Be:Fit for 2014
Have you
kept your new year’s resolutions to get fit?
Or did you
even make one?
I promised
myself that this summer I would be looking super fit and sexy!
I also
wanted to improve my overall wellbeing which would hopefully result in better
skin, hair nails and more energy.
I’ve not
been perfect, I have cheated a bit but I have been trying.
Snacks such
as chocolate and crisps have swapped for fruit
I’ve been in
the Gym every week
Fizzy drinks
have been swapped for water
Not the
biggest leap into to the world of health and fitness but figure its best I start small and stick to it
instead taking on a big commitment and flake.
For those
than manage to keep up with their resolutions and even those that didnt checkout

Bloggers Love...Beauty Bar Event Review
I was
excited to attend the first Bloggers Love.. event of 2014
Bloggers Love...Beauty Bar.
Held in the swank Penthouse in Lester square the following
beauty brands
ARK Skincare: www.arkskincare.com
Argentum Apothecary: www.argentumapothecary.com
Artdeco: www.artdeco.com
Eve Taylor: www.eve-taylor.com
Herra Haircare: www.herra.com
La Cure UK: www.shoplacure.co.uk
The Make Up Bullet: http://themakeupbullet.
Yumi Lashes: www.yumilashes.com
showcased some of their amazing products some I had
heard of and some I hadn’t.
Herra Hair Perfume
was
one of the products that I wasn’t so sure about until I spoke to one of the representatives.
Not only does it make your hair smell nice with its warm floral sent but it
contains ingredients such as:
Sunflower extract which not only protects structure of
the hair but it helps provide protection against UV and Glycerin which
helps provide ample hydration and seals in moisture, without weighing down the
hair.
Herra Hair Perfume also works wonders on both synthetic
and human hair extensions (I checked)
The Make Up Bullet:
I have watch
many YouTube videos and read blogs about this product but it wasn’t available
in the UK so one of the 1st thing I said to the rep was “Is this
product available for purchase today” and died in side when I was told "No but it is now available on The Make Up Bullet website."
My grief was short lived when I discovered that there was a sample in the goodie bags WOOP WOOP!

The Make Up Bullet is
a hollow bullet shaped foam applicator which you can put on the end of your
finger for precise make up application. There is a pointed end to helps with
tricky areas such as under the eye and it has a soft textured surface which I imagine
will leave a really smooth finish.
La Cure UK
Have a range of products which unique composition of minerals from the
dead sea which renowned for their
therapeutic and beautifying powers.
I was given a small sample of the Natural Dead Sea Bath Salts which is
said to relieve muscle tension and the stress of daily life and give natural relief for the symptoms of skin
conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema. I only had a little bit so I can’t
vouch for the long term effects but I used it last night and I found itvery
refreshing and my skin felt very smooth.
I also tried the Papaya Body Butter which smells absolutely
delicious! It has a nice creamy consistence without being greasy, absorbs
really well into the skin and has a matt finish.
Argentum Apothecary
this was a curious yet well
packaged product.
Inspired by a dream had by one of the founders who
wanted to create a product that would work on any skin type and contains antioxidant and anti-bacterial Silver
Hydrosol which helps promote skin cell
regeneration, and hydrating DNA HP and Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil and
Vitamin E.
Argentum Apothecary has a lovely sent which I not over whelming
and it’s not too greasy. I would be especially interested to find out how it would
benefit someone like me who has super greasy skin.
ARK Skincare
I really liked some of the products that this brand had
to offer and I am interested to check out their ARK Age Aware Assessment. I
especially loved their rang of candles which can be used to moisturise your
skin!
As usual I enjoyed myself at the event but unfortunately I had to rush off
early as I was invited to the Superdry LC:M show
Superdry London Collections: Men Review
For the 2nd year uber
cool brand Superdry previewed there AW14
collection during London Collections: Men The London Sorting Office played host
to the “event” and catwalk show.
Showcasing both the men’s and
women’s AW14 collections (including the Timothy Everest collaboration) a rand
of trendy looks went down the catwalk ranging from leather and print to
military classics with bold twists.
I also noticed that a lot of the
attendees were flaunting their Superdry wears.
Despite being kept waiting outside
for some time (Kind of my thought for showing up late) and having to tip toe to
see the show I did enjoy myself at the event as I sipped Mojitos and snacked
on mini hotdogs, hamburgers and sticky toffee pudding and even had a little
boogie.
My only really complaint is that I missed Samuel L Jackson who was seated front row (Because I love him!)
Check out some of the look from the show
Elle Macpherson Rotating Dry Body Brush review
I recently purchased the NO7
facial brush and one day while using it I thought “I would love a bigger
one for my body”
I love exfoliation my body weather it’s with a
scrub, brush or exfoliation gloves but having a rotate brush would make the
task quicker and easier.
I googled rotating body brushes and I came upon
the Elle
McPherson Rotating Dry Body Brush.
As I read more about the products I learned
about some of the benefits of exfoliating skin, which include: increasing
circulation removing dead cells and stimulating renewal, helping to tone
muscles and tighten skin and helping to stimulate the nervous system by
increasing blood flow and rejuvenating the nervous system and helping to reduce
stress and last but not least can help to reduce cellulite by increasing blood
circulation to the skin, helps to break down and releases toxins that cause
cellulite in legs and hips.
Sounds good ….

This weekend I indulged myself
The natural bristles are quite rough but are
not uncomfortable, I was amazed at how much dead skin came off when I was using
it (I would recommended doing this in the bathroom)
After using the brush I jumped into the shower
and the water felt amazing on my skin!
When I finished washing and moisturized my skin
it felt amazing and smooth.
Very simple to use the body brush comes in two parts which easily slot together, then you hit the power button and away the rotating bristles go.
The Palm grip makes the brush easy to hold and maneuverer
but it could benefit from some kind of attachment which would make it easier to
do your own back.
It says on the box it is safe to use this
product every day but I would imagine that people with sensitive skin would be
better off using it every other day.
The thing I didn’t like about the product was:
It makes a weird scrapey noise
It has to charge for 5 hours for 45 minutes use
With our help from someone else you can’t do
your back
Before Christmas I told my brothers to buy this for me but
obviously the didn’t because I ended up buying it for myself, but if they did
they would have been in my good books for 2014 despite my few complaints I do
like this product and I am happy I purchased it.
Have you tried Elle Macpherson Rotating Dry
Body Brush or any kind of body brush?
What are your thoughts?
