Oxygen Skin Therapy

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

I couldn’t wait for last week to pass! It turned out to be one of those unexpected, very eventful yet stressful weeks. From flat tires to meeting appointments, and children school activities not a moments rest for a work-at-home mom. If you can relate then you know that you’d be looking forward to Friday. That’s because I was scheduled to get an Oxiana facial. Not knowing exactly what it was all about was more exciting, all I knew was that I was going to get some needed ‘me’ and relaxation time. So I arrived at the Absolute Wellness Center, where the facial began with a cleansing from my forehead to shoulders, warm towels applied, then creams with fruit extracts and minerals applied in massaging motion, warm towels again. Once the skin pores are open, oxygen infused with vitanomes was airbrushed onto my face continuously for about 15 minutes with the purpose of detoxifying the skin. I left with a glossy mask, recommended that you leave on for 1-2 hours in order to achieve the best results which would be reduction of fine lines, tightening, as well as skin marks from sun damage or hyper pigmentation. The Oxiana facial is especially useful for sun worshipers like those here in Florida. Thanks to the skilled aesthetician Shantell, I was able to say my week did have a very nice ending…

Here’s 2 photos of me after the facial and a few days later:

Hats of Westminster Abbey

Thursday, May 5th, 2011
On this past Historic Friday 4/29/11 at William and Catherine’s Royal Wedding, attendees like Victoria Beckham made headlines, not only due to their celeb status but their choice of outfits. Most notable, were ‘The Hats’. It seems customary of the people of London to wear hats to special occasions; But could this idea be slowly creeping into U.S. fashions?

I believe it could be.  Tampa, Fl has a local hat designer too, Neva Durham of Diva’s Joy adds some of that UK spice to styles everywhere.

While Victoria’s hat was pretty chic, her overall look was a bit gloomy for the occasion.

Beatrice, Princess of York over does it with the tallest bow hat along with a trench style dress that washes out her complexion.

Don’t try the above at home, instead wear these styles created by Neva which have been spotted on models at the new St Pete Dali Museum Grand Opening as well as on the Tampa Bay Fashion Week runway in 2010.

Wear a hat to a bridal shower, baby shower, with your Sunday best or just be a trendsetter by topping off your 40s inspired frock.  Although you may draw some attention, it will be the right kind.
