Arianne January 8, 2019January 8, 2019

The thing about sports bras is that you KNOW you are wearing one. A lot of times they are just plain uncomfortable or totally lacking in the support department. Well, worry no more about low hanging, unsupported melons; because Reebok believes they have the perfect solution, the Reebok PureMove Sports Bra.

Reebok Pure Move Sports Bra -“Second Skin” Support for the Girls

So what is the big deal about this bra? Well in 2018 it was honored as one of the best sports bras on the market. So popular, Reebok is now offering it in additional colors such as the ‘Carotene colorway.’

Nevertheless, we repeat, what makes this bra so much better then other ones currently on the market? Reebok explains,

“Forty years after the first sports bra was invented, Reebok is changing the game with the release of PureMove. What makes PureMove so different? Designed to feel like a second skin, PureMove is comprised of just 7 pieces of flexible, breathable material.

There are no hooks, clasps, underwires or adjustable straps to get in your way. It simply slips on and into your everyday workout look with ease. PureMove is made with an innovative Motion Sense fabric that no other bra on the market has. Motion Sense technology treated fabric firms up more to support during heavy impact movements; and less during low impact movements.

Reebok was able to create a bra that offers an unprecedented amount of support. Minimizing bounce and maximizing stability during high intensity movements.”

Want to try out PureMove? It’s available now at reebok.com and retails for $60.

Arianne January 8, 2019January 8, 2019

Beauty Quickie: Ladies, hear us out for a second… Set aside your usual scrubs and pick up a facial brush. Why? Well, these babies have been shown to improve skin while eliminating several other common skincare problems all at the same time. Interested? Great, read on to learn over 7 facial brush benefits of this awesome beauty tool!

Facial Brush Benefits -Over 7 Reasons Why to Give it a Try

Our friends over at Yelle Skincare, the skincare brand by media mogul Yandy Smith, were kind enough to explain all the numerous facial brush benefits that there are to be had. In regards to the regular use of facial brushes Yelle Skincare reveals,

“A facial brush can be used on both your face and neck, and removes that top layer of dead skin to improve skin tone. This, along with it’s effects to stimulate circulation, will create firmer, more lasting skin. The result? Reduced wrinkles, soft, healthier skin and a massaging routine that makes for a relaxing end of your day.

Facial brushes are better than anti-aging creams. It works in the same fashion; peeling off dead skin to reveal the youthful glow beneath. But anti aging creams contain unnatural acids, which is why a facial brush is safer. So [then] in a nutshell, facial brushes produce fresh, young skin in the most affordable and natural way possible.”

Successful Day: 6 Things to do to be Super Productive

Arianne January 7, 2019January 7, 2019

Next time you want to have a very successful day there’s 6 things you need to remember to do first. Nothing crazy, just a few tweaks to get your mind as well as body in the game. All six of the following tips are easy to do, simple to remember yet can have a POWERFUL effect on how your day goes. Therefore, let’s get right to them so you can be on your way to a more efficient, brighter and productive you!

Successful Day: 6 Things to do to be Super Productive

Hit the Sheets – Researchers aren’t just preaching proper beauty sleep for no apparent reason Missy! Lack of sleep could result in irritability, impaired memory, weight gain, lackluster skin, high blood pressure and an exhausted brain. Yikes… doesn’t sound like someone having a successful day huh? So then, don’t become a sleep deprived casualty from staying up too late on Instagram or Netflix. Go to bed at a decent hour so you can be sure to get enough sleep.

Coffee Run – Not a believer of the black stuff? Well, does the thought of gaining more energy sweeten the deal? Just think of all the work you could get done if you weren’t so tired. Best part, is that this entire process is proven by science. You see, when you drink a nice cup of Joe; the caffeine in it increases the release of what’s known as Catecholamines. Which is basically a fancy term for adrenaline.

Once all this adrenaline hits your sympathetic nervous system that’s where the magic occurs. This causes more blood to be sent to your muscles AND radios to your liver to release sugar into the bloodstream for energy. Then BOOM! A more energetic person ready to tackle the day!

Eat How Your Mama Taught You – Remember as a kid getting told you need to eat your fruits and veggies? Well, turns out that was pretty good advice… for life! Eating “right” and well helps you to function as well as THINK better thanks to all of those awesome minerals and vitamins. So watch what you’re packing in and make sure you’re eating a balanced, healthy diet.

Successful Day: 6 Things to do to be Super Productive (Continued)

Quality H20 – Have you heard what drinking water right when you wake up can do for you? Besides, having the influence to fire up your metabolism and hydrate you; it also can give your brain fuel. This is because water allows the chemicals as well as electrical signals to pass freely between brain cells. Therefore, do yourself a favor and drink up so that you can think clearer in order to make smarter decisions.

Create a To-Do List – Success often boils down to good structure. Think of it like a building, actually two buildings. One is being built with good materials and according to a construction plan; while the other is haphazardly being constructed with supplies arriving late or not at all. Which building do you think will be put together more successfully?

Of course, the one being planned out properly! The other construction site with little to no plan will most likely run into delays, confusion, mistakes and costly financial setbacks. So then, do yourself a big favor and plan ahead, then follow through.

Yes, having a plan of action can go a long way to keeping you on schedule and confident in what you are trying to accomplish. There’s less guessing games and less items that need to get done that will fall through the “cracks.” So don’t fear structure, welcome it.

Successful Day: 6 Things to do to be Super Productive (Cont.)

GOALLLLL! – Hearing that a soccer game can be very exciting; and it can be just as exciting in your journey of having a successful day. Writing down your goals forces you to have to think about them.

What are you trying to accomplish? How badly do you want it? What are you setting into motion to get there? All this thought processing will help you to gain more motivation to keep going. Which is very important when the going gets tough.

Arianne January 2, 2019January 2, 2019

SHOTS Fired! Looks like we got us a good ol’ makeup battle going on in the beauty realm! With the release of Morphe cosmetics new 60 shade deep foundation, many were wondering what Fenty Beauty was up to in that very department. Well, don’t think for one second the queen is not always working on that new new. Just today Rih revealed that 2019 will see the fulfillment of Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation 50 shades lineup. Yup, the Fenty’s foundation range is growing and we are here for it all!

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation 50 Shades -10 NEW Tones

So what’s new? Well, if you recall, Fenty Beauty started it all when it released 40 shades of foundation that fit a large range of skin tones. An area in beauty that often did not receive much attention. However, that was just the start for Rihanna. The singer has been consistently adding more colors to all of her various product creations; from Gloss Bombs to Mattemoiselle lippies.

Now Rih’s already extensive and successful 40 tone foundation is gaining 10 new hues in the sisterhood. In regards of this new release the brand says,

“But are y’all really ready?!? We are adding 10 more Pro Filt’r Foundation shades, for a total of 50, to the collection. These shades were specifically created by Rihanna to match skin tones y’all didn’t know we could.

Same soft-matte, longwearing, light as air; and photo-shoot ready formula that y’all know and love. With more shades to match more skin tones! Get it on January 11 at fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP!”

Morphe Fluidity Foundations -60 Shades of Foundation!

ArianneUpdated on January 2, 2019January 2, 2019

Rihanna… girl, look what you have started! Since the genesis of Fenty Beauty, several cosmetics companies have been hard at work in the lab developing foundations that more suitably match their consumer base. The first exciting foundation release of 2019; hands down is the Morphe Fluidity Foundation. A beauty product that boasts a jaw-dropping 60 different shades!

Morphe Fluidity Foundations -60 Shades of Foundation

No that is no typo. 60. 60 shades of foundation is on the table for us over at Morphe. The brand has been a tad bit cryptic, not really giving much away about all of this. Regarding their upcoming release Morphe simply reveals,

“Leave no tone unturned. Introducing Fluidity. 60 tone-empowering shades, for every babe. Launching 1.17.19.”

As one can see, Morphe isn’t trying to say much at all yet. Maybe they don’t want to oversell it; because of the wild success Fenty Beauty is still having. However, this foundation release is nothing to just brush off.

It is still another drop in the bucket that helps to improve the state of the beauty industry. For years, many skin tones have been ignored and now brands are finally waking up to the fact that light, medium and dark just won’t cut it.

One thing that we love so far about this product is that… well, actually there’s quite a bit to love. Besides the awesome range in colors, Fluidity is also:

Transfer Resistant
Longwear
Parabens Free
Water Resistant
Oil Free
Sweat Proof
Fragrance Free

Ugh… we stan Morphe, take our money already! Therefore, how much will Fluidity cost you? Get this… it’s UNDER $20! Yes, Morphe Fluidity Foundation will retail for just $18. 2019 is looking real real good!

Want a preview of the Fluidity’s tones? Watch the video below:

PSSST… there’s more… Morphe is also releasing concealer and powder shades! More on that later today so check back!
