Let's "Take A Load Off" Together

Did you hear the buzz about a special sweepstakes being offered by Tide and Future Friendly? If you haven't then this post is for you!

In celebration of #EarthDay, both Tide and Future Friendly are reaching out to all of us by motivating us to make a difference by washing our clothes in cold water.

Why is this so important? Well, by washing our laundry in hot water we are unknowingly contributing to about 80% of the excess energy that is used in the U.S.  Therefore, by making the simple change of washing laundry in cold water, we will be helping save energy instead!

With this in mind, Tide and Future Friendly has launched the sweepstakes "Take A Load Off". 

To participate in this fabulous giveaway, here is what you need to do:

First, make a promise to switch washing in cold water on the Future Friendly Facebook Page. When you do, you have a chance at winning a High Efficiency Washer & Dryer PLUS one year supply of Tide Coldwater.

Is that not just fabulous?

Okay, you may be thinking that this is it,  but guess what?  You can enter the giveaway DAILY to increase the chances of your name being selected! A new winner will be picked each week until May 13th.

Honestly, this is a great chance for all of us to make a difference this #EarthDay. But, did you know that there are other simple things we can do everyday in order to save energy?

Here are a few more ideas that we can do in addition to washing our laundry in cold water:

•When grocery shopping, purchase organic fruits and vegetables. You can do this two different ways: browse through the organic section in your favorite supermarket or better yet, take time to visit your local food markets.

•Avoid purchasing and using chlorinated household cleaners. These types of products have been linked to causing cancer. Instead use these alternatives: baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon and vinegar.

•When in need of purchasing any type of beauty or skin care product, take a few minutes to read the label listing the ingredients inside product. Try to buy the products that do not contain triclosan - this ingredient can be very toxic for your skin.

•Save energy in your home by turning off the lights when you leave a room.

•If you have several electrical appliances (tv, computers, printers, ect) try plugging these in by using a electrical extension cord with a built in switch, this way you can turn off the power cord at night and save energy this way.

See how easy it is to save energy everyday and at the same time take care of our planet?

Okay, now let's recap some important details:

Green Works Reverse Graffiti Sweepstakes

Have you heard the buzz about this upcoming event being hosted by Green Works? If you haven't, it's okay, today I will tell you what the Green Works Reverse Graffiti event is about.

Reverse Graffiti is basically a way of creating art by simply cleaning up a dirty surface. Green Works has a mantra of "cleaning can be beautiful". Doesn't that mantra make sense? If you think about it enough, it does.

Let me ask you something, if you were to travel around the major cities where you live, would you not encounter certain areas where the buildings are just "dirty"? I would like to think so. Since this is something that we all have to live with, Green Works has set a goal to find the dirtiest alley in L.A. in order to transform it into unique art. How awesome is that?

But, it does not stop there.

Green Works is having a sweepstakes where one (1) lucky winner will win the grand prize of a three (3) day trip for two (2) to L.A. to attend this event in person, a $1,000 gift card and have access to museums in the L.A area to see some of the best art the city has to offer!

If you are not chosen as the grand prize winner, don't give up! There will be three (3) additional entrants selected to win some of the Green Works products.

You want it, don't you? Of course you do.

Here is what you need to do to enter the Green Works Reverse Graffiti Sweepstakes:

Go to Green Works Facebook page (here) "like" their page then fill out the Entry Form located at the bottom of page.

You can also watch the Reverse Graffiti Project video on the Facebook page and be eligible to receive a $1 off coupon just for watching!

Important Details:

Sweepstakes Deadline is April 26 - Enter NOW for your chance to win!
Limit: You are only allowed to enter ONE time.

Good Luck to everyone who enters!!

Lifestyle: Work/Life Balance - Beauty - Makeup Tips

Does this photo not represent most of us women?  

Well, the other evening I was reading a very informative lifestyle article and wanted to share this with all my beautiful readers.

We all work full time, whether it is in an office or in our homes, and as such,  time is of the essence. We really don't have that much "free" time to spare when it comes to our beauty routine. As such, unfortunately there are times when our makeup tend to suffer because of this.. BUT this should NOT become our reality!

In the lifestyle article I am sharing with you today, you will read tips from an expert makeup artist on how to achieve a day look that can easily be transformed into an evening look  and best of all, these small little changes to our makeup can be achieved  in no time flat!

Honestly, these types of articles are a life-saver! I hope you enjoy the tips given as much as I did.

 Lifestyle: Work/Life Balance & Career Support for Your Career Change

Now It's Your Turn:  Do you have any tips for making the most of your beauty makeup routine?  If so, please share your tips with us. We love hearing from our beauty mavens!

How to Get the "Tousled Wavy" Effect for Your Hair

The Tousled Wavy hairstyle has been trending for quite a while now. Some of us may think that we cannot style our hair this way because it is either too short, too thin, or we are just not that fortunate to have a hair stylist at home with us 24/7.

What if I told you that there is an easy way to achieve the tousled wavy hairstyle at home without the need of a hair stylist? It is possible, thank you to the editors of  Total Beauty.

Total Beauty has simplified this hair style process:

Step 1 = Prep Hair in shower by using products that will moisturize hair and control frizz.

Step 2 = Towel dry hair. Now you need some product: (1) if your hair is curly- use a little bit of gel (2) if your hair is straight or fine- use a volumizing mouse through out hair.

Step 3 = Blow Dry hair. You want to flip your over, use a diffuser (if you have one)if not just use your normal hair dryer. You want to make sure your hair is partially dry - Total Beauty recommends hair should be 85% dry only -

Okay, these are the basic three (3) steps for every hair length. Please click on the appropriate photo below for your hair length to see the remaining detailed steps for finishing the Tousled Hair Look.

For Short Hair:

Step Four - Six

For Medium Length Hair:

Steps Four and Five

Step Six thru Nine

For Long Hair:

Steps Four thru Seven

Now It's Your Turn: Do you think you can achieve this look by following these easy steps?

How to get the Violet Femme Fatal Look

Wearing bold colors on eyelids is not the only trend noticed on the runway this year. Another eye beauty makeup trend is using hues of pink, purples and lilacs blended together for a smoldering seductive stare.

violet femme -face chart

To achieve this look, there are a few products that are needed.

I-mark Violet Femme shades

Application:

(1) apply a thin layer of eye primer to eyelids and under lower eyelashes

(2) using the i-mark shade violet ink (darkest shade) over the lids going up to the crease and along the lower lash lines

(3) apply i-mark shade pink dust on lids from crease going up to brow bone - make sure to blend this shade in as well as you can

(4) apply third i-mark shade mystical (lighter purple) in the inner corners of eyes

(5) apply eyeliner to the lower lash line

(6) apply mascara to both upper and lower lashes


Next, to achieve the over-all face Highlights, you will need this product.

all the Highlights Soft Glow Illuminator

Application:

(1) Lightly dust all the highlights over entire face - concentrating on cheek bones & chin. This will give you the "glow" effect.


About these products:

The I-mark Violet Femme Shades are long-lasting color shades which can be bought individually. Doing that you can easily combine shades to create different eye-looks.

The All the Highlights Soft Glow Illuminator is the perfect powder to use in getting the complete "glow" effect on entire face without going overboard! The colors in the illuminator palette can be worn by all skin-tones.

(4) apply water-proof mascara to both upper & lower lashes
