Treat your feet right

You're back on campus? Maybe your kids back are in school? Or it's just been a long day? ... either way, you must be beat this week. After a warm shower, why not treat yourself to a quick 7 minute at-home pedicure.

1) The first step to a flawless pedi is to remove your old nail polish. You probably don’t think twice about what nail polish remover you use, but it does make a difference to the health of your nails. Use a non-acetone based polish, because it is more gentle and won’t dry out nails.

2) Unless your toenails are really long, file nails, instead of clipping them. Filing allows for greater control of the length and the shape to give you a prettier pedi. File the edges of the nails at an angle for a softer shape.

3) Use a foot balm like Urban Sugarbaby's Feet Treat. This balm gives a warm sensation as it is massaged in and doesn't leave a greasy feel. The neem provides itch relief, while the peppermint and menthol soothes aches and swelling from high heels or being on your feet all day. When applying, pay special attention to your heels and other rough areas as you massage the balm in.

4) Use a toe separator to keep toenails from hitting each other and potentially smudging your polish. Paint toes with a pretty polish.

This personal treat is inexpensive, relaxing and fun!

I'm in love with Mary Jane

She's my main thing.
She makes me feel alright.
She makes my heart sing.

This upcoming fall's top shoe pick is the classic and sleek mary jane heel. Mary Jane's are simple, sexy and timeless. Pair them with a cute pencil skirt, skinny or wide leg jeans, or doll yourself up with them in baby doll style dress. This style of shoe will be an investment you won't regret.

Right in the kisser!

Super soft lips are worth a 1000 kisses!

Beauty Tip: For a juicy & supple set of kissers, use a clean warm damp wash cloth and rub in circular motion to remove dead skin from lips, pierce a Vitamin E capsule, squeeze onto finger and smooth over your lips at bed time once a week. Be sure to apply a super rich lip balm everyday under your favorite gloss or lipstick. This supplies super hydration and protection from the earth's everyday elements such as wind, heat, and cold weather. Works absolutely fabulous on dry chapped lips.

Feet are like fine cars ...

After a good detailing you want to show them off ... but without regular maintanence they will break down!

Beauty Tip: Rest those tired, achy feet. Pour 2 cups of mouthwash (yes, the mouthwash you gargle with) into your foot spa water, soak your feet for about 15 mins to open your pores, exfoliate with an essential oil based foot scrub, rinse and pat dry and apply creme.

For extra conditioning and softness wrap your feet with saran wrap for 10 minutes. The foot scrub will soothe and refine your heels and the bottom of your tired feet while the mouthwash kills germs and bacteria. And the saran wrap treatment ... well that just prevents you cutting up your honey with the roughness. We're just kidding ... okay we're not ... Now walk it out!

Divas FLIRT with their EYES!

Never with their hands! The best way to speak from across the room is a good ol' fashion bat of the lashes.

Beauty Tip: Sexy, sultry, smokey eyes are super hot! Kick your innocent babygirl look up a notch with sexy dark eyes and a gently playful pout. Use a dark brown eyeshadow along the eyelid to the outside corner, apply heavier at corner. Highlight the inside corner of your eye with a divalicious gold, silver or pink and gently blend into the dark brown. Highlight brow bone with same/similiar color to balance out the dark brown. Simply sweep dark brown eyeshadow along your lower lid. Top it off with two coats of masacara and VOILA! Apply a neutral shade of gloss. For your gloss to have an even and smooth appearance prep lips with a sheer lip balm. Whatever you do AVOID BLACK EYELINER especially if you're unfamiliar with this technique! Please be aware if done incorrectly you will look like Pepe Le'Pew the Skunk. But, we have faith in you ... you're a fox!

Butt ... I <3 you!

There's nothing sexier than a smooth & sexy bum!

Beauty Tip: Pamper that fabulous body of yours. At least once week along with the rest of your body exfoliate your backside and the back of your thighs directly under your bum. Then moisturize with a cocoa butter rich moisturizer. This will give your skin an awesomely even tone and even better ... smooth out cellulite! Now, isn't that just bootyful!

Be Beauty AND Brains

It's easy to be cute, no problem. Little makeup, toss of the hair, fabulous dress and a pair of kick ass stilettos! But to be cute and intelligent is pure talent and down right sexy. So use your brain ladies.
Boost your intellectual side and fight cognitive deterioration by tapping into the organic side of life. Add folic acid, omega-3 fat, antioxidant rich foods to your diet.

· FISH OIL (available in vitamin capsules or a nice grilled salmon fillet)
· AVOID SYNTHETIC SUGARS (i.e. High fructose corn syrup)
· ORGANIC, RAW LEAFY GREENS (mustard greens, broccoli, fresh spinach)
· RAW EGGS (excellent source for those who can brave it ... but uh ...t he jury is still out on this one)
· BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, CHERRIES & BLACKBERRIES fabulous over a chilled cup of vanilla yogurt)

Another way to be at your mental best is to keep your brain stimulated and open to receive new information. Get a full nights rest as often as possible and include aromatherapuetic oils to your eveyday life. Oils such as lemongrass, vetiver, chamomile and lavender relax the mind providing an overall mental clarity and tranquility while sweet orange blossom, lime, peppermint and eucalytpus transform a lack of energy into a boost of sunshine and pick me up! Try your favorites in an oil burner and let the oils dance freely throughout your home and enlighten everyone in its path.

One fierce lady ...

Isn't She Lovely ...

She's made from love and deserves the utmost respect and kindness!

Support recycling and living a healthy "greener" lifestyle. Right now, between global warming, tragic events and the plague of cancer that is running rampant in our society, its time we take a step back and observe were we are lacking in our contribution to not only the world, our fellow man, but also to ourselves. Polluted water systems, overwhelming extinction of wildlife and the abuse of our land is starting to show up in everyday happenings.

Here are some amazing green facts:
A glass bottle can take up to one million years to breakdown. Plastic bottles take 700 years before they begin to decompose in a landfill. It takes over 1.5 million barrels of oil to manufacture a year’s supply of bottled water. That’s enough oil to fuel 100,000 cars. Whenever possible buy gallon jugs instead of bottles. Plastic is almost always the product of petroleum, a non-renewable resource. This makes recycling plastic even more important. Select paper over plastic at the grocery store. Paper quickly biodegrades which reduces the consumption of fuel and the output of toxins in the atmosphere.

Do your part! Join Urban Sugarbaby's Campaign Sweet Mother Nature and be a "green queen." We're are contributing our time and efforts to the earth. We want to promote and encourage our customers to recycle, if you don't already. Participating in our campaign is easy, free of charge and will make you feel so much better about playing your role in bringing sweet Mother Nature back to life.
