Looking Young At Any Age!
SUMMER BEAUTY TIPS Every summer we deal with lots of fattening foods at cook outs, salt water hair, and dry skin; so here are some tips from a couple of my gorgeous new friends that will keep you looking young and gorgeous all summer long! My favorite tips are actually very simple; hydrate and exercise! MUST HAVE PRODUCTS!
Skin Care - ANEW by Avon Supplement - Catalyst by Advocare Hair Care - Techniques Lotus Shield and Moroccan Oil by Avon
YVE BEAUCHAMP FEINBERG
My children are my workout these days; however I do play Tennis on Fridays and get to the gym at least once a week. I always try to make everything I do a workout. I take the stairs rather than the elevator or escalator and park far away from my destination and then walk at a brisk pace. As we age it gets challenging with our metabolism. This is why I started consuming Advocare products. I’m able to spend more time with my family and not the gym. Don’t get me wrong, I use to love the gym, however my kids and family are my priority now. Yes, I’m even one of those moms who volunteers at their school. I’ve been a fitness model for many years and have had the opportunity to shoot many infomercials with many fitness gurus. Another reason why I need to always maintain my weight and keeping the appearance of looking younger. In the past I have ran marathons such as, the Boston Marathon, New York City Marathon and Tampa Hops Marathon. I still love to run on Saturday mornings and occasionally run half marathons. Running definitely slims me down the quickest when I need to shed my winter coat. My favorite products are the Anew Genics line from Avon and Advocare’s Performance Elite Line. Favorite product would have to be Catalyst which preserves and helps tone muscles as part of an exercise program. www.Advocare.com/10025155 NORA GUENTHER
The most honest comment I can say of our youth, is luck of genetics, can’t fight that. As we get older, we have to work harder at it. I love to stay young looking with the help of drinking lots of water, keeping up with good skin care, eating right and remaining active. The cream I use daily is Avon’s Anew Ultimate 7S, I love the richness and scent. It’s worked great for my skins youthful appearance. To keep my entire body looking youthful, I exfoliate daily with an oily sugar scrub after cleansing in the shower. I then finalize it with Avon’s Skin So Soft bath oils (soft & sensual scent). Since I’ve retired from 22 years with Continental Airlines, I’ve developed a plan for a good healthy lifestyle. My daily cardio at the YMCA including Les Mill’s BodyPump & Body Combat really changed my physique. My meals consist of plain Greek yogurt every morning with raspberry, blueberries and sprinkled with milled flax. That is post workout. After my gym workout, which is generally from 9am-12noon, I have 4 egg whites, spinach scrambled with Boca Veggie burger for extra protein. Dinner is usually salmon or chicken with quinoa & veggies. This has really slimmed me down and brought me back to a younger appearance. This is what I’ve been doing for the last few months and it has been working. My best friend Yvette has taught me how to smile a lot and to laugh and enjoy life, also great contributions to looking and feeling younger. www.YourAvon.com/Nora77

Fairy-tale weddings are my favorite type of wedding. What little girl does not dream of being a princess wearing a beautiful long flowing dress, hair in curls and a sparkling tiara? Brides come in all ages and sizes. Their styles vary from the traditional large event with all the bells and whistles to a very intimate casual barefoot beach wedding. One thing is certain — she will be the center of attention. While the groom may be called upon to assist his fiancée, much of the responsibility falls upon the bride. The day must be perfect. Although the ceremony and reception only last a few hours, the memories will last a lifetime. A smart bride will enlist the help of family, friends, and professionals to create this unforgettable event. HAIR & MAKE-UP:
Hair and makeup should out last you and should require minimal care throughout the event. With so many options, it can be overwhelming. Hair extensions, color, curls, waves, straight…how does one choose? Find a makeup artist and hairdresser who is willing to practice prior to your big day to help you decide, and choose a style that suits your face and hair type. At times, the same person doing your makeup can also provide hairstyling services. Bring photos from magazines or styles found on-line to show them. Once you have been styled, test your look. Go dancing or spend time at the beach, if the wedding is outdoors. If at the end of the trial run you still look “fresh,” you know you have a lasting style that works. Our own makeup artist and hairdresser Monique McLaughlin shared, “Camera-ready makeup and hair are essential for one of the biggest days in your life. Brides spend a lot of money on the details, but to me, what could be more important than your face for pictures that last a lifetime?”
DRESS:
Style and comfort should go hand in hand. Gone are the days where the dresses were so fitted you could not sit or walk fast. Style came first, and comfort never arrived. Today, your dress should fit comfortably so you can dance the night away or simply look stunning in your photos. Today’s casual style allows you to wear your wedding dress for the entire ceremony and reception without having to change unless that is your desire. Choose from a variety of lengths in shades of white, cream or champagne. Other options are strapless, sleeveless or long sleeves. A professional can take the confusion out of shopping for just the right piece that may become an heirloom to be passed on to your daughter one day. “Dress selection for a bride is vital. It should be a perfect blend of the bride’s personality, venue location/theme and body type. All of these factors should come together to make the perfect dress for each individual bride,” advises Jessica Rios, designer who provided the beautiful dresses for our shoot. While there are many other details to attend to such as music, venue, food, and accommodating out-of-town guests, know that you have professionals who can help make your planning less stressful. Professionals such as Jim Caul, Director of Sales & Marketing with Loews Don CeSar Hotel, and his staff can help you every step of the way to ensure you have a beautiful experience. “At the Loews Don CeSar, we want to make your celebration an unforgettable occasion. Our expert planners will help make your dream come true, lending their knowledge and experience in planning for your special day. Whether you are planning an elaborate champagne brunch, luncheon buffet or a formal four-course dinner, our award-winning chefs will deliver a dining experience you and your guests will savor for years to come.” Make your wedding planning easier by accepting a little help from friends, family members, and professionals. When you allow others to help with the fine details, you have more time to focus on what’s important to you on that special day.

You can wear a Tan True design with confidence, even in white, because each handmade piece will keep you covered and always emphasize the best attributes of your natural beauty. The intricate, one-of-a-kind crochet designs and exquisite selection of textures rival even the most delicate lace or silk.

Curb Gear DESIGNS CURB GEAR PHOTOGRAPHER JONATHAN RIDGELY MODELS KAITLYN KARL, LISA RAINEY, PRISCILLA DAUGHTRY
Grand Prix Gala FASHION DESIGNER COMPETITION WINNER
In order to participate in the competition designers had to submit an application, sketch of their design idea, and a paragraph about their inspiration for the design. Designers were judged by fashion industry professionals on the following five categories; design inspiration, Sketch and design comparison, creativeness, relativity of design to racing, and overall quality. Winning Designer Inspiration Paragraph
“My inspired design is a two piece designed with a corset top and fitted pant, layered with the sparkle of acrylic jewels from head gear to toe. Ruffles on the corset and pant simulate the wind of the racing cars on the speedway, while the model walks. Along with the jeweled helmet and racing gloves, this is Grand Prix gone Avent Garde”, by Curb Gear. ABOUT THE DESIGNER From the time she was a child, April knew a few things about herself. She knew that she was wild with ideas, futuristic and creative. Born in Louisville, Kentucky on July 14th 1969 where she lived with her father and mother and three sisters, until she was two. Texas was where she grew up and graduated. During her school years from elementary to high school, she was hand making everything from paper dolls, yarn wigs to cardboard sandals and clothing from paper grocery bags. Into her high school years, her mother taught her how to use her sewing machine that she had long put away. This is when she learned to design and sew things for herself. Before too long, she had a new skirt or new dress to wear just about every Sunday. After graduating from high school she moved to Florida, and attended IADT where she studied fashion design and her designing ideas began to come to life. In 1999 Curb Gear became the label name for her designs. And Curb Gear has been seen in many fashion shows in Florida and Georgia since 2005. These designs have been published in VM International magazine /Vocess magazine, Swim 2012 issue, the Cars & Couture, St.Pete Art & Fashion Week 2012 and Gladys magazine J’Adore 2012 issue. Curb Gear recently celebrated the award of Best Design in the fashion competition on March 22nd, 2013 at the Grand Prix Gala with Luxe Fashion Group. This designer’s goal is to become a well known American brand name in private boutiques and major stores. April is the designer for men, women and children’s clothing from Ready-to-wear to Bridal. Remember, Curb Gear........for the curb is your runway.
FROM CONCEPT TO
On March 22, 2013 designers created one of a kind race car inspired fashion designs and presented them on the runway at the Grand Prix Gala to compete for cash, prizes and the award for “Best Design”.
