Valentine's Day Gifts

Saying you care in a special way is what Valentine's Day is all about. Paying extra attention to those little details that let some know how much they mean to you. We've have some perfect gifts and ideas on how to use them that will tell your special someone just what you mean to them. Plus, they will keep on reminding them of your love and thoughtfulness every time they use them!

For Her:

How about a Smart Spa Colada Sparkle Try Me kit. It contains a sugar scrub and luxry lotion. Hint: Mix up a couple of Pina Colada's (with or without the rum) and toast her "Sparkle" as you present your gift. It will feel like a true tropical getaway with the delicious aromas of coconut, pineapple and papaya!

Nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate. Serve her up Chocoholicks - four irresistible chocolate-y shades of decadent lip gloss in a beautiful complact with a retractable lip brush. Add in the Jane Iredale Deluxe Mirrored Cosmetic Bag and a Magic Mitt and you are sure to thrill her!

Shampoo for your Valentine??? Of course, if it is Goldwell's Kerasilk Ultra Rich Care Shampoo and you do the shampooing for them. Nothing is so relaxing as having your hair brushed; so spend some time brushing with the Flatter Me Paddle Brush by Marilyn Brush in long, luxuious strokes. Then shampoo, condition and, of course continue brushing and drying with the Hot Tools Professional Anti-Static Ionic Dryer.

For Him:

Give him a shave and offer to scrub his back! Start with Woody's Shave Lather. This moisturizing cream acts like an aerosol foam and provides a completely different shaving experience. Then draw a warm bath and give him Just4Play Hair and Body Wash. The macro moisture complex will eliminate dry skin and lifeless hair. He will feel refreshed from the inside out! Last, spritz on some Love Grenade Body Spray for the attraction reaction!

For the both of you:

A warm, sexy evening at home with a bottle of wine and an Earthly Body 3-in-1 Suntouched Skin Candle will warm your hearts. Enjoy the soft, fragrant candle glow as you hold hands and sip your wine...then when the candle has melted into a warming skily massage oil, taValentine's Day Gift Ideaske turns smoothing it on eachother. After that, it is up to you!

Yikes! My Hair is Falling Out!

Don't Panic...Check your medications.

Normal hair sheds about 100,000 hairs in four years or about 500 a week. When shedding rate is faster than replacement rate it results in thinner hair. Faster shedding during spring and autumn is normal for up to six weeks. For anyone to notice hair loss, you would have to lose about 15% of your hair.
Never stop taking your medication because of hair loss or avoid taking it because you are concerned about hair loss. Discuss the problem with your doctor. There are, however, some steps you can take to help your body resist hair loss when using medication.
MEDICATIONS
Aspirin can lower hemoglobin levels which results in a mild anemia. Iron is essential for hair growth and a deficiency may cause thinning or shedding hair. Your doctor may suggest iron supplements. You should include more iron rich foods, such as spinach or lean red meat, in your diet.
Thyroid drugs can result in hair loss or hair being brittle, dry and dull. When you have a hyperactive thyroid, the reproduction of hair follicle cells speeds up and hair falls out faster than they can be replaced. If you have hypothyroid, hair does not grow back as quickly leaving thinning patches. Your doctor may need to adjust your medication. You need to be sure to discuss the problem with the doctor when you first notice the problem. You can also use shampoos, conditioners and other hair products that work to add volume and luster to your hair.
Hormone Replacement Therapy drugs and Contraceptive Drugs are androgenic, meaning they contain male hormones. This can lessen hair growth. Natural microscopic shrinking of hair follicles occurs naturally as we age. This results in smaller hair. You and your doctor can decide if a drug that is anti-androgen would be an effective right choice for you.
Cholesterol inhibitors may be the thinning hair culprit in about 1% of cases. It’s the same for anti-depressants. If taken regularly for over three months, anti-inflammatory painkillers can also cause hair thinning in about 3% of cases. Again, discuss it with you doctor. Do not stop the medication.
Psoriasis Drugs may slow down the product of new skin cells but may have the side effect of changing the hair color or making it curly. The reasons are unclear, but it is thought the drugs interfere with the structure of the hair’s root. Hair returns to its normal state when treatment ended.
Acne medications containing retinoid, which is derived from vitamin A, may cause hair loss. Vitamin A protects hair follicles, but too much may temporarily shut down the follicle. They affect the cells that produce keratin so can cause changes in density, appearance and color. In all cases these changes were temporary and hair returned to normal within a few months once treatment ended.
Antibiotics reduce hemoglobin and can lower vitamin B levels that make hair fall out faster. You can take a vitamin B supplement while you are on the antibiotics. Remember, the illness you’re being treated for may also be the culprit so discuss it with your doctor.
VITAMINS
Vitamin A is essential for healthy hair. However, taking more than 10,000 IU’s a day can make your hair fall out as it increases cell reproduction in hair follicles. This means they reach the end of their growth phase faster. You should lower your dosage.
Vitamin C can be over-used. Many people take large doses of vitamin C, especially when fighting a cold. Although the body may flush out excess Vitamin C, there are side effects. Vitamin C affects skin cell reproduction and increases the levels of pityrosporon ovale yeasts which cause flaky, inflamed scalps. You need to reduce your dosage.
Vitamin E used to excess can lower the absorption of iron in the body. Brittle, thinning hair results when your body does not have enough iron. Taking both vitamin E and iron counteract. If you are taking both, take one in the morning and the other in the evening.
HAIR CARE
Using a shampoo, conditioner and styling products designed for fine or thinning hair will help keep your hair at its possible best while taking a medication that is causing hair problems. A couple of favorites worth mentioning are Alterna’s Caviar Brand Line and L’Anza Healing Nourish. Both help extend hair growth cycle and prevent hair breakage.
