As we noted in VIV Says, Nicole Ari Parker has created the Save Your Do GymWrap, a stylish headband that lets cool air in while allowing heat to escape during a workout. And it’s turned from a beauty issue to a health issue, brought to the nation’s attention by Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin, M.D., who cited hair concerns as a reason why some African American women opt not to exercise. Read more about Parker in “All She Desires,” the cover story of the Spring issue of VIVmag!

Find Your Inner Beauty Contest

admin — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:04:22 +0000

Instructional beauty guides are a dime a dozen these days, so when the new, inspirational Things a Woman Should Know About Beauty (Prion, 2008) by Karen Homer came across our desk, we took notice. This witty handbook offers beauty advice from makeup application to hair care, with an emphasis on bringing out your own inner beauty (not simply covering it up). The book is filled with photographs and anecdotes intended to make a woman more aware of what it is that makes her so individually attractive, and enhancing the qualities that are inherent within each of us. A refreshing, enjoyable read!

Five lucky readers will each win a copy (a $16 value per prize!). No purchase necessary, void where prohibited. To enter, simply fill out the form below.

You Glow, Girl Sweepstakes

admin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:56:12 +0000

Proper exfoliation is essential to ensure an even summer glow, be it au naturel or simply from a bottle. One of our favorite new products, the Exfolia Buffer Kit, contains high-tech fibers that polish skin to an ultra smooth finish — instantly. Unlike traditional exfoliation methods (which sometimes take several applications before skin appears smoother), Exfolia’s reusable, soft buffer cloths provide immediate skin gratification without the harsh, unwanted side effects (à la drying or redness) of other exfoliating products. Plus, the deluxe kits contain buffers for body, facial and pedicure along with a non-oily foaming cleanser, though they work just as well with your favorite skin wash.

Five lucky readers will each win an Exfolia Buffer Kit (a $24.50 value per prize!). No purchase necessary, void where prohibited. To enter, simply fill out the form below.
