I’m going to do a product review for most of the items that I got from my Shecky’s Goody Bag, and there were A LOT of goodies, so hopefully these reviews help. One of the products in the bag was Organics by Noah’s Naturals Body Wash in Coconut Vanilla.

noah

I absolutely love this body wash. The scent is incredible. Most of the time when people hear organic they think the scent is going to be something strong or overbearing like if you walk up to one of the street vendors on Fulton ave. selling the variety of oils. The coconut vanilla scent is sweet, but very subtle. Not only does the body wash smell great, but you get a great lather with a small amount. Some body washes are so diluted that you can use half of the bottle in a matter of days trying to get a good lather on the loofa sponge…smh. Organics by Noah’s Naturals body wash also leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. This is before you even apply any type of body lotion.

The body wash also comes in another scent Rosemary Mint (not sure of how this smells). In both body washes, the natural plant emolients leave the skin feeling smooth an conditioned. They also contain coneflower seed oil and Vitamin E which are both known for their healing properties for dry skin. noah2

The body lotion also comes in coconut vanilla and rosemary mint. The body lotion is a light weight formula that restores moisture and suppleness to dry , tired skin with a unique blend of natural and organic ingredients. The body  lotion contains Vitamin A which improves the skin’s texture, firmness and smoothness, and it also contains Safflower seed oil which replenishes the skin’s moisture.

Both the body wash and lotion retail for about $10.99 each for a 10 oz bottle. It is definitely worth it because your skin will feel AMAZING! Try it out and let me know what you think!

These photos of Chanel Iman for Deutsch were all over the fashion blogs this week. Chanel Iman is a very beautiful girl and an extremely talented model as you can see.

She is taking the fashion world by storm and keeping making a great name for herself and other multi-cultural models in the industry. With her unique and exotic look, Chanel Iman is one of the most sought after models in the business.

There has been a major battle in the fashion world about designers who are hiring models who are extremely thin and I think in the photo below, she looks a little sickly. I’m not sure if this is photo shopped (I hope it is) but she does not look healthy. Some  women go to the extreme to be thin and remain thin and it is sometimes taken out of control.

I myself am thin, so in no way am I hating on Chanel Iman, but for her height, this cannot be healthy. Maybe it is the dress that gives the illusion she is extremely thin, but when young girls see this they will go to the extremes to look like her, so my question is, when is thin too thin?

What happens when you kiss someone?

According to Dr. Oz touching a person you love sets off powerful reactions in the body. One study by Swiss researchers found that young women who got brief shoulder rubs from their partners before a stressful event had lower heart rates and levels of stress hormones than women who didn’t get massages. Touching also triggers the releas of oxycotin, a hormone that bosts feelings of closeness and canreduce the perceptio of pain. All of this happens whether you kiss, cuddle, hold hands, or have sex. I say do them all more often, How’s that for a doctor’s order?

Well you heard the doctor…go out and be loved and touched…just make sure you are doing all of the kissing, cuddling, and touching with YOUR spouse…and not someone else’s or a random weirdo.

Ok Ladies, let us continue with “What Happens When…” Advice on how to stay healthy from Dr. Oz

wine

What Happens When You Have a Glass of Wine…

“Piles of studies have linked light drinking-whether its’ wine, beer or the hard stuff- to a healthier heart. One study illuminated the possible reason: After one drink (4 ounces of wine or 1.5 of liquor, not a glass the size of a soup bowl), your blood vessels relax. That is a good thing, but according to Dr. Oz, but more than one drink stresses your circulatory system.

Solution

Dr. Oz suggest’s that you are far better having a glass of wine a day than having nonw all week and then SEVEN on Saturday night.

What Happens When…You Do Not Get Enough Sleep

sleep

According to Dr. Oz, after een one night of four hours’ sleep instead of eight, you’ll feel cranker and generally “down.” You’ll have more difficculty processing complex information, and you’ll want to eat more-specifically simple carbs like sweets. Why? your body wants a quick energy fix any way it can get it. When you don’t get enough rest, your body also produces less growth hormone, a substance that helps tissues regenerate and repair thenselves, keeping you younger longer.

The exact amout of rest your body needs is very personal, but, on average, I recommend (Dr. Oz) women get no fewer than seven hours. Men are a bit neeider, they have to get closer to eight.
