As readers began fulfilling their 2012 beauty resolutions, odds are, they were thinking about their hair. As over styling, crash dieting and stress lead to hair thinning and loss, more and more young women are becoming frustrated and distressed about their dull, limp and, potentially, diminishing tresses.

In 2012, your readers can reclaim their vibrant locks with Viviscal all-natural supplements. The beauty secret of celebrities and models like Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Stam and Karlie Kloss, Viviscal supplements are proven to strengthen existing hair and promote growth. Viviscal will also be featured on the Dr. Oz Show today, with celebrity hair stylist Tabatha Coffey.

The tablets contain the exclusive AminoMarC complex, which is composed of fish proteins that increase the body’s natural production of keratin. Viviscal works in four stages over a period of four to six months, with many consumers seeing results in as early as three months.

Suzanne Rae presented her Fall/Winter 2012 collection. It’s inspired by the internal revolution channeling the spirits of Jim Morrison, Aldous Huxley, and William Blake. Poetic and rock-n-roll, the collection is fueled by a quest for knowledge and heightened consciousness.  Marcel Dagenais keyed the hair.  He wanted continuity and so he gave all of the girls the same texture and style for a look that was classic with a contemporary texture.

HAIR HOW-TO:

Step 1 – Spray the Davines VOLU Mist at the roots of the hair and blow dry it straight out with a flat Denman Brush.

Step 2 – Wrap a 2” subsection of the hair around the hairline around jumbo sized hair pins to create a frizzy dry texture.

Step 3 – Spray Davines For Wizards No. 9 Structuring Mist on the hair and then set with a flat iron.

Step 4 – Brush the hair and put all of it into a low, messy bun.

Step 5 – Spray Davines For Wizards No. 7 Crystal Fixative Lacquer for hold.

Well after years of home cooked meals made with love, hubby has graduated into the big and tall clothing. To my surprise, mass retailers do not have a large selection of big and tall clothes. Especially when it comes to uniforms for work. That put me in search of a online store that has the sizes we need and a selection as well. My husband is a jeans and shorts guy nothing fancy. I was beyond surprised when I found G&L clothing, not only did they have a great selection of jeans and shorts, they also had footwear and work clothes, hubby is a mechanic! So the coveralls, jackets and raingear were a surpise. They even carry the work boots he needs, he has a very wide foot. At G&L clothing we have found a one stop shopping experience. And considering we both prefer not to shop an online store is perfect for us. 

They carry all the popular brands, like Carhartt, Wrangler, Dickies, Levi, Timberland and many more. Even better is that it is not just big and tall sizes. They have a women and kids line too. I love carhartt tees. So comfy and durable.

Does your work require personalization on your uniforms, Commercial uniform service also offers personalized garments with embroidery or screen printing available.

With free shipping over $100 and a 1-2-3 free return policy G&L Clothing is the place to shop for all your personal and work attire.

As many know I wasn't able to make it to Chicago for the Kenmore summit. :( I was beyond disappointed. My flight was cancelled due to snow in Chicago which was also heading towards Detroit Metro Airport. The really upsetting thing about the whole ordeal is that both Chicago and Detroit have been having unusually mellow and warm winter. This snow storm which dropped only about 7 inches of snow was the first "storm" of the season. And yes I realize 7 inches sounds like alot, but to me is not much at all.  Luckily I met a fellow blogger at the airport, we were on the same flight. Hope from A Busy Mom's Slow Cooker Adventures! So we were able to be frustrated together. She ended up being the luckier of the 2 of us. We both were re-booked on a morning flight, She checked in and got a seat, when I went to check in the flight was full and I was told I would be on standby. Sorry, I was not going to spend another day at the airport! I regrettably called my Kenmore contact and apologized I wouldn't be able to make it. The rep understood completely, the poor thing was fielding calls ALL day from stranded bloggers. I was not the only one who missed it.

I still had a great adventure and Kenmore sent me the press kit from the event. Below you will find some great information about Kenmore and their products.  They even sent me an item from my small appliance wish list. Yep I received a new Kenmore Elite Blender!!!

The best part is they also gave me a coupon for 30% off a Kenmore small appliance to share with everyone!!!! Here's the link to the coupon, Enjoy! 

I was recently asked to try out 2 supplements. The first is Oligonol, is say it will increase blood flow,reduce fatigue, body fat (WOO HOO) and slow wrinkles! Well I can tell you that I have had ore energy and lost 4 lbs since taking this. which makes sense, I have more blood flow more energy which has made me more active all that equals weight loss.

The other supplement is Active hexose correlated compound.   AHCC is a immune system supplement, which I was just telling my husband the other day that I hadn't had a cold or stuffy nose since before Christmas. Typically I get sick around Halloween and continue not feeling well for months, March or so. 

So overall I would say these 2 supplements are very beneficial to your overall health!
