Labor Day Picture Perfect Skin

Hey Beauties! I guess this is it. Labor Day is four days away and that means summer is officially coming to an end. Trust me there's no one sadder than me to see summer go! I enjoyed every moment of this summer the 100+ degree temps and every ounce of heat & humidity. I know you all must be wondering what planet Im from, but, I can't help it I'm a summer baby. I just love the care free feeling of summer. Well enough about me and my love of summer. I want to show you how you can keep your skin picture perfect for all those end of summer and Labor Day pics you'll be taking this weekend.

For starters we recommend using our Sugar Rush Bath scrub to achieve a healthy glow and follow it up with our Babassu Butter for a moisturized, dewy appearance that will make you the center of attention in any picture!

Beauties enjoy your weekend and be picture perfect!

Double Duty Beauty

Hey family!Some of you have asked "whats up with the double duty beauty videos?". Well the answer that is we're taking a hiatus until September. During our down time from recording we'll be working on a bunch (did I really just say "a bunch"?)of fun new videos in a new location. Yes. we're finally leaving my kitchen! So be on the look out for those new videos plus a few short behind the scenes videos from our upcoming photo shoot for our new products. I'm sure that will be hilarious, if you only knew half of the antics that goes on behind the scenes I'm sure most of you would be in tears...LOL. So we'll see you in September.

We're so excited about our recent beauty feature that appears in the September issue of Aishti magazine. We're giving you a glimpse of the article before it's posted to our site. In a few days we'll have all of our press mentions posted on our web site!

The Foodie In Me

Hey Beauties I have a confession to make....."My name is Nicole and I am a Foodie". I had to share this recent admission with all of you because last week I realized every single time I turn on my TV I immediately switch it to channel 51 if it's not there already. Do you know what channel 51 is....? It's the new Cooking Channel!! And I'm totally addicted!! I remember the first day I found it this summer I' jumped up & down like a fool because Nigella Lawson's show was on. Now the reason I was acting like a fool was because my Grandmother and I use to love watching her on either the Food Network or TLC, I can't remember wich station at the moment. But, I love watching her and the approach she takes with her globally inspired dishes with an english twist. I think she has cooking swag....or would that be food swag? As you see I come from a family Foodies. Since finding the station I'm now in love with Everyday Exotic, Spice Godess, Food Crafters and Indian Made Easy ....you know I love my spicy food...LOL.

But the thing that inspires me about food are the ingredients. Just like beauty, the ingredients are key. The most basic natural ingredients seem to create the most amazing beauty products and dishes that give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Let's face it. Food and beauty are about creating an emotion!!......I'm just a hopeless Foodie.

Are you a hopeless Foodie too? Share your stories we want to know!

3 Things I Need For a Day at the Beach

This weekend I was all too happy to be able to escape to the beach. Now you have to understand to most I'm sort of a bizarre beach goer because I don't like to venture off into the water. I'm one of those people that likes to sit on the sand under an umbrella reading and enjoying the salt water breeze and yesterday that breeze felt so good!! I actually wasn't hot at all. But There are three things I wont survive a day at the beach without.

Sunscreen - As much as I love the sun and spending time in it I realize it can be extremely damaging to my skin so I always slather it all over my body. And I mean all over. From head to toe!

Babassu Butter - the other item I probably wouldn't be able to survive a day at the beach with out is my babassu butter. It's helps my skin attain the prettiest, bronzey glow.

Spray Bottle - As crazy as it may sound I always carry a spray bottle with my water glycerin mixture to rehydrate my curls and give my skin a refreshing spritz. This feels amazingly refreshing when you keep the spray bottle containing the water glycerin mixture in a cooler.

As I was writing this post I realized I left out another important item and that's my floppy sun hat to protect and cover my face.
