SUSTAINABLE YOUTH

Nothing gets me more excited than being surprised by a product around the Beauty By Mary Schook testing "lab". A couple of months ago I was sent a cream and serum to test from a company called Sustainable Youth .
What initially drew in my curiosity about this particular product is that it said it was mostly green and clinically effective in anti-aging because of their patented ingredient Alasta ®. We can't count how many times we have tested "green" products only to find them disappointing and cause our client's (or even my own skin) to react.
Another thing that attracted us to this product line is their mantra: beauty starts from the inside out. That is also our philosophy at Beauty By Mary Schook.
In addition the fact that there are only three products is sometimes a good indicator that a consumer will likely end up with more quality, not useless products!
BUT educated deductions never replace testing for us, so our testing began by adding Sustainable Youth's serum and cream to some of the client's treatments.
Immediately from that moment forward we began to receive phone calls and emails from the clients. They were calling to tell us that their skin seemed to "hold their treatments better" and also "appeared more elastic"!
I am still pleased to say that the popularity of Sustainable Youth has continued to increase.
Give the website a quick view to see some of their befores and afters at www.sustainableyouthproducts.com
I believe right now they're even running a recession special. Special or not I can say that the product is well worth the price and opens the eco market up to new hope!

Cheers!

SPRING BOHO HITS STORES TODAY!

Mary Schook, and Boho Magazine, fashion and beauty's first green magazine, have joined forces to shed some light on the booming organic and natural care industry. Boho's spring issue hits newstands Feb17th with cover model and A-list actress turned activist, Neve Campbell. PRESS RELEASE

BEAUTY STARTS FROM WITHIN

It's 2009! We have a new president. Feels like a good time for a fresh new start right?!

No matter what your beauty regimen is or how old you are beauty has to start from the inside. If your cells are toxic and can't function then how do you expect to fight the aging battle?

Beauty 212 called upon Inna Topiler C.N., H.H.C. from Hoboken, NJ's Complete Nutrition and Wellness to give us some guidelines on how to jumpstart our "inner beauty."

"January is generally a great month to start a cleanse," states Inna. "The holidays are certainly a time to enjoy, but many of us overindulge in food and drink and tend to skip the gym. This leaves us feeling bigger, more fatigued."

What is the best way to go about a cleanse?
Inna writes in her monthly client newsletter:

"For the past 2 years, I have been using the Standard Process 3 week purification cleanse in my practice and getting amazing results. It involves discontinuing fast foods, processed convenience foods, and sugar filled snacks which place an unnecessary load on the body and replacing them with whole, unprocessed, preservative-free foods, like whole grains, fruits, vegetable and lean meats, lots of pure spring water and tasty shakes. Whole food supplements are also used to help your body purify and rebuild itself naturally, from the inside out while supporting all the organ systems involved in detoxification.

Patients have experienced anywhere from 5-15 pounds of weight loss, increased energy, removal of food addictions, clearer thinking, better digestion, less bloating, clearer skin, shinier hair, and improved general health with the disappearance or lessening of past conditions. Because this is a true healthy cleanse and not just a fad diet, it is not very difficult, does not require any fasting and you can go on with your daily routine without any interruptions. And best of all, the above results stay with you after you are done."

Thanks for that great information Inna!

In a future post we will talk about a hair analysis that Inna has done with me that tests the nutrition taking place in my body, and address the things I need to start thinking about.

I think you will find it fascinating!

LOVIN' MY LASHES!!!

Behold......I have FINALLY found the lash formula that is the closest to the original Jan Marini lash formula. It is called NEU LASH.
I had my hesitations that Neu Lash would even work after growing weary from trying over a dozen "lash growth" products advertised on the market. It seemed pointless to test it now that the magic ingredient contained in the original lash growth products was revoked from cosmetic products.....that is until one day metrosexual Santa Monica Bob sent me over a tube and said I HAD to try it.
He said it was so effective on him he had to cut his lashes shorter.

With hesitation I applied the Neu Lash formula at the base of my lashes every night as instructed.
First week. Nothing.
2nd week. Nothing too noticeable.
3rd week. It began to look a little fuller.
4th week. Fullness maintained.
Fast forward to 2.5 months......WOW! My lashes aren't yet up to my brows, but they're considerably longer and fuller. Everyone asks me if I have lash extensions on when I put on my mascara. Yippee!!!!

And by the way if you prefer to pay to see an eye doctor to get a prescription for lash growth.....please be my guest.

Want a fun and beautiful way to tell your friends Happy Holidays?
Sephora's little tech elves were busy finding a way to outdo Office Depot's freaky dancing elves.
Had it not been for one of my colleagues sending this my way I would have missed out on a really fun way of trying some beauty looks and giving some of my friends a good laugh.
God knows right now a lot of people need to be doing a lot of laughing this holiday!

All you have to do is click on the link above to view my holiday card. After it is done playing click on the create your own sign on the lower right side.
There is an easy guide to take you through all of the steps.

I had trouble choosing between the four little makeover options so I decided to post them all up there for you.

I want to also take this time to thank you all this year for your emails and questions even though I had to dedicate my time to my business and Boho magazine. I plan on digging into things more with you guys in the new year!

The most interest seems to be with ACNE so look for more videos and posts on this subject.

In the meantime have a safe and beautiful holiday!
