Indeed it is. Here are the many reasons why:

For starters, becoming a member of Style United is easier than you think. Plug in your main contact information then you are all set to start personalizing your style account. What does this involve? It involves two things: a few minutes of your undivided attention and honesty. Why honesty? You will need to complete a variety of questions on your hair type, figure type, skin type and other questions that will be about your individual preference which is needed in order to obtain the BEST possible advice for your overall – Style360 makeover.

The questions are very direct on specific topics, which are: fashion focus, mad for makeup, skin deep, and hair affair. As you are going through these four main sections of the Virtual Makeover Diagnostic Tool, personalized advice is given to you immediately depending on your specific response. This is a great way to see where one can improve their style, makeup tips, skin and hair care.

Two other main facets that Style United  has to offer its members are the sections under Tips & Trends and News & Offers. I personally enjoy these sections the most! I like having the option of searching through the Tips & Trends tab to browse around and see what the latest trend ideas are, the editor’s picks and how I can customize them to suit my individual style.

Over all, becoming a member to Style United is definitely worth the time and effort of responding to a few personal questions. But, of course there are other advantages to joining as well.

Jennifer Ouellette: Trendy Headbands

Wearing headbands is a timeless fashion accessory. The headband can be worn no matter the occasion or weather situation. Fashionable headbands can easily be considered a fashion trend of the ages.  This is exactly what can be expected from Jennifer Ouellette  and her line of headbands. Jennifer Ouellette is a premier hair dress designer in New York City.

What makes Jennifer Ouellette’s designs so special?

Jennifer’s sense of design began during her childhood days, while spending time in her mother’s vintage clothing store in St. Louis, Missouri. She graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia, majoring in Textile and Apparel Management & Costume Design. Jennifer continues to combine her passion for vintage fashion with her modern New York City style. Using her needle and thread as an artist uses pencil and paint, she applies her manual sewing techniques to her millinery sculptures with loving detail.

In 1999, she was granted a US patent for the development of a unique headband design and construction, whose focus was to provide comfort and value. Her sustainable approach to her design proves that she is a recycling artist. “I get creative when I start to clean my studio, reinventing our scraps is my expertise. I am content when we have zero waste.”

Jennifer Ouellette’s work has been included in some of the  fashion’s best periodicals around the world and her loyal customers demand more than shallow trends to compliment their style. Her designs are full of vitality and innovation, with inspirations from history, science and nature.

Jennifer Ouellette does not just sell hair dresses and accessories for profit, their utmost aim is providing quality fashion accessories. This is the exact reason why they always provide guaranteed satisfaction to their customers.

This is one of their most favorite designs.

The Powers of adding a Exfoliating Cleanser to Your Skin Care Routine

Over the years we have been schooled on many different steps that need to be added to our skin care routine. Some of these steps are often overlooked, one in specific, exfoliating our skin.

You may be thinking, "Why is exfoliating such a big deal, anyway?"... Many woman have, including myself, have thought like this once or twice. But, guess what?

Exfoliating is a M.U.S.T.     Here are the reasons why:

1. The instant benefit: Immediately after exfoliating your skin will glow, feel silky smooth, and soft.
2. Exfoliating keep pores "unclogged" which will help with avoiding blackheads and pimples from surfacing.
3. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, while reducing the appearance of fine lines.
4. Exfoliating helps keep your skin clean. Clean skin will continue to look younger and more subtle as you age.

Now that we know the BENEFITS. how often should we exfoliate?

Dry skin: A minimum of once a week to avoid irritation to dry skin.

Oily skin: Using a gentle exfoliate brand - should be used once a day. (I have oily skin and am prone to breakouts - I use a gentle exfoliate twice a day.) 

Normal - Combination skin: A minimum of twice a week.

Which brands should you use?

There is one suggestion I can make. I have recently fallen in love with SIBU Beauty Exfoliating Facial Cleanser.

SIBU Beauty - Exfoliating Facial Cleanser

I first heard about it while watching Dr. Oz. He featured the SIBU Beauty brand not too long ago. On the show they talked about one of the main ingredients infused in SIBU Beauty which is sea buckthorn berry. This ingredient contains over 190 bioactive compounds, including the elusive Omega 7 (a rare and vital nutrient necessary for healthy skin).

I have oily skin, so I use a very small amount  in the morning and at night before going to bed. Since I started using it I can definitely see the results. Which is the main reason why I jumped on the chance to share this with all of our readers.

Now it's your turn: You too can have chance to get your very own SIBU Beauty Exfoliating Facial Cleanser at 75% off! These cleansers retail for $18, but your price is only $5! plus there is FREE SHIPPING...

PS. Don't forget to come back and let us know how the SIBU Beauty has ranked in your beauty skin care regimen. We love to hear back from our readers!

Model Latina takes over South Beach this Memorial Day!

If you are anything like me, you enjoy watching reality TV. At first I was mostly against watching these types of shows but now I can sit here with a straight face while saying that I love to watch reality TV. Please don’t get me wrong, not all shows are the same, which means that only a very few get a passing grade and my approval.

One of my favorite reality TV shows is Model Latina. 

Have you heard of  Model Latina on nuvoTV?  If you haven’t, then let me just say, you are missing out on a great show. I like to think of Model Latina as the Latin version of America’s Next Top Model, but much more engaging and exciting. This is one of the reasons I just can’t stop watching it!

The concept of having ten (10) beautiful Latina women living together under the same roof  is more than enough reason to get anyone to sit down and catch every single minute of every small detail of what happens between the ladies during this high intense competition as they all fight to be the model to win $25,000 plus a modeling contract.

I say intense mainly due to all the different challenges these ladies have to put themselves through. This upcoming season is not going to be anything different, only better. One of the challenges to be on the watch for this season is a challenge where the ladies will have to be under water. In my opinion, that is very intense!

Watch a sneek preview of what's to come and Meet this seasons Latina Models .

Not only will we be watching the ladies compete against one another, but we will also get a closer view of all the fun in the sun that these lucky Latina contestants will have while living in South Beach. This season promises to deliver more excitement than past seasons. We will have a chance to live vicariously through the show as we will be exposed to the beautiful beaches, a look at latest fashion trends, and of course, getting to know the contestants and celebrity judges.

The judges that have been selected for this season of Model Latina are some of BEST artists in their chosen field. Do you recognize these fabulous Latino faces?

As you can already imagine, most of us ladies are super anxious to get a closer look at Carlos Ponce and Franco LaCosta! I can’t wait to see them both in action as they work side by side with the contestants as their mentors and judges.

It’s a good thing that we only have a few days to wait for the season premier.

Model Latina is entering its fifth season, which airs this Monday, May 28th, at 10pm ET/PT only on nuvoTV.

If this is your first time hearing about Model Latina, over the weekend check out  nuvoTV’s YouTube channel – Stylish and Sexy Latinas - where you can catch up to this new season premier by watching all the mini video episodes that have aired in past seasons. If you are already a loyal fan, as I am, you can watch your favorite moments and live them all over again before Monday!

Please do not forget to watch the fifth season premier of Model Latina this Monday at 10pm! If you think you might forget to watch, then DVR the entire season! You will definitely be glad you did!

Wednesday's Sneekpeeq : Beauty without Cruelty

Have you ever heard of sneakpeeq.com? I found out about them recently and I am so glad that I did! It's a fun way to get a "sneakpeeq" on every type of item you can possibly think of needing.

Sneakpeeq has products for every style:  Boho, Rocker, American, Classy - you name it I am pretty sure you will be able to find it there. Which is why I wanted to share this news with all of our lovely fashionistas!

We have all seen the hundreds of different types of nail polish that are out there which can be used to create fantastic nail art. I have to admit, getting my nails manicured and polished at the nail salon is the BEST feeling ever! I truly love it! But, unfortunately, there are times when we don't necessarily have the time or funds to go out and get this special treat for ourselves, so when that happens, the next best option is to paint our nails at home, right?

That is where sneekpeaq comes into the picture.

Sneekpeaq currently has Beauty Without Cruelty nail polish on their website. BWC  is a well known brand who has specialized in creating makeup products safe to wear and completely animal free. I like the sound of that, don't you?

Here are three colors for you to see:

These shades are going to be perfect for drenching our summer with delicious color!

Here's the best part:

Our amazing fashionistas can get Attitude Nail Colors from BWC at over 75% off! These Nail Colors retail for $17 per bottle, but your price is only $4! From Pink Crush to Rich Plum, Tangerine to Reckless Ruby-ready, set, peeq! SHIPS FREE!

Leading Lady: The support and comfort you need!

Ladies, we all have had this happen to us at one point in time. For most of us, the bra we choose to wear is not always the BEST for our particular figure, but that doesn't stop us, now does it?  One thing that I have always been taught as a young adult, was that taking the time out to go and get a bra fitting was the ONLY way to really find out what the correct size and fit was.  I could not agree more - this is nothing but the truth. 


Finding a full figure bra with comfort and support is a bit of a task. Not to mention the limited selection and costly price for full figured bra sizes. However, thanks to Leading Lady and the opportunity to review the Scalloped Lace Underwire Full Figure Bra (5044) in the color black, we have found that the comfort and support with Leading Lady is a winner!

To give you a better idea of how Leading Lady had its start, please read:

About:

It all started with two slightly used sewing machines and a man with a whole lot of ambition.

Leading Lady was founded in 1939, after Frank Farino. Leading Lady Brand is best known for manufacturing nursing and full figure intimate specialty apparel and accessories.  If you would like to read even more valuable information, please read more (_HERE_).

Review

Scalloped Lace Underwire Full Figure Bra (5044)

Price: 

$39.00

Content: Back: 85% Nylon, 15% Spandex  Lace: 92% Nylon, 8% Spandex  Exclusive of trim

Care:

Hand wash. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Line dry. Iron as needed using low temperature.

Country of Origin: Imported

Here is the best part:

Pros: Comfort , Support , Lightly padded cups and straps, and Side coverage

Cons: 

Only, available in black, nude and white.

Conclusion:

Having the ability to shop for quality, support and comfort online is at your fingertips with Leading Lady.
First, I thought the lace would itch. To my surprise, NO! Second, I was highly impressed with the support and full side coverage under arms. I could lift arms with ease and have coverage on sides. Also, no protruding under wire. Last,comfortable fit for day or night. Leading Lady is quality at reasonable and
affordable prices. (Source: http://www.leadinglady.com (Italic))

Introducing Brazil and its Magical Journey

FAB Friday has arrived!

I have always been a fan of Macy's. They are one of the few stores that come up with innovative promotions and trendy designer collections made affordable - just for us!

This morning I decided to take a trip to Macy's in Easton Town Center in Columbus, Oh to look around and do some much needed window shopping. When I got there, to my surprise there were at least another 50 women waiting to get inside! But I am so happy I fought my way through the masses...why?

I was able to get an up close view of the new fashion collection that Macy's has displayed in stores and online: A Magical Journey through Brasil

The collections are amazing - the colors are bold, bright, exotic neon, floral print, neon accessories and so much more! I was (and still am) head over heels in love with Brasil collection. I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that all the fashion pieces remind me of home, Puerto Rico.

To see more photos of the Brasil displays inside the Macy's stores and read more about Macy's collection, please visit my article from today: Brazil has arrived at Macy's with a grand entrance

Now it's your turn: Have you seen the new Brasil collection, yet? Are you planning a shopping spree this weekend? If so, please share with us - we love talking with you!

Spring trend: Layering outfits

Two Tone Cocoon Cardigan by Gold Hawk

During the spring months, the weather can be ever changing. One day the weather can be perfect for wearing a dress or skirt, and then the next day it could be raining outside causing the temperature to do down drastically. When this is the case, knowing how to pull off an outfit by layering comes into play.

Mother's Day Gifts for the Mom-To-B

Mother's Day Gift Guide for Moms-To-Be

As Mother's Day approaches, some of us may be wondering what types of gifts we will purchase for our special Mami's. But what about those ladies who are expecting? Should they get gifts on Mother's Day, even if they have not given birth yet?

Oh yes! In my opinion "motherhood" begins the very second when a woman confirms her pregnancy. Would you not agree with that logic?

I am not the only woman who think this way apparently.

The writers at workingmother.com have put a slideshow together for those who are celebrating this Mother's Day with women who are still expecting.

This list has everything from stretch mark cream to a nifty "rocker" for the new bundle of joy. Now with the rocker, I am not sure who will enjoy it better, Mom or the baby!

To see the slideshow - please click the caption under the photo

Now it's your turn:  Can you remember what gifts you were given the first time you celebrated Mother's Day?

Anti-aging Foods for Beautiful Skin

photo credit: ghetty images 

Every woman today does it. Some women go to extremes when they do it. Other women dream of having the sources at their disposal so they can do it.

Do you have an idea as to what every women does that makes us all have this one thing in common?

The answer is simple: Every woman at one point or another, are on a personal quest to stop the effects of aging.

Yes, we are all guilty of "doing it". Some women spend money trying to reclaim their youth by going "under the knife". Not to say that I am against it because I am not. I will say that I am in the group of women that would much rather turn to less abrasive methods than the knife. Why? Easy, you hardly ever end up looking as beautiful after surgery then the way you looked before it! That is of course, my personal opinion.

Okay, so how can we stop or at least slow down the inevitable aging process?

I am not a doctor or a know it all, but I do read a lot. I have found that much of what we consume on a daily basis will either do us good, or do us harm. Well, we all know that, right? But what foods in particular are we talking about? 

I came across an email late last night from eatingwell.com  One of the websites writers, Brierley Wright, wrote an article that grabbed my attention, "Anti-aging Foods for your skin". In her article, Brierley listed six (6) foods that can be beneficial in helping us retain youthful looking skin.

Here is the list of foods:

1. strawberries

2. tomatoes

3. tofu

4. tuna

5. coffee

6. cocoa

Are you surprised? Out of the six foods, I was aware of two: strawberries and cocoa. I had no clue that coffee could be considered as good for our skin! Did you?

When I look at this list of foods it appears to be that this is an easier, and cheaper way of consuming "anti-aging" ingredients that could help nourish our skin rather than sitting in a cold sterile room waiting to get sliced and diced by a plastic surgeon! Not to mention the fact that, most of us probably do not have that kind of disposable income for surgeries - but it would be nice!

Wouldn't you agree?

Now it's your turn: What's your take on anti-aging? Would you rather seek medical intervention? or perhaps go the "natural" route? Please share your thoughts, inquiring minds would like to know...
