We can play an active roll in our anti aging process by taking good care of our skin on a daily basis.  Often times it is easy to skip a morning or evening of skin care, especially when we drag our already-half-asleep selves to bed after a long day.  But, taking the extra five minutes to check anti aging treatment off your to-do list will be worth it in the end. Learn a few skin care tips you can do every day to keep your skin looking clear and beautiful. Your  Daily  Dose  of  Anti  Aging
We hear this all the time, but drink more water. Properly hydrated skin will minimize fine lines. These four steps; Cleanse, moisturize, eye treatment, lip balm application – need to be done morning and evening. WITHOUT FAIL. Unclean skin is a breeding ground for bacteria and that works against the anti-aging process. Moisturizer, eye cream and lip balm, applied morning and evening, help to seal in moisture and help aid healing. Becky Sturm, CEO/Founder, StormSister Spatique Omeg…

NONTOXIQUE.

As featured in Nails Magazine.

When it turned out the nail and beauty products she used every day as a nail tech were making her sick, Sheila Fredriksen sought out healthy, holistic, and effective products to use instead. When she found nothing that fit the bill, she hired a chemist and together they created the NONTOXIQUE line of hand and foot care products.

“Our formulas are 100% authentically natural,” she says. “Each product is made from pure plant and fruit parts right out of nature  — not adulterated, nutritionally stripped, synthetic, or left biologically inactive. Following the holistic paradigm, all ingredients work synergistically together to support or enhance the healing and regenerative ability of each ingredient.”

I love waking up to find them in my email box.

Hi Becky – I’m not interested in buying anything at the moment but have meant to write to you since last summer when I ordered a favored nail polish color that I’d been unable to find anywhere locally.  I placed the order with you and received it in the blink of an eye!  I really appreciated the terrific service and have your site bookmarked and the material you included with my order tucked away for future reference.  Hope business is going well and thanks again.

Today is going to be a great day!

I'm on a new mission with my shhh. grooming bars. I want men (and women) to "think outside the can".

Shaving products don't have to come from a can, or bottle or tube. They can come from a 100% natural, plant-based bar. One with recyclable packaging that is also perfect for travel and your gym bag.

Please, don't think "soap". You may have used a soap bar as a shaving product, but you have never used a "soap" like this one. Trust me, I've spent my entire career in the beauty biz and I know how drying soap can be.
Give it a whirl.

Read the ingredient deck on your can of foam.
Example: Water (Aqua), Palmitic Acid, Triethanolamine, Stearic Acid, Isopentane, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Monoglycerides, Sorbitol, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera Gel), Fragrance, PVP, Isobutane, PEG 90M, FD&C Blue 1 (CI 42090)
What are all ofthose?

Now, here is the ingredient deck for shhh.: Saponified (with sodium hydroxide) oils of olive…

Enjoy!

Vie Collection has just launched a new serum: Youth Elixir 3.2 System.

As you may know, this is the skincare line I am most loyal to. Though I have to sample and test many skincare brands, this is always my "must have" range. It is instant gratification in regard to result-focused skincare for anti-aging.

Don't get me wrong, the other skincare brands I carry are all great for the skin. Vie just packs the biggest punch. This is luxury skincare for those who are serious about their skin.

Our 3waybeautybrand is proud to be donating to this wonderful event.

Saturday, February 25, 2012, the Animal Humane Society (AHS) is holding their annual Whisker Whirl event.

This fundraising gala is a party for people and their pups, with an evening of dinner, live music, silent and live auctions, and a Fund-A-Need auction to raise money for animals in need.

With five Twin Cities locations, AHS cares for nearly 35,000 companion animals each year.  Supported only by donations and fees, they are a private, nonprofit organization with locations in Buffalo, Coon Rapids, Golden Valley, St. Paul, and Woodbury.  Besides adoption, they also offer services in humane investigations, boarding, training, and education.

Whisker Whirl promises to be a spectacular event and I hope you will support this important fundraiser.

FYI - We have had several clients tell us that they use their shhh. grooming bar on their pooch!

INtelligent Nutrients CERTIFIED ORGANIC ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE is now available in EXPERIENCE SIZES

FOUR OF THE TOP TEN SELLERS EXPAND TO INCLUDE NEW TRAVEL SIZES

Your skin shows what your body knows. All day, everyday, it battles free radicals. The result is inflammation, and the by-products are blemishes, bags, lines and eventually wrinkles. Conventional products conspire to help you ignore this fact, for now. Synthetics huff and puff, temporarily inflating skin to disguise lines. Skin looks smoother for the moment.

Declare immunity for skin by changing how you care for it so skin can reclaim its birthright to defend and regenerate itself:

Effective cleansers and make-up removers, the Rituel de Vie products also offer ideal skin preparation to optimize the application of skincare products. They offer a wonderful, relaxing therapy by preparing the skin to help it combat the damaging effects of stress that weaken cells and diminish their receptiveness to ingredients.

The research on stress, carried out by the Vie Collection laboratory, revealed the exceptional properties of Helichrysol. This seaside plant, exposed to many harsh environmental conditions (UV rays, wind, salinity, etc.), has created its own defense system by producing relaxing, aromatic molecules. Enriched with an extract of these molecules capable of reducing levels of the hormone responsible for skin stress by up to 76%, the Rituel de Vie range provides an ideal beauty ritual. Skin is perfectly replenished and relaxed, and regains its serenity, balance, and vitality.
