24/Savvy Beauty and Health

Many have discovered Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion, which accurately claims to decrease whiteheads overnight, but not everyone is aware of their entire line of top quality skincare. A dear friend introduced me to Mario Badescu while I was out on tour. My skin was starting to look dry and uneven from constant flights and a hectic schedule.

When my friend, who happens to look half her age, let me in on her little secret, I switched products immediately and never turned back. MB's New York boutique is hidden in an Upper East Side residential building at 320 East 52nd Street, where you can inconspicuously pop in for a facial or a wax.

If you’ve already taken in too much sun this season, tsk, tsk, you must not have checked out this article on the best SPF buys for you buck nor this savvy secret for protecting your skin.  Because we're the forgiving types, we’ve compiled a mini-list of easy remedies to relieve your sunburn symptoms and help the healing process right along using materials you likely even have on hand.  The best method to healing a sunburn is to avoid getting one in the first place, so next time....cover up, buttercup!

Pampering the face is indispensable. We love it when we can visit the nearest cosmetic salon and sit back and relax while our favorite cosmetician treats our skin, but how many of us forget to pamper ourselves when we are at home with one of the best products that money can buy? 

Bungee jumping, sky diving, hang gliding, climbing Machu Picchu, visiting Rio, Thailand, Africa, the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids, the Himalayas, Taj Mahal, retiring to an art studio overlooking the ocean and finding products that I know will serve me well so I never have to waste time or money looking for them again...this is just part of my bucket list.
