Glamorous Powder Room


 
This is among the most glamorous master bathroom I have ever seen. Largely featured in the TV reality show The Real Housewife's of Beverly Hills, this beautifully designed bathroom was Lisa Vanderpump's beauty room and some might say safe haven.

Dior Institut & Spa


 
 
 
 
Among my many dreams and aspirations is to one day manage my very own luxury spa, and my inspiration first came from the luxurious Dior Institute and Spa in Paris at the Plaza Athenee. Below is a quick descriptions taken for the luxurious spa's website, of the little part of heaven that was somehow constructed rigth here on planet Earth.
 
"Because excellence, elegance and refinement never cease to intertwine and innovate, and because the two establishments bear the essence of the Parisian spirit in their very identities, it was only natural that Dior and the Plaza Athénée combine their values and know-how to create the most Parisian of beauty institutes.

Perfect combination of innovation, refinement and sensoriality, Dior Institut offers an exceptional revitalizing escape. In this inviting enclave, where time seems to stand still, the primary aim is to revive the youthful beauty of the face and body through a comprehensive approach, an interaction of the finest treatments and techniques to ensure optimal results. Reshaped by exquisitely precise gestures, the face and the body are toned, reoxygenated, rebalanced. A deep transformation that is reflected in the attitude and the features of the face. The bearing becomes more unbowed, true beauty is revealed.

Dior Institut addresses a large selection of face and body treatments to both women and men. Some treatments have been exclusively developed for the Plaza Athénée. While the Dior Institut at the Plaza Athénée features five treatment rooms (including a double room) and a relaxation lounge, a fitness center, hammam steam baths and saunas, are available to complete your well being experience."
 
It it my belief that every women deserves to enjoy the best that there is, and this facility is just that. And I hope to someday be lucky enough to visit it myself and enjoy a nice relaxing and pampering day at the Dior Spa in Paris.

Beauty Tip #3: Water

 
 
There is no question that the beauty benefits of natural water are endless and vital to the survival of all human beings. However, many of us tend to reach for the more sugary drinks to help quench our thirst instead of nature's number one gift to humanity. The benefits are countless and the importance or water consumption could never be underestimated. So the best thing to do is to drink as much as possible or at least 8 cups per day.
 
Here are some of the most know benefits of drinking water:
 
1. Helps to lose weight
2. Healthy skin
3. Fights infection
4. Get rid of body toxins
5. Healthy heart
6. Prevent joint pains and arthritis
7. Boost energy
8. Prevent constipation
9. Reduce risk of cancer
10. Improves productivity
11. Increase metabolism
12. Relieve fatigue
 
AND ALL FOR ZERO CALORIES!

Dita Von Teese Retro Kitchen



 
 
I cannot get enough of this pink kitchen design that was featured in a magazine a while back. I can honestly say that not only does Dita Von Teese has exquisite taste when it comes to her wardrobe, but her style is just as fabulous in household matters. The checkered black and white floors add glamour and style to this wonderfully pink 1950's inspired kitchen. It's simply divine and I take this as an inspiration to my own kitchen design. This editorial is straight out of a retro lookbook and I adore every part of it.

My Vitamins

It would be wrong for me to tell you that I am a very health conscious person, however, I do like to take care of my body and health. And even though there are many temptations that steer me away from a very healthy diet, I try my best to maintain a good body weight, figure, and overall health. To help me in my quest for a healthier and more active lifestyle, I use a few vitamins and diet supplements that help boost my overall well being. Baring that in mind, I have three primary vitamins and herbal capsules that I like to take on a daily basis:
 
1. One A Day Women's Gummies: Complete adult multivitamin. 
 


2. Cinnamon: Helps regulate blood sugar and metabolism.



3. Evening Primrose Oil : A direct source of GLA Evening Primrose Oil is great for smooth skin, lustrous, hair, and strong nails, among other things. It is great for hormonal balance, helps support the structure and function of: inflammatory and immune response, glands and organs responsible for hormone metabolism, nerve function, joint health and skin cell production. It is an absolute gem, and my most prized and safe guarded beauty and health secret.
 
 
 
It goes without saying that theses are my personal opinions and choices, and is in no way shape of form a medical advice or promotion. Everyone should consult his/her physician before taking any type of supplements, vitamins and/or medications.
 
I find that the combination of these three work best for me and provide enough balance for my overall diet. I also try and take things as organic as possible, which in return help me benefit the from these herbs at their purest form available.
