DR. BANK RECCOMENDS FOUR SKINCARE TREATMENTS TO GET GLOWING SKIN IN THE NEW YEAR

The start of the New Year is a time for new beginnings and healthier routines. The winter can be very stressful on your skin, so it is the perfect time to begin taking better care of it to ensure it stays vibrant all year long. Start the year off right and make a trip to your dermatologist to get a doctor’s professional advice on what treatments are best for your skin type.

MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion is ideal for all types of skin, and is great to get in the winter because it exfoliates dead skin on the surface that has built up. Microdermabrasion is mechanical exfoliating, which can be done in your dermatologist’s office using a special machine. This gentle yet efficient treatment does wonders for everything from clearing up acne to fading dark spots and wrinkles.

CHEMICAL PEEL

Chemical peels also work by exfoliating the skin; however they are much more aggressive and go beyond just the top surface layer. Chemical peels use strong acids such as alpha hydroxyl acid, and TCA to peel away deeper layers. Chemical peels come in different strengths depending on an individual’s skin type. Sensitive skin types can start with a lower strength peel and work their way up to the maximum strength where actual peeling of the skin will occur. Although chemical peels can be done at any time of the year it is best to get them in the winter to maintain a healthy, radiant glow all year round. 

FRAXEL LASER

Fraxel Laser treatments offer a wide variety of anti-aging benefits, improving everything from fine lines and wrinkles to scarring and brown spots. The Fraxel laser is an advanced non-invasive laser treatment that works by penetrating the skin’s layers using light energy to exfoliate skin and build collagen. The treatments can be done at any time of the year, but are great to get in the winter because patient’s skin can become sensitive to the sunlight from the laser. 

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Looking to start off the New Year with smoother, more manageable skin? Try Laser Hair Removal! Shaving can be very irritating on the skin- causing everything from ingrown hairs to red, itchy rashes. For those with sensitive skin or anyone who does not want to deal with the hassle of shaving anymore, laser hair removal is fabulous.

2013 This is OUR year, breathe it in.

New Years Eve IllustrationHappy New Year and Happy 2 Year Anniversary to my blog on January 1st!!! Resolutions do stick sometimes, huh.

What an exciting year it has been!

I am proud to say this is also the 6-month anniversary of my weekly Newsletter (subscribe here to get in on it)! It is a promise that I have made 6 months ago to deliver weekly illustrations and blog posts to you, and it is something I have taken seriously and proudly kept up, every week for 6 months!

Thus far I have created 23 new illustrations for my blog alone in these last 6 months, and at the end of the one-year anniversary of these newsletters will have created 52 blog illustrations – and that does not include illustrations I have done for clients!

Some of these illustrations have gone on to become products for my online store that launched only a month and a half ago!!! It feels like it has been at least a year! That is another one of my exciting business moves made this year!!! That’s right I am celebrating! And you should celebrate all of your accomplishments this past year too!

I can honestly say that creating this blog for you is probably my favorite thing to do all week.  I look forward to it coming out every Thursday via email. To express myself in writing and create a beautiful illustration each week gives me so much joy, especially because it is created with the intention to inspire, and if it has inspired at least one person then I have done my job.

I wanted to say a big thank you to YOU for taking the time to read my blogs and view my illustrations! Your support inspires me to keep moving towards my dreams – and with that, on with my blog – a blog dedicated to inspiring you BIG time to live your dreams in 2013 and beyond.

Hope you enjoy….

“Imagine that anything is possible, and name the most amazing thing that could happen in 2013.” – Marianne Williamson.

What would it be?

“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.” – Oprah Winfrey.

What would you ask for?

“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”  – Oprah Winfrey.

Are you up for that adventure?

“Imagine if you were not afraid to fail. What would you be doing right now.” – Oprah Winfrey.

Now take this New Year, and run with it. Do it. Live it how you want to.

What would you do differently?  What would you do more of?  What would you do less of?  Who would you not spend time with?  Who would you see more often?  What would you say that has thus far been left unsaid?

What would you say NO to? What would you say Yes to?

It is a brand new year, a year that many of us have gone through hoops of fire to get to. What would you do with this newfound gift? What would you do if you had another chance to get it right, if you had a clean slate?

If you are on the right path, how can you give more, serve more and be more of that?

This is OUR year. Breathe it in. 

This will be a year of significant change. I can feel it in my bones and it’s inspiring.  The climate of our society, of our economy and of our trust in humanity is being tested.  We, as individuals must rise above the challenges and “Be the change we wish to see in the world” – Ghandi.

Change yourself.  You are in control.
Forgive and let go.
Take care of this moment.  Without action, you aren’t going anywhere. See the good in people and help them persist. Be congruent, be authentic and be your true self. Continue to grow and evolve.

These are Ghandi’s fundamentals for changing the world.

“To the world you are one person, but to one person you may mean the world.” – Unknown.

Every little bit counts.  Seconds make up minutes and minutes make up hours.

Do you have the guts to see it through?  Can you hold yourself up to the standards you have set for yourself in your heart?

If you are the author to the story of your life, what does 2013 hold for you?

Let me know! You can leave comments below to share your goals and visions for 2013!

Hope that inspires you to live an inspired life!

Happy NEW YEAR!

The glitter of Vegas – Getting inspired for New Years!

So inspired by Sean Paul’s new music video – Got 2 Luv U featuring Alexis Jordan!!!

I’m getting all hyped up about all the glitter and glam that goes into New Years Eve and this video is such great inspiration for NYE parties and dressing.

Check out this vid and it will get you pumped when you get ready on New Years Eve.

I mean check out those gold lips on the bathroom wall, and Alexis’ pheasant feathered frock. Or her sequined numbers.

This music video is making me miss vegas so much! Haze in the Aria and Vanity in the Hard Rock are two of my favorite hotspots, mind you I have not been there since this time last year right before the Cosmo opened, and I hear from my sources that Marquee is amazing. Can’t wait to go back!!!

As a designer, I am always so inspired by music and music videos, the color, camera shots and wardrobe are making me drool in this song!

I hope this inspires you as much as it inspires me to add some glam back into your wardrobe, take a few fashion risks and live this next year with GUSTO – hey, the Mayan Calendar may be right, the world may end (still not 100% sold on this though) and how terrible would it be if we as a society and as individuals failed to live this year, and each day as if it was the end of the world!

Ok, I’ll stop dancing… Running to my closet to prep my NYE glittery and glam look! Can’t wait to ring in the New Year 2012, I have a feeling its going to be GLAM- Tastic!

xoxo
