DIY Chanel Perfume Jewelry Boxes



While searching the net, I came across this DIY Chanel perfume decorative home display.

I fell in love!

It’s so versatile and easy to create…… It adds the perfect sparkle ambiance to any room!

To begin, you will need your favorite color glitter and Mod Podge. I’m using silver, gold and pink.



Next, you will need a rectangular box, any size or shape, to use as your main perfume bottle. You will also need a smaller box to act as the cap and a plastic cap (I used an old perfume cap) to use as the bottle neck. I got my boxes from Michaels arts and craft store.




This is what it looks like all put together!


 First step is to hot glue the cap to the small box.

 Next, cover the boxes with Mod Podge and glitter, then let it dry.

                                 


I then did a Google search for “Chanel No 5” images and printed one out. Cut the image and back it with another piece of paper. This will make sure the glue doesn’t seep through. Now glue to perfume box.



When all dry, glue the cap to the bottle and finish off by adding your favorite color ribbon!




Voila …. Your very own Chanel Jewelry Box!

Infrared Body Wraps



One day while searching the net for different spa treatments, I came across a Groupon ad for something called “Infrared Body Wraps”
I’ve heard and had regular body wraps before but never infrared. So I was naturally curious.

What is it?!

“The Infrared Body Wrap is a natural heat therapeutic treatment which uses Far Infrared Heat Energy (FIR) that penetrates twice as deep as other heat sources to target toxins and cellulite trapped in pockets below the surface of the skin.

Infrared make the body perspire profusely which allows the blood to circulate faster in a shorter period of time. By perspiring you are allowing your body to remove waste products that are trapped below the skin. Through the natural process of sweating you stimulate circulation which is how you speed up your metabolism”

Benefits:

- Cellulite and fat loss reduction
- Decrease water clusters and improve bodily fluids
- Detoxify the body by releasing tissue-bound toxins
- Enhance blood flow
- Burn up to 1400 calories per session


It was only $39 ….. So of course I had to try it!!!

The place I went to was in Philadelphia -- > http://www.pwlcphiladelphia.com/services/veda-health

The process takes about an hour. They wrap you with supposedly some “special formula” and you lie down on the table. After your wrapped, they tuck you in with large foil sheets and place you in the infrared machine for 60 minutes.



I’ve had a total of 3 wraps in 3weeks
Starting measurements          After 3rd Wrap

Waist                        31.3    30.2
Lower abdomen        34.4    34.0
Hips                         39.0    36.6

Of course you still have to eat pretty healthy and have some sort of exercise regime to keep seeing results. I wouldn’t call this a fat loss miracle, but I think it can help speed up the process.


All in all.... It works!!!!

*Electrolysis*






As women, we all know facial hair can be very unattractive.


Most women either tweeze, wax or thread unwanted hair and I’ve done all three.

Back in 2013, I started looking into laser hair removal for my lip and chin area because I was so tired of doing it all. After about 8 sessions, hair still grew back in certain areas.

After talking to an older lady at my gym, she started telling me about electrolysis and how she’s been doing it for years.

“Electrolysis is a way of removing individual hairs from the face or body. The art of electrolysis uses a fine sterile probe which is inserted into the hair follicle. Then, a small amount of electrical energy is applied, destroying the hair growth tissue. Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal process that works on all skin and hair types, including people with white, grey, red, and blonde hair in the area to be treated. Those people with darker skin and ethnic backgrounds are also treatable with electrolysis.”

After one 30 min session for $60, my facial hair is gone. The pain is minimal, but some spots were more sensitive than others.

I would totally recommend this for anyone who’s looking into permanent hair removal.

The place I go to is:

Lori Jay, CPE

Ph: 609) 314-0344

Prices:
