As we approach the three month mark of 2011, many of you have probably already fallen off of the new years resolution wagon.  You hit the gym and ate right for the first part of January, but then the motivation and drive you felt after the first of the year quickly dwindled and now you’re left wondering where to go next.  If you need a motivator, Carole Carson’s new book “From Fat To Fit” may be the answer.

“From Fat To Fit” chronicles the story of how author Carole Carson exceeded her goal of losing 40 pounds by her 60th birthday. Whether you’re in our 20s or well into our 50s, it’s never too early or too late to take better care of our heart and body.  In honor of American Heart Month and as a way to help motivate you to kick your fitness routine back in high gear, our sister site iEnhance.com is giving away Carole Carson’s “From Fat To Fit” to one lucky winner.

Makeup is a huge passion of mine, from clean and simple, to glam and gorgeous. If there’s a new makeup product out there, I’m all over it! Recently, I had the opportunity to try out the Makeup Primer by Reviva Labs. Having oily/combination skin, I have to admit I was a little weary about putting anything on my face that could potentially worsen the oily look. However, this vitamin-enriched product goes on silky smooth and even helps to control oil.

The Makeup Primer can be applied over your facial moisturizer or straight on your skin. I use only one pump’s worth all over my face and neck, over moisturizer. Because I only use concealer and powder foundation,  I let it set in for a few minutes before I start putting on my makeup. This helps my skin become smooth and silky, a perfect palette for me to work on (makeup application is definitely an art!). I also noticed that I don’t have to do a “shine check” half way through the day anymore, the primer has it under control. This product is also non-comedogenic, which means it won’t clog pores!

It has been a great addition to my makeup kit and would definitely recommend it to any other makeup lovers out there. Check out the Reviva Labs website to order your bottle of Makeup Primer, and see if their other products could work for you too.

Many of those who are considering cosmetic plastic surgery often look to personal accounts when researching their procedures, which is why we would love to hear from you. We are constantly looking for inspiring stories from real people just like you who have had an enhancement procedure – cosmetic plastic surgery, skin care treatment, or cosmetic dentistry procedure. Here are a couple of examples of some recent stories: Jana’s Story and Elease’s Story.
