Planet Beach Brickell

February 22, 2016November 6, 2013

I met up with the Bloggin’ Mamasthis week to check out the Planet Beach Brickell. We were given one month free passes to try the place out in compensation for writing about our experience. Before the event, I was apprehensive about attending because I thought it was going to be a tanning place and I am so done with tanning beds. I was happy to find out that no tanning occurs at this Planet Beach in Brickell. They are all about repair and wellness. My kinda place! They do have spray tan and I am all for that! Expect me to be tan at some point in my next few posts because I am definitely trying out the spray tan. Time to start looking like a Floridian! Maybe being tan will motivate me to work out. What is the Jersey Shoe moto? Gym-Tan-Laundry? I have never seen the show, but I have heard it around town. Planet Beach Contempo Spa’s moto is Relax, Glow and Renew! Sounds like all the things I need to do right now. So far, I tried out the Hydro massager and the Luminous Facial with the blue light.

Christmas Gift Ideas: Celebrity Perfume

My sister, Bobbie is now officially in her mid-twenties. She is a recent FSU graduate who is working full-time and going to school at night to get a post-graduate degree. She recently had a birthday, and I was having trouble deciding what to get for her. I usually buy her “stuff.” She would always say that she wanted stuff for her birthday or Christmas. Now, that she is getting a little older, she is starting to like and need things that I like. I recently got the Justin Bieber Someday celebrity perfume and loved the smell and the bottle. I thought she might like it, as well. I found a gift set for the Someday celebrity perfume. It has perfume scented lotion and body wash as well as the perfume itself. At $19.88, it was a great addition to the other items that I purchased for my sister. I also bought her 2 pairs of capris and a top that can be worn from work to happy hour. As a working woman, these types of pieces are invaluable. Now, she smells good and looks good all day. Happy Birthday Bobbie!

MANIcure MonDAY: Prestige Wonder Gloss Majesty

Product was provided for review purposes. All opinions are 100% my own.

Happy Manicure Monday! This week I tried out the Prestige Wonder Gloss in Majesty. The polish is Super Glossy with Multi Vitamins. The Majesty Color provides maximum coverage and durability. The nail polish is resistant to shock and it strengthens nails. The color is a rich blue that is between navy and midnight. The polish is perfectly on trend as it reminded me of Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2013 collection. Leave the LBD behind this year along with black nail polish and try a little blue dress and navy polish. It is classic and refined. Navy looks great on most skin tones.

There is no way that I am missing this event next year! I took some pics of the awesome attendees that just were oozing fabulousness!

MANIcure MonDAY: Trophy Wife & DJ Play that Song by Essie

February 22, 2016October 21, 2013

Last week, I wore DJ Play that Song by Essie. As the week went on the tips of my nails began to chip. That is when I pulled out Trophy Wife by Essie. Instead of taking off DJ Play that Song, I painted the tips of my nails with Trophy Wife creating a modern French Manicure. This is not my first modern manicure. I have put together some awesome pairs like my mermaid French manicure.

Celebrity Perfume Shopping

Shopping for perfume is so much fun especially when you can find great deals on celebrity perfumes like Someday by Justin Beiber. Walmart has an amazing selection of celebrity perfumes and colognes that you would normally find at department stores at higher prices. Celebrity perfumes are offered at Walmart’s Every Day Low Prices. I was able to try out the smell with a scratch and sniff sticker on the box. Of course, this was not my first time smell the perfume. I fell in love with the scent over a year ago, but did not want to spend the money that department stores were charging for it. I found it for nearly 40% off the price that is being charged at department stores. Love the savings!

MANIcure MonDAY: Boom Boom Room by Essie

February 22, 2016October 14, 2013

This week for Manicure Monday, I am wearing Boom Boom Room from Essie. I discovered this color at the nail salon a few day before giving birth to Cami. I got both my toes and nails done with the color. It was so nice to have my nails done so girly for when my little girl came out! Also, the name of the color is so silly and awesome! LOVE IT!!

ZPro Salon & Spa Review: Boca Raton, Florida

Services provided by ZPro Salon & Spa for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own.

Zpro is an ultra modern hair and nail salon in the Fountain Plaza (7600 West Camino Real, Boca Raton, FL 33433) next to Asia and The Butcher’s Block. Everything in the salon is ultra modern with the primary colors being white, chrome, and purple. Everyone at the Salon is super nice. I couldn’t get a babysitter that day and everyone chipped in to help so I could get hair and nails done. Tammy Wayne did my nails. I picked Little Brown Dress from Essie for both my hands and toes. I like that there are 2 locations to get manicures. 2 tables are the first floor and 2 other tables on the second. With the 2 areas for nails, and you can choose your experience. The upstairs nail section is a spa experience, and the downstairs is more of a hair salon experience. You get to pick!

February 22, 2016October 7, 2013

Anushka Salon & Spa is the first spa that I have visited in a while that impressed the pants off me.

Anushka listened to my concerns and gave me a game plan to deal with my struggle with being a new mom and a fashion blogger that needs to look good for photo shoots like the one I am doing for Fashion for a Cause and Bloomingdale’s this week.

MANIcure MonDAY: Burberry Runway Inspired Nails

February 22, 2016September 30, 2013

Burberry’s Fall 2013 runway was one of my favorite runways this year. The heart print tops, dress, bags, and shoes make me want to wear heart print all the time. I have not found any heart print outfits that work on me yet, but I am definitely on the hunt. I put a collage together for you below that shows some of the heart print items that are available in stores. As I try them on, I will let you know how they look and also show you pictures. If you find any cool heart print items, please let me know. In the meantime, try these Burberry Runway Inspired Nails.

MANIcure MonDAY! Nuance Salma Hayek Red

February 22, 2016September 23, 2013

Fall is around the corner and I am loving this Rococo Red nail polish from Nuance Salma Hayek. The color reminds me of the amazing red lips that were all over the runway this fall. Nuance Salma Hayek is only sold at CVS stores. The pictures with yellow background is where I painted 2 coats. The color of the polish is much deeper than the bottle. With one coat the color is lighter than in the bottle. Great price at $5.99 per bottle. I like both color so I cannot complain!

Manicure Monday: Tweed Nails

February 22, 2016September 9, 2013

I found Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Nail Polish at the drug store the other day. Sally Hansen says Fuzzy Nails and I say Tweed Nails! There are many colors of including a few different blue and greens. I chose the black and white Fuzzy Coat called Tweed because it reminded me of Chanel’s Tweed Suit. I put on 2 coats and topped off the edge. I had to paint my hand a little to get into the corner, but that might be because I can’t see very well. It worked out fine as about an hour later, I washed my hands and picked that part off my skin.

Manicure Monday: Mermaid’s Dream

February 22, 2016September 2, 2013

I am obviously on a mermaid kick! Check out last weeks, MANIcure MonDAY post! I might be just excited to watch the little mermaid will my daughter, Cami. I would love if I could find an awesome mermaid costume for her first Halloween. It will be here before you know it! Until then, I am going to continue wearing my Mermaid’s Dream Nail Polish by Deborah Lippmann. Today, I layered it over a cream colored chalky nail polish called Mod in Manhattan by Color Club. I received it in my Birch Box a few months ago.

MANIcure MonDAY: Mermaid Manicure

February 22, 2016August 26, 2013

I decided to institute Manicure Mondays in a effort to keep my nails looking presentable now that I am a mommy. This way my followers will keep me accountable! I started using this cuticle dissolving lotion by Blue Cross. It makes it really easy to do my own nails because I don’t have to cut my cuticles. In the past, I have always gone a little overboard on cutting down my cuticles in that I end up cutting myself. This way I can leave the cuticle cutter alone and focus on just polishing my nails. Today, I painted my nails with Mojito Madness by Essie and Whimsical by Revlon. The color that comes from layering the milky blue from Whimsical over Mojito Madness looks very similar to Mermaid Tears by OPI that I wore here and here.
