Juice recipes for great skin

Today I am sharing a few juice recipes I found at wellandgoodnyc.com to achieve skin that looks "more hydrated, alive and glowing." The New York celeb aesthetician Joanna Vargas created theses recipes as beauty boosters. What we put inside out bodies is very important to maintain healthy skin. Since I am adapting more to becoming a successful esthy with more knowledge in the beauty industry, sharing information about beauty and health are my priority. I believe theses recipes will come in handy whenever I need a healthy boost!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure


A month ago I got to try my Broadway nails imPress I got inside my Spring Voxbox from Influenster and I have both positive and negative things to say about this press-on manicure.  First time I saw the pattern in the package it looked very tacky but once I put it on I completely changed my mind. This pattern it far from ordinary or traditional;it's fun and eye catching. They are super easy to put on and It only took me about 5 minutes to apply them. Later on that day I had a couple fall outs so I tried to put them back on but the glue was not sticky enough to stay on my nail. That's the only negative experience I had but it is something that can be fixed. To make them stay stronger what I did was apply nail glue and the problem was fixed right away. Even though these nails come with some glue already stuck to the nail and claim to last for up to a week, I really don't mind applying extra glue to make it last longer. If I am going to buy these again I will make sure to make the best out of it so making sure they stay on my nails is crucial.  

When I decided to remove them after a week of use, my nails were not damaged and the removal was very easy. There is also enough nails included to use twice and the option to choose smaller to bigger nails to fit your best size.

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+

     Hair styling with  OSIS+ Gelastic ultra strong flex gel from 
Schwarzkopf professional



My daily hair routine consist of two simple steps: washing and blow drying. My hair is naturally straight and for the most part I wear it down when going out almost everywhere. It's fast and convenient because most of the time I am in a rush to get ready and very few times I take a full hour to style my hair in a different way. Having straight hair to me means that I can be lazy with it because I cant get away with putting some deep conditioner to make it look silky & beautiful by the time it air dries or blow dry it. Well, this blog is about killing boring hair routine for once and for all and achieve a fresh inspiration with Schwarzkopf products. 

Before and After




My Styling Tips 

  1. Shampoo and condition hair
  2. Pour Osis Gelastic on hands and apply to damp hair then crunch hair with hands
  3. Repeat several times until hair stays wavy.
  4. Air dry or blow dry a little. Leave hair down or style however you desire.




Benefits: 
  • Ultra Strong style control all day long
  • Dries with a firm strong finish
  • Lasting definition 
  • Control Level 4
Discover more about OSIS+ Schwarzkopf hair products here:  Schwarzkopf Professional Website

Second day of trying the same style of hair with OSiS Gelastic Texture and my hair at the end of the day end up having more volume and some pretty waves. I love it.

Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes

This candy bar says to be all about fluffy chocolate and delicious creme filling. It's light and comes in a unique kandy bar shape. Before taking a bite I checked the nutrition facts and couldn't help but noticed it had a lot of bad things for a small snack. I don't usually go buy sweet treats or candy because I'm not a fan of sugar but when I do it's a once in a while thing. The creme filling makes it taste a lot better but overall it's not enough to make me buy this bar again. It is available is the flavors of S'mores, peppermint, and peanut butter.

Schwarzkopf Professional

In this feature Spring Fever Voxbox Influensters received one of the following Schwarzkopf products: 
  • OSIS Dust it ($23.00)
  • OSIS Rough Rubber ($20.00)
  • OSIS Gelastic ($18.00)

I received the OSIS+ Gelastic ultra strong flex gel in my Spring Fever Box and it provides an ultra strong style control all day long, dries with a firm strong grip, and gives lasting definition. The application for this product is by applying a small amount of gel to wet hair and style it however your want it. Your can blow dry your hair or just let it air dry. It could also be applied into dry hair for additional separation. This gel is great to achieve soft and bouncy curls and a sleek slick pony.



Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant 

Secret Outlast clear gels has rub off resistant coverage to leave fewer white marks on clothes. The formula is designed to stick to your skin  and give effective 48-hour protection. Unlike other clear gel deodorants, secret outlast clear gel has a fast drying ingredient that evaporates in seconds. It will resist hot, humid, and stressful situations so it will capture odor while giving a fresh scent. It even helps prevent odor before it starts while moving or just sitting still. It does have a fresh scent but a little strong for my choice. I like my deodorant to have a light scent after hours of wearing it. The least thing I want is my deodorant scent to stand out and seemed like I put on a ton of it when in reality it just too strong.

Palmolive® soft touch




Tough on Grease, Soft on Hands



I was selected to test the exclusive new household product and as  always I'm excited to be accepted to the next Influenter program. This box is all about a little TLC while taking away the grime and Palmolive soft touch cleans everything. These soaps are specially formulated to be tough on grease without leaving hands feeling and looking dry. I was very happy to receive this voxbox because I consider myself a clean freak in the kitchen and just love to see everything spotless. 



The Palmolive Aloe bottle was the first I tried and it has provided me with exceptional results every time I do my dishes. It cuts through grease so it makes cleaning easy and faster. The scent is pleasing and soothing since it's not too strong but enough to leave my dishes and sponge smelling fresh all the time.  


Before I had the chance to share the Palmolive Vitamin E bottle with my mother I had to test this one a little bit to find out which one could be my favorite. This Vitamin E bottle proved to be as effective in cleaning dishes very well as the Aloe formulation but found it to be more moisturizing to my hands because of its creamy texture. I love the scent and the size of these bottle are perfect to make the soap last for months. I like to make a product last for as long as it can so I only use a tiny drop and it still works to create a lot of foam and clean a lot of dishes. Bottom line I made the Vitamin E formula my favorite. I am expecting to get the same great results from the coconut formula

You can find soft touch at Walmart!

My nails have managed to stay chipped free and beautiful even after doing dishes daily. Using a strong top coat makes the difference too ;)


    I received these items complimentary from Influenster and all opinions are my own.

Haul -Pups Food Favorites & More



Today I will share a few of the favorites I like to get for my pup. Top left corner is Gucci with her Milo's Kitchen beef sausages slices with rice and bottom left is my sister's dog Camila about to savor the Beneful Baked Delights. 


The Purina Begging Little Strips bacon flavor have been one of the top favorite to get along with the Dentastix and Milo's Kitchen treats. 


Besides loving beauty samples, I also love finding dog sample treats for my pup whenever possible. Spoiling her is easy! Freeflys in Facebook offer updates everyday about free samples you can get in your mail.



Moving now unto food, Natural Balance is my first choice of  food I buy at Petco. I prefer to get the package with the grain free logo because I love that it helps the skin of my pup stay healthy since she is allergic to wheat and also gives her a great nutrition. They are a few other flavors with the grain free logo that come in small or large breed bites. 






Toys may be money consuming because almost all toys I get for my dog are destroyed  in a couple of hours. All for the love and entertainment!



Got this at Dollar Store and only used these to clean her paws of any dirt and grass. My pup loves to sleep with me so having these instead of giving her a bath every time I take her out is faster and convenient.  



This cute dog body harness by SimpleDog was only 9.97 at Walmart. This is by far better than putting a collar around her neck because it makes me control her whole body. 



I love the package of this Viva La Dog Spa shampoo. I used to have the Oster Oatmeal Naturals but switching to this bottle was better. It has a tropical fusion scent, oatmeal & aloe Vera that soothes red, itchy skin, and sweet almond oil that helps moisturize skin. This bottle is also 100% biodegradable.
