Ole Henriksen-Six Instant Mood Boosters to Beat Wintertime Blues

Now that the holiday buzz has faded and the warmth of spring is still months away, the cold, grey, dreary days of winter can give anyone the wintertime blues. That’s why I wanted to offer you lifestyle and skincare guru to the stars and formerly the host of his own Denmark television series on happiness, Ole Henriksen’s his simple tips to get happy in an instant. There’s a reason the Danish press has dubbed him as the “happiest man alive”!

Ole’s Six Instant Mood Boosters:

· Eat right: Every morning, I start my day off with a breakfast of oatmeal, cooked with flax seed and mixed with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries to keep my blood sugar up, which is key to a good mood.

· Exercise: Start your day off moving. Even a 15 minute walk will up your energy. I loves the gymnastic rings. When I exercise on my rings the experience is that of a relaxing meditation – like floating in mid air like I’m on cloud nine.

· Bond and laugh with friends: For women, female bonding sends joyful, calming signals to the brain. One of the greatest joys is a good belly laugh that goes on forever and ever! I can’t get enough of it, it’s part of my daily life.

· Apply OLEHENRIKSEN truth revealed: My truth revealed super crème spf 15 contains my own Omega 3 Happiness Concentrate. This “Happiness Concentrate” increases the release of dopamine (a neurotransmitter involved in the sensation of happiness) and improves microcirculation for a radiant complexion.

· Drink tea: Green tea increases dopamine in the brain, which chemically lifts your mood.

· See the light: The shorter daylight hours of the winter can make us feel down. If you can’t get outside for some sunshine, try sitting with a light box for twenty minutes a few times a week to lift your mood.

With recent study findings showing that a positive mood helps people think more creatively, we have even more reason to get ourselves into a upbeat state of mind!

Lea Journo Cosmetique High Performance Hair Care Products Review

From Brad Pitt to Orlando Bloom, Kate Bosworth to Britney Spears, the stars just can't get enough of this Parisian dynamo.

In just 3 short years, this hairstylist extraordinaire managed to conquer the toughest city and clientele in the world.

Today she not only owns Beverly Hills' hippest salon at the Beverly Wilshire on Rodeo Drive, but manages to travel the world keeping her jet-set star clientele happy.

Yet for all her chic credentials, Lea remains the warmest, funniest, least affected person in what can often be a very affected town and business.

Perhaps that's why Beverly Hills has so quickly and happily embraced Paris' latest export as their stylist of choice for beautiful, glamorous hair.

Lea's vision of beauty is now a tangible reality for her clients in and out of the salon with the launch of Lea Journo Cosmetique - a performance hair care collection created by Lea for glamorous, beautiful, healthy-looking hair.

If you suffer from dry and / or damaged hair, the Travel Size Hydra-Riche Hydrating Shampoo ($10) will truly deliver moisture that your hair is in need of. It has a slightly minty smell that I find natural and refreshing. It also gives my hair a fresh and clean feeling without stripping my hair like some shampoos have a tendency to do. When used in conjunction with their Travel Size Hydra-Riche Hydrating Conditioner ($10), your hair will look lush and healthy! You can also give your hair an extra healthy boost with their Revive French Plum Oil ($65), which is ultra conditioning and indulging.

Whenever I have the extra time, I love to use their Pouf Volumizing Spray ($28) to add more bounce and shine to my hair. My hair is somewhat thick, but some days it looks thin, depending on what product(s) I've used in my hair. I like that this product doesn't weigh my hair down like some do and gives my hair the boost that it needs! It has a light, yet pleasant scent of Tahitian Vanilla extract to UV protect and de-stress.

Lidareme Review and Giveaway

Prize: Two winners will receive a Power Trio Gift Set. This includes Skinsensual Oil, The Balm, and Coconut Citrus Body Scrub.

Entry Limit: Daily (this doesn't include bonus entries, except for tweets)

Their name reflects the three legs of their message and their mission – caring, responsibility, and self-worth. They care about you, and they care about our planet. They feel responsible for the wellness and beauty of each other and for the generations that will follow us. In choosing a name for their company, they searched for one word that would convey who they are. When they couldn't find that word, they created their own. Lidaremé (pronounced Lid-Are-May), means "I give myself". Their name, and the products that carry their name, remind their customers – who give so much of themselves every day helping and nurturing others – that they must not forget to take care of themselves. Give yourself and your body a treat. You've earned it. And you deserve it.

The Power Trio Gift Set ($50) includes Skinsensual Oil, The Balm, and Coconut Citrus Body Scrub, which are their three best sellers. The gift set comes in a large cotton jewelry bag. With the Skinsensual Oil, you have a choice of three fragrances to choose from: Ylang Ylang & Sandalwood, Lavender, and Vanilla Citrus. I opted for the Ylang Ylang & Sandalwood since I am very fond of these two scents.

One of my most favorite beauty products to use are body scrubs. Therefore, I was thrilled to try out theirs! Their Coconut Citrus Body Scrub smells like it is almost good enough to nibble on. Tantalizing scents of Coconut and Lemon makes it quite tempting! Most importantly, this scrub rejuvenates the skin by gently sloughing off dead skin cells and leaving it soft and smooth.

Note: Use during bath or shower. Massage onto moist skin with hands or luffah, rinse with warm water. Coconut oil may harden if kept in cool temperature, will melt on contact with skin. Use once or twice weekly. Best used prior to shaving.

I'm usually not particularly fond of body balms, because most of the ones I tried before leave an icky, greasy feeling. That isn't the case at all with theirs! It makes my skin feel soft, smooth, and hydrated without a tinge of greasiness. I love that it also has a soothing and earthy scent. This has been my go-to product during this season. This body balm was even featured in Everyday with Rachael Ray!

Skinsensual is a sensational body and massage oil that is great at relaxing sore muscles and hydrating the skin. It is free from synthetic ingredients and potential allergy causing nut oils. This body oil contains pure, therapeutic grade Apricot Kernel Oil which is safe and gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. I love using it after I take a shower. It makes my skin feel soft and supple.

Overall, this is a great kit to have to get through the winter!

Votre Vu CHAMPAGNE KISSES Enhancing Lip Balm Review

Lines that form around the lips are amongst the telltale signs of aging. The Votre Vu CHAMPAGNE KISSES Enhancing Lip Balm ($29) will help minimize this problem by plumping your lips, while also rejuvenating them. While I'm not showing any signs of aging yet, I love using this product since I have small lips and love how it slightly plumps them up.

The Votre Vu CHAMPAGNE KISSES Enhancing Lip Balm is also a great product to use to keep your lipstick from bleeding and feathering. This lip balm is made with soothing, nourishing, and healing sweet almond oil, coconut oil, and shea butter. Apply as necessary to gently enhance the volume of your lips while protecting them from elements such as the sun and wind.

Manic Panic Cosmetics Collection Review

A collection of edgy and bold rock-goth palettes with the most distinct and seductive unconventional looks in mind; each can be tailored to one’s level of personal expression.

Kits feature one-of-a-kind instructions direct from Tish & Snooky, showcasing a progression of hot looks ranging innocently from PG-13 to Rated X.

Palettes include dramatic and seductive eye statements, deathly luscious lip lacquers, and complete looks for the ultimate decadent outing.

The Lip Locked Lipstick in Vampire's Kiss ($8) is one of the best lipsticks I've ever used. I usually don't wear darker lipstick in the winter time since I don't think it looks flattering on me due to my skin tone being much lighter. However, I decided to take a shot in the dark and try out something different for a change. I'm so glad that I did since I receive a lot of compliments whenever I wear this particular shade. Despite the price, it is not cheap in quality since it is deeply pigmented and has strong staying power.

The Lip Locked Lipstick is available in even more bold and daring colors: Postmortem (black) and Deadly Night (plum). I'm quite sure that fearless and gorgeous Beth Ditto would approve!

I decided to shy away from my usual shades of nail polish (pale pink, green, and blue) opted for the Extreme Nail Lacquer ($4) in Hellfire and Immortal.

The Hellfire doesn't quite look like the shade that is shown in the picture above, but it is just as gorgeous! Just not as red as I was expecting it to be. On the site, they describe it as being red nail polish with black glitter. At least, that is what I think they mean by red/black glitter in parenthesis beside the name of the nail polish. Instead, it is black nail polish with red glitter and it is stunning! Either way it would be a rocking color to wear on Valentine's Day. The Immortal is a basic black nail polish that is a must have for anyone who doesn't want to get lost at a sea of followers. If you prefer a little glitter with your black nail polish, the Heavy Metal shade is also available.

The Extreme Nail Lacquer is also available in Bloody Thirsty, which is a beautiful shade of plum.

The Eye Wear Glossy Mascara ($8) has become one of my favorite mascaras. It gives my lashes a dramatic impact by making them look longer, thicker, and glossier without giving me the dreaded raccoon look. At $8, this is a beauty steal that is hard to pass up since it isn't easy finding a good quality mascara at this price.

“Sephora is committed to bringing our clients what’s hot now, and there is nothing hotter or more culturally relevant today than GLEE,” said Michael McGeever, Senior Vice President of Sephora Originals. “Our goal with this exclusive, limited-edition Sephora by OPI collection is to reflect the unique spirit of the show – vibrant, creative and bold – while bringing our consumer another exclusive must-have that they couldn’t find anywhere else.”

The collection will be supported through a multi-platform marketing campaign including key in-store placement, an in-store event, a national magazine advertising program, a spring catalog feature, and robust e-mail and online initiative.

Jennifer Lopez Love and Glamour Perfume Review

The drama, excitement, and beauty that define Jennifer Lopez are captured in fragrance and presented to you with Love and Glamour by Jennifer Lopez ($49.50 - $58).

Glow by Jennifer Lopez will always remain as one of my top favorite scents, even though it is a scent that doesn't stay with you. However, the Love and Glamour by Jennifer Lopez smells just as good, but it is a scent that actually stays with you, unlike Glow. The scent stands out without being overpowering. It includes notes of guava; nectarine, a heart of Orchid and Waterlilly, and a base of Sandalwood, and Musk. The scent is youthful, timeless, romantic, and will appeal to all ages. Valentine's Day will be here before you know and this is the perfect scent!

Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Baby Perfume Review

The Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Baby Perfume ($30) has a light and delightful scent of vanilla, which happens to be one of my favorite scents! It is wonderfully scented with notes of White Peach, Pink Plumeria, and Glowing Amber. The scent is youthful and will appeal to anyone that isn't keen of strong floral fragrances.

The bottle is a collectible and features a girl with pale pink flocked hair and a unique, yet delightfully sweet outfit that's all her own. Baby is part of the limited-edition Wicked Style fragrance collection that features deliciously fun scents in bottles that take cues from the obsessive Japanese fashion that Gwen Stefani introduced to America.
