    Watch one episode of The Real Housewives, in any city of your choice, and you will see what inspired this post.. These women have the faces of 22 year olds (Actually, they look 50 but after so much surgery their faces are as tight as a 22 year olds), but then they have the neck of 90 year olds! A few too many years in the tanning bed definitely catches up with you girls.

    I wanted to post a helpful reminder to never neglect the rest of your body when using your favorite skin care products. Hands, neck and chest areas all begin to age along with our faces, so next time you’re lathering up in firming creams, don’t forget the rest of your body!

    Just to be sure, here are some helpful tips to keep your neck as healthy as your face! No use having a fresh looking face with an old saggy neck :)

    1- You should always have a perfectly clean neck. Clean it in the morning and at night, just like you would do with your face.

    2- Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! During the day, and before bed, massage down to the cleavage smoothing deep neck wrinkles.

    3- During the day, apply a sunscreen lotion with SPF of at least 15 to protect future neck wrinkles.

    4- At night, apply a nutritive product, again with a massage to help cellular renovation.

    5- Use a mild exfoliator once a week. Don’t overdo it as the skin’s neck is very sensitive. To rejuvenate the neck the natural way check these neck skin recipes .

    6- In attempt to repair any current neck skin wrinkles, apply a moisturizer or anti aging mask once or twice weekly.

    7- If you want more drastic results, you can use laser treatments, botox or hyaluronic acid for neck fine lines and wrinkles .

    8- To rejuvenate a sagging neck try a beauty treatment such as Mesolift. Read the article about mesolitf in anti aging treatments .

    9- Help to lift sagging neck with these neck exercises . Chin ups! ;)

    10- Throughout the day, avoid looking down for long periods of time. By looking down, you are creating furrowing in your neck which leads to unwanted neck creases. The same can happen when you use super high pillows at night when you sleep. Try to keep your neck crease free over long periods of time to prevent extra wrinkles.
    Some helpful tips and an ever so important reminder to steer clear of looking like a Real Housewife of OC. Anyone else have any helpful neck wrinkle tips?

    Congrats to Korres MONOI OIL Natural Bronzer for winning my BRONZE OFF! I had several companies send me their latest and greatest bronzers in attempt to choose one bronze-aliscious winner and out of tons and tonssss, my hands down favorite was Korres Natural Bronzer in Sunglow Warm.

    Before my Bronze Off, I was having SUCH a hard time finding a bronzer that worked with my face foundation. For some reason I kept getting a crazy, murky bronzer build up which resulted in me having to do my face make up TWICE every night. I have no idea why it would work the second time and not the first, but the point is it was ruining my life!

    Kiss my murky mug goodbye because Korres solved my problem. Their natural bronzer is perfect!

    Reasons I loveeee ♥ Korres Monoi Oil Bronzer:

    * Great color- very wam, not orange, a perfect bronzed contrast color. Great for cheeks only or for an all over sun-kissed look.

    * Build-able Coverage- Applies flawlessly and allows you to create the darkness you want. Add more, add less, up to you!

    * Incredibly user friendly, entirely fool proof unlike most bronzers which can mess up your make up causing you to have to restart your make up.

    * All natural ingredients!

    MONOI OIL

    Bronzing Powder $28.00

    Korres also has tons and tonssss of other amazing natural beauty products. To visit their website please click here.

    Just wanted to post a quick update on how I was doing with the Kardashian skin care line… Also, a lot of you have been emailing me asking about it so I wanted to address those questions as well. I am on month 2 of using the line and so far so good! Like any new skin care line, it took my skin a day or two to adjust to the change, but after that it was smooth sailing! My skin is super hydrated, glowing and I notice a few wrinkles have become finer. To read my initial review click here. Now for your questions:

    1. What exactly is their skin care line for? The Kardashian skin care line is just like any other skin care line, it’s made to overall improve the condition of your skin. It’s not just for acne or wrinkles, it targets everything in one! It also is designed for all skin types, dry, oily and normal. I consider myself to have normal/a bit dry skin and this line helped hydrate my skin. You can read what each product does here.

    2. Where can you buy Perfect Skin? Only on their website for now. Click here to view.

    3. Does it work? My skin seems to stay the same no matter what products I use, so it’s honestly hard to tell who to give credit to, The Kardashians or my skin. Sure every now and then I have bad days but overall my skin is clear. This line did help hydrate my skin and I really liked the face toner for after washing. I hateeee how your skin feels dry after washing and the toner instantly hydrated my skin before the face lotion. I think this line would work best for people who have skin in moderate condition and who are just looking for a new daily skin care line to overall improve their skin. Healthier glow, smoother lines, hydration etc… I’m not sure I would buy this if I had serious skin problems, you might need something a bit more medicated if you have bad skin problems. Then again, I have read reviews of people who had bad skin and claim Perfect Skin cleared it up! I can only speak for myself :)

    Overall a great skin care line, I love the smells and consistencies of all the products. I would definitely buy the bigger package of the two though, because the smaller one runs out before 30 days, it did for me at least. Maybe I used it too much :)

    I know, I know, I’m such a sucker for The Kardsahian’s, but this time being a sucker paid off because after testing out their new skin care line, Perfect Skin, I’m obsessed! I first heard about this line through the Kardashian’s Twitter accounts, as well as on their t.v. infomercial, it left me wondering hmm, is this product legit? Or just another product the girls were endorsing to beef up their bank accounts? Well, the verdict is in and so far it’s super legit!

    I think my favorite part of the entire skin care line is the fact that it’s an organized stepped process. Being the typical girly girl I loveeee all beauty processes, they’re so much fun to do before bed ;) You have two options, the 3 piece or 5 piece kit. For $29.95, The 3 piece Kardashian Perfect Skin Care line comes with a facial cleanser, a spray toner, a hydrating face cream and a few reusable big sponges to use with the cleanser. If you want the complete 5 piece kit, you get everything the 3 piece comes with plus a 30 min face mask and a firming under eye cream for $39.90. The entire kit is super easy to follow, and they’re the perfect size for girls on the go like me, very easy to travel with. As far as the actual products go?

    The face wash smells deliciousssss, my comparison? An Orange Dream Machine smoothie from Jamba Juice, yum ;) Tropical orange paradise. I also love it because it totally removes make up unlike some face washes and doesn’t dry my face out. The toning spray is sooo refreshing I want to use it over and over throughout the day. My only criticism? The toner goes much faster than the other products, it could be a bit bigger to last more evenly. Maybe I just use too much? Can’t help it ;) The under eye cream feels a bit tingly when you use it, but in a good way. You can tell it’s eating away at your wrinkles! And the moisturizing face cream is very smooth and hydrates your skin well! I hope to notice results soon. Do I look like Kim yet?

    I just received the package yesterday so I haven’t been able to see the overall results yet but I figured I’d update with pictures after I get the full effects of this line.

    My skin is pretty dry, so I am hoping this line will help hydrate my skin. I also enjoy packing on make up and sunless tanners, so I need a skin care line to keep off the extra debris I subject myself to, and to keep my clogged, tanned pores spic ‘n span ;)

    The Perfect Skin line claims to be designed for all types of skin, dry, oily and combination. I can only vouch for us dry skinned peeps so follow my Perfect Skin journey! For more info or to try yourself visit their site here or stay tuned for a full write up soon!

    Talk about a Summer dream come true, what better product than a light weight powder sunscreen? Of course I always start my day with a good SPF face lotion, but this Peter Thomas Roth Powder Sunscreen comes in handy on hot days when I need a quick SPF touch up and don’t want to re apply more SPF lotion all over my make up. Definitely a Summer must have to carry around in your beach bags! Perfect size and comes with a built in brush which makes applying it easy breezy ;)

    What exactly it is: A transparent SPF 45 mineral powder in a convenient brush applicator.

    What it is formulated to do: Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF45 works immediately to block out the sun’s harmful UVA, UVB, and infrared rays to help prevent sunburn, skin damage, freckling, and discoloration. The light, matte powder gives the complexion a smooth, radiant, youthful look.

    What else you need to know: This finely milled, talc-free powder leaves a residue-free layer of sun protection to help skin maintain a soft, healthy look and feel. It is the perfect solution for mess-free touch-ups throughout the day.

    Also, if you’re worried about spending so much on  a new product you’re unsure about, Physician’s Formula also makes a powder with SPF 50 built in for only $14.95.  I haven’t tried it yet, but if anyone tries it let me know how it works!

    Ohhhh yum best new breakfast snack everrrr, get excited because Jamba Juice now has oatmeal! About a month ago I discovered Jamba Juice’s oatmeal and it’s for sure one of my new favorite breakfast items. I know it has existed for a while but I just learned of it so shhhh. So fast, pretty healthy and soooo yummy!

    Jamba Juice has 3 delicious flavors of oatmeal to choose from… apple-cinnamon, blueberry-blackberry, or banana, all topped with a ehhh not so healthy brown sugar crumble. I eat it anyway, too good not to. My favorite is for sure the banana.

    Although the calorie and sugar count isn’t anything to write home about, it’s not too bad for an entire breakfast. Besides you can leave off the brown sugar if you want to reduce the sugar intake. Overall an easy, but healthy start to your morning for those of us who always seem to be in a rush :)
