SIMPLE BLENDS FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY



Looking for some early holiday inspiration or just need a bit of your own inspiration? After mastering her own gorgeous blends of organic essential oils, Hope Gillerman of Gillerman Organics has launched a BRILLIANT photo deck/guide to Essential Oils. Every card has a beautiful photo on the cover and a wealth of ideas on the flip side to literally create your own personal blend of soaps, scrubs, and massage oils. Who needs a spa?

Aromatherapy can be a very powerful tool in regards to your health and beauty. For instance almost everyone knows lavender can be calming, but how do you use it? Where can you use it?

Did you also know essential oils can help heal wounds or aid your digestion? What can essential oils do for scars and stretch marks? Can you overdo essential oils?

Guess you'll have to get the deck to find out!

FAT ATTACK!



I first introduced the Zerona® laser to you as a theoretical piece of equipment that was about to hit the market in one of my old posts just as car companies like to introduce concept cars at the car shows.

The Zerona laser is one of the very few ways to actually non-surgically shrink fat cells. Specifically it is a cool laser that painlessly creates an opening in the fat cell causing the contents of the fat cell to melt away.

Since fat is toxin-soluble and the body needs time to process the toxins, treatments are done every other day for a period of two weeks.

When I spoke to the actual manufacturers of the equipment they said that the number of treatments may vary. Men can need only 6-8 treatments whereas we estrogen-laden women might need an extra kick with 8-10 sessions.

The reason I am entering this new post because I finally had the pleasure of interviewing a wonderful doctor and founder of New York City's Better Body Solutions®, Dr. Nick Ungaro who had decided to carry this amazing piece of equipment. Dr. Ungaro has successfully been taking New York City by storm with the Zerona laser which he first introduced within the last 12 months.

The fat cells still exist unlike liposuction so no result is ever permanent should you waver and decide to go for that bucket of chicken or extra slice of cheesecake, but Dr. Ungaro and his team are prepared with programs to help you maintain the average 3-5 inch loss that his clients generally achieve.

I haven't personally tried it YET, but the science and clinical reports are sound.
I can also say that after speaking with Dr. Ungaro he sounds like a real problem-solver. Either way I like to feel a sense of solace knowing there is something out there that can safely AND effectively sculpt the body.

Check out this video from Better Body Solutions and in the meantime I'll see if I can give you a treatment update.

Thanks again for watching!

MS APOTHECARY



It is coming up on almost two years since we started Beauty 212.

I have learned a lot from the public all around the world and you have helped me to challenge the experts we have featured thus far.

It has been brought to my attention by consumers and through the media that people have lost trust in corporations, our national leaders, and so many other things.

I gave this problem some thought, and wondered about what I could do to make a difference and rebuild that trust again.

With that in mind my clients and some of our viewers have asked for us to put together a store that sells some of the products "they just can't believe work" so it can all be in one place...the best of the best.

So I am proud to announce that Beauty 212 will be launching MS APOTHECARY over the next few weeks. We hope to be a beacon in the industry of trust with products that work for everyone. Every product works in theory, but we will soon bring truth to reality. As consumers we all deserve the best. It's a start to help make the world a more trustworthy place.

Don't worry. Beauty 212 will continue to exist.

Thanks for all of your support and help for us to grow.

We look forward to helping you put your best foot forward.

SUSTAINABLE YOUTH




Nothing gets me more excited than being surprised by a product around the Beauty By Mary Schook testing "lab". A couple of months ago I was sent a cream and serum to test from a company called Sustainable Youth .
What initially drew in my curiosity about this particular product is that it said it was mostly green and clinically effective in anti-aging because of their patented ingredient Alasta ®. We can't count how many times we have tested "green" products only to find them disappointing and cause our client's (or even my own skin) to react.
Another thing that attracted us to this product line is their mantra: beauty starts from the inside out. That is also our philosophy at Beauty By Mary Schook.
In addition the fact that there are only three products is sometimes a good indicator that a consumer will likely end up with more quality, not useless products!
BUT educated deductions never replace testing for us, so our testing began by adding Sustainable Youth's serum and cream to some of the client's treatments.
Immediately from that moment forward we began to receive phone calls and emails from the clients. They were calling to tell us that their skin seemed to "hold their treatments better" and also "appeared more elastic"!
I am still pleased to say that the popularity of Sustainable Youth has continued to increase.
Give the website a quick view to see some of their befores and afters at www.sustainableyouthproducts.com
I believe right now they're even running a recession special. Special or not I can say that the product is well worth the price and opens the eco market up to new hope!

Cheers!
