To Pedicure or Not?

I have a few friend, and parents, who are constantly telling me to not get ‘spa pedicures’ at the nail shops because of all the germs/lack of hygeine used in the shops. Apparantly, even if the nail technicians spray the tub/thing with disenfectant and rinse out the area, you are still prone to bacterial infections.

so I ask you, do you Pedi-Spa? What types of things do you do to keep yourself non-prone to infection? Or do you just give it up to chance…like I do?

Stila ~ Tinted Moisturizer

I went to Sephora this weekend (mostly to escape the heat and surround myself with pleasant atmosphere and air conditioning lol) and ended up trying & buying Stila’s tinted moisturizer, thanks to my sister-in-law’s recommendation that it is a nice sheer coverage for everyday wear, has spf, is super light and non-greasy, and can also be used under my beloved Bare Essentials mineral makeup on days that I do put the stuff on.

so, my ultimate review is that it totally rocks, it was about 25 bucks, has some spf, and will indeed even out your skintone – even for me with some old acne scars, sunspots and recent chicken pox scarring. so happy day! Thanks again Staci!

Agoura Hills, CA 91301

What a cute spot in Agoura Hills! Aroma-Listic is located right behind Padre’s (which has fab italian food) and has a cherub-palace-victorian feel (check out thier website!). Plenty of good parking, and a very clean relaxing feel. I had a basic haircut appt. and was also treated to an essential oil scalp massage…fabulous! I did indeed enjoy my visit to Aromalistic and will be back again soon for the signature Massage with Pedicure!

Bare Escentuals Mineral Eyeshadow

Last week I went to Ulta and purchased a tub of BE’s Soiree which is a “glimmer” because I was wanting a really high intensity green that wasn’t too light or too dark for a photoshoot. What I ended up with was a soft kind of glittery effect that isnt what I was looking for at all. Does anyone have any suggestions or input? What is the difference between “glimmer’ and ‘shadow’? Is there a primer that will actually make the color more intense?

thank u kindly!

Bare Escentuals is available at select Macy’s

Valley Day Spa – Reseda, California

Valley Day Spa
19255 Vanowen Street
Reseda, CA 91335
(818) 757-7088
website

Ok people, check this review out because it really is amazing…well, the spa is amazing, I don’t think my writing is up to amazing standards lol. Ok anyway, I won’t even lie, I have been living and working in the valley for a little over 8 years now off and on, and I have seen the ads on bus stops and billboards etc for "Valley Day Spa" and it just looked so clip-art-corny that I never went. Finally, my nail guy continuously is telling me to try the Day Spa on Tampa

Ok so I figure what the heck, let me see what it’s about. I logged onto the website twice, but never made the appt. I dunno the website just didn’t do much for me, but then I remembered how I went for the okie-doke on the Ultimate Skin website judgement vs the actual visit, so I go ahead and book the appointment.

OMG you have GOT to go to Valley Day Spa!
