A Miracle In A Bottle
By: Marlene Affeld Do you cringe every time you glance in the mirror? Are you concerned about the latest wrinkle? We all hate to see the visible signs of aging appear on our skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots are not welcome. It seems we all want to look younger than our chronological age. The search for the fountain of youth is not a new idea. Medical research has been pursuing that goal for decades.

Do you ever get nasty breakouts and feel like you want to just stay home and hide your face? That was me for the past few years, I had really awful cystic acne all over my face, and I’m talking ALL OVER. I always turned to makeup to cover it up, but I quickly realized that it was only a temporary fix to masc the acne, but not a permanent fix, as the constant cake face was making it worse and my face was just continuously breaking out more persistently, and was super red and inflamed.

Fill Me Up – My First Botox Experience
I recently got my first Botox as an adult, and since we said we would never lie to each other I’m here to share my experience with you. I like to think of myself as a relatively healthy, reasonably crunchy, “try natural remedies first” kind of person.

Makeup: My Warpaint
Makeup is usually viewed as in different aspects depending on how makeup is used. Sometimes the cosmetic tools are used for a boost of confidence, a mask to put on and hide the other side and can't feel comfortable without the cover up.

Short Hairstyles -The Best Short Layered Haircuts
Let’s get a few things straight! Any hair length above your shoulders is a short haircut. Adding layers on a short hair makes it a short layered haircut. Basically, the extra layers create more volume and edges on a simple short haircut. Apart from adding dimension, these additional layers can also be used to reduce mass on the top and bottom strands. Over the past few years, it has been established that a short layered hairstyle is an ideal haircut for women with fine hair. It has now become an inclusive haircut that can be easily adjusted to complement practically any facial structure.

How Ellovi Sets New Standards For The Skincare Industry
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi No matter what your skin type, it is fair to say that skincare finds its way onto the priority list in many of our daily lives one way or another and choosing a product that’s affordable yet healthy for your skin is a near endless battle. While browsing the market, some may find themselves making a mental note of what they’re looking for; a hydrating formula, sustainable, travel-friendly and not being tested on animals may come to mind. Some eight years ago, Ellovi was born in the kitchen of its founder and CEO, Kelly Winterhalter, as she too struggled to find a skincare product that didn’t adhere to eyebrow-raising industry standards with ingredients that are often as harmful on the skin as they are to pronounce. Handmade in California, Ellovi offers the globally famous, all-over moisturizer known as Butter and a collection of Lip Butters that push the boundaries beyond that of the skincare industry’s norm.
