What can I do to prevent razor burn?
I get razor burn really bad around my bikini area, so I started waxing instead of shaving and that has helped a ton! I love Bliss' Poetic At-Home Hair Removal Kit. It's a hard wax that you just pop in the microwave or on the stovetop and you're good to go. You can check it out here. And its actually on sale right now for $24! That's half off.. So stock up! I also use Bliss' Ingrown Eliminating Pads, here, also half off! If you're not down with waxing, then I suggest shaving with coconut oil!
What are some good face masks for acne?
I am obsessed with Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. I mix it with apple cider vinegar.. I've actually gotten all of my coworkers hooked on it also! Check out my blog post on it here.
I want eyelash extensions, but I'm scared it will make my real lashes fall out. What do you think?
I got eyelash extensions for the first time almost exactly one year ago because I was going to Hawaii and didn't want to worry about makeup.. and I've had them ever since! Beware. They are addicting!
Before I took the eyelash extension plunge, I used Latisse which I loved.
I haven't had any problems with my real lashes falling out and not coming back.. of course your real lashes will fall out no matter what, but they shouldn't more than they normally would. Make sure you do your research. Ask friends for a referral and I love looking at Yelp reviews. Also, make sure they have taken the correct certifications for lash extension application.
Why do you do cupping all the time?
I LOVE cupping. I probably do it once a week.. I have horrible back pain, and cupping helps tremendously. I'm actually working on a whole post about cupping now..
Cupping is like getting a reverse massage. Instead of pushing the toxins out of your skin like a regular massage does, it pulls the toxins out using suction. Hence the round cupping marks you see afterward. I totally recommend it!
I want to get Botox but I'm scared. Any tips?
Well.. I have a confession. I'm a Botox junkie! I've been getting Botox for about five years now, and I don't plan on ever stopping. Its nice because the longer you do it, the less you have to get it. It's totally preventative so start before you see any big wrinkles. I get my whole forehead, and I just started getting it around my crows feet.
I'm pretty good with pain, so I don't think it hurts at all.. just a little prick. But, if you're a little apprehensive they have numbing creams they can apply, and also ice packs to help numb the area.
Make sure whoever you go to knows what they are doing.. I wouldn't recommend going to someone in a salon or an at home Botox party. Not worth the risk! Stick to physicians and nurses.
If you want a referral for someone in Southern Oregon, I love love love my girl, she is seriously THE BEST. Email me and I will pass along her info.
