Here is one example that I just did for a wedding. it is very easy to go from short to lang hair in just minutes. there are 3 rows of hair that I added in and I created a side pony tail.

Hair extensions are fun and easy. and the cool thing is that she can use this with her hair down too as you can see in one of the photo’s, Easy to wash and ok to curl and blow dry.

any more questions please contact me.

3 reasons to juice

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:17 pm

There are three main reasons why you will want to consider incorporating vegetable juicing into your optimal health program:

Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of making less-than-optimal food choices over many years. This limits your body’s ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help to “pre-digest” them for you, so you will receive most of the nutrition, rather than having it go down the toilet.

Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner. If you are a carb type, you should eat one pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. Some people may find eating that many vegetables difficult, but it can be easily accomplished with a quick glass of vegetable juice.

You can add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet. Many people eat the same vegetable salads every day. This violates the principle of regular food rotation and increases your chance of developing an allergy to a certain food. But with juicing, you can juice a wide variety of vegetables that you may not normally enjoy eating whole.

If you are new to juicing, I recommend a mid-priced juicer. The cheap centrifugal juicers (like the Juiceman) break easily, produce low quality juice, and are very loud, which may contribute to hearing loss.

Many people initially think that juicing will be a real chore, but the majority are pleasantly surprised to find that it is much easier than they thought it would be.

This is partly because you should only start by juicing vegetables that you enjoy eating non-juiced. The juice should taste pleasant — not make you feel nauseous.

It is very important to listen to your body when juicing. Your stomach should feel good all morning long. If it is churning or growling or generally making its presence known, you probably juiced something you should not be eating.

Eat Your Way To A Better Face

Filed under: Uncategorized, Beauty/fashion — admin @ 4:14 pm

From the man who brought you cosmeceuticals and super foods comes a way to eliminate face puffiness, increase contours, firm your jaw line, and exude a naturally healthy glow. As it turns out, it’s what you put in your body, not what you have surgically put on or sloughed off, that counts. Dr. Nicolas Perricone’s Nutritional Facelift challenges you to comply with a prescribed menu of meals for three days to see significant changes to the appearance of your face. You also might experience side effects in the way of positive changes to your waistline and your general headspace as well. We’ve done our part by printing the diet in full here. Sticking to it is all you.

Breakfast

Three-egg omelet and/or 4-6 oz. grilled salmon (Perricone does not recommend smoked salmon or lox on the three-day diet because of the salt intake)

1?2 cup cooked oatmeal (not instant; cooked oatmeal is a great source of fiber and low glycemic carbohydrates)

2-inch wedge of cantaloupe or 1/3 cup fresh berries (cantaloupe is very hydrating to the skin and contains important antioxidants; blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries are also high in antioxidants)

No juice, coffee, or toast (if you normally drink large amounts of coffee, drink black or green tea to prevent caffeine withdrawal)

8-12 oz. spring water

Lunch

4-6 oz. grilled salmon (option: you can also use canned salmon and mix in a little mayo and fresh-squeezed lemon)

2 cups green salad made with romaine lettuce or other dark leafy greens

Dressing: extra virgin olive oil and fresh-squeezed lemon to taste

1 kiwi fruit or cantaloupe and berries

8-12 oz. spring water

Snack

1 apple

2 oz. slice of turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt

Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds (these are a great source of fatty acids
and folic acid)

Dinner

4-6 oz. grilled salmon

Green salad, as described above

1?2 cup steamed veggies (especially asparagus, broccoli, spinach, etc. No root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, etc.)

Cantaloupe and berries

8-12 oz. spring water

Before-Bedtime Snack

1 pear or apple

2 oz. slice chicken or turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt

Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds

Detoxing for your health

Filed under: Uncategorized, Beauty/fashion — admin @ 5:48 pm

Some times going through a detox can be very intense and also have to make a time commitment to a program.  I have done a few.  One is Dr. Natura and that can be a 1-3 month time commitment where you take in the morning some herbal pills and a full glass of his recommended fiber to take.   Then at night there is a laxative tea then more pills.  Drinking plenty of water through out the day and eating a regular diet.  (usually that is when I try to eat allot better knowing that I am cleansing)  that was on thing I loved about it was that I could still eat what I wanted.

The results for me were great!  My stomach was much flatter and I had at least 3 bowel movements a day (sorry to be so detailed on that).  My energy level was great!  And all together I was feeling good about my self.

“The master cleanser” was another one and was very intense to do.  I had to really plan that one out carefully.  For me, I needed to make sure that I committed to 1 week at least to be home where I can go to the bathroom because of frequent urination. (about every 15 min.)  and that I had to ease my intake of food out and when I was ready to introduce my body back to food I had to ease back into that one as well.  So probably all in all about a 2 week commitment.  Another term for that was the Lemonade fast.  Also drinking plenty of water.

One thing you need to becareful of is the way people will detox.  every one detoxes in different ways.  Mine happen to be very hard pressure headaches for the first few days then eventually they subside.  I thought when I went on that 1 week fast I was going to have a hard time wanting to eat, however It turned out fine.  As long as I sipped the juice and kept drinking the water I had no cravings.  You can find the yellow easy read book in any book store or even in  Whole foods.

Another detox that I did for a 1 month commitment which was very invasive was a Herbal detox with Colonic.  It was very difficult however I got very good results from that as well.  lost a lot of weight and a very flat stomach too.  Lots of pills to take with and what ever my nutritionist had given me on the instruction was sometimes hard to keep a track on.  He is located in Sherman Oaks and his name  is Avtar and the # is 818-907-7542.

There is one that I am on now and is non invasive and very easy to do.  Just add some drops in your drinking water and will help you to detox and at the same time will help:

  • It contains phytosaponins - a natural detergent or soap derived from desert plants - ‘yucca schidigera’
  • It helps break up congestion in the intestinal tract and dissolves body wastes and toxins
  • It helps emulsify tissue wastes and brings them into circulation for the liver to dispose
  • It helps de-fat the liver and rejuvenates the colon
  • It is hostile to the parasite and pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria and viruses that flourish in the gut.

Here is the D Tox link that you can order from.  This product is some thing that I now intend to use as  a new life style with my diet.  I will write back in the future for the results that I am getting from this.

Best Regards,

Loralin Engel

Hair styles for your wedding day

Filed under: all weddings, Beauty/fashion — admin @ 9:42 am

As every woman knows, it isn’t necessarily the dress that makes the biggest impression on your wedding day; it’s how you look in it. If your hair style isn’t perfect under your veil then everyone will notice. The best hair styles for your wedding day are the ones the compliment your dress perfectly as well as your personality. It is so important to the overall beauty of the bride.

Before you choose your wedding hair style, you need to pick the perfect salon in which to get it done at. You should choose one that you are familiar with or someone you know is. The last thing you want to happen is to end up at a salon that doesn’t specialize in wedding hair styles. Make sure you make you appointment well in advance, as the larger salons that specialize in wedding hair styles get booked up quickly, especially during wedding season.

Then you need to look at your shape of your face, as well as the dress you are wearing. You also need to know what type of veil you will be wearing and how much of your hair style it will be covering. If you are planning on wearing a tiara or a veil that drops over the face you need to make sure your hair style will not be crushed or look awkward. The best hair style for wearing a tiara is a simple one. You could choose the very elegant bun at the nape of your neck look or you could choose a high bun. You could also go with a very simple part in the middle of your hair style with curls cascading down your back. It will give you a more formal and put together hair style.

If your wedding is more casual, then you could easily put a few flowers in it, or better yet, just let it hang naturally with a few well placed jewel adorned barrettes. Flowers are also a popular choice in wedding hair styles, especially for the more informal wedding, in place of a veil. They make you look innocent and fun without losing any of the graceful and well designed look. You can easily match the flowers in your hair style to the flowers in your bouquet for a whimsical look.

There is also what is known as the Las Vegas hair style which is popular among younger brides, whether they are eloping or not. It has more of a funky, youthful look of a bun or ponytail pulled back neatly with the front bangs loose and curly. It falls on the face in an easy way making you look relaxed and cool.

No matter which hair style you choose for your wedding, make sure you really love it. Have the stylist practice beforehand so there are no surprises the morning of your big day. Consider having different hair styles from your bridesmaids to really stand out. Each person should have a hair style that suits their face and length.

Hair extensions and clip ons

Filed under: all weddings, Beauty/fashion — admin @ 9:40 am

Lately what I have been doing for brides that want length or fullness in their hair for the day of the wedding is doing some customized clip ons. What I like about that is they can still use them afterwards as many times as they want.

The hair is real hair so the bride would be able to curl or flat iron them with out damaging the hair vs. just using synthetic hair that you cannot blow dry, curl or flat iron.

The fun thing also that I like about the extensions or clip ons is that I can create hi-lites w/ out damaging the real hair.

What I use in the salon in Great Lengths brand. That is used for bonding 1/2″ away from the roots. it can last up to 5-6 months depending on well the client takes care of the hair and how fast the clients hair does grow. The hair comes from India and what I also like about that is that it does have a natural wave to it so you can wear it with a lot of body. for more info on the brand you can go to :
