A new Winter season is at our doors and with the cold weather comes also the desire to get away.
Whether you're jetting off for a long getaway or a week on a resort, these tricks will ensure you will have everything you need.
Make a List: Everything you think you will need on your trip, from Clothing to Toiletries. Lay everything out on a bed and check off the items on your list, so you won't forget anything (the check list is also great in case the airline loses your suitcase, it's a record of everything you packed).
Pick a General Color scheme: That way your clothes always go together and you never pack a shirt you won't be able to use. Stick with neutral basics and add a few touches of color with accessories (fun jewelry, scarves and belts). Always bring a lightweight sweater jacket for layering.
Always Pack sexy shoes: At least one pair of high heel shoes can dress up any outfit, even shorts!
Avoid Wrinkles: Softly fold you clothes and pack them separately -don't layer softer fabrics with harder ones. Pack jeans with jeans and cotton shirts with cotton shirts. Layer the heaviest fabrics at the bottom and the lightest at the top.
Pack a wrinkle remover for a special outfit. Hang the outfit, spray it gently with the wrinkle remover and smooth it down with the palm of your hand. Leave it hanging until dry.
Store Jewelry Separately: Pack the pieces of jewelry in a freezer bag to avoid it snagging your clothes and wrap each piece in tissue paper, to avoid them tangling and getting broken.
Never pack Documents in the suitcase: Keep all your documents on yourself at all times, never pack important documents, money or cards in your suitcase.
Safe Travels these holiday season and as always...

Great Skin Care- Dermalogica
You should all know by now what a big keener I am in learning about beauty products, so it will 
be no surprise that I attended another skin care course today. I have recently learned about a skin care line with amazing credibility and I wanted to do my own research, to my amazement I am in love!!!
Dermalogica is a skin care line started by Jane Wurwand, the skin therapist who's also credited for founding The International Dermal Institute (IDI) in the Los Angeles area in 1983. Since no other skin care line embraced her belief of skin health (as opposed to "beauty"), she developed her own skin care line (in 1986).
I was very much impressed by the brand: it is a product line free of common irritants and ingredients that could cause breakouts (including Lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances) and improves skin health (instead of only cosmetic concerns).
I was excited to learn that all the Dermalogica products are manufactured in the USA, never have taken part in animal testing and is sold ONLY where professional consultation and
professional treatment are performed by trained skin therapist (Professional Spas).
Dermalogica is also a privately owned company (not owned by a beauty conglomerate, hoding company or financers) and is driven first by Education and Research!!!
I was so excited to get my hands on their Skin bar today...let me tell you about their products;
they have an impressive array of skin care: Cleansers, exfoliants, moisturizers (from tinted to Acne prone skin) hand creams, a sun protection line, a Age Smart line, an Acne line (one for adult Acne and
one for teenagers), a men's line (from shaving products to deodorant), a treatment foundation line and even shampoo!
Every corner of the face and body is analyzed by their skin therapist through "Skin Mapping" and every single inch of your body can be prescribed with the specific product to suit its needs!
During the class we had the privilege to try on all the products and as I said previously I am in love with Dermalogica! It is a statement which I do not make easily with many skin care lines (especially after my Adult Acne breakouts) as my standards are quite high, but I found that Dermalogica products are as true as it claims and their representative more knowledgeable and honest than I expected.
I highly recommend this line, to find a spa near you that retails the Dermalogica line go to www.dermalogica.com and learn more about the company at www.dermalinstitute.ca if you have the chance, register to one of their classes and learn all the benefits this skin care line has to offer.
Remember, certain skin care problems are genetic, and might not be resolved by any products, but with a good skin care line you can look as good as you feel!

How to Use a Big Bristle Brush
Hi everyone, I just filmed a tutorial on how to use a Big Bristle Brush. Most people are confused about the great quality of this brush and what it can do for you, so I hope the video will help clarify the confusion.
The other product I mentioned is Moroccan Oil and I love it!!! Make sure you use only a dime size drop of oil for your hair. You will love its fast absorbent, non-greasy formula and how soft it leaves your hair and it smells gorgeous!!
