“Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.” African proverb

Much work has been involved in running a business. It takes a fearless attitude and a persistent determined mind set. There will be challenges and many Nos. Focus and determination is vital. What happens? Promises come and go , you hope and you you pray that your hard work pays off. Then an opportunity come and you take advantage of it and you appreciate the fact that you never gave up, and that there are those who never forgot where they came from.

A-glow With Laguna Candles

The laughter of friends, candle light, wine and appetizers.  What a delightful evening!

One can only imagine how grateful I was when a friend hosted a spa party in honor of Laguna Candles to introduce our new Bath & Body Collection.  Yes you heard me right, Laguna Candles recently launched their Coastal Collection of Bath & Body products designed to renew the skins radiance.  The six piece set includes a soothing bubble bath, body lotion, healing hand cream, hand & foot scrub, body oil spray and body mist. Our Coastal Collection of bath & body are scented with the beautiful fragrance: Water Lily and Lotus Flower and contain coffee berry extract.

Additionally there are other things you can do to make the skin look younger.  See below:

  • Set your hair dryer on the cold setting and use it to dry your moisturizers and sunscreen. This will make the product set and will help your makeup go on more evenly and last longer.

  • Use mushrooms. Face products that use mushrooms decrease inflammation and increase skin firmness. Some mushrooms can even slow collagen breakdown and improve your skin’s tone and texture.

  • Use products that contain coffee berry extract. This extract comes from the berries that surround coffee beans. Using this extract protects your skin against cellular damage.

  • Use moisturizers that multitask. Some moisturizers contain self-tanners, hydrate, and tighten your skin all with one step.

  • Use an overnight moisturizer. Many anti-aging ingredients are more effective when they are not exposed to sunlight. Exposure to light will break down the chemicals in the moisturizers and seriously impair their effectiveness.

  • Try to sleep on your back. Laying with your face in a pillow while you sleep can actually cause skin damage over time. Sleeping on your back also helps to counter the effects of gravity that take place during the day.

  • Eat to nourish your skin. Foods high in protein and zinc will help repair damaged tissue. Vitamin C will aid in the production of collagen. Vitamins C and E deliver anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidant help to fight against sun damage.

  • Drink plenty of water. Water will hydrate your skin. It will also help to regulate your oil glands, which will improve your complexion.

Laguna Finds (Submission #2)

 

 

Laguna Candles is an Eco-friendly luxury line of candles, proudly manufactured in the USA.

Luxury is hard work.  I once read this in a magazine, if you’re willing to put in the work I believe that luxury can be had by all.  We simply have to know what to look for and where to find it!  Keep your eyes peeled for vintage items this fall.

Look for quality workmanship and great materials like leather, wool tweeds, silk, cashmere, hand-blown glass, silver and more.   Laguna Finds Submission #2 is yet another example of a luxury item that I found during one of my favorite past times, yard sales!  Vintage Ralph Lauren hand bag.  Price at yard sale $25.00 estimated value $$$$ (compare Ralph Lauren Alligator Hand Bag Circa 2011 at this link: http://tinyurl.com/4xa9s22) 

Please feel free to leave a comment or question.  Happy hunting!
