Jewelry Storage Ideas and Collection

Hey Guys!

I hope you’ve all been having a good weekend or “had” a good weekend depending on when you are reading this.  I got a jewelry Armoir for Christmas, as well as some other jewelry storage from Michael’s craft store. I absolutely LOVE jewelry and have a hard time letting go  of pieces even if it’s something I don’t wear anymore. It’s fun to collect, especially when a piece comes from someone special.

Here’s my latest video showing you a few of the organizational pieces I recently received to store  my collection.  Hope you enjoy.

 

Please make sure you subscribe to my youtube channel if you haven’t done so already! See you all in my next video and blog post.

Love,

Lauren

I am going to share some more products tonight with you guys that I have been using a lot of over the past month. These items would make great gifts or stocking stuffers.

Fragrance and Skincare Gifts for Guys…Continued

I’d like to continue telling you guys about some fragrances for Men today that have been both approved by my husband and I.  If you’re looking for a fragrance for your guy for Christmas, one of these might just be a good choice!

James Bond 007. $30-40  With the new release of the movie Skyfall, this fragrance is sure to get your attention if you like James Bond Movies. The bottle is very cool, black and jagged. It smells very rich and musky, but in a good way. It almost reminds me of the classic Abercrombie and Fitch smell.

Hugo Boss Sport. $67  This fragrance is very fresh and citrus like. It has notes of grapefruit, yuzu zest and pink peppercorn to help increase the mind and body’s reflexes. It also contains lavender and cardamom. It definitely smells rich and manly but also citrus like and fresh at the same time. The bottle is pretty classic looking, very sturdy.

Guess Seduction. $65 3.4 oz This scent is described as a sophisticated scent for the modern man.  Notes of citrus caviar, blue coral aquaspace, cardamom and black pepper. The bottle is very sturdy and masculine looking.

Holiday Treats and Goodies from LUSH!

Hi Everyone!

Check out this picture I took from some of the snowfall we got in Minnesota yesterday. Our nieces and nephews came over to go sledding in the backyard because we got so much snow. It has made me have ultimate Christmas and winter fever…and it reminds me why I LOVE this time of year so much; it is beautiful.

. 

Now, for my 10th gift recommendation for the Holidays- LUSH. If you have never been to Lush, or tried any of their products, you definitely need to check them out. They make handmade goodies for bath and body, that are simple yet amazing. They are always made fresh and have expiration dates on them so you know how long you  have to use them. Here are some amazing holiday best selling gift ideas.

 

Handmade Holiday Soaps  in Angel Delight  that smells like tangerine and orange and Snow Globe that smells like grapefruit.

Sugar Lip Scrubs in popcorn. This holiday popcorn lip scrub sounds crazy, but is absolutely amazing. It is salty and sweet.

 

Shower Gel in the scent Ponche which is a refreshing fruit punch/tequila scent or Snow Fairy which is a sweet cotton candy fragrance.

Or, you can pick one of the many gift sets from LUSH and get a variety of bath bombs, soaps, and other holiday goodies. 

 

I LOVE LUSH because they are always coming out with clever new products, it’s fun to see constant change and variety. For more, check out the LUSH website.

Thymes Frasier Fir and Holiday Scents for Holiday 2012

Hey Guys,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is always the time that it really starts to feel like the Holidays. We put up the Christmas tree, decorate the house, start seeing Christmas lights on houses, and now we even have snow.  One of my favorite scents around this time of year is that “christmas tree” smell. I always grew up with an artificial tree, so when I discovered that THYMES had a scent called “frasier fir” it was very exciting.

I have a candle, and bar soap that smell just like a Christmas tree. Frasier Fir is by far my favorite scent that Thymes creates. Thymes has all sorts of amazing home scented decor like soaps, lotions, candles, fragrance diffuser, cleaner, home fragrance mist and more. They are locally based in Minneapolis too, which makes me love them even more.

Another delicious scent that is limited time for holidays is Filigree. It includes notes of:   amber, juniper berry, cedarwood, neroli, spearment and lavender. Thymes gives FREE shipping on all orders over $50. They make great gifts because the packaging is beautiful and there is such a variety in scents.

 

Talk to you all soon with many more gift ideas all throughout the month of December leading up to Christmas!

Love,

Lauren

Krista’s Eyelash Extension Story/ Before and After Photos

Hey Everyone!

Here is my client Krista’s eyelash story. There a huge lesson to this one so I wanted to share it with all of you!

This is a perfect example of why NOT to go get your lash extensions done if they only cost $25. Always ask plenty of questions, and ask to see before and after photos of the eyelash extension specialist’s work before you get them done. You need to know what you are getting into, because all eyelash products out there are not the same. Here is Krista’s testimonial:

“My eyelashes are thin and straight so I decided to have fake eyelashes put on at a nail salon. They were a disaster; not only were they clumpy and fake looking, but they hurt my eyes. When I tried to remove them, it was almost impossible and pulled my real eyelashes out with them. I went to Lauren for help and she gently removed my eyelashes from the mess of  lash extension clusters on my eyes. She put lash extensions on my eyes to thicken my lashes, fill in the gaps, and add length. They look beautiful, natural, and dark, with just the right amount of curl and length. I don’t even need to wear make up! Lauren is great and provides the perfect mix of personal attention and professionalism.”

~Krista December 2011

Before is on the left, After eyelash extensions is on right.

Before eyelash extensions is on left. After on Right. 

If you ever have any questions about eyelash extension service providers in the Minneapolis and surrounding area, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you all for reading!

You can always communicate with me or view some of my other photos at my Lovelo Beauty Facebook Page .
