Want Kissable Lips??

By: Leslie Chatman

Hey DISHIES! Want Kissable Soft Lips All Winter Long‏??

The health and appearance of your lips is just as important as the health and appearance of your skin. Dry, flaky lips are never good. Before you buy a lip scrub at your local drug store, think of making your own preservative and chemical free version at home! It's a simple & affordable lip scrub made from ingredients right in your kitchen.

1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Granulated Table Sugar or Brown Sugar
1 small drop of Lemon or Peppermint Extract (optional)
Toothbrush (optional)
Warm Cloth or Paper Towel

Combine olive oil, sugar and extract until they are the consistency of sand. Add small pinches of additional sugar if necessary to achieve the right consistency. Liberally apply the scrub with a cotton swab. Use your fingers or a soft toothbrush to gently massage and remove dry skin. You may also rub your lips together. Let scrub stand for 1 minute then towel off with a warm, wet cloth or paper towel. Apply lip balm immediately.

A word of caution, never use a lip scrub on cracked, bleeding lips as this could exacerbate existing issues. EEKS!

If you happen to make a little more than you need for one application, store the remaining scrub in an air tight container in the refrigerator for no more than one week.

This lip scrub can be used by both men & women for kissable soft lips all winter long…and all year ’round.

KISSES! XO

Plastic Surgeon Approved

Ok beauty Buffs! We are skeptical about EVERYTHING! Especially when someone tries to sell it to us in a living room...Believe! We are also always up for a challenge, like THIS for instance...Our challenge was to try Vegan Certified Skin Care line called Arbonne. We had heard all of the stories and success stories blah blah...of course, but does it work? Because let's be honest, that what it all boils down to anyway! RIGHT??

A little history here first, DISH has tried EVERYTHING except surgery to make our skin gorgeous! We Botox, we've lasered, we've used every product under the sun if it claimed to work no matter the cost...That being said.

ARBONNE WORKS!! We actually saw a difference in our skin OVER NIGHT! Needless to say we were convinced that maybe it was a fluke so we sent it to Momma DISH and a few friends. SAME THING! Amazing noticeable difference! WE ALL BOUGHT IT! And it continues to be an amazing product.

There are letters from Board Certified Plastic Surgeons praising Arbonne comared to the medical grade products they sell within their offices. One even switched over what she sold out of her office because Arbonne is better!

DISH uses the Re9 Advanced line; CLICK HERE to get yours! 

(PLUS: a little DISHIES told us that if you email us before you order that you can get 20% off your order!)

In a Hairy Situation?

Color by Tina Harrisonis the solution to your situation! One of the best colorist in Texas is right here in Dallas and has just opened her own Color Suite! Tina has been a color specialist for over 15 years and when we say specialist we mean SPECIAList! DISH is soooo used to people not knowing how to do blonde. They over bleach huge chunky streaks then use a "toner" which translates to ..We are breaking the base because we just over bleached these really awful streaks into your head and we have to try to fix it now...

Tina takes the thinnest bits of hair and uses at least 3 colors and never breaks the base! She fits the best color to your skin tone and your natural color so you don't have the same color of blonde that everyone else has as well.

DISH had the wonderful opportunity to grow up with Ms. Harrison since childhood however we went to her for color after our photo showed up in a local glossy with 5 other blondes and we were all the SAME COLOR!!! AWFUL!!!

That has never happened again nor will it because we will never go to anyone but Color by Tina Harrison ever again and neither should you!

Blessings and Beauty to you DISHIES!

Cin's Skin Care Secrets!

Cin's Skin Secrets

by Cindi Harwood Rose

 

 

            Moisturizing your skin daily is a myth created by hungry retailers.  If you live in a humid climate, such as Houston, you should exfoliate your skin three times a week, and only moisturize the dry patches. That way your own beautiful moisture can shine through pores that can breathe.  This gives your skin a radiant glow.  Rather than use a highly marketed product found in a department or drug store, you should opt for the "natural, organic" ones.  These would be food-grade without chemicals or preservatives. I moisturize my skin with sweet almond oil, coconut oil, flax-seed, or grape-seed oil. I make sure my products have certified organic seals on them.

  I touch the dry areas such as the sides of my nose, my hands, the top of my eye-brows with a natural oil.  I exfoliate my skin three times a week in the shower with gentle circles from a natural bristle brush, or a mixture of 3 tbsp. of ground oatmeal with a tsp. of fresh grapefruit juice.  Rarely a day does not pass, when someone does not compliment my skin.  I tone it with a mixture of 8 parts spring water, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp. Bragg's apple cider vinegar.  It is also a good idea to avoid synthetic colors and fragrances added to products, these can be carcinogenic and lead to dizziness.

 Here are 5 synthetic cosmetic ingredients to avoid on hair and epidermal products.They are as follows:

1. Methyl, Propyl, Butyl and Ethyl Paraben-- these can be toxic and contribute to skin cancer as well as rashes.

2. Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA).  These chemicals release formaldehyde.

3. Sodium Lauryl and Laureath Sulfate -- this is an inexpensive detergent that causes allergic reactions

4. Petrolatum-- it surface dries your skin and clogs the pores-- it is found in Johnson's Baby oil and Vaseline.

5. PVP/VA Copolymer-a petroleum-derived chemical used in hairsprays, inhaled particles can damage the lungs.

    We all need to do our part to have a safe, healthy body, mind, spirit, and environment

D-Stat

The product above was developed by a Dallas hairdresser Tanya Carpenter and it is one of DISH'S favorite hair products ever created!! Here is Tanya...

Who Is Tanya Carpenter?

Tanya built a successful career in the world of fashion, styling hair for editorial and commercial photo shoots, runway shows, films, and television. But her passion has always been working with clients in the salon. After five years on the road, she decided to focus exclusively on her private clients. Tanya is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, where she has had a fiercely devoted following for more than fifteen years.

“It’s amazing to work gorgeous professionals, creating art with a talented team, but there’s nothing more rewarding than watching a nonprofessional beauty walk out of the salon feeling confident and looking her absolute best,” says Tanya.

Her years of experience inspired Tanya to create DStat, but its her boundless energy and a strong entrepreneurial streak that have taken DStat from bright idea to must-have status. For Tanya, this is only the beginning. She founded Tancar, LLC to create many more innovative products that fill unmet needs in the beauty industry. An entire collection of DStat hair products, containing her proprietary antistatic formula, is in development now.

There’s no telling what Tanya will think of next, but one thing’s for sure. It will be something that makes the world more beautiful.

DON'T YOU LOVE HER!! AND her product!
