One cannot separate women from nail polish. It has almost become a way of life for women to wear nail polish to enhance their attractiveness quotient. When it comes to a quality manicure, nothing can be better than SNS Dip Powder color because of various reasons. In this blog, we shall see the benefits of applying dip powder as compared to gel polish.

Why do you need a dip powder job?

If you go through your Instagram feed, you might invariably see some beautiful women showing off their dip powder nail manicure. It is because dip powder ensures a better job than conventional gel polish. The answers to the following questions should drive home the importance of having a dip powder job.

• Did you have a nail manicure recently only to find your nails chipping off quickly?
• Have you experienced the chipping away of nail polish immediately on applying the same?
• Have your nails become softer with continuous application of gel polish?
• Do you worry about UV exposure when drying your nails?

If the response to each of the four questions is a resounding YES, you should immediately switch over to dip powder. Continue reading

We’re all aging from the moment that we are born.

But the ravages of time may only start to bother us in our forties.

That’s when mature skin begins to sag and form wrinkles in earnest.

If you’re interested in maintaining as youthful an appearance as possible, keep reading.

I’m going to reveal how to rejuvenate mature skin with essential oils.

Protect Your Skin

Before I begin, there’s something I need to tell you.

You must dilute these oils before you apply them to your skin.

Although you’re unlikely to have an allergic reaction right away if you don’t, you could become sensitized to the oils. Then you would no longer be able to use them.

As I’m sure you don’t want to deal with unpleasant consequences, I’ll trust that you’ll dilute the oils. Diluting won’t weaken their effects.

The easiest formula to remember is for every two or three drops of essential oil, use 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil.

Carrier oils are also made from plants.  For mature skin, use evening primrose, grapeseed, rosehip, or jojoba oil.

Essential Oils That Revive Aging Skin

Now, let’s talk about the best essential oils for aging skin.

First, there’s frankincense. It’s one of my favorite healing oils.

Frankincense reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It firms the skin and shrinks scars and stretch marks. Continue reading

Valentine’s Day is a one day event that women look forward to every year. The hair, the dress, the makeup and most importantly, the nails needs to be perfect for this special event. But not all women have the time needed to prepare so we took the liberty to create a list of nail ideas that you can wear not just on Valentine’s day but any time of the year.

1. Floral Pattern on Powder Blue Nails

This nail art is perfect not only for Heart’s Day but also for baptismal or simply attending the Sunday church. The pastel blue base coat will go well on any dress and the white 3D floral pattern compliments the look beautifully. The good thing about this look is that LDS D85 Be-You-Tiful Blue has a very light shade of blue so it’s not too loud on the nails yet it is very trendy. Use the white polish of your choice to create the floral pattern.

One of the most known fungal infections is the ringworms. Fungal infection can affect different parts of the body leading to the emergence of ringworms of the body, ringworms of the foot, ringworms of the scalp, ringworms of the hand, ringworms of the groin, ringworms of the face, ringworms of the beard, and ringworms of the nails. All these types of ringworms can be treated using an antifungal for ringworms. The antifungal can be in form of soap, cream or even shampoo all which are made specifically to neutralize the ringworms threat.

The different types of ringworms are named according to the arts they affect. Ringworms of the body tend to affect the whole skin and the infected part has some sharply defined edges. Those of the foot affect the areas between the fingers while ringworms of the scalp leading to bald dry patches on the head. Ringworms of the hand mostly affect the spaces between the fingers and the palm, those of the face occur on the other parts of the face apart from the areas where beards grow, those of the beard affect areas where the beards grow while ringworms of the nails affect the nails making the brittle, opaque, thick or yellow.  With the existence of such types of ringworms, dermatologists have come up with several antifungal cream for ringworm.

If you’re like me, wintertime means cracked, dry skin and an itchy body. That is, of course, if we don’t take the time to solve the problem. And sometimes it’s not just time, but it’s also the budget.

To get what I need, I search online for the best deals. I find reviews that can help me make a smart decision about the products I need.

For example, I figured out how to keep my skin moisturized for less than five dollars a month. I’m not using dollar store lotions, either.

First, I looked for the best body washes for dry skin. Many of these shower soaps don’t have the harsh sulfates that strip away natural oil. Even though they lather away grime, they hydrate to relieve itchiness. Then, my family members who don’t like applying moisturizer still walk away with soft skin from their bath.

Next, I found the best body moisturizers for dry skin. These lotions are packed with humectants and emollients plus soothing ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide. That may sound like chemistry textbook language, and it is. Simply put, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to make your skin healthier.

Thanks for opening this page. If you are already in direct sales and are looking for a change or if you have never been in direct sales and are curious, I can help!

Votre Vu offers a first class direct sales business opportunity you can conduct from the comfort of your home.

If you’d like to learn about Votre Vu and why I got involved, below is my  interview from The Work at Home Woman.

Tell us a little bit about Votre Vu and how you got started.

Votre Vu uses a family-owned, custom-blending, award winning skincare lab in France that’s been making luxury skincare for over 80 years and has access to the best ingredients from around the world.  Our products are hand blended by master formulators and crafted by doctors, scientists, chemists and pharmacists.  We offer luxurious, affordable  and effective high quality skin care at reasonable prices.

I got involved with the company pre-launch.  At the time I repped another line and was not satisfied with the results, so I guess you can say my ears were open to hearing what someone else had to say.  After spending hours and hours researching, I decided to make a change and have been full steam ahead over the past 18 months.

What did you do before joining Votre Vu ?

Before selling skin care, I ran a home based faux painting business with a friend.  I loved the work but it was hard and I ended up with a neck injury.  Before that I was a stay at home mom (still love that job) and before that I was a manufacture’s rep for a major floor covering company.

How many hours do you work a week and how much is spent is your home office?

Good questions since it is spread out over the day. 25 – 30 hours a week with about 60% of that being in my office – on the phone or on the computer. Looks like I need to get out more.

How did you fund your business?

We have low entry costs so it only took about $300 to get up and running.  My first faux painting class cost me $1200 and that didn’t even include a paint brush.

How would you rate your success from 0 – 10?

I gauge success based on the fact I’m still in the game. The first year of a new business is always the toughest since people haven’t heard of you yet.  Here’s a big hand to all direct sellers who stay with a new company.  It’s a jungle out there!  LOL

I am one of about 16 Star Directors in the company.  We have about 2000 Brand Ambassadors located throughout the US so I’m happy with my results.

How do you manage all of your personal and business activities?

Some days better than others.  I’ve given up cooking and cleaning so that gives me a lot of extra time.  LOL.  All kidding aside, I just get up early and sometime work late so I can devote the time I need to my family.  I have teens and a husband who travels so that helps too.  I think of the time someone has to put in who runs a restaurant or a catering business or any other endeavor that keeps them away on weekends/evenings and I know my time commitment pales in comparison.

What has been your biggest business struggle?

Finding others who want the same success that I do.  Many say they want to be entrepreneurs but owning your own business takes a lot more commitment that many realize.  Perhaps it’s because the cost of entry is so low that if they decide to quit, it’s not a big deal.  I have adopted a philosophy that was shared with me called “bless and release” and it allows me to realize I am not in control of what others do or don’t do.  I can only control what I can control and for everything else, I just need to take a deep breath.

What advice would you give to a new direct sales consultant?

Make sure you can your sponsor are a good fit.  If you are really looking to build a business, make sure your sponsor is active and committed.

• Give it time.  Rome wasn’t built in a day.
• Expect more no’s than yes’s.
• Treat your business as a brick and mortar store and learn to promote it.
• Network. Be proud of your choice to take control of your future.
• Speak with conviction.
• Be a product of the products.  Use whatever it is you are selling.
• Be of service to others.  Learn how you can help them grow their business and in return your business will grow.
• People buy from those they know, like and trust.  Just think who you like to do business with and be that person.  Competition is everywhere and you have to figure out how to be the chosen one.
• Have fun  – after all this isn’t brain surgery.
