Fragrance of the Month - April 2013

Avon's brand new fragrance Flor Violeta is April's fragrance of the month.  We are giving free samples of the scent composed of sparkling green apple infused with a beautiful bouquet of violet blossoms and soft musk all month long.

 
While the fragrance doesn't hit the market until April 1st, if you love your sample you can pre-order Flor Violeta now.  Be a spring trendsetter!

Avon Nail Studio: Leopard Print Nails




While I'm not in love with the results in the video, the concept of leopard print nails is a good one. Since the video was made, a wonderful tool called the Dual Nail Dotting Tool has come into the market. With this tool and at least two Nailwear Pro+ nail enamels, currently only $6.99 for a pair, you can have better results than the video. 

Another option is to volunteer to be a manicure model for ECV.  We are currently seeking a model for a look inspired by one of the photos in our "Artistic Inspiration" album. Click or call to schedule your free manicure now and receive a free nail art enamel as an additional token of our thanks.

My Experience on Dr. Oz's 3-Day Detox Cleanse

Last week I did Dr. Oz's 3-Day Detox Cleanse. As stated on the show, the food cost was less than $16 a day. If you know me off the web, you know I did the math ;) The link to the list of foods is below.


The breakfast drink was delicious and went down well. Surprisingly, hunger was not an issue even when lunchtime came and you're supposed to drink the green monster below. Perhaps it's easier to swallow if you use a juicer versus a blender, but there still seems to be something inherently wrong with trying to drink 4 stalks of celery. Not until the third day of the detox was I hungry enough at lunch to force down a good amount of this drink.



Lunch drink
The dinner drink was delicious and had a kick to it with the cayenne pepper that's in the recipe. On the doctoroz.com site some people didn't like this drink. I truly cannot understand how you can choke down the lunch drink and not tolerate a drink that is mostly blueberry-flavored. Maybe it's a blueberry bias.

Dinner Drink

In closing, I felt great after doing this three day detox. Can't say if I lost any weight as did the participants on the show (because I don't own a scale) but my mood did improve. Another surprise was that I did not miss eating meat at all during those three days. So give this a try if you're doing No Meat March and then tell us what you think of it in the comments.

My New Favorite Thing

So living in Florida, or the South for that matter, is hard on my makeup. I know some people who swear by MAC but truth be told, not everyone including this chick has MAC money. So I've been using primer to see if that helps. It does to a certain degree but I still wanted more staying power.

This brings us to my new favorite thing...drum roll please....

Victoria's Secret Make It Last Prime & Set Makeup Spray
