BCA: June Jacobs

JUNE JACOBS 

RAPID REPAIR HEALING CREAM

"Great skin is always in", so here is a revolutionary skincare product that is jaw-dropping amazing not just because it is breast cancer awareness month (well, that too), but an all day, everyday - all year-round skincare must-have product for your beauty arsenal! I had the pleasure of attending an intimate product launch at the June Jacobs office a few weeks ago, and I am madly addicted to their NEW Rapid Repair Healing Cream ($60, available at JuneJacobs.com). I use this breakthrough formula on my hands, face, body and lips, pretty much everywhere. 

June’s personal battle with radiation dermatitis while undergoing treatment for breast cancer is what inspired her to develop this therapeutic cream. The clinically-tested face and body treatment helps soothe irritation, reinforce the skin’s barrier protection, smooth uneven textured skin, provides free radical protection from external assaults promoting healthy looking skin and provides up to 24-hour moisturization. The formula incorporates traditional ingredients with the latest in botanical technology to promote healthy skin.

BCA: NYC Breast Cancer Walk 2014

PRETTY IN PINK, BOXING ALL THE WAY WHILE

MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER

Staying true to my word, last Sunday I headed to Central Park at 7:00 a.m. for the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. I was wearing as much pink as I could get my hands on, closely  resembling "Pinkie Pie" from My Little Pony. Hey, all those who know me, will tell you that I am not a pink-loving, girly-girl. I have avoided the color pink since I was 10 years old; I prefer red, blue or purple! But hey, it was for a great cause, so I clipped on four pink Ouidad "Curls For A Cure" extensions in my hair, strapped on my pink Everlast boxing gloves, pink scarf, hot pink lipstick (I had to get a lipstick: I give away anything pink) and pink with black Nike's! Why the pink boxing gloves? Duh: Knock out breast cancer!

I was ready!

I love how people get into the "pink power" spirit for this event! I've heard of an entire team walking in pink heel (you dolls are my heroes, I'm pretty sure your feet were bleeding by mile 3) and men rocking pink tutu's in honor of either their mom, sister or wife. Hey, I had Chewy rocking a pink bow last year. He didn't like it, but he took one for the team, lol....

BCA: The Power of Pink

SHOWING MY BCA SUPPORT THIS OCTOBER 

& ALL YEAR ROUND, WITH MY PRETTY, PORTABLE PINK LAPTOP, FROM QVC!

"Productivity to go", for the gal who is always on the go! Running between beauty events, launches and my full-time day job, sometimes its hard waiting to write until I get home. Last month during a very busy NYFW run, I so wished that I had a portable laptop to use in between shows. Those moments when I sat at Lincoln Center recharging my equipment, or at my second home Starbucks, this would've come in handy. I know what you're thinking: "how can the gal with so many gadgets, not have one...right?" Well, I prefer larger laptops when I'm working at home (similar to guys wanting a large screen TV to watch the game) so my 17" HP laptop just isn't practical to around (plus it weighs 7 lbs.) My tablets are great, but when you type 86 words a minute, a touchscreen won't cut it and neither will a blue-tooth keyboard (I've tried.) 

Meet "Pinky" my new portable pal!
