Your Cheat Sheet to Banishing Beauty Blunders

“Cheating the clock” is something that most of us have never really thought of as an actual possibility. Using an ineffective anti-aging solution to repair and rejuvenate your skin is #1 on my list of beauty blunders, but NeriumAD is my answer to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Thankfully, there are all sorts of solutions to avoiding common skin care and beauty mistakes and transforming your appearance for not only the better, but also for the best it can possibly be. 

Simple Solution #1: Avoiding leaving your skin looking lackluster
Indulge your skin this spring and nourish each and every skin cell with NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment. Fighting the signs of aging never again needs to be an uphill battle. NeriumAD’s biotechnologists deliver real results and combat the signs of aging with an effectiveness that is groundbreaking. NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment diminishes the appearance of crow’s feet, tired-looking bags that surface underneath the eyes, and also evens out the appearance of blotchy, weathered skin. Reveal your skin’s naturally gorgeous glow with NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment.

Simple Solution #2: Masking mosquito bites with ammonia
Spring and summer’s rays of sun are harsh enough on skin- don’t compromise your complexion by allowing uncomfortably itchy mosquito bites to don your arms and legs. While the smell of insect repellent probably doesn’t mix extraordinarily well with your signature scent, there is a way to keep maddening bug bites from turning into large welts and eventual scars. Pick up an anti-itch stick from your local drug store or grocery store and keep it in your purse or car console for instant relief. Each day will go smoother without the nuisance of bug bites, and your skin will remain smooth and prepped for your seasonal wardrobe.

Simple Solution #3: Curbing your enthusiasm for contouring cleavage
Sure, it makes sense to accessorize with highlighters and bronzers when you are wearing a low cut shirt or dress for a special occasion. However, go easy on powders and creams when it comes to cleavage. Powder can show up on your garment or settle into skin and crease. Slight shimmer can give your body a sun-kissed look, but going overboard will have your skin looking tired and caked with makeup. Contour your cleavage with a subtleness to have your skin looking sublime.

Escape falling victim to beauty blunders by finding resolution in these quick fixes to common beauty and skin care mistakes. This cheat sheet will help you cheat the clock and become a more beautiful you. Don’t rely on outdated tips to revive your appearance. Instead, stay tuned for more strategies for health, wellness, and beauty!




Beauty and Skin Care: Secrets to Looking Amazing this March

Aging gracefully doesn't just happen. You didn't just learn to walk any easier than you learned to drive. Aging gracefully might seem like an unattainable ideal held by many women who have influenced you. My mother seems to think beauty lies somewhere between good posture and her famous chicken casserole. While mom’s chicken casserole may be able to cure the common cold (her words, not mine,) the truth is, staying beautiful and healthy takes work. My mother had her beauty secrets and so did her mother. Now that I am a mother, I have my own secrets- I’ve discovered NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment, I haven't looked back. Here is more information about NeriumAD and additional tips for a remarkable March beauty and skin care regimen.

-Revamp your ways when it comes to skin care
Bless your mess of ineffective anti-aging solutions by throwing them in the trash as soon as possible. Nerium’s biotechnologists are experts in the arena of skin care. NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment is specifically formulated to alleviate your skin of the intensity of fine lines and wrinkles and transform your appearance, revealing your skin’s naturally youthful glow. NeriumAD comes with remarkable results, genuine testimonials and a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the same can’t be said for your current anti-aging solutions, it is most definitely time to upgrade.

-Don’t let the sunshine in
While the sun’s rays brighten your mood, they do exactly the opposite when it comes to your skin. Exposing your skin to the sun without protection will wreak havoc on your skin cells, leaving your skin’s appearance looking worn and torn. The effects the sun has on your skin aren’t limited to the blazing hot summer. Sun damage is a yearlong risk, which means each of us need to take action to avoid overexposure. Keep sunscreen in your car console or purse and apply and reapply without hesitation. Your skin will thank you- and you can restore, moisturize and condition with sunscreen while faking a sun-kissed glow with bronzer at any given moment.

-Shop Smarter
Limit impulse buys, and save receipts, always. Aging gracefully has much to do with how you present yourself. That dress that flattered your figure and made you feel runway-ready in the department store may not be the bargain you’d hoped for once you’ve had a bit more time to scrutinize it at home. Boutiques and chain retail stores often cleverly utilize marketing experts to detail the interior of their stores and allure with an atmosphere that will have anyone looking their best. From ultra-forgiving lighting to leaning full-length mirrors against the wall at an angle, which creates a “slimming” effect, there are a multitude of reasons that may prompt you towards buyer’s remorse after giving that gorgeous frock a second look. Consider your purchases carefully, save receipts and feel free to return any item that isn’t as pleasing as you first thought.

Maintaining a healthy skin care and beauty regimen doesn’t have to be a chore. Making the decision to take small, simple steps every day can make all the difference. These no-brainer tips will have you looking and feeling fantastic without spending unnecessary time and money. Make mom proud, and feel free to share these strategies with her! Your own beauty tips are always welcome in the comments section, as well as legendary chicken casserole recipes.


3 Steps to Obtaining a Sweeter Image Without Breaking a Sweat

Time spent at the gym, in the sauna, jogging, and at multiple hot yoga classes are definitely effective ways to improve one’s appearance. However, let me share with you some other, more simple strategies that will enhance your ability to present a more beautiful you.

-Satisfy your cravings (but not too often)
If fast food is your vice, don’t worry! You don’t have to give it up completely, but limit your trips through the drive-thru to once a week at the most. (This includes pizza delivery and other variations of comfort food carryout or delivery.) Fast food calories and fat grams add up quickly and while a trip through the drive-thru may seem like a time saver in the moment, extra time at the gym will be required to negate hasty, hungry decision-making. Treat yourself on a lazy Saturday or a stressful Tuesday when you simply don’t have time to cook, just don’t make an enormous habit of it. 

-Defy the signs of aging NeriumAD 
I, for one, am always unpleasantly surprised by each fine line and wrinkle that my morning routine in front of the mirror brings to light. While I’m aware that my skin is aging, I see no reason for my appearance to reflect my actual age, which is why I depend on NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment to revitalize my skin’s appearance. NeriumAD replenishes and restores damaged cells while diminishing the severity of the signs of aging that surface on my skin. Applying NeriumAD to my face each morning allows me to relieve myself of worries over the appearance of my skin. Within the first few weeks, I was able to notice an enormous difference in my complexion. NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment delivers real results, making it the most valuable skin care product I’ve encountered. 

-Avoid acrylic on your toenails
Acrylic on toes during the spring and summer may seem like a lovely option at first, but even the likes of Kim Kardashian and Donatella Versace aren’t fooling anyone with extra long, super-strong toenails. Not only do artificial toenail extensions look ridiculously unnatural, they are pricey and limit you to wearing open-toe shoes all season. Do many of us have the time to rush to the salon every week and a half for a toenail fill-in? I think not. Choose properly pedicured toes that you can repaint at home and think twice before splurging on acrylic when it comes to your feet. 


Breaking a sweat isn’t something I’d ever discourage you from, but compliment your workout routines with these steps to obtaining a sweeter image. Share your own suggestions in the comments section below. Combining our knowledge will make taking the steps to a more marvelous health and wellness journey that much easier!

This problem is easily solved with the assistance of a close friend or relative and a little bit of saran wrap. Avoid the drive-thru on the most important day of your life. Instead, salivate over each succulent side dish- when your schedule suits.

-Don’t scrimp when it comes to hiring a photographer
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life.

All you need is love, but a little practical advice along the way never hurts. Allow these tips to assist you in dismissing worry and being able to focus on the wedding-day moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.  

Quick Fixes for Beauty Faux Pas

While aqua blue eye shadow that screams “punk-rock fever” and teased, curled and hairspray-saturated bangs that mirror a cluster of carnations are a thing of the past, beauty blunders are not. We’ve come a log way, but 2014 has as many “beauty don’ts” as previous years. For a succinct and savvy skin care and beauty regimen, refer to these tips.

Faux pas #1: Accessorizing with excessive glitter
Unless you are prepping for your debut as a pop singer or readying your face for a photo shoot, opt for a subtle shimmer on eyes and cheekbones. Long gone are the days when it was cute to mimic the sparkle that is reserved for Disney princesses. Keep your use of  glitter-flecked products to toenails unless extreme shimmer and shine is a Halloween costume accessory.

Faux pas #2: Becoming a woman shorn amidst a breakup
We’ve all been scorned, but cutting your hair is not the solution to any problem. Any drastic decision concerning your locks should be carefully planned, but even celebrities have fallen into the trap of sheering off beautiful tresses as the result of a breakup. Sandra Bullock has said publicly that she’s many times, in the past, opted for bangs after a bad breakup and regretted her decision each time.  Not only may an impulsive choice to chop off inches make you appear to be desperate for a second glance, you may end up with a haircut you hate! After a breakup steer clear of pursuing a brand new look that may not flatter your image. Stick to time spent with close friends, exploring new hobbies and delving into a brighter, more beautiful future with someone you’ll be truly happy with. 

Faux pas #3: Failing to find and fawn over an anti-aging solution preemptively
Don’t scramble and scurry for an anti-aging method that you can count on after fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear on the surface of your skin. Instead, prepare your skin to retain its youthful glow by applying NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment each morning. Any skin care routine should require an anti-aging product that comes with real results. NeriumAD will diminish the intensity of the appearance fine lines and wrinkles, as well as combat the signs of aging long before they emerge on the surface of your skin. For a natural way to rejuvenate your skin and secure the vitality that your appearance currently exudes, compliment your skin care journey with the transformative power of NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment.


While we all love a throwback to the eighties, none of us want our appearance to resemble a reliance on outdated beauty tips. Treat your skin care and makeup application prowess to an update by adhering to these modern ways of fixing beauty faux pas with a quickness.

The Blushing Bride’s Practical Guide to Beauty and Wedding Planning

The responsibilities of planning a wedding combined with concern’s over one’s appearance can often ban a bride from feelings of bliss during the days approaching her wedding. However, there is hope! Soothe your skin’s appearance with NeriumAD’s Age-Defying Treatment and soothe your psyche with these additional secrets to making your wedding day splendid without added stress. 

Secret #1: Manage your time (and ask others to be considerate of yours)
While booking hair appointments, mani-pedis, etc., allot hours generously rather than conservatively. Of course you will be aware of the importance of punctuality during your big day and the days leading up to your wedding, but things happen. Allow for a bridesmaid or two to be late or for your beautician’s previous client to get fussy and overstay their welcome. Traffic happens, people oversleep, etc. Delays are inevitable, but once you’ve planned your schedule with allowances for tardiness (and given your family members and the members of your wedding party a copy of their schedule as a gentle reminder,) you’ll glide through the days leading up to your wedding, prepared, focused and anxiety-free.

Secret #2: Invest in a videographer 
For the most part, gone are the days of hard-copy photo albums. Invest in a talented videographer to capture each and every moment of your wedding day. Add to your digital photo albums with stills from the film. As a result of having a videographer by your side, you’ll be able to send copies of the disk or a link to an online video to friends and family as part of your thank you notes. More importantly, you’ll be able to relive and cherish many moments and emotions from your wedding in a way that photos may supplement, but will never supersede.

Secret #3: While planning for your future, plan on obtaining brighter, more beautiful skin
You’ve been waiting your whole life for this spectacular day. Make your wedding memorable instead of stressful by relying on NeriumAD to prepare your skin for your audience and just as important, the lenses of their cameras. Fine lines and wrinkles tend to show up with more intensity on the surface of our skin at the most inopportune moments. Call it stress, lack of sleep, or good-old fashioned unwelcome signs of aging. Fortunately, NeriumAD’s Age-Defying Treatment offers skin rescue. Diminishing the signs of crow’s feet, evening splotchy skin tone, and improving your skin’s overall appearance, NeriumAD will reveal your skin’s natural, youthful glow. Begin applying NeriumAD daily months before your wedding and have your groom do the same. Remove insecurities over skin issues and concentrate on other aspects of your wedding. NeriumAD’s Age-Defying treatment will have you both looking fresh-faced and camera-ready for your big day.

Refuse to become overwhelmed by wedding planning! Fall in love with the journey of borrowing something old and finding something blue. Follow these steps to creating a spectacular wedding and rely on NeriumAD to have you at ease over your skin’s appearance. Just relax and enjoy every step you take towards the altar.


2014 Handbook to Skin Care and Beauty Mistakes & Solutions

The steps to a successful beauty and skin care journey aren’t always obvious. Few of us can consult a stylist or skin care
specialist when it comes to beauty blunders. Here, you’ll find common beauty mistakes with mapped out solutions. From the benefits of adding NeriumAD as an invaluable asset to your skin care arsenal to additional ways to secure a stellar appearance, use this cheat sheet for fabulous results.

-Applying too much blush
Raggedy Ann is the only female in history able to pull off excessive, severely defined circles of blush. And… her first name is “Raggedy.” Blush can be a beautiful way to revive tired-looking skin or make your face look sun-kissed. However, too much blush will turn “hello, beautiful” into “haggard.” Tame your blush brush by starting with the apples of your cheeks and applying only small amounts. Sweep upwards along your cheekbones towards your hairline for a blush job that looks lush and dewy instead of heavy-handed and over-exaggerated. 

-Sleeping in your make up
After an entirely too long of a day at the office or several nights that involve much less sleep than you and your body prefer, it’s easy to be tempted to hit the hay without first removing your makeup. Leftover bronzer and mascara can not only do a number on your pillowcases, but allowing makeup to linger can also clog pores and lead to blemishes. The same makup tips that turned you into a beauty bombshell during the evening will be detrimental to your skin if you fail to exfoliate before sleeping. Utilize the night as a chance for your skin to repair itself. That being said, refer to our next beauty blunder to avoid…

-Forgetting to indulge in an effective night cream
NeriumAD’s Night Cream not only rejuvenates skin while you rest your pretty head, it also fights the signs of aging. By exfoliating your skin and applying NeriumAD’s Night Cream before turning in, you can rid your face of the day’s dirt and give your skin the chance to recover from the harmful elements that flank cells during your waking hours. NeriumAD’s Night cream reduces the intensity of the appearance of the fine lines and wrinkles that surface on your face, balances uneven skin tone and diminishes the appearance of dark spots. The anti-aging solution is formulated by NeriumAD’s own biotechnologists, ensuring that you wake with skin that is more youthful in appearance and more radiant than you thought possible.
