Botox can go WHERE?!

1. Brows/Glabella

2. Crows feet

3. Forehead. Botox in forehead helps with chronic migraines. 

4. ELBOWS! Botox in the elbow cures athletes from “Tennis elbow"

5. Underarms! Hate sweaty pits? Botox in your armpits decrease sweat levels. 

6. Bottom of Feet! Athlete’s foot? Sweaty sneakers? Are you a dancer/celebrity in heels all day? This will make life-in-your-shoes more comfortable and dry!

7. Nose! At the root of your nose, Botox will get rid of bunny lines.

8. Neck!? This reduces neck sag and wrinkles. It also decreases the size of the Masseter.

9. Corners of the mouth and Upper lip! Botox on the higher region of the lip reduces “smoker-lines”

10. Jaw line. This helps shape the jaw bone/line to give a structured symmetrical head.

11. Chin!  Dimply chin?

12. Upper and Lower Back! Botox helps spinal cord disorders!

13. Bladder!! Botox can cure an overactive bladder because it relaxes the urinary muscles.

14. Prostate. Recently doctors discovered that botox could be used to relax the prostate muscle and enlarge the area making the urethra unpressure when urinating.

15. Labia Majora. Do you have a vajayjay crease or wrinkle? This treatment is popular in the adult entertainment business!

16. INTO YOUR EYES. Doctors put Botox in children with strabismus.

Tip: Starting Botox when you're younger is better than starting it when you are in late 40’s or 50’s. Preventing muscle expressions earlier will prevent the joan-rivers look!

How long does botox last?  3-5months

Cost? Depending on the medical-spa/dermatologist/surgeon it can be low as 9$ a unit. Example, the forehead is around 5-10 units depending on the size of your face (approx. 100$) Therefore botox is relatively inexpensive.

Does it hurt? No, suck it up. Most areas get numbed topically before hand. It’s a tiny micro-needle!

Alternatives: Strivectin or Dysport

How To Maintain Designer Shoes

Designer Shoe Cleaning Tips: 

1. Don't wear them everyday!! Save your expensive shoes for special occasions!

2. Suede Material: Buy a waterproof spray, suede cleaning block, eraser on the back of a number 2 pencil and a suede brush.

3. Satin shoes can be cleaned with household stain guard. 

4. Put tissue paper in the shoe so the shape is kept up. Brush any fur with a small tooth comb so the hairs fall the same way.

5. Wipe down sole after each use with a damp paper towel.

6. If the lining or stitch broke ship it back to the store for maintenance.  Most luxury stores will make you pay shipping. 

7. If you get caught out in the pouring rain take your shoes off, put them in your dry purse and go barefoot in the rain. It's fun and will save you from ruining leather, suede and hardware.  

8. Air them out after use, but avoid sunny areas and heaters.  Storing your shoes in plastic boxes airs them out more controllably then keeping shoes in dustbags.

9. Use a sharpee to color in any scratches and shoe polish to shine. Toothbrushes can help you when it comes to getting the grime out of nooks and crannies.

Do your Christian Louboutin's look like this?

How to keep those red soles:

1. Cheap alternative: 3 coats of clear thick nail polish or top coat

2. Go to a shoe resole repairman/cobbler to get a sole-gloss glaze

3. Get a Vibram sole to put on the bottom of your shoe 

How to walk easier in high heels:

1. BOTOX! Surprisingly most ballroom dancers and celebrities get 10-20 units of 

botox in each foot so the pain of their heels goes unnoticed. 

2. Sleep in your heels to break them in two nights before you have to wear 

them.

3. Women are now going to the extremes of getting pinky toe liposuction or 

bunion correction surgery to fit in narrow italian designer labels like Ferragamo, 

Prada and Valentino

4. Foot/Toe acupuncture therapy to relieve the stress and pressure points in the 

feet

5. If you're terrible at walking in high shoes, go for a platformed, thick chunky 

heel/wedge, ankle straps so your balance is centered and secure. If the pain is 

what scares you, try out thin gel pads for the lining.

6. Walk in a short "heel, toe, heel toe" repetition.. Dont drag your feet or neglect to pick 

them up during your stride. Also take small steps and keep liquid bandaids, 

chaffing powder/creme or bandaids in your purse!

What Makes You Beautiful?

If you're a:
BLONDE: It's all about teeth.  Get those braces, retainers, flossers and whiteners to improve your smile. (Great example: Emily Maynard from this seasons "The Bachelor" on ABC...her pearly whites make her face!)

RED: It's all about the color outfits you wear. PLEASE gingers, stop trying to pull off warm reds, pinks, ambers and oranges.  You need to contrast your bright and colorful hair with neutrals, jewel tones, cools and dark colors.

GRAY/WHITE/MATURE: It's all about skin! Too pale, too orange, too pruney? Call your closest medical-spa to talk about skin pigmentation treatments, spider vein lazers, IPL, skin tightening, chemical peels, botox, juvederm, photofacials etc.... to get a glowy, polished, youthful look.

BRUNETTE/BLACK: Admit it, Brunettes have to work harder to keep up with those bombshell blondes, so it's all about the properly trimmed and groomed brows and shiney hair.  Bed head, dry split ends and unsymmetrical brows can ruin your overall look.

ACCURATE BROW SHAPES FOR YOUR FACE:
Square, Triangular, Inverted Triangle, Diamond, Rectangular Faces: The goal is to have your brows be as curved and rounded as possible to add a softness. (also known as a Petite Arch)
Oval, Heart, Round, Oblong Faces: Shape your brows with a sharp angle to fake a contoured appeal which will contrast with your fuller cheeks. (also known as a High Arch)


Brow Tips: 
1. Eyebrow gel or trimming along the edges is a great way to make them stay in place all day long
2. For cryin out loud: PLEASE tint your brows if you dye your hair!
3. Uni-brow? Letting your brows grow close together actually gives the look of a long nose and a skinny face.
4. Focus on plucking underneath rather than above. If you continue this for a few decades, it will correct the brows to grow higher which means you wont need to shell out 10k on a brow lift when ur 50yrs old; they'll already be lifted and it will naturally brighten up and open those tired eyes!
5. The Kardashian trick: Buff a medium brown shadow in the divet and space where the inner part of your eyebrow meets the shaft of your nose.

Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Trends

Need to know all things fabulous for Fall and Winter 2011-2012? Get ahead of the game and stock your wardrobe with these staple cold-weather looks!

1. Forget that over-done Military look...the new uniform muse is a Bellhop! The leading designer to forward this trend is Louis Vuitton.  http://fashionshow.louisvuitton.com/
       TIPS: Look for strappy and supportive items, flat top hats, large buttons, short wrist gloves, clean colors, lengthy blazers, rectangular handbags, combine colors like gold and carmel or maroon and cooper.
       CONS: The recent runways have all been sporting the color mixture of dark green with navy and the mix of navy and black.  I've never been a fan of navy and black combined, it makes a girl look like they are color blind.

2. Fashion Season Rollovers: Sinched waists and c-thru tops! I guess the Kim Kardashian curvy silhouette will never go out of style. Try a neutral outfit with a patent leather belt to add pop.

3. High Calf Boots and Low-Ankle boots:  Put those high ankle boots and mid-calf boots in the back of your closet. Grab these newer shaped boots because they both do a wonderful job at elongating the legs.

4. Neckline: Round-neck curve. Con: this look never does well for large chested women

5. Makeup 2011-2012: Put down the Snooki bronzer and go for a clean-canvas singular face tone.  Undo your smokey eye because the linear defined lines are in! Also, pick up some warm colors like mac's "red brick" eyeshadow. Mix it in with some metallics, black/browns and nudes on ur lid to warm up your daily stare.

6. Luckily for all you fashionistas out there, designers are coming up with sexier and sleeker rain/snow outfits and accessories. Check out Stephane Verdino Cabas Neoprene Tote Shoulder Bag $180, Rag & Bone Sandhurst Mackintosh Coat $795, Eric Javits Patent Hat $125, Piazza Sempione Rain Drop Print Capris $475, Shiseido Lasting Lift Water Resistant Mascara $23, Echo Pain Glove with Texting Slits $32, Marc Jacobs Juliette Trench $458, Felix Ray Rain Rain Go Away Bubblebrella $65
