Mighty Purse

MIGHTY PURSE!

I don't know about you, but if you live your life on the go and depend on your phone often during the day to do things like route you to a destination, deliver email, Facebook, find where the nearest gas station is, connect with family, friends, or work....you have struggled to keep your phone charged when you're not near a charging device. We do so much with our smart phones that it's hard to remember what it was like when they weren't there to serve us. Some might argue that we're too dependent on them. But like it or not they are part of our lives, and often perform some very important functions.


WHAT IS MIGHTY PURSE?

When I saw the Mighty Purse at TOTAL BEAUTY EXPERIENCE, I thought.. What a cool idea! It's a purse ( a really nice quality leather purse), a wallet, a cell phone charger - all in one. It contains a very thin charger that connects to your phone when you need it and will charge it up to 2 times. After the mighty purse battery is drained, you simply plug it into a charger - just like the one you use for your phone and re-charge it and it's good to go again to serve as a backup charger right in your purse!



 OK - I know I am a techie gadget lover, and tend to gravitate toward these things, but this is something that everyone.. techie or not will appreciate and see the value in. 

The purse itself is a nice high quality leather purse, that stands on it's own as a great little purse. Granted this is not a catch all purse. This is either a wrist purse or they have a cross body version with the optional cross body strap. It holds some credit cards, has a zippered pouch inside, and some models have a zippered pouch outside as well. It could easily hold not only your phone and keys, but some cosmetics, receipts, or whatever you like to put in pouches, plus the battery. The battery is thin and can snap out if you choose to move it to your big catch all purse, backpack or choose to leave it home all together.

Speaking of backpacks... what a great thing to keep with your gear while you hike. It will help insure that you aren't stuck somewhere with a dead phone if you need to call for help. That my friend, is definitely worth the price of admission. 

Checkout this video done by a reviewer showing an up close look at the Mighty Purse. I think you will be as impressed as I am.

BABY FOOT

BEST NEW PRODUCT FOR SUMMER FEET 

 I love wearing sandals. All year I yearn for the day I can finally throw off the socks, and the closed toe shoes and break out the sandals... and let my toes be free! But like many people, I have calluses on my heels. Sometimes I even have deep cracks in those calluses that are painful, annoying, ugly, and not very attractive in my a fore mentioned sandals. So when TOTAL BEAUTY EXPERIENCE began carrying Baby Foot - a new product that originated in Japan and has received a lot of buzz, I decided to try it. It contains fruit acids and natural ingredients that actually cause the calluses to slough off completely. How cool is that? 

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS 

 The package contains two plastic booties filled with the magic ingredients. You put them on your feet, tape them shut with the enclosed tape strips... and sit down without walking for an hour. This may be tough for active Moms, so you have to plan a time when you will be uninterrupted and not be tempted to get up and walk around. The reason for staying seated is that the booties are slippery inside and walking is nearly impossible and potentially dangerous if you slip and fall. So plan a time that works best, pour yourself a glass of wine, put on a favorite TV program, or pick up a book and settle in for 1 hour. Believe me it will be time well spent!

After the hour, take off the booties and thoroughly rinse off the gel from your feet. You're done. Now just forget about it for 4-5 days. Then take a look at your feet. You will see your calluses starting to peel. Resist helping the peeling process initially because the peeling can be fairly deep and you don't want to risk peeling fresh skin. Wait a few days and you will see massive amounts of peeling that will then come off easily.

What's underneath? Soft beautiful callus free skin. I was shocked at how soft and pink my skin was.
It was truly like baby feet. My skin continued to peel for another week or so. First it was my heels, then the rest of my foot sole. Then the dead skin around my toes, and finally the top of my foot began to peel.


THE RESULT

I am really pleased with the final result. This is definitely something I will do every summer just before sandal season. I now just use regular moisturizing treatments to keep my feet soft. I couldn't be happier. The whole experience was kind of fun. Just watching all of those years of calluses that I've never been able to remove, even with electric foot sanders, files and graters finally be completely removed.  Those other things made my feet feel smoother, but never completely removed calluses.

So for the price of a pedicure, you get smooth, callus free feet. If you are local to Sacramento, CA go to TOTAL BEAUTY EXPERIENCE at 2929 Arden Way, Sacramento 95825 and get Baby Foot and try it for yourself. Or  Click Here to buy Baby Foot online from Total Beauty Experience.

Summer is Here! Our Best Tips for Your Skin

Summer is Here!


Summer brings thoughts of vacation, trips to the beach, road trips, camping, hiking, swimming, biking, attending festivals and concerts, and generally just being out there in the warm summer weather doing the things we all love to do. It's by far a favorite time of year for many of us.

At Total Beauty Experience, we love summer too. That's why we offer you an array of products that make your summer more enjoyable and less worrisome when it comes to caring for your skin, hair, lips, and feet. Then of course, there are the fun items like hats, scarves, purses, summer nail colors, and numerous little gadgets that make life on the go easier and a snap to achieve.

But on a more serious side...it is extremely important that you take care of your skin and keep it protected from the sun's harmful rays. Here are some tips that you will find very useful in having a happy, healthy, carefree summer.


Summer Skin Tips

In addition to following these tips, dress to protect. Lightweight, cotton cover-ups along with a cap or broad-brimmed hat will act as shields from harmful UV rays.
  • Apply sunscreen religiously. It’s a surefire way of
  • protecting your skin. Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes prior to allow time for the product to absorb into the skin; re-apply every few hours or as needed. Look for sunscreens that offer protection for both UVA and UVB rays – Use an SPF 30 or greater for optimal results.
  • Moisturize with SPF. Applying moisturizer with SPF is essential regardless of the season. With the onset of warmer weather, however, consider switching your current moisturizer for another with higher SPF and lighter formulation to prevent sun spots, freckles, and early signs of aging.
  • Always Use Eye Creams and Lip Protection. Sun exposure will gradually thin skin and cause wrinkles. Protect the delicate areas of your face with eye creams or lip balms with SPF protection.
  • Protect your hands and feet too. Your neck, chest, and hands are an instant giveaway to your true age. After moisturizing your face with an Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 30, bring it down to your neck as well. Be sure to apply sunscreen to your chest area as it is one of the areas of your body more susceptible to sunburn. Invest in a hand cream that offers SPF protection, and apply it at least 20 minutes before driving – keep in mind that two-thirds of all sun damage is purely incidental.
  • Also, with summer comes open-toed shoes and sandals, so be sure to exfoliate, moisturize, and protect exposed feet as well. Take into account that sunscreen will rub off faster than it would from the rest of your body from rubbing against the straps of your shoes and abrasive sand. Thus, it is recommended to re-apply more frequently to prevent burnt feet.
  • Keep hydrated. Drink water throughout the day. If you’re on the go, try bringing a bottle and a container of fresh fruit on the go to prevent dehydration and heat stroke.   TIP - We have some really nice (and cute!) water bottles that you will love!
  • Exfoliate. Depending on your skin type, exfoliate either 1-2 times a week if you’re dry and 2-3 times a week if you’re oily to help shed dead skin buildup and slough off previous sun damage. Doing so helps rejuvenate skin, leaving it soft and brighter.
  • Make the healthy switch. As tempting as it is to lie in a tanning bed or sunbathe to get the sought after summer skin, make the switch to self-tanners to achieve that color without yielding yourself to the dangers of overexposure. Try a sun-less tanner like Fake Bake, Tan Towel, St. Tropaz, or Body Drench. You will be surprised at how beautifully these tanners work to give you a natural looking tan that can be deep or gradual.  (Beauty Tip: Our faces will always be a shade or two lighter than our body; to build color on your face as well, alternate between a tinted moisturizer and a facial self-tanner to achieve an even wash of sun-kissed color).

Father's Day is June 21st!

FATHER'S DAY is coming soon! Father's are sometimes the overlooked parent in families, as mother's tend to be front and center when it comes to their children, and sometimes fathers get lost in the shuffle of activities that can often overwhelm busy families. But they're always there, patiently doing their part and providing a firm base to family life. We depend on them for so much, often taking what they do for granted.

So let's make Father's Day special and let them know how much we appreciate everything they do for us. Make it a special day of putting the spotlight on them and showing them how much we care.

At Total Beauty Experience we have selected some Men's products that are high quality, high performance, and highly desired by the men who use them. You can put together a little gift basket of smaller items, or give a gift of something larger that he would never probably buy for himself. The choice is yours.
