!

A big shout out goes out to… drum roll please.

Groupon.com hooks users up with really great deals.
I just bought a groupon (coupon) and saved lots of money!
It gets better – if you refer people and they buy a groupon, groupon will give you $10.
What goes around comes around I guess.

I’m loving Alex and Ani bracelets!
They’re eco-friendly and super stylish. I have a small wrist and sometimes it’s hard to find a bracelet that fits right – NOT a problem with Alex and Ani’s bracelets! You can adjust the size so that it can fit on you. – - – PERFECT

I started my collection with 4 bracelets and plan on building to it. I went with a mother of pearl bracelet with 3 variations of russian gold bracelets. What’s cool is that you can buy a set of bracelets or you can buy individual bracelets and create your own custom set.

Their website is great too because you can design your set right online!

When it comes to killing your hair by over processing it, I’m the Queen. I’ve taken my dark brown, corkscrew curls, and transformed them to golden brown and blond straight tresses.

I’ve battled my genes in a quest to get looks fitting of any modern magazine. Fine and curly, meets hot and ceramic, my flat iron wins every time.

I finally after 4 yrs of coloring, I decided to go back to brown, and give my hair such much needed R&R. While coloring it darker helped restore some shine, I needed more.

I came across Ojon® oil at a local Ulta, and decided to give it a try.

While the price made me balk ($20 for the smallest jar, $50 for something barely double the size) I was desperate for something to help restore moisture to my badly parched locks.

Ojon® oil is highly-concentrated hair and scalp treatment, Ojon® claims to hydrates dry, damaged hair.

I took my little jar home in hopes of a miracle. I measured out the specified amount and slathering it on my very dry hair. I put a shower cap on and went to bed (taking extra precaution by putting a towel on my pillow case)

The next morning I showered, and washed my hair (using my normal shampoo and conditioner) Now the test, would my hair look any better when I tried to straighten it?

45 mins later SUCCESS. My hair looked shiner and was visibly smoother. My fly always diminished and there was a healthier look to it as well.

I recommend this product to other process-aholics. I would suggest buying the smallest jar, and giving it a try. At the very least it restores shine, and at the most it disguises some of the damage that comes with passionately owning styling tools

It’s summer time! Time for BBQs, sailing, going to the beach, vacations, etc.
Many of us remember to protect our skin from the sun by using lotions with SPF and many of us forget to protect our scalp.
I don’t know about you, but I hate when my scalp gets burnt from the sun. It hurts. A lot.

Recently, I bought an O’Neill hat (I got mine at Dicks Sporting Goods store).
Brought it on vacation with me and it was a wise decision. Not only did my scalp not get burnt, it also helped my face from burning too.
Oh, and it’s super cute on. I got tons of compliments.

Essie always comes out with great nail polish colors in the summer.
This summer they did it again. If you haven’t seen them already – you have to check it out!
I particularly love the Resort Collection!
http://www.essie.com/seasonal/

I’m going to try every color this summer. Every pedicure to be had will be a different polish from the collection.
LOVE the Turquoise and Caicos! Looks great with a tan!

Yeah, so I like to experiment and try new shampoo and conditioner.
The latest is S Factor Smoothing formula!
I’ve used the Sulfate Free kind back when I had the Brazilian Keratin Treatment done on my hair and loved that so I’m not surprised I love the other kinds too.
The shampoo and condition smells like grapes – hmmm so lovely
It leaves your hair so smooth and shiny but not greasy and oily looking.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes it’s hard for me to keep my tan.. It stays for a bit but then my skin peels and the tan fades.
If you’re like me and want your tan to last longer, check out Australian Gold’s Tan Extender lotion.
It smells AMAZING and feels great on the skin.
