Make Me Beautiful

by Dee Braun

There are a myriad of ideas for health, beauty, body care, facial care…now here’s another great technique to help you on your way to healthier skin.

The energized facial is one way to slow down, relax and give your face some added TLC. It is a great, easy and natural therapy for beautiful skin - and takes less than 5 minutes!

How To:

1) Rub palms of hands together briskly 35-40 times - you will feel the energy and heat build up.

2) Relax and hold hands (palms towards face) in front of face - about an inch away from your skin.

3) BREATHE - in for a count of five, out for a count of five. Do this five times.

When To:

1) While washing face - rub hands together as above - then wash face as usual feeling the energy penetrate as you cleanse.

2) After applying your favorite treatment mask - help the mask work even better by using this technique.

3) Nightly when lying in bed before sleep, after completing your evening skin care regimen and applying your nightly creams and lotions.

4) As a weekly facial after applying your favorite essential oil or blend

One way I’ve learned to use this is while in the tub. After washing my face I apply my favorite facial oil blend or beauty product, get a wash cloth wet with as hot a water as I can stand, and lay it over my face. I then do the hand-energy technique over the wash cloth and following with a cool water rinse.

The American Latino Media Arts Award, or ALMA Award is a distinction awarded to Latino performers (actors, film and television directors, and musicians) who promote positive portrayals of Latinos in the entertainment field.

Last Sunday night, some celebrities gathered at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, received their awards and posed in the red carpet. Here’s some of the stars that glittered during that night:

Jessica Alba showed off her fabulous post-baby body in a pretty pink dress.

America Ferrera sported a striped frock.

Disney’s latest It Girl, Selena Gomez, was in virginal white one-shouldered-Grecian gown.

Paula Abdul posed in her body-fitted gown with pink taffeta train.

High School Musical Star, Ashley Tidale, wore complementary colors: yellow and purple.

“Without a Trace’s” Roselyn Sanchez freezes like a robot in her flirty, one-shoulder frock.

Forty-one year old, Daisy Fuentes wowed everyone in her white, floor-length gown.

Bright pink lips seemed to be pretty popular on the runway in S/S07. In the Diane von Furstenburg show, the look seemed to be basically bright pink lips with pale, clear skin and natural-looking mascara. Note the tiny bit of shimmer on the inner corners of the eyes. Also, note the hint of gold/ orange in the inner edge of the lips.

Solid, matte bright pink at the Bradgley Mischka S/S08 show. The other makeup used seems pretty similar, except there is more blush used here, and the skin is not as bright and perfect as in the DvF show.

Then things got much more dramatic on the Christian Dior F/W08. The pink lips are glossy and the brows are heavily painted in. The foundation on the skin also seems a lot of powedery.

So when I actually try out this look, I’ll probably go with something very similar to the DvF S/S07 look, but without bothering with the gold in the lips. While I think bright pink lips looks cool and edgy and girly in magazine editorials and on TV, I’m still not sure how bright pink lips actually work in real life. My main question is, do people actually wear shocking pink lipstick in real life?

Miley was spotted last Saturday with her family. She wore Rachel Pally’s star dress, a black cropped vest, and red Chucks to have a casual style.

Meanwhile, Suri was seen with her mom, Katie, in a park last week and sported a polka dots dress and gold shoes.

Both were celebrities’ kid and both wore black and white dress. Who’s best dressed? Miley in her black dress with white stars or Suri in her white dress with black dots?
