5 Surprising Things That Are Aging Your Skin

Monday, June 22, 2015

Falling asleep with your makeup on

Not washing your face before bed can lead to bacterial infections, clogged pores and acne. And, continued cleansing neglect can cause your skin to age up to EIGHT days on one night.

Coffee

I love my morning coffee, I even enjoy a nice afternoon espresso now and again, but be aware that caffeine is a MAJOR culprit when is comes to dry skin and the magnification of wrinkles. If you are a fellow coffee lover, be sure to hydrate and quench your skin by drinking LOTS of water to counteract the superficial affects of caffeine.

Not Hydrating

It’s always surprising to me when people say that they don’t drink water. As humans, your body is composed of over 60% water. We all NEED to drink water to maintain healthy digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, body temperature and to fight off aging.

Cleanses

Constant cleansing and “yo-yo diets” have MAJOR negative impacts on your skin. This can lead to the breakdown of the natural collagen and elasticity in your skin causing sagging and stretch marks.

Lack of Exercise

It’s important to exercise, get your heart pumping and your blood flowing. Working out leads to perspiration (which may be “gross” but is important) that cleanses the body of toxins and promotes cellular growth.

One Fashion trend that MUST be stopped

Thursday, June 11, 2015

Flip-Flops

Lydia Hearst

We’ve all worn them at one time or another, some of you may still be wearing them today – It’s time to STOP. Not only are these pseudo-shoes unattractive by any standards and cause hammertoe. Still thinking about wearing flip flops? Here’s a list:

Clumsy – Wearing these shoes forces you to take smaller steps. This puts you more at risk to fumble and fall.

Blisters – Caused by excessive rubbing of the rubber/latex strap between your toes and across your foot. And when those blisters inevitably pop, you’re left with an open wound that makes you vulnerable to the pathogens you pick up every time you leave your foot exposed.

Hammertoe – I already mentioned this to you. Hammertoe is a type of damage that occurs when your toes are forced to grip extra hard (like while wearing and walking in flip-flops) to keep the shoes on you feet. This extensive and repeated gripping can cause stiffness, pain and you might wind up needing surgery.

Summer Style Trends

Monday, June 8, 2015

Don’t let the June Gloom fool you, it’s officially summer and here are some of the hottest trends to keep the spirit of summer alive and inspire your inner fashionista.

Lydia Hearst

Haute Hippy: Coachella might be over, but the fashionista’s love for billowing dresses and hippy-chic looks isn’t going anywhere any time soon. My personal favorite brands that are inline with this trend are the chic, flower-power ensembles by Free People, kaleidoscope motifs by Etro and the rockstar-glam looks from Saint Laurent.

Lydia Hearst

Khaki: Having first been introduced to the catwalk over 30 years ago, this safari-style trend is coming back with a vengeance. With designers like Ralph Lauren, Sonia Rykiel, Chanel and Marc Jacobs introducing radical twists to the classic utilitarian wardrobe.

Lydia Hearst

Folk: This seems to be one of the more creative, youthful and interesting twists to the fashion trends. Designers like Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Balmain have been showcasing patchwork patterns in their latest designs. I absolutely love these ensembles decorated with sweet prints and embroidery, which make your outfits naturally effortlessly elegant.

Lydia Hearst

Ballerina: Long, sweeping tutus certainly didn’t fall short while gracing the SS15 catwalks. Designers like Giorgio Armani, Vionnet, Dolce & Gabbana and Top Shop showcased classical, on pointe silhouettes that will have you looking like an elegant cross between a prima ballerina and a vestal virgin.

It is hard to pinpoint the exact moment that I wanted to work in entertainment and fashion, but it is something I remember always having my heart set on. The fashion industry is fickle and fast-paced – Trends and faces change every season – though, I have always loved the creative process. For someone who is only 5’7″ (give or take an inch), shy and unique looking, becoming a true model was no small feat. But, as fate would have it, I became one of the lucky ones. I was discovered by Steven Meisel and given my first VOGUE cover in Italy, March 2004, and shortly there after my first campaign, Prada FW2004. I had no idea what being a model even entailed – even though I knew that it was what I wanted to do and a part of who I was destined to become. Showing up at Milk Studios in Chelsea Piers surrounded by models like Karen Elson, Elise Crombez, Gemma Ward, Jessica Stam and Raquel Zimmerman was SO intimidating. These were the beautiful women who I looked up to and admired as I poured through my monthly fashion magazines… Then suddenly, there they were in the flesh. These women were shooting a campaign for one of the greatest fashion houses in the world and there I was, among them. This moment was a dream come true! And yet, it was only just the beginning…

From my experience, I can honestly say that one should never give up on their dreams. Instead of going through life saying “I want” or “I hope” say “I WILL”! It is important to always believe in yourself and chase your dreams. I did, and I still do.
