La Mer Body Tan - Worth It or Not?




Luxury tan is no longer a dream since it appears that the renowned skincare line company La Mer has come out with a lotion for the face and body promising to deliver gradual tan. But for a whooping $85.00 per bottle it is my opinion that the beach should come with it!!! Seriously, I am all for quality beauty products, and often find myself on the brink of bankruptcy due to my undying love for skincare products no matter the cost, but even I have my limits. To be fair, I haven't personally tried this product, nonetheless, an item so versatile and quickly gone through should not cost that much, especially since there are so many other alternatives that do the exact same thing at a fraction of the cost. So here is my question to my sweet readers, where do you draw the line between cosmetic love and obsession, and sheer label love and devotion? Do you buy products for what they are or who they are made by?

Acne Decoded

 
 
I always wonder why we get acne on the same spot repeatedly and with no reason. Little did I know, each one on a specific spot has a meaning and a way to prevent it. As all other health benefits, acne starts from our core as well, what this means is that if we want to treat acne and avoid it permanently then we need to take care of the rest of our body first.
 
I found this picture on one of my pinterest pinning party marathons, and continued on reading the blog post that accompanied it and decided to share this wonderful find with the my reader as well. I will give you the simple breakdown, but to learn more please click on the source link to The Beauty Gypsy's blog to find out more.

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.
