Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy -
Are you interested in:
Smoothing your hair?
Managing the curly hair you have?
Decreasing your blow drying time?
Retiring the flat iron?
Ready to have humidity resistant hair?
Keratin Complex Therapy is a (fairly) recent process that smoothes the hair. It is not to be confused with the Japanese Straightening Treatment. The smoothing process allow you to have straight hair or wavy/curly hair. You can blow dry your hair straight with a brush or let it dry to it's natural wave without any frizz. For most people, it is a life changing treatment. It is a non-chemical treatment, so it will not damage your hair. In fact, since you will be using the blow dryer and straightening iron a lot less, or not at all, your hair will look healthier instantly, and become healthier over time.
If you check with your local salon, this treatment cost $150/hr and takes minimum 2 hours (usually 3-4) to finish plus 20% tip to your stylist ( you do the math!!) Please note, that there is a "mini" version of this that you're hairdresser will offer you for $100. It will only last 4-6 weeks. My treatment last 4-6 months. Difference is the product that is used. One has a preservative and one does not.
I have been doing this treatment for 2 + years, offer competitive pricing AND I come to you. I am currently running a special so message me on FB if interested and I will gladly answer any questions, give you more details.
In the meantime.... go to this link and click on the video clip from "The View". Don't worry, you don't have to watch those goofy woman fighting and arguing about stupid crap :D

Going Primal!!!!
The queen of dieting here... coming to you live. So I have been genetically skinny most of my life. As I approached 40 I decided to have another baby (38, respectively). I did not balloon up, I only gained about 28 lbs. and within 3-4 months after birth I was back down to my fighting weight plus about 2-3 lbs. No biggy, I'm cool with that. I was a little squishier, understandably. Over a 2-3 year period, I slowly gained weight.. so slowly I didn't notice it was happening. BOOM! I was up to the weight I was when I delivered my second child and I was not fucking pregnant!!!!! My husbands band is now becoming the next big thing and I am all of a sudden at a lot of shows, being the good wife, wearing whatever I could to camouflage the huge ass tire around my belly, my expanding arms and my ass the size of Texas. Empire waist tunics became my best friend along with a size 32 jean that I was about to bust out of, but refused to buy anything bigger. Depression set in, and my nightly glass of wine, turned into a bottle, turned into almost 2 per night. 5-10 more lbs. later I had enough. I know my husband would love me if I weighed 300 lbs, but he was getting concerned. I was not happy with myself, he knew that. It is not healthy to be overweight. I was not healthy.
Atkins, Zone, Hampton, South Beach.. you name it, I tried it. Even signed up for Jenny. I bought every US, Star, whatever magazine in the grocery line that featured the latest star and how skinny she has become in less than a month and how she did it. I bought every pill, fat burner, water pill, appetite suppressant, even delved into laxatives. Sometimes mixing all of the above. Lost a few lbs. here and there, gained it back... yada yada yada.
Then I stumbled upon a book called "Eat to Live" . It became my bible. I started to see a few lbs. fall off. But still drinking WAY to much. I finally quit drinking for 2 months.. cold turkey. 15 lb.s gone.. poof! So I wandered around for the last 2 years drinking again, but much less, and 1/2 ass following the instruction of my Eat to Live bible. I cannot recite what he says about eating pasta and grains right now because I cannot find the book, but I have cut out white flour and have gone totally multigrain over the last year thinking I was finally not dieting, but eating the way a person should eat. Cut all the fat out of my diet, except the good fat.. avocados, nuts, good oils. But very little of that stuff. So I am about 10 lbs. now away from my fighting weight and back into a 4... but I do not look good. I'm skinny fat!!!! So enter exercise. It's making me a bit more toned in my legs and arms, but there is still loosey goosey stuff in places there shouldn't be and cellulite GALORE!! How did I get cellulite on my thighs???? Eeeeeew!
So I was at work about 2 weeks ago and my friend/co-worker/manager was reading a book one night when we were dead at work and sitting around. I asked her what she was reading and 2 hours later I felt like I had met my muse. She so eloquently recited what she has read so far in this book and was so enthusiastic that I was like... I'll start reading it soon, just tell me what you are doing day to day because I wanna start NOW!. She has lost 15 lbs in about 3 weeks, has energy like you wouldn't believe and her hair and skin are glowing like a 5 year old.
She has 2 books. Good Calories Bad Calories and The Primal Blueprint. GCBC is a very scientific look at what 100's of authors, scientist, etc have said over the last .. say 100-400 years. Gary Taubes is an incredible science journalist offering you the facts. The Primal Blueprint is written by Mark Sisson. It is Taubes work in layman terms. Mark also has a website, www.marksdailyapple.com. FILLED with brilliant information and facts.
These books are not diet books. They basically lay it out for you scientifically. You make your own decision.
I have been eating primal now for 10 days-ish. I have lost 9 lbs. The kicker is.. (maybe TMI) .. but mother nature visited today and instead of gaining my usual 5-8 lbs pre-preiod, I lost 9. I am not fat and am not obsessed with being skinny any longer. I am obsessed with being healthy. Body fat = disease. Being fat doesn't mean you are unhealthy and being skinny does not mean you are healthy. So take it upon yourself to do your due diligence, consult with your doctor if you have issues and damnit... READ THESE 2 BOOKS!!!
Yes, primal man only lived a short life, but it was not b/c of his diet. Only 17% of primal man died of illness and it was predominantly due to common injuries and illnesses that we now can cure quickly with antibiotics. Remember those were not around then?? The remaining deaths were due to other circumstances / accidents. They were barefoot and they were in shape and they were resourceful. I can't help but think that this is the way God intended.
Good luck to you!

New year, New blog
So this is my first blog and it's a New Year. Resolutions? I have none. Goals? I have a few. Those of you that know me know that I have been involved in a couple benefits. I have a seasonal job right now, but am otherwise retired for the time being. So I like to use my free time to help out people in need. With this said, I am already working on my first project for 2011 and I feel real good about it. Along with a team of 5 other people I am going to take on one of the toughest 10 mile obstacle courses. It is called "Tough Mudder". At the bottom of this blog will be links to follow to check this out. So, I will be spending the next two months trying to build upper body and core strength and increase my endurance. This is going to be a huge challenge. So, why am doing this you ask? Why am I taking on 19 obstacles that involve cold water, mud, smoke granades, barbed wire, live wire, fire, etc etc.??? I am doing it for the "Wounded Warrior Project".
From www.woundedwarrioproject.org:
"Over 40,000 service members have been injured in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is further estimated that over 300,000 suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression. By listening to and surveying the warrior population, WWP has worked diligently to respond to PTSD and other injuries of this conflict like traumatic brain injury (TBI). Through innovative programs, services, and now technology, WWP in further connecting and finding resources for this generation of warriors. Fully engaging injured service members in the virtual world has been a key part of this strategy."
Together with the owners of The Beackstage Beat and a few others, we will take this bitch on and our goal is to raise $5000 for the Wounded Warriors. We are asking everyone to chip in at least a $1. Every dollar DOES count. We have A LOT of friends :)
Please go to www.thebackstagebeat.com and click on the "Backstage Beat Tough" link. Please read it, watch the video's and then click on the donate tab. We REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks and God Bless,
Marianne
