Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules Intensive Treatment for Face and Throat

I have a full-time career (in addition to Spoiled Pretty) and I’m also a new mom, which means that I’m short on spare time - especially in the morning. Before I had Westley, I used to take my time and carefully apply my makeup before heading off to work. Now I’m so busy that I’ve had to seriously streamline my morning routine. On days when I’m in a rush, but need to look pulled together and polished, I even out my skin with foundation, then apply a skincare product that contains Vitamin E oil.

During the winter, when I’m abnormally dry, I pat Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules Intensive Treatment for Face and Throat on top of my foundation, all over my face for a dreamily dewy glow. It imparts a healthy radiance while protecting my skin from environmental stress and working its anti-aging magic. Now that it’s summertime, my skin is on oil overload – so, instead of applying it all over my face, I’ve been using the serum just on the bridge of my nose, my cheekbones and brows - to highlight my bone structure.

Hyperpigmentation is also a major skin issue for me, and I’ve found vitamin E to be particularly effective at diminishing my dark marks and acne scars – so this product is great for that too. Just remember to also use sunscreen so that the dark spots don't re-appear!

The Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules have so many benefits that they're well worth the $68 price of admission. Plus the container looks so pretty on your vanity. Just be sure to warn your sweet tooth of a spouse to look but NOT touch…Mr. Spoiled Pretty almost ate one of the capsules, thinking it was candy!

A little update on things...

Hi All!!

How are you guys? Last week was one of the most hectic and exhausting experiences of my entire life to date. To cut a long story short me and The Rockettes auditioned for X Factor last week infront of Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland, Tulis and Louie Walsh. We didn't get through which is a shame but we met the gorgeous Dermot O'Leary...

We were not what the judges were looking for which is absoutley fine, they didn't like our style but we knew before audition that it could go either way. Unfortunately our X Factor journey ended there infront of the panel and we're not bitter we will still keep doing our shows around the West Midlands because our Pub/Club/Restaurant audiences seem to love us.

However I will say I do believe that the shows producers know exactly who they are putting through before any live auditions as plenty of talented singers auditioned and didn't get through which is a shame and to hear 'we don't think you're ready' or 'come back next year' over and over.. well no one wants to hear that do they, expecially when the audience don't agree.

I haven't been 100% well this weekend either, I think i'm still recovering from all the drama and lost sleep due to X Factor. I was ill yesterday too and to top it off have come to the decision that I am allergic to a certain eyelash glue I have been using..... it just seems to get worse lol.

To end on a positive note I did go to Blackpool for the annual birthday celebrations on Saturday for my Uncle Juniors 45th, so I have 'outfit of the night' post coming up soon.

Hope you are all doing well and please bear with me whilst I get back to my old self.... i'm just too tired to do anything but work, eat and sleep.

Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron

When I showed up at work last week with a halo of shiny, bouncy curls, all of my co-workers wanted to know which salon I had visited. They were all very surprised when I told them that I styled my own hair – in 10 minutes, no less. They were even more shocked when I told them I didn’t own a curling iron.

So what’s my secret? Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron. It’s a three-in-one straightening, curling and wave making machine. The ultra-smooth, polished plates seals the hair cuticle and easily glide through hair, delivering high shine. The anti-slip edges capture all of the hairs, so that each section gets evenly straightened/waved/curled. The iron has adjustable temperature control that goes up to 450°F – and it heats up to the desired temp in less than 25 seconds – so even when I’m in a rush (which I always am these days), I never have to wait to style my hair.

What’s even better is that, in addition to basic black, it comes in…

PINK!

The Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron retails for $160 and is available at folica.com. Kinda pricey, I know…but when you consider that this one tool is all you’ll need to style your hair (it’s great for travel!) and how well it performs, you’ll realize that it’s worth the investment. Buy it now and you’ll thank me later.
