moving...

hello beauties!

guess what?? my family has been moving! yes, it just so happened to occur thanksgiving week, but that's just how everything worked out. obviously, i'm thankful and so excited (i have my own walk-in closet! no more sharing one with hubby, woo-hoo!), but that means an interruption in my daily blogging life. no one is more bummed than me, but i expect that everything will get back to normal by next week.

At-Home Hair Tips from Hair Rules Founder, Anthony Dickey

if only we all had the time and budget to indulge in the luxury and relaxation that going to a spa offers. spending four figures on a full day of beauty treatments may not be realistic for most of us, but sometimes, a few truly pampering at home tricks can be even better. after all… the service is practically free and you don't have to go anywhere!

"there are many wonderful essential oils for the scalp that we use for so many purposes from adding luster and shine, to fortifying the scalp and hair, to offering astringent or anti-bacterial properties," says Dickey, celebrity hair stylist & founder of Hair Rules. "that's why we offer several special essential oil "ting" treatments at the salon for the hair and scalp."

here are a few of Dickey's favorite essential oils for at home hair and scalp spa treatments:

almond oil is a wonderful moisturizer and scalp soother. not only does it contain protein and important minerals, but it acts like you own sebum, encouraging moisture retention.

eucalyptus oil has significant antiseptic and anti-bacterial qualities. its active germicidal agents prevent infection, and it leaves your scalp feeling cool, tingly and soothed.

comfrey is a powerful healing herb. it can aid in destroying bacteria and healing cuts and abrasions, and also contains a natural hormone called allantoin which is known for its cell-restorative properties and may also serve as a natural retardant for hair loss.


have you tried any of these treatments? i haven't yet. any of these oils would be great to use and will be an especially sweet treat considering we're in the middle of the hectic holiday season!

Mengatasi Kecanduan Seks

Kecanduan seks bentuknya bisa macam-macam, tapi pada umumnya berupa perilaku di luar kontrol. Perilaku tersebut misalnya :
* Menyukai hal-hal berbau pornografi secara berlebihan
* Ekshibisionis dan sejenisnya
* Terlalu sering masturbasi

* Suka Telepon atau internet seks
* Affair yang dilakukan dengan banyak orang
* Seks beresiko (high risk sex)

Bagaimana Mengatasi Kecanduan Seks ?

Jika Anda merasa memiliki perilaku seperti disebutkan di atas, yang pertama harus disadari adalah kecanduan seksual adalah masalah serius yang tidak akan hilang dengan sendirinya. Anda harus mendapatkan pengobatan atau terapi untuk menyembuhkannya.

Kebanyakan penderita merasa kesulitan untuk mengubah perilakunya sendiri. Anda mungkin bisa mengurangi kegiatan seksual untuk sementara, tetapi biasanya siklusnya akan semakin sering dan sulit untuk diputus. Jasa terapi dari para profesional bisa membantu Anda memahami apa yang terjadi dan menguatkan semangat Anda untuk mengubahnya menjadi kehidupan seksual yang lebih sehat.

Mengobati kecanduan seks, seperti kecanduan lainnya, sangat tergantung dari orang bersangkutan. Jika ia bisa menyadari bahwa perbuatannya salah dan ada kemauan untuk mengubahnya, pengobatan menjadi lebih mudah. Proses pengobatan bisa berupa serangkaian terapi mengenai kesehatan seksual, hubungan cinta yang sehat, pernikahan, atau mengikuti program support group. Terkadang obat-obatan tertentu, seperti Prozac atau Anafranil, diperlukan untuk menahan dorongan seksual yang berlebihan.

Jika pasangan Anda mengalami kecanduan seksual, hal ini adalah tantangan untuk Anda untuk membantunya mengubah perilakunya. Perlu Anda sadari juga bahwa tidak ada seorang pun yang bisa sembuh dari rasa ketagihan kecuali ia menerima bahwa dirinya punya masalah dan bertekad untuk berubah. Memiliki pasangan yang kecanduan seks memang berat dan membingungkan, tetapi bukan tak mungkin hal ini disembuhkan. Anda hanya perlu mendorongnya untuk berkonsultasi ke dokter.

Cara-cara untuk mengatasi kecanduan Onani itu diantaranya 10 langkah berikut ini.

1) Yang terpenting, yakinlah bahwa kau mampu mengatasi masalah ini. Kau sudah mampu menahan diri untuk tidak berzina dengan pacarmu, tentulah kau juga mampu menahan diri untuk tidak membiasakan diri melakukan onani. Untuk memperkuat keyakinan diri itu, biasakanlah diri mengucap dzikir yang relevan..

2) Cari tahulah apa saja keadaan-keadaan dirimu yang memicu dirimu membiasakan diri melakukan masturbasi. Misalnya, kau biasa bermasturbasi setiap kali merasa kesepian, bosan, atau tertekan (stres). Kalau memang begitu, waspadalah dirimu setiap kali berada dalam keadaan begitu. Dalam keadaan begitu, tanamkanlah kembali keyakinanmu bahwa kau mampu menahan diri untuk tidak membiasakan diri melakukan onani. Atasilah berbagai keadaan yang tidak nyaman itu dengan solusi lain yang tidak bersifat seksual. Misalnya dengan cara berdzikir.

3) Temukanlah sebab-sebab mengapa kau mampu menahan diri untuk tidak berzina dengan pacarmu. Lalu berlakukanlah hal-hal yang relevan dengan kasus kebiasaan masturbasimu. Misalnya, kalau kau mampu menahan diri untuk tidak berzina dengan pacarmu karena kau menghargai dirinya setinggi-tingginya, maka hargailah juga dirimu sendiri setinggi-tingginya.

4) Hindari menyendiri! Selalulah bersama orang lain (yang tidak membangkitkan rangsangan seksual), kecuali bila terpaksa. Bila terpaksa menyendiri, misalnya di kamar mandi, jangan berlama-lama! Lima menit sudah cukup. Bila kau membutuhkan waktu yang relatif lama ketika menyendiri (misalnya di kamar mandi) lantaran berbagai aktivitas sekaligus, pisahkanlah aktivitas-aktivitas itu. Jadi, mandi, keramas, gosok gigi, dan lain-lain, hendaknya dilakukan dalam waktu yang tidak bersamaan.

5) Di tempat tidur, singkirkanlah jauh-jauh guling dan barang-barang lain yang dapat kau gosok-gosokkan ke alat kelaminmu. Selain itu, pakailah celana dan baju tertentu yang membuatmu sulit bermain-main dengan alat kelaminmu. Setiap kali kau merasa nafsu birahimu memuncak di tempat tertentu (misalnya di kamar mandi atau tempat tidur), beranjaklah dari situ. Pergilah ke tampat lain. Temuilah orang-orang, ngobrollah tentang apa saja yang jauh dari rangsangan seksual.

6) Di mana pun, hindari pornografi atau pun yang semi porno. Jagalah pandangan mata dan pendengaran telingamu dari segala yang membangkitkan birahi.

7) Setiap kali bangun tidur, segeralah bangkit dengan penuh antusias. Jangan bermalas-malasan.

8) Sibukkanlah dirimu dengan berbagai aktivitas yang kau sukai dan jauh dari rangsangan seksual. Utamakanlah aktivitas yang dilakukan bersama orang lain. Misalnya, kau suka membaca buku dan main catur. Ketika kau merasa nafsu seksualmu bangkit alias terangsang, lebih baik main catur bersama orang lain daripada membaca buku sendirian.

9) Sibukkanlah juga pikiranmu dengan berbagai hal yang kau sukai dan jauh dari rangsangan seksual.

10) Bila perlu, mintalah bantuan profesional dari ahlinya, seperti psikolog dan psikiater.

Semoga Bermanfaat

nail color of the week: Rescue Beauty Lounge Grunge

Rescue Beauty Lounge's Grunge is a fabulous neutral, but unlike any neutral i own. it's a described as a moody pinkish grey with a dash of lilac, and i think that's a perfect description.



though i bought Grunge earlier this year, this is only my second time wearing it. in certain light it really looks more pink, and in others it looks more grey-- look at it, it's amazing! :)

StriVectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum

StriVectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum is a new product that promises to gently exfoliate skin overnight-- while you sleep to be more specific --minimizing the appearance of large pores, improving skin's tone and overall appearance so you look more radiant when you wake in the morning.

so, does it work??

i found that it did leave my skin feeling smoother and looking more refreshed the next morning after using it for the first time. now after using it for over 6 weeks, my skin still looks great and a few dark spots (that had been left after a few pesky breakouts) are a distant memory. i am really enjoying this facial serum!

ingredients include willowbark and retinyl palmitate (they gently exfoliate the skin), rosa multiflora fruit extract (helps brighten the skin), and vitamins C and E (antioxidants). it also caontains Exfolactive®,a rich source of complex sugars that increase natural enzyme productivity for enhanced exfoliation.

if you're looking for a gentle exfoliating product, i highly recommend you try this for yourself. this new breakthrough product is one anyone of any age can use, and it's even safe to use around the eyes.

visit strivictin.com for more info and to purchase. you can also find it in Sephora and Macy's stores.

Leighton Meester's L'Oreal Liploss of Choice

L'Oreal's Infallible Plumping Lipgloss, like the original, leaves lips glossy and actually lasts on lips longer than most lipglosses. Plumped Tawny and Plumped Rose are the colors i like to wear the most, but i don't find that it adds any fullness to my lips. i can, however, feel the cool tingling when i wear it.

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester also likes this gloss, finding it gives her that little something extra.:

"L'Oréal Paris' Infallible Plumping Lipgloss
in Plumped Red gives me that extra little color
and boost when i really want my lips to pop."

visit lorealparis.com for more info. find it at a drugstore and mass retailer near you.

have you tried Infallible Plumping Lipgloss yet?

WWD: Kate Moss On Her New Fragrance & Living a Fashionable Life

Kate Moss sat down with Women's Wear Daily contributor Brid Costello to discuss her new scent Vintage, which was introduced in europe earlier this month. additionally, Stephen Mormoris, svp of global marketing at Coty said they may look into having Moss create a special color cosmetics collections for its Rimmel brand, which Moss also fronts.



the fragrance's genesis–- Moss' love for vintage fashion–- has much more humble origins. "i couldn't really afford designer clothes when i was young, so i just went to the secondhand shops. it wasn't called vintage then, it was called 'secondhand' when i was 15."

read the full article here




WWD Beauty Biz also spoke with the supermodel about her very fashionable life-- among other things, she opens up about her dfinition of beauty, her inspirations and how to multitask....

defining beauty:

"it sounds really corny, but i think that if you’'e beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. you can be a pretty face, but if you're not a nice person it just doesn’t work. i'm not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think i'm all right. if you’re a nice person, it definitely helps."

on having a motto:

"there are loads. there's "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.”

her secrets to multitasking:

"i think women are really good at multitasking. men just cannot do it. my boyfriend cannot talk on the phone and [answer] if i ask him a question or get dressed at the same time. i can do all of that-- talk on the phone, answer a question, get dressed and put my makeup on all at the same time. women just do, don't they? i think it's something to do with babies. when you have a child, you have to be able to multitask."

Body Beautiful: When Do You Prefer To Workout?

it's my personal habit to wake up before my family to workout. it's not something i always enjoy doing (really, if i told you how early i wake up, you'd think i was nuts), but i love that i can get in a seriously tough workout before the sun comes up-- then i'm done and i can move on with my day!

do you exercise? if so, when do you do it? did you know there are benefits to working out at different times of day? yep, and thanks to my friends at Blush Media, i'm here to share them with you...



morning exercise benefits:

* a boost of energy. a morning jog can give you extra energy for the rest of the day. another bonus? it staves off hunger. so you'll be less likely to reach for munchies throughout the day because you won't need the energy boost.

* a clear head. your mental acuity improves, so you're able to stay sharp on your feet for whatever comes your way later on in the day (even three cups of coffee can't do it as well as a head-clearing run).

*you'll burn more calories throughout the day. if you kick-start your day with a trip to the gym, you'll raise your heart rate and metabolism, which will stay revved up throughout the day. another bonus? you're not dreading a workout after work. it's done. the only thing left on your calendar is relaxation.




midday workout benefits (don't feel guilty for relishing those extra 30 minutes beneath your down comforter):

* even a twenty-minute sweat session will leave you feeling refreshed and focused.

* a workout in the middle of the day can help beat that afternoon slump and deter you from reaching for a sugary late-afternoon snack.

* it will release any pent up tension and improve blood flow so you can renew your focus (and sanity) to help you get through the rest of your day.




benefits of working out in the evenings (some would rather have their feet up in front of the dvr, but for some this is the only time):

* this is the best time to clear your head of all the demands and to-dos hurled at you all day-- zone out and have some you time. you can focus the stress and aggression into your workout, using that to make your body go harder and faster.

* you're less prone to injury. your muscles are already warmed up and flexible from a day of movement.

* all that stuff that weighed you down today? you can sweat it out-- you truly can.
