DIAMOND AND OXYGEN FACIAL – MINDI WALTERS – (IN YOUR HOME TOO!)

March 17, 2010

Not only are MINDI WALTER'S facials the real deal, but she will also do them in your home!! Mindi is one smart cookie. She's young and has literally ONLY been doing skin since, basically, out of high-school, so let's just say, she's obsessed with skin. As am I, of course! She moved out to L.A. and immediately started working for Sonya Dakkar where she cut her teeth on a bevvy of celeb clients, building up her rep and eventually branching out on her own. Her biz is now thriving. She specializes in having perfected the Diamond and Oxygen Facials. She even creates her own serums of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants for the Oxygen machine which get infused into your skin and leaves things looking and feeling fricken radiant and revitalized. She's also a master of extraction (my all time fave and major pet peeve when aestheticians are slackin' in this dept) so that part made me super happy. She just opened up an adorable little studio called MIRROR MIRROR with eyebrow expert TONYA CROOKS.

On Saturday's she and Tonya are doing "Mimosa Saturdays" – totally cute, you get a Mimosa while you get worked on. Fun!

Her celeb clients include the gorg Megan Fox, Chelsea Handler, Brian Austin Green and so on…

And here's the deal. Her prices for in-studio are amazing!!

A BASIC FACIAL IS $80.00

DIAMOND OR OXYGEN FACIAL STILL ONLY $150

THE WHOLE THING FOR $180.

This is a fricken STEAL!

And how cool that she will bring her equip and come to YOU! Yes, it gets pricey this way, but if for some reason you are in the market for it, how cool is that??

Mindi has been perfecting her customers' skin for nearly 7 years. After attending the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, she began working at spas around the city. She soon realized that a majority of these spas concentrated on the “fluffy” stuff, and weren’t interested in producingresults for their clients like she was. Mindi moved to Los Angeles 4 years ago and has had the privilege to work in high end Med Spas with advanced training by some of the biggest names in the business.

Noticing that most of her clients in Los Angeles have very busy schedules and tight time frames, they always expressed to her how they don’t have time to come into a clinic to get treatments. They were not treating their skin like the priority it should be. This is when Mindi started making her clients' lives a little easier by traveling to them. Each client is able to relax in their own environment and not have to sit in hours of LA traffic. After deciding to branch out on her own and investing in the best equipment and products, her clients consist ofChelsea Handler, Megan Fox, Chantal Keviazuk, Brian Austin Green and many more. Mindi believes that no matter what level your skin is at or who you are, every client can and will benefit from her services.

MY CLARIOSIC IS HERE, MY CLARISONIC IS HERE!

March 16, 2010

I've been wishing and wanting and waiting for this beauty to come into my life ever since TERRI LAWTON, facialist goddess used it on me during a treatment many months ago. So when I finally came around to choosing one, there were a few different exciting choices that had been developed since I last checked. It was hard to choose but I went for the CLARISONIC PLUS SKIN CLEANSING SYSTEM. This one has new power settings, 3 speeds for better absorption, a body brush so it shifts to spot mode for elbows, hands, arms, knees, decollete. There is also a customizable T – Timer that notifies you when to switch from cheeks, to forehead, to nose, etc…

And…it's heaven. I always hated how hard I had to scrub to get off the ultra-rich sunblock we have to wear here in L.A., that and my foundation…and the little sparkly blushes and highlighters I love to wear…well, let's just say, after I'd go to town with a wash cloth or face scrub, my face was always scrubbed raw by the time I felt I had cleaned it all off. That's why I could not wait to have my own Clarisonic for gentle yet totally thorough cleansing.

Here's the deal, the Clarisonic Sonic Cleansing and Sonic Infusion was developed by the the primary inventor of the Sonicare toothbrush, so it has that same technology for sonic cleansing and infusion, except for your face! Are you diggin me? Yah, thought so! The system works to cleanse, smooth and refresh the appearance of your skin with (And I can attest to this!!) IMMEDIATELY NOTICEABLE RESULTS. While it's totally gentle for all skin types, the effectiveness is above and beyond manual skin cleansing. And I can tell you after only having mine for a few days, this is totally true. I'm not one of those ooh, lookie, I used it once and I look totally different, wahoo! types…But I can really feel the difference on my face after I cleanse with it – pure and simple. There's no magic trick here, it's just a new technology for one of the oldest processes in the book, cleaning your face. I am loving the cleansers that come with the Plus model too. But any of your favorite cleansers will do.

Meanwhile, they just came out with an New product I am also smitten with (from afar that is), the CLARISONIC OPAL SONIC INFUSION SYSTEM WITH ANTI-AGING SERUM - here the sonic action infuses this serum into the skin, only one minute a day, to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while it brightens, hydrates, refreshes, energizes and firms up the skin…Def putting this on my Clarisonic wish list… and hey, my birthday is coming up next week 😉 If I get my wish, I letcha' know!

KIMBERLEE CHALMERS – Personal stylist, fashion consultant, closet revitalizer!

March 14, 2010

And let me tell you, that last part CLOSET REVITALIZER, well, I made the term up, but when KIMBERLEE CHALMERS got into my drawers and closet, my life changed in a matter of hours.

I've been dying for someone to get into my lack-luster, low meets low wardrobe – frayed Forever 21 say hello to Urban Outfitters - pick it to shreds and throw everything away. Obviously I don't have the emotional strength to part with the tattered t-shirts that I've been holding on to for no good reason for way too long but guess who had no prob making three giant give-a-way bags? Kim!

I fell in love with Kim's style before I even met her just from taking a peek at her website. Her overall aesthetic is cool, hip and unstudied. Being that I'm preggo, what was most important for me was to start dumping old crap and making room for a whole new wardrobe I plan to get once this baby comes out and I am done having kids – fer reals. I wasn't so worried about my preggo look (this didn't stop her from making a fabulous look book of preggo and post-preggo looks for me, something she offers her clients) but more concerned about the disaster that is the my closet and over-stuffed drawers. They're not just busting at the seams because they're Ikea.

First off, it didn't take hours. I think it took 40 minutes. We blew through my clothes in no time, got rid of the crap and I was left with a ton of great looks that she showed me how to maximize and accessorize and turn into a multitude of looks that I had never even thought about.

Kim will also go nuts on your closet, as in re-doing the hangers for maximum functionality, coordinate everything by style, color, season and arrange looks for you so you can get the most out of your wardrobe. Fashion and function. She will also shop for you, re-gig your style, revamp your look, and create the most awesome look book for you. She means biz and here's the clincher, she only costs….drum roll…$45 PER HOUR!! Kim is such a total steal, and this rate it's so low priced, I'm scared she's gonna get overbooked and have to raise her prices!!

She really is the shit. She's super sweet, searingly smart at what she does and has a wicked eye.

Here is some of the fashion styling she's done and then you can take a look at the look books she created for me.

Her service is invaluable if you are in the market for a Spring cleaning. I cannot recommend her more!

I'm having her back asap to put even more of the Kimberlee touch on my closets. YAY!
