Sponsored Post: How to Get Perfectly Smooth Skin This Summer
With summer knocking at my door, I have become rather obsessed with getting my body smooth and sexy for the season. My goal is to have my skin soft, smooth, hair free with a slight golden glow and healthy sheen just in time for maxi dress season! And in my opinion, there is nothing sexier than gorgeous, supple, satiny smooth skin which can really make you feel much more confident!
My current skin smoothing ritual is SUPER simple, involves only three products/tools and has made my skin ridiculously smooth, soft and irresistible (just ask my hubby!) Would you like to know my secret trio?
Number 1: Philips Satin Perfect Epilator
First, I remove all of my unwanted hair with my Philips Satin Perfect Epilator
I recently discovered hair removal with an epilator thanks to Philips and I have been hooked ever since! Getting rid of your unwanted body hair with an epilator is simple, fast and easy, however it does take a little getting used to. Epilation removes hair from the root which is a bit intense at first, but the long lasting smooth results are worth the mild discomfort. I especially love the results that I get with the Satin Perfect Epilator on my underarms, the smooth results last for weeks!! LOVE!
Q-tips Precision Tips: A Classic Product Reinvented
I have pretty much been using Q-tips my entire life and they are without a doubt an essential beauty/grooming/life tool that I always have on hand. Dare I say, I couldn’t live without them?!!
I was delighted to learn that recently this iconic little swab has modernized itself and come out with a fabulous enhanced version of it’s classic self called Q-tips® Precision Tips™ cotton swabs. This refreshing new design has pointed tips at both ends, making them ideal for precise application, accurate touch-ups, and for reaching small spaces.
So, Q-tips asked this beauty maven to test out these new Precision Tips and share how I would incorporate them into my beauty regimen. Here are some of my suggestions:
Spa Week Sneak Peak: Thai Sabai Traditional Thai Massage
Calling all Beauty Luvahs, have you heard the news? National Spa Week 2012 is taking place next week April 16-22, 2012 and all treatments are ONLY $50, WOOT! WOOT! Spa Week is the largest and most anticipated spa event in North America since 2004 and many of the nation’s top spas select some of their best signature treatments for you to experience at a significantly reduced rate, which makes pampering much more affordable and accessible to all, love that! And all that you have to do to take advantage of the amazing $50 treatments is go to www.SpaWeek.com, search for spas in your area, and then call the spa directly to book your appointment.
Well, I confess that I have the best job in the world because I get to test drive all these amazing spa treatments and services and share my experiences with you, so I was delighted when Spa Week reached out and told me that a local Thai Massage Spa had requested that an influential LA beauty blogger come in and try their signature service before Spa Week and they picked me! I was especially excited because I have heard amazing things about Thai Massage for years but have never had the opportunity to try one.
Before I tell you all about my amazing experience, I wanted to give you a little background on Thai Massage. Traditional Thai Massage dates back more than more than 5,000 years to ancient India and China incorporating elements of Ayeurvedic medicine, Hatha yoga and Chinese acupressure. Thai Massage is a unique healing art that combines gentle yoga-like stretching with massage of the muscles, pressure points and energy lines to release tension, relieve aches and pains, detoxify the internal organs and improve circulation. A typical Thai Massage is performed on a floor mat which allows the practitioner to get the body leverage necessary for the stretches and postures performed. An authentic Thai massage normally takes 90 minutes because it is a holistic approach that incorporates a series of integrated, sequenced postures designed to relax and heal the body.
