    Hurraw!! ~ Lip Balm

    By Miss Style Apothecary · May 29, 2010 · 0 Comments · 1,995 Views

    Super smooth, not draggy, not sticky, not sweet, not too glossy, not too smelly, never grainy, long lasting; plus, it had to hold up to being in a back jeans pocket all day without melting! It took us several obsessed years to formulate Hurraw! Balm and put it through all the rigors. We love it, use it, and hope you do too!

    Why Hurraw! is unique: We hand pour each and every tube of Hurraw! Balm; no filling trays in this hood!  We truly care about the quality and integrity of our product and feel Hurraw! is the finest all natural, vegan, raw balm on the market.  Sourcing honest, fair trade, organic, vegan and raw ingredients from reputable suppliers was difficult at best.  We finally did it and we are thrilled to share the labors of our hard work with other balm lovin' individuals.

    Vegan: Hurraw! Balm is a Certified Vegan product!  'Vegan' means no animal products (ie: beeswax) are included in our product (nor any animals used/harmed/tested on) in any stage of the manufacture of our product.  This includes all of our suppliers.

    Raw: Basically, a raw food product is one that never reaches temperatures above 118F degrees in any stage of it's production. Hurraw! Balm contains organic, raw, cold pressed and centrifuged extracted, nut/seed oils and butters that have been processed below 118F degrees and are still chocked full of their essential nutrients. We carefully handcraft each batch to insure our precious oils and butters do not reach high temperatures.

    Your lips will be stoked! We realize it sounds rather complicated but one doesn't have to adhere to any particular lifestyle or eating habits to use it because we believe that Hurraw! Balm is a great product to be used by everyone!

    Organic: 97% of our ingredients are certified organic through our suppliers; this qualifies Hurraw! balm as an organic product. If you would like copies of our certificates, please contact us.

    Dermtv.com ~ How Much Sunscreen to Put On - MUST SEE

    By Miss Style Apothecary · May 25, 2010 · 0 Comments · 342 Views

    How Much Sunscreen to Put On discusses the actual physical amount of sunscreen needed for full protection.  This is particularly interesting because most people (myself definitely included) do not use the recommended amount.  Dr. Schultz further’s his cause for sunscreen protection when he points out that the SPF of a sunscreen is decreased to its square root if not enough is put on.

    Quantum Scale $59.00 Available @ Quantum

    The Quantum Scale Never Ever Shows Your Weight! Quantum Scale Secretly Records Your Weight and Only Shows a Loss or a Gain from the Time You Start Your Diet.  Quantum Scale is the revolutionary scale that you’ll actually want to step on! Never showing your actual weight, the Quantum Scale displays only how much weight you’ve lost or gained providing a motivational boost that both encourages and informs you. Never before has it been possible to step on a scale without comparing yourself to the unrealistic ultra thin Hollywood standard. The Quantum Scale focuses only on your unique weight loss journey and is the perfect ally in reaching your goal weight. Virtually every leading health and wellness expert acknowledges the importance of maintaining a positive attitude as a critical component of weight loss. By removing the potentially negative observation of your actual weight and putting the focus on how far you've come rather than how far you have to go, the Quantum Scale allows you to start your day with the positive reinforcement needed to achieve your desired weight. When trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle a traditional scale has correctly been viewed as an unfriendly necessity. Quantum theory supports this idea stating that what you observe has a direct affect on how you feel and in turn, how you feel, influences everything else in your life. With this in mind it is easy to see how traditional scales actually diminish your state of mind and can often impede your progress.

    The Quantum Scale promotes the development of a positive self-image that grows stronger and healthier each time you step on the scale. Staying positive and feeling good about your weight loss accomplishments is what is truly important. Order your Quantum Scale today and see the results that the increased positivity will have in your life!

    Makeup Addict does not know how she has missed the Quantum Scale until now.  A scale that actually keeps track of your weight loss and lets you know - what a confidence builder!!

    Frownies Facial Pads Eliminate Wrinkles While You Sleep

    Frownies Patches are the only products available dermatologist approved that retrain the muscles below the skin to release the unattractive creases that have developed and to relax into a smooth, natural position. Frownies do this without any harsh chemicals and since they are changing the shape of the muscle they provide lasting results that continue to improve with continued use.

    FROWNIES (FBE) Patches are an anti wrinkle treatment that addresses the physical cause of facial wrinkles between the eyes (sometimes called elevens) and forehead wrinkles. Frownies, traditional patch works at night to eliminate skin wrinkles and in fact, allows the deep expression lines to heal leaving younger looking skin. For lines that are so deep you may be considering a wrinkle filler try Frownies Patch first. Lines can be reversed at night while you sleep. Frownies are applied directly over the wrinkles between the eyes or on the forehead. Smooth out the skin, apply the patch and leave it on at least three hours to gently re-educate the underlying muscles.The entire line must be covered by the patch.
